50 Best Cafes in Columbus

“What a cute lil shop. I have wanted to try this coffee shop for a minute, but I've always worked past two. Today I finally got my chance. Ordered a Lavender Cold Brew. It was delightful. And only $4! The cup is compostable, truly, and as a gardener I simply love that. I told the cashier it was my first time and she was so polite and welcoming and helpful when ordering. Lovely plants too. I will be back.“

“The egg sandwich is truly amazing. Perfect!!!“

“love this spot looks corporate but feels like home. Good people, great food and the have private rooms..“

“My Mother in law and I happened upon this place while driving around Columbus before we went to COSI. I am so glad we stopped because the staff were all very kind and helpful, their food was awesome and the ambiance/vibe was so great. It was a great place to chill and have great conversation. I had the avocado toast with lox and a poached egg, not only did it look amazing, but it tased so good! My M-I-L got a Monte Cristo sandwich and loved it. Also we got some of their delicious rosemary and olive oil bread, banana bread and a peach basil muffin to go. We each had a specialty coffee drink as well. Highly recommend!“

“Highly Recommended Morning Stop!

If you ever find yourself with 30 minutes to spare before work, I highly recommend stopping by Blend Café. Their coffee and freshly baked pastries are guaranteed to brighten your morning. I had a hot latte paired with a warm chocolate muffin on a drizzly day, and it instantly lifted my mood. The cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious menu make Blend Café a wonderful place to start your day feeling warm and happy. 🤍🖤“

“Intriguing, inviting atmosphere with a fresh and unique array of beverages.“

“the drinks that i got were really good, this place was recommended to me by a shop owner in Columbus. sadly the customer service wasn't really that good, they weren't friendly and the menu is confusing for us folks who are used to a regular degular latte. so i suggest looking at the menu before you go.“

“Just flew in from Pensacola and this was my first stop! Great atmosphere and fantastic service and the shakes were great. Will definitely be stopping back by again while I am here!“

“I love the Chocolate Cafe. I have come here many times, most recently to surprise a friend for her birthday. I ordered a full size Lemon and Berry Marscarpone cake. She loved it!! I loved! And there was a large amount to take home and share with her family. We also enjoyed some martinis and I took home some chocolate covered strawberries. 10/10“

“I HAD AN AMAZING TIME VISITING ROOSEVELT COFFEEHOUSE. The service was fantastic, the environment was incredible, and the pastry was one of the best I have ever had. Overall, such an amazing experience and will definitely be recommending to anyone visiting Columbus!“

“I tried this place for the first time today. I got the sweet cheese kolache for the office. Everyone loved them! The service was also fast and friendly. Highly recommend! I'll definitely be going back.“

“I’ve had a lot of matcha before and this place made the best. THE BEST strawberry matcha latte I’ve ever had. You can just tell they prioritize quality. The woman making it seemed on top of her game. The only thing is I wish the place was a little bigger(very cozy vibes) but I understand it’s hard out here.“

“Vibe was dope. Need more food options. Howbere I know it's a coffee shop but still just nice to have the extras since other coffee shops offer it. Also it would be a game changer considering it's not that many breakfast options in the area. But coffee was heat!!!“

“Breakfast seemed expensive but I think It's big portions. I regret not splitting a dish with my partner.

Buckeye latte was good but seems like normal cafe syrups. The High Chai was also pretty fun and tasty but I wouldn't put it above my normal drinks.“

“First time here this was really I’m impressed“

“I started working in the area about 6 months ago and I love mom and pop diners for lunch. Since I have visited Scotty's Cafe I have been eating lunch here every day (literally 5 days a week), you can't beat the atmosphere the food is amazing and the owners are definitely one of a kind. Gina and Scotty make you feel like one of the family,the staff is amazing,and you always look forward to your next visit. Definitely a 10 out of 10 every visit.“

“Chelsea with Offline - The Hello Spring toast was amazing! I also tried the S’mores Macchiato, and I can see why they made it a permanent menu item! Appreciated the quick and friendly service as well. I was nervous that the ghost kitchen system would be confusing, but it was pretty straightforward.“

“What an amazing retreat! Starting my own weight loss journey and UAN is a major part of my success! Love the variety of drinks/shakes and bowls…I haven’t found one I don’t love! Owners are very friendly and knowledgeable on all products and are motivating too!

Vegetarian options: They have so many options to choose from!

Kid-friendliness: They have drinks with and without caffeine.

Wheelchair accessibility: Absolutely accessible“

“Awesome vibe with delicious healthy shakes and the best energy teas!!“

“Drove a school bus full of students to the museum and stopped in for brunch. A well curated experience. The atmosphere in the cafe belongs in the museum. Simple, delicious, and food presentation as I would expect in a cultural setting.

It’s obvious by the clientele in the cafe it’s a gem.“

“The best baristas in Cbus! Love the environment that Park Service has created and it’s so convenient being within walking distance of the Convention Center! So many great choices and without all of the sugars…Parking is free at the parking garage next door! Love this cozy place to work and enjoy!“

“Coffee is top notch! Drinks including turtleneck/gold chain and espresso martini equally as great! A new fav spot for my husband and I to chill.“

“My office had lunch catered by Winn Winn and it was absolutely incredible! The delivery was right on time and perfectly organized. Every dish was fresh, beautifully prepared, and you could truly taste the high-quality ingredients in every bite. Our whole team was impressed. We will definitely be ordering again!“

“10/10! Everything was excellent. We got the Pho Dac Biet, egg rolls, bahn mi and ice coffee. I've had Houng's, Tai's, Paris Bahn Mi, and GC Pho. This place is the best IMO. Broth was flavorful, I love the tendon and culantro as a topping. The egg roll filling was so good.

It was pretty busy but service was still fast, friendly and efficient. Can't wait to go back!!“

“I’ve never had Somali food before, but we were in the area last night and it was around dinner time. The host was very kind and explained some of the main dishes to us.

My partner and I shared kay kay, a dish with wide flat pasta noodles (similar to shorter pieces of lasagna) and meat - we chose chicken. It also came with a small green salad on the side. The flavors were delicious, I loved the spices. It was just a tiny bit spicy, not too much - and I usually can’t handle much spice. We also ordered meat sambusas, which are like a crispy meat Pattie in fried dough. It was similar to a samosa in Indian food.

Our child got French fries and a mango smoothie, which he drank right up. It looked like there was whipped cream on top.

The atmosphere is simple, with exposed pipes and overhead lighting. There are art and mirrors on the walls, bringing additional light and color to the space.

Lots of people were coming in and out for takeaway orders.

Thank you Sophinas for a welcoming and delicious experience! We will be back :)“

“I had the Tidier-Tom sandwich, which was like a sloppy joe, and it had a yummy slaw mix and pickle slices on top. The mixed fruit was delicious, as was the Butterscotch Oatmeal cookie (which was HUGE, and I got too full, so I save the rest for later). So glad I tried this place!“

“I started high street nutrition in May. I have two young children and couldn't do much without feeling tired or out of breathe. I am so glad I came across this amazing group. Phil and em are always there whenever you need any advice I can't thank them both enough for the support they give me.The coaches and members are all so welcoming and friendly. I feel like have been going years. I started nutrition for a healthy and fitter lifestyle and I am definitely going the right way. So happy with my results so far 🙌 😊♥️“

“Good convenient coffee. The branding doesn’t make sense though. It is called the caffeine element but caffeine is not an element it is a compound. They even double down on this branding by displaying the chemical formula for caffeine on the door, which is clearly composed of multiple elements. Normally fine ok I get it but this place is attached to a library on a college campus. The pun is too much of a stretch to pull off.“

“Brian catered my daughter’s bridal shower and he was outstanding to work with!! We had a last minute venue change and he stepped up to help even more. He responded quickly to messages and delivered exactly what we were hoping for. He arrived on time for the shower and had everything ready. He is know for his bread and his rolls and cinnamon rolls were incredible and I don’t know what he did to create an egg casserole for our brunch but it was the talk of the day!!! I recommend Brian’s catering for every event!! He went above and beyond to help me and all of the food was top notch!“

“This was such a fun date night for my husband and I. We enjoyed some delicious cocktails, shared a pizza, and watched the burlesque show in the speakeasy upstairs. They are talented dancers and the live music was an awesome touch as well. I wasn't sure what to expect, but we had a really fun night together at this club and I would totally do it again! I want to come back with my adult daughters for the male review night.“

“Reid and all the staff at Blue Moon Cafe always go above and beyond to meet their customers needs and please their taste buds. Reid creates some of the best food I’ve ever eaten! I highly recommend Blue Moon to anyone in the Alpena area! You will not be disappointed!“

“Thanks thanks thanks thanks“

“Come to this cafe is an adventure to pass the security station to get into the court at elevator to 16th floor. The cafe has the special view never seen a little more than 180 degrees around the tower. The food is the cafe not impressed but everyone is friendly and be honest I really enjoyed eating my meatballs sub while looking around this beautiful city.Open 8am and close 3pm“

“Do not miss this hidden little donut diner dive! The donuts are made fresh on site! The prices are low and staff attentive! Everything looked so good and mouthwatering we devoured and didn’t take photos. The stop is fast and friendly so make time for it!“

“I understand that running a business is extremely difficult nowadays so I decided to give a good review even though I had a bad experience today when I first time visiting the place. It’s a great location on campus and provides lots of convenience to staffs and students. However, the cashier who worked today during the lunch time is just not very friendly and being very bias. I thought it’s a regular Starbucks store and could use my app to pay but it’s not, when she told me that I couldn’t use my app, I immediately switch to my apply pay. The system was slow to get the transaction done and I can tell she lost her patience and assumed I didn’t know how to use Apple Pay. I feel sorry to hold the line so I even apologize for it when she showed me the bad attitude. Unfortunately I didn’t like the drink I was served so I went back with the full cup and ask if I could get a new one (I normally don’t do that but I just don’t like the taste and really need a cup of coffee to help me get through). She showed me an embarrassed face and looked at me like I tried to take advantage of it. She said “okay but you have to pay for it”. I am shocked and that’s my first time experiencing at this store. I do appreciate other two staffs who worked there. They are very understanding to help me out and they worked so hard.“

“Friendly staff with good coffee and great Somali tea! Pretty big menu including sambusas, ice cream, and smoothies. Hours can be inconsistent, as there have been a few times I went there and they were closed at times they were previously open.“
