50 Best Cafes in Columbus

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

“Incredible coffee. We are from an area with amazing coffee shops and roasters so our standards are pretty high. Florin knocked it out of the park with their espresso-forward lattes and sproda - not to mention their personable customer service. Our only regret is living so far away or else this would be a regular spot for us!“

“Every item we bought was amazing! We spent $90 on our first trip because we wanted to try everything and not a single thing disappointed.“

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

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

“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.“

“The Blueberry Chia Bowl and Hug in a Mug were the perfect breakfast and so delicious. I am from out of town and will be craving the bowl until my next visit!“

“Incredibly nice Breakfast Eatery with friendly customer Service, and an amazing variety of food options. I highly recommend!“

“I just got the BLT Biscuit (with an added fried egg on top) and it was AMAZING!!! 😻 This is one of my favorite places to eat in C-Bus--the food is always well-prepared and the staff is always friendly. I recommend getting the side salad--that dressing is 🔥!“

“Friendly and Helpful Staff. Fresh and Delicious food. Coffee was amazing. Definitely worth coming back to explore the menu more.“

“So good! Best Cinnamon Roll in Cbus, Biscuits and Gravy, and GREAT coffee!“

“We hosted our wedding reception at Mozarts in their ballroom and could not be happier. They’re so helpful, accommodating, and the space is absolutely beautiful. Such a beautiful hidden gem in columbus. The all inclusive reception options and over the top service cannot be beat!“

“first time at Tabletop Cafe today, had a very good time with my bf. Employees were friendly and helpful , environment was fun. Overall I think it's a great place to go, we will be back. thanks.“

“The pastries were so fresh and delicious! We dined in but was so impressed with the food, we purchased more to take home with us. The coffee was top notch too. I forget the name of the one I ordered, but it was an amaretto orange flavor with a cream cap. Sooooooooo good!“

“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“

“hands down the best matcha I've had!! you know it's going to be good when you ask to add the ginger black tea persimmon syrup to a matcha latte and are told that it might overpower the matcha itself - this shows dedication and craft to the drinks themselves, which are phenomonal. being in east market it was a bit loud, but I'm eager to try their other location :)“

“Really good coffee! I make it a point to visit when I’m in the area.“

“We are regulars here. The staff are friendly and hard working. Not afraid to have a conversation with you and they will make your order right without issue. They have other locations but we prefer this location based upon the employees we encounter and the food being so on point.“

“The Food is soooo good at Habibi Grill! We frequent them regularly and love the excellent Lebanese food. They always exceed expectations and the food never disappoints. Delicious!“

“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!“

“A phenomenal meal and lovely location. The food was made either care and the recipes are well crafted. Highly recommend stopping in here to sample several options from their menu and enjoy a great little haven away from the Omni world. Updated from previous review on 2026-06-22“

“Their new menu adds even more variety than they have had in the past. They offered Cajun seasoned popcorn as soon as we were seated and then brought a sample of a new drink that they were testing. We ordered an omelet, a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and two chocolate cookies (with whipped cream) for dessert. The omelet came with potatoes. All were outstanding.“

“Amazing food and cool unique decor! 10/10!“

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

“We love Emmett's. The food, drinks, and atmosphere have all always been fantastic. I'm particularly partial to the breakfast burrito and green juice. Emmett's works well for either work-coffee-chats or as a fun, casual breakfast/brunch place to take out-of-town guests. When it's not busy, kids love exploring the building & grounds. If I could offer one suggestion: I do wish they had a bit more in the way of vegan options so I could bring my mom.“

“I love watching them make their matcha! Its an inspiration on how to make my own at home with my own ingredients. Its great technique! Cute spot but it is very small! Being great quality and service will bring high demand. Hopefully can think of a better line operation! But its nice and clean with great natural lighting!“

“The energy teas are to die for, and the protein bites...OMG!!! I come almost every day to get a drink after my workouts to replenish which comes with other healthy add ins (I'm anlways craving a drink the next day). The customer service is always above and beyond. I feel revived and satisfied after every visit and always leave with a smile on my face! This place is truly a hidden gem; ever since I started going here, more and more teens from my high school go! A lot of OSU athletes are starting to come in as well!“

“Great first time experience, out of all the pho places I've tried this is the best one so far. Looking forward to be a returning customer. Pho flavors hits all the necessary profiles, Vietnamese ice coffee and salty lemonade was so refreshing. The sring rolls were made with care nice and neat. Highly recommend this spot.“

“So much fun! Glad we had reservations so we had actual seats. I would hate to stand all night. Our server, Alexis, was phenomenal! Friendly, attentive, and when we asked for napkins bc of the condensation from our glasses causing our table to be wet, she went a step further and came back with a wet rag and cleaned our whole table!“

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

“Thank you for supporting our local immigrant community! 🇺🇸“

“Miam miam.

Food good.
Cozy place, nice brunch ambiance. Not too noisy so you can still hear your date talking to you.
The juices were very good.
I'll be back for sure!!

Thank you!!“

“I walked over from a nearby event just to check this place out. The food and drink options both sounded great from the menu posted on the door so I went in. I had the iced cookie butter latte and half Berry Ricotta toast. Both were delicious! The servers were all warm and welcoming, bringing my order to where I sat in front of a window facing the street. Definitely recommend giving them a try!“

“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.“

“One of the best secondary cafe within a main establishment I’ve ever had if that makes sense. Curious as to why the food is so randomly delicious at a museum cafe, I had asked one of the employees about this and they explained that the museum hosts banquetesque events as well as weddings thus the kitchen in-house is the very same that provides catering. Anyways,“

“The restaurant was clean and had a nice family atmosphere. All of the staff were friendly and attentive. The blackened chicken was delicious. The Gelato was equally delicious. I tested a few different flavors of gelato, then settled on the Lemon Cake and Mora. We will definitely visit again!“

“Best chips and salsa around and the food is always delicious. Friendly and efficient staff. Our go to place at least once a week.“

“Went to the Blu Note for the first time for my birthday in August. One of the waitresses was being trained by another waitress so we had two waitresses waiting on us (: and they did a great job!!! The live music was lively and the food was excellent , lamb chops were off the chain and the chicken wings were seasoned just right! They gave me complimentary New York Style Cheese Cake for my birthday as well ! In my Arnold Schwarzenegger impression “I’ll be back”.“

“The coffeeshop atmosphere is great and the employees are friendly. I had cortado and it was okay. Coffee is served in paper cups which was kind of disappointing. The experience would have been better if they had ceramic cups available for dine-in.“

“Third Time in History for a Warp Speed Brunch at this fabulous location... Our Server, Taylor, did an Extraordinary Job taking care of The Pastor and I... Great Team Work as previous Server from our last visit was Food Running... Morning Meditation Drinks, Waffle Triple Breaks for The Pastor... French Toast for me. Excellent Service✔️Fast and Professional Delivery✔️Coffee to Boldly Go...ENGAGE!! 🖖🏼✝️🍽🇺🇲“

“Enjoyed the food, the friendly atmosphere & service!“

“We love going to locally owned coffee shops, and Grandview Grind is in our normal rotation. The coffee drinks are always very good and the selection and quality of pastries are exceptional.“

“One of our favorites and, our favorite for breakfast/brunch, specifically. So fresh, healthy & delicious. Always experienced great service and the servings are generous.“

“If you’re in Columbus and haven’t tried this spot yet, you’re seriously missing out. The Somali food here is incredible, full of rich, authentic flavors that really feel like a true home cooked meal.

Everything tastes like it’s made with care and tradition, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh and prepared with love. On top of that, the service is A1, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind.

It’s more than just a meal, it’s an experience that feels warm and comforting from start to finish. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something real and unforgettable!“

“I have been a couple of times for breakfast and this is a great place to get a bagel sandwich. I often get a steak egg and cheese on an onion bagel and it is fantastic every time. They have cozy seating and great service. I will be back for lunch or dinner!“

“First time here and I’ll definitely be back! So friendly!!! So fresh hot and delicious!!! BEST grits I’ve ever had!!! Sooooo much inside my omelet!“

“I have enjoyed coming here for an occasional coffee. Better coffee and lattes than that place around the corner. The breakfast sandwiches are made fresh and good. I like the cheese balls as well. The place is a bit small, so I usually take my order to go. I also wish they were open later. I highly recommend the coffee!“

“Perfection and deliciousness“

“Amazing food and service.“
