Kafe Kerouac Reviews
If this place were located in the suburbs, I would be in immense trouble because the bevs (both coffee and alcohol), the books, and the overall cozy vibes could easily rapture me as a regular.
LOVE this Cafe!! It was my life line during my stay in Columbus. People are super friendly and the coffee is delicious! Also, great for working with your laptop and just do your thing. I highly recommend.
Great place for a coffee in a relaxing atmosphere.

Known for its cozy vibes, it wins praise for having good coffee and a variety of drinks, including coffee cocktails. The venue hosts live music, open mic poetry, and features a bookstore, indie comics, and records. With fast wifi, board games, and a welcoming crowd of regulars, it’s a favorite hangout for many.

Overall, Kafe Kerouac is a place where the Ohio counter culture is alive, blending sincerity, creativity, and a bit of nostalgia.
