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.
