This coffee shop was a lot bigger than I imagined. There were multiple seating options inside. The service was speedy and efficient. The cookies were great! Coffee was good too, but the syrup was pretty strong. Make sure to ask for leas if you don't want it like that. The monin syrups are great quality and they have many options.

On a cold, muggy Saturday, my friend and I ventured out to Granville to explore. Found this coffee spot by accident, because the one down the street was so busy! Glad we discovered this spot. It sits inside of a refurbished house that is also used as a gathering spot for meetings, and I believe there are offices upstairs. It was so charming! The seating was open and inviting, and even though there were a lot of people here, we managed to find a cozy spot. I got a bagel and cinnamon roll-flavored coffee. Definitely want to come back when I’m in town again!Vegetarian options: There were some options for vegetarians, pretty typically breakfast/brunch offeringParking: The parking lot is weirdly shaped and shared by multiple businesses. I could see the lot becoming full on really busy days. We were able to find a spot though.

Just discovered this beautiful and inviting coffee shop this week after visiting a nearby park. Has great ambiance and seating, including a covered patio and outdoor seating. They have a great selection of drinks and different flavor combos, and drinks are reasonably priced overall, and we're very flavorful. My only reason for four stars is the alternative milk pricing is the highest I've seen at any coffee shop. 2.00 for oat milk is paying for almost a half gallon of milk. I understand an upcharge but most places it's ,50 or $1. I hope they will reconsider this pricing in the future.

Stopped in on our way back from trip. Easy to get to, large seating area and very good coffee and breakfast options. Great for working or just relaxing.

Good little coffee joint to chill out, get work done, and safe. I like going here with clients needing a soft and safe place to interact.

Went here with a christian fellowship group for food and games. All of the staff that I encountered was nice. The only downside is the food. There are only a few options. I went for the pepperoni stromboli and it tasted like a frozen hot pocket. I wish they had more food options. We are there playing games for a couple of hours and would certainly be willing to spend the money on food or snacks. I am not a coffee or tea drinker , so I can't speak on those.

First and most likely the last time I go there. I was really impressed with the coziness and the feeling of being in someone's living room. Beautiful house. I was excited to see what they offered as I came there on a recommendation from a friend.The service meteocur. Bad experience with the food. I ordered a smoothie which was really good. Not a large selection of coffee or food. They don't have a selection for kids so I got a plain croissant and peanut butter for my grandson and chocolate milk. For myself the smoothie a latte and their ham and cheese croissant. My friend got a latte and a chicken salad croissant. We were under the impression that our food would be brought to us (our mistake). We waited and waited for over 20 mins. Nothing so I went up and asked where our orders were. They had been sitting on the counter for a long time plus half our order was missing. The girls said someone must have taken it. So she made my grandson order and lattes were remade.They apologized and made new lattes for us plus they messed up the order. You would think if they saw the food sitting there they would have brought it out. Tip of the iceberg was when I looked in my bag that was the ham and cheese croissant it looked like the size of a small cookie and smashed. I took it up to them and said there didn't even look like there was anything in the croissant. The girl behind the counter said "Oh there is stuff in there you just can't see it" That's a laugh. So I got a refund. My friend also said the chicken salad was just chicken and mayo bland taste. I almost laughed when she asked if I wanted another. No thanks so I got a refund and left hungryMy hobby is going to small towns looking for the best coffee houses in Ohio. Unfortunately I was very disappointed in this one. I may give it one more chance since I love Granville and the atmosphere however the quality of the food and service need attention. For now the jury is still out.

This River Road Coffee House is the flagship location, opened since April 2003. It is located in an old Victorian house layout, with various rooms of different tables and seating options. They also have a patio for when the weather is nice. This place is pretty popular, so seating can fill up quickly. The coffee is sourced from One Line Coffee. I got a dark roast drip coffee and it was pretty good. They also have quite a good selection of food ranging from pastries to breakfast burritos. Wifi is accessible by inquiring at the counter, and they hand you a code good for 120 minutes of access. Parking is a breeze, with several spots lining the exterior.

The mocha was amazing! Everything behind the counter looked clean. The building was nice and quiet. Good experience. Local favorite!

Definition of Ma and Pa coffee shop with simple breakfast breakfast options and fresh pastries. But the coffee options are by far the best, recommend getting the Frozen Black Forrest (blackberry and dark chocolate)! Outdoor patio and indoor seating, great place to meet friends, or for an impromptu business meeting. A local classic.
