50 Best Cafes near Upper Arlington

“The food here is the best. You can choose healthy options or not so healthy options. You will not be disappointed.“

“Such an awesome place I just discovered today. Great service and delicious offerings I’ll be back!“

“My favorite place to decompress after work. I will take my book, have the greatest hot chocolate or matcha ever and be at peace. Staff is very kind and gentle, going on the contrary of a lot of places that have people that intimidate you while you are ordering for reasons like bad humor or just bad training. Here staff you look you in the eye, explain things if you are not very familiar and just be kind. I love the place. Several tables and sofas to seat and just enjoy, to work or study. Not to mention parking is pretty good! This is my to go place when I need time for myself.“

“Absolutely amazing food. Delicious and fresh. Definitely recommend.“

“Drove all the way from Dayton and will do it again! Absolutely the best food I’ve ever had! It’s a must if you’re in the area ♥️“

“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!“

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

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!“

“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 🔥!“

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

“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.“

“Yo vine con mis amigos hace unos días y pedí unos birria tacos. La comida fue tan rica que dejé mi tarjeta como propina!! Jajaj no pero la dejé sin querer y me la guardaron. Por eso le quiero dedicar un saludo especial a Rosa que fue nuestra mesera. Gracias. 🫶🏻“

“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!“

“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 :)“

“Food is phenomenal. Friendly atmosphere.“

“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“

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

“The best coffee, baked goods, açaí bowls, and atmosphere around! Love their Garden latte, Chai latte, lemon tumeric scones, and açaí. Can’t wait to try all of the menu items. The charm of the historic building is maintained and updated to feel like a fun and joyful place you will want to linger in. We will be regulars! 💛🌼“

“Great food, great service. Only wish that the students waiting on the tables could accept tips directly to them. They do a great job and deserve the tips. I think anything tipped is given back to the school. Which is great, but the kids also deserve some extra change in their pocket in my opinion.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Consider asking for the carmel sauce on the side of the Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast. It was just a little too sweet for me. Fantastic, friendly service and we could see the food was prepared by a kitchen that cooks with pride and pays attention to the details. Very reasonable pricing!“

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

“The best latte and matcha ever! I went two days in a row and tried the mango matcha first! with the salted honey latte! and then the salted honey latte again and the salted honey matcha! all my favorite the salted honey combo is great in both matcha and latte options. quality is amazing“

“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!“

“New Grounds is a family-friendly place. Great Coffee, A private meeting room, friendly staff, local ownership“

“I love catching brunch here with a friend. The banana bread is one of my all time favorites and while I usually get a mango lassi today I got a cherry lime drink as well as a Mediterranean style breakfast sandwich from their summer menu. The sandwich was very good but a little difficult to hold and eat so I ended up using a fork and knife. It’s quite difficult to find an open spot on the weekend during peak hours and can get quite noisy as well so I prefer to go during the weekday.“

“I was so sad to see this beautiful and well decorated place with millions of different menu items so empty. We stopped by for a drink and werent able to try any food, but their cake and pastries looked fresh. We as a community need to support small local businesses, actually their menu looks like fresh air in our city full of chain restaurants. It is a place come and try.“

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

“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.“

“I had the Matcha Ube drink, and it was delicious! The flavors were well balanced, and I really enjoyed it. The employees were all friendly, helpful, and polite. A special shout-out to Kenneth, who happily customized my drink just the way I requested—less sweet and with more ube. He was very accommodating, and the drink turned out perfect. Excellent customer service and a great experience overall. I’ll definitely be coming back!
And bring some friends!“

“We were staying across the street and ventured over to first watch for breakfast on a Sunday morning. The place is busy but we were seated immediately. The waitress was super friendly. Brought out coffee and water right away. The menu is amazing. So many food choices. The food came out promptly and was piping hot. Super delicious too! Definitely a great spot for breakfast.“

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

“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, French toast, & bacon were awesome. Service was awesome! But, dude who checked me out could use some manners...didn't even thank me, ask me to come back, or have a good day. Rude.“

“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!“

“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.“

“So good!!! And good for you too😊“

“One of my favorite coffee spots in Columbus. Love their iced lattes -- the espresso has a very good, nutty flavor and they have delicious syrups made in house. I didn't like the seasonal cookie milk latte because it was very sweet (maybe just too sweet for me) and had a rich flavor that I didn't enjoy. I highly recommend getting an iced latte with half syrup if you're anything like me. Try the honey or the ube syrup!

Also, its a small place but if you go before or after peak times (or during the week) you've got a good chance of snagging one of the tables!“

“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”.“

“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.“

“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!! 🖖🏼✝️🍽🇺🇲“
