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 ♥️“

“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!“

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

“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 loooooove this location- the employees care a lot about their craft (or at least fake it well lol), and are always spot on with recommendations as well as actually making the drinks. I don’t think I’ve been disappointed with a single one of my visits- even today when they were out of the tea I wanted, what I got still satisfied the same itch! Can’t go wrong with anything here really!“

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

“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!“

“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 🔥!“

“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!“

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

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

“Best tacos in Westerville! Chips and salsa are excellent! Service is friendly and fast! You can taste the difference when the food is made with love!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Don’t be fooled by this just being a bakery/coffee shop. Has great brunch food. I had the “Sausage Egg and Cheese” biscuit, which was flavorful and a good portion. Peanut butter and chocolate chip protein balls are great. Nice vibe, nice people. Updated from previous review on 2026-04-02“

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

“My girlfriend and I were really impressed with the matcha at Matcha Me. I got the honey sea salt matcha latte and she got the maple matcha latte. Both of them were tasty and well balanced with the added flavors and the matcha itself.

It is a cozy place with limited seating. The staff were very friendly and chatting with us while they made orders. As we found out talking with some of the workers a new location will be opening in a couple of months in the Short North. We will definitely be coming back and will check out the new location once it opens.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is a solid option for getting good matcha in Columbus! They have lots of fun and creative flavors to try, never disappoint! I would just say the drinks are on the sweeter side so be careful if you actually want to taste the matcha in the drinks. Limited seating since it’s a pop up in a restaurant.“

“I have always loved upper Arlington nutrition! As soon as you open the door you feel welcomed and appreciated to be there. Plus all the products are incredible. I don’t go anywhere else to get my teas. I am absolutely obsessed. It will definitely be worth your while to come here. You feel feel energized and refreshed!“

“I ordered this place off of Uber eats today just to try it because I was craving toast and wanted some coffee. Let me tell you that when I received my order and opened the boxes everything looked just like the pictures. Baffled I was. Befuddled. That is a first for me but it moat certainly be the last. Not to mention how delicious it all was. Y'all will be seeing much more of me in the future.“

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

“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.“

“Had pho and banh mi here. Excellent pho! Broth was delicious. They had culantro with the vegetables which was a new one for me (no that's not cilantro) but it was delicious. Fried wontons were hot and delicious and the banh mis were incredible, primarily the bread. Bread was phenomenally crisp and crunchy and the fillings were standard but still good. I've had similar fillings at other Vietnamese restaurants but the bread here is by far the best I've ever had. And you can order the bread by itself either in store or to go!“

“Drove a school bus full of students to the museum and stopped in for brunch. A well curated experience. The atmosphere in the cafe belongs in the museum. Simple, delicious, and food presentation as I would expect in a cultural setting.

It’s obvious by the clientele in the cafe it’s a gem.“

“Amazing food and service.“

“My office had lunch catered by Winn Winn and it was absolutely incredible! The delivery was right on time and perfectly organized. Every dish was fresh, beautifully prepared, and you could truly taste the high-quality ingredients in every bite. Our whole team was impressed. We will definitely be ordering again!“

“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.“

“So good!!! And good for you too😊“

“I had the Tidier-Tom sandwich, which was like a sloppy joe, and it had a yummy slaw mix and pickle slices on top. The mixed fruit was delicious, as was the Butterscotch Oatmeal cookie (which was HUGE, and I got too full, so I save the rest for later). So glad I tried this place!“

“I started high street nutrition in May. I have two young children and couldn't do much without feeling tired or out of breathe. I am so glad I came across this amazing group. Phil and em are always there whenever you need any advice I can't thank them both enough for the support they give me.The coaches and members are all so welcoming and friendly. I feel like have been going years. I started nutrition for a healthy and fitter lifestyle and I am definitely going the right way. So happy with my results so far 🙌 😊♥️“

“I tried two dishes from this restaurant. One was beef steak on pasta and the other was Muufo, a kind of corn bread served with beef or chicken steak and a spinach spread. I think this is the only restaurant in the city that serves Muufo. It was delicious and the beef steak was even better! I've eaten at over 20 Somalian restaurants in Columbus and this was probably my favorite. Really nice people working there, too, who gave me mango juice for free.“

“Our server Julie was fantastic. She made good conversation and had good recommendations. The lemon ricotta pancakes were fluffy and delicious. Also had the morning meditation which is a good juice blend for ginger-lovers. Will definitely come back when in town again.“

“Brian catered my daughter’s bridal shower and he was outstanding to work with!! We had a last minute venue change and he stepped up to help even more. He responded quickly to messages and delivered exactly what we were hoping for. He arrived on time for the shower and had everything ready. He is know for his bread and his rolls and cinnamon rolls were incredible and I don’t know what he did to create an egg casserole for our brunch but it was the talk of the day!!! I recommend Brian’s catering for every event!! He went above and beyond to help me and all of the food was top notch!“
