Mouthwatering Coffee & Tea in Columbus

Basic Biscuits Kindness & Coffee

★★★★★ 4.6 (85) • $

"Biscuits are trending in Columbus. Whether it's a stand alone business like this one or a restaurant known for having good ones, I've been seeing them and eating them everywhere. This Woman-owned bakery offers biscuits of all shapes and sizes. Ranging from full on breakfast sandwiches to mini biscuits, all are packed with flavor and a lot have a fun twist. The lemon lavender was my favorite and I really enjoyed the cheddar jalapeno. I opted to get 12 little ones and even froze a few to last longer. Once thawed out they were as yummy as the day I picked them up.The space itself is a breath of fresh air. The theme is obviously bees and kindness, which can be seen in every nook and cranny of the bakery. They offer other locally made items and even have Stauf's coffee available. They have plenty of parking with a lot right next door and some street parking out front. It's hard to miss their neon biscuit sign so keep your eyes peeled for that once you get close.Support local. Support Women-owned businesses, and most of all, spread kindness... while chowing down on biscuits, of course!"

Stela's Ice Cream Shoppe and Coffee House

★★★★★ 4.9 (24) • $

"Wonderful personalized service. Each order was done with care and time to perfection. The look & feel reminds one of an old time ice cream parlor. The smell will set your tastebuds watering for that sweet treat. And Stela's does Not disappoint."

Biggby Coffee

★★★★☆ 3.5 (17)

"I've been here twice and both times have had a good experience. I got the cold brew with cinnamon and honey. I got hubs the butter bear. It's not an everyday coffee (too rich & too many calories) but it's a nice treat. The employees have been super friendly and the line goes pretty quickly."

Schokko Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (22)

"Wonderful place to have lunch during our museum outing. They validated parking (~$7 value). The kid menu is definitely affordable and can probably feed an adult if you order an additional appetizer. I just kept wanting to eat more pumpkin curry soup.....every bite was like, I want another bite. It was very savory and flavorful. The burger on a pretzel bun was cooked just right (thank you for not pressing the meat). The beet fried chips were light and although completely made out of beets, just barely tasted like beets. Sweet potato fries were excellent also."

Pelican Coffee House

★★★★☆ 4.3 (24) • $

"Such a fun place! Great owner, FANTASTIC soup. Straight forward sandwiches. Grateful to find such a nice little stop."

DGX

★★★★☆ 3.5 (11)

"The is Dollar General . . . X. What is X here? The number ten? Ten as in a dime--you know--hour glass curves, Baywatch blonde hair flowing in beech breeze, bathing suit bikini, this place is SI swimsuit addition hot compared to the store next door GD? Is it for my generation, the grown cohort of latchkey key kids of the 70s/80s thinned out by the birth control pills and smushed between larger populations of boomers and millennials? No its the latter generation the DG wishes to charm with this rare letter. Is it to X-out the Dollar General in some awkward fake, merchandising attempt at self-depreciation to lessen the ire produced by moving into a gentrified neighborhood? This, yeah this. For DG moving to High Street front of the Cbus Commons downtown was rife with faux controversy and lazy internet angst. I say that with a bit of cognitive dissonance; for all my distaste for pretentious virtue signaling there is loads of justification for fighting DG's move here; their stores are infamous for sucking poor neighborhoods dry, for toxic workplaces, and for disregarding cleanliness. Would X mark the spot for a change to align with the taste of the downtown gentrified millennials?I have to say yes, yes it does,For this is the sharpest, spaceful aislest ( just pretend it's a word--gees) Dollar General store this side of Mercury. Wow, the place is perfectly front-forward, meaning every single product is at the shelf edge and parallel to its neighbor. Perfectly clean, organized, and aligned. There isn't loads of cheap crap filling the aisles here like there is in the ghetto, or small town Ohio. Oh no, this place is actually easily walked through.Items not found in your usual DG in Include produce ( at higher prices than other places,) ready to eat wraps, and craft beers. If DG can do it here than there is no excuse for there other stores to be a dumpster fire, mixed with a sewage geyser, run by zombies that yaven't slept in eons. No excuse. I am no snob, but still, everyone deserve a half decent place to shop. If 5hey can do it here in the high rent section then they can do it everywhere. No excuses."

Lil Donut Factory

★★★★★ 4.5 (154) • $

"Love this lil place! This is the second time I've had donuts delivered to my workplace and was very pleased by the quality and variety. My favorite thing about this place is that when ordering, there is an option for peanut allergy and seeing as my coworker is super allergic, it gave me peace of mind that I could a share with her safely."

Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea - Pointe at Polaris

★★★★☆ 4.3 (98) • $$

"Loved, loved the coffee. I am not a coffee drinker usually, but it was cold and I thought that I would get a cup of joe. I looked at the reviews and saw that this particular coffee shop had high ratings. I was not disappointed. The customer service is friendly, fast, and approachable. The server was able to explain the menu, give recommendations and explained their rewards program. This will be my stop ever time I am in the area."

The Blonde Robin

★★★★★ 4.6 (10) • $$

"Very good coffee and a muffin. The girls working were very friendly and helpful. As a bonus they have a couple friendly dogs to pet while you wait! Would definitely stop by next time I'm in the area."

Provisions Bakery & Deli

★★★★☆ 4.1 (55)

"Love the bright, cheery space with a selection of fresh, creative dishes. Great coffee too. Would love to see a few more vegan menu options, but we had a great lunch here!"

Racha Tea Boba and Desserts

★★★★★ 4.7 (26)

"Big fan, highly recommend. I've been here several times, although every time I pull up I wonder aloud to my partner whether they're open. They always are!Great place for boba tea. I love taro milk tea and theirs is homemade, not from a powdered mix. Not too much ice, not too sweet, and great boba.But then you wander into the menu of banh mi, bao buns, cream puffs, deep fried Thai bananas, and an ever-evolving assortment of sweet and savory bites that you might not find anywhere else. Be sure to walk past the register and see what they have on hand that day.Slowly but surely we're working our way through the menu. The bánh mì đặc biệt (bbq pork, headcheese, pork bologna, and pâté) is legit. The chicken is quite nice. The pork meatballs are outstanding.It's a short trek to get out there, but I'm always looking forward to our next trip to enjoy some more of the same but also try out a few new things.Oh, and the staff are always fantastic! Especially when we have questions about foods we're not familiar with."

"Fantastic coffee and a great vibe. Will definitely be going back and recommending to friends who are in the area!"

Route 22 Cafe

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

"This place was the best part of our Salt Fork trip, hands down. Stopped in on a whim on a Saturday morning and were greeted by a welcoming shop selling Amish goods, cute decor, and delicious food. We ordered an iced blackberry lavender latte and a hot coconut milk cappuccino and both were excellent. My husband got a sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on a croissant and said it was great too. It was huge and very reasonably priced! The staff working behind the counter were very friendly too. After we placed our order I walked over and got a few dry goods from the attached shop as well - all great. Thank you, Route 22 Cafe!"

Pick’em Up Joe

"Hands down the best cinnamon roll in Ohio. Great customer service, as well. Thanks for always bringing your A game in a super small town."

Cha Sha & Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.1 (31)

"If a restaurant could be a hug, that is what Cha Sha is!! Cha Sha is warm and cozy, yet bright and lively! We ate here on a a rainy Columbus evening; the various chai options warmed both our bellies and our souls. My partner opted for the masala chai--always a classic! And I chose to try something new (to me): the Kashmiri chai. I was rewarded with a warm, nutty, and delicately floral milk tea with a BEAUTIFUL pink color.For dinner we shared the samosas chaat (very healthy portion!!!) and the chicken boti roll. I don't know what else to explain for this other than you need it, go get it now. Chat had plenty of crispy samosa, sweet tamarind and mint chutney, mango, and chickpeas. The Boti roll has great spiced chicken on a buttery flaky paratha.For dessert we got the Chikoo milkshake-lightly sweet but so delicious and creamy; the Gulab jamun sundae (I will always alway get this when we come); and the Ras malai (a great portion for the price!).Staff are so friendly! They check in on you frequently and are always keeping the tables clean, and you can really tell they care.This is our new fav spot!"

Oasis Coffee Shop Hocking Hills

★★★★☆ 4.2 (51) • $

"Such great coffee and it's cutely decorated! Worth a stop especially when your options are limited."

Station

★★★★★ 4.7 (40) • $$

"New place in Granville! Always nice.We stopped in for a quick bite, which became quicker and more of a bite than we had anticipated. We walked up to the counter to order, and you could see they were a bit busy. The lady at the counter was kind enough to let us know that any items from the kitchen would be a 30 minute wait. We instead opted for a cheddar sausage jalapeño muffin type thing, plus an iced mocha and an iced lavender honey latte.The sausage biscuit was super tasty! And the coffees were actually some of the best, most well-balanced iced coffees I have had in a long time, and I have had a lot of iced coffees from a lot of different places.Hopefully they can get their kitchen up to speed with the demand they are having from customers! No stars taken because the staff was still nice and they are still pretty new. Looking forward to trying more from the kitchen."

Mission Coffee

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Mission! Welcome back to the neighborhood. Oh how I've missed you so! The moment I heard you were back in your old spot I beelined it straight there. To see the garage doors open made my day. The setup is pretty much the same but a bit updated and refreshed. The exposed brick, live plants, small elevated stage area in the back, and open barista station really set the tone. The staff was great, the service was quick, and my iced latte was a dream. When they left their spot here a few years ago, I naturally started going to other coffee shops in the area but I have no doubt that Mission will return to my number one, go-to spot, to grab a pick me up. Please don't leave us again!"

Shan-E-Punjab Dhaba

★★★★★ 4.5 (17)

"Best Indian food -- amazing Tandoori chicken, samosas, saag, and chicken tikka masala! The tandoori chicken is tender & so flavorful, best we've ever had."

Hilliard Station Baking

★★★★★ 4.7 (35)

"So went in a week or so ago to order cupcakes for my daughter's Birthday and got the regulars chocolate supreme, vanilla, and red velvet. The six teenagers who devoured them could not make up their minds on which was best. Each of them took a picture of the Sticker and I'm pretty sure they will be visiting very soon. In short, this is The Spot for cupcakes and their cinnamon rolls are some of the best around. Stop in soon!"

Town's End Coffee

★★★★☆ 3.9 (16)

"This location is NOT closed.Order through the front window and they put it outside under the umbrella when it's ready.Very cute outside seating available.Coffees were some of the best I've had anywhere!!Very friendly staff!"

Two Tigers

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"It's a tight space. Somehow through masterful maneuvering the stroller in front of me in line was able to get back out. The couple manning the other side of the coffee bar were practicing a very well choreographed dance to make the most of the space available and somehow not collide. The oat milk iced latte was heavenly. Cool and creamy mixture of simple ingredients. The hot chocolate had good flavor and was the perfect temperature. Service was quite quick with affordable offerings. I really enjoyed the experience."

Jolly Pirate Donuts

★★★★☆ 3.8 (31) • $

"I was in the area and decided to stop in and get some doughnuts for the family. The service was friendly and the variety of doughnuts was good. I highly recommend getting a blueberry fritter. I'd never had one before and very much enjoyed."

Good Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.9 (11)

"I had the most amazing gluten free dishes here. I was there near closing so they didn't have any cheddar biscuits left so they made them fresh for me! They were so fluffy and flavorful. I couldn't tell they were gluten free. The blueberry scone was delicious. My husband had the chicken pita and had to make sure the owner know it was the best he ever had ( and he isn't gluten free)."

Court Street Coffee

★★★★☆ 3.9 (22) • $

"My go to coffee spot in Athens, OH, a court street mocha never disappoints... the barista today, Kelsey, was so sweet and recommended an amazing combination of green tea with pomegranate and raspberry. So refreshing on a day like today when you start sweating the minute you walk out the door. There is tons of seating, a restroom, and it's always clean! Always a pleasure to be back on the bricks and having this coffee shop available."

The Kee

★★★★☆ 3.9 (26) • $$

"This place is huge. It's a cool space with lots of different areas to engage in. The restaurant has a Miami art decco vibe with a very nicely designed and styled bar. Our servers were very attentive and nice. The food was also good. We had the chicken sandwich that had a great flavor. It was slightly spicy, which I enjoyed. The seasoned fries were super good and crunchy. There are areas with games which cost money but other areas with free corn hole. Would be interested to see if it gets more full since it is such a large space."

Roseland Coffee Bar

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"Such a cute little spot not far from the school. Great for the early morning pick me up or sporting events to stay caffeinated and toasty. They have some excellent brews concoctions that I've never experienced at other shops. I had a Hawaiian type of coffee with coconut band it was delicious!! If I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely drop in for another."

The Caffeine Element

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (4) • $$

"Great coffee that was fresh even in the late afternoon. Much better than I expected for campus coffee. Way better than the lukewarm, terrible coffee I got at Au Bon Pain."

Mini Ethiopia Coffee House

★★★★★ 5 (8)

"Such an unassuming restaurant that looks like it is just a converted neighbourhood house. Its a small dining space but it was pretty empty when I came on a Friday night.There are so many dishes I want to try here and plan to return asap but I did end up getting the vegetable platter as well as the beef stew tibs. There may have been a bit of miscommunication when ordering but it all worked out. Our server was very kind and asked to see if we were familiar with how to eat Ethiopian food (we were) so we just started digging in. Everything was great and well portioned. The veggies were all so flavorful and the stew hot the spot on a colder late summer night. It was everything I wanted.Theres also plenty of coffee and breakfast options that I'm hoping to get a chance to try out. Highly recommend this spot for anyone who already likes Ethiopian food or wanting to try something new."

"Cute coffee shop only 5 minutes off the turnpike. Lots of options anyone could find somethin they like here. They have frappes and pastry's in addition to coffee."

Tea Baggers

★★★★☆ 4.3 (24) • $$

"Cheesecake is delicious-- creamy, fresh, not too sweet. I had the chocolate chip. Each day is a new flavor I think. This isn't a place for hipsters. If you go in thinking about tea houses in bigger cities, you will be sorely disappointed. You can, however, order a cute little pot of tea for one."

Mr Bean Coffee and Gelato

★★★★★ 4.7 (32)

"This is the cutest coffee shop in Powell. It has such a warm and welcoming vibe. The staff is friendly and coffee is delicious. It's a great place to meet with friends and quiet enough to work."
