Specifically came here for their February special, the cherry mocha! It did not disappoint! Colin's functions out of the Daily Growler in UA. Lots of parking available in the plaza. The staff was so kind, worked quickly and were easy to chat with. I enjoy their large menu with specialty lattes, and the staff said you can always ask for old specials if you really loved something. I also like the option to text your order in on your way. Definitely a cute spot and I'll be returning soon!

I love this place. Perfect when I want to escape campus and be surrounded by friendly people. The staff there are so kind and always making conversation which I appreciate. I always order the Golden Bear latte and it's delicious. There is also plenty of seats and outlets to sit and do work. Highly recommend!

Great news Colin's Coffee fans, the shop reopened inside of the Upper Arlington Daily Growler. The shop serves coffee until 12 PM each day. The new location lacks some of the character of the Golden Bear shop, but makes up for it with a bigger interior and more seating. There is plenty of parking in the new location. I ordered the Buckeye Madness Mocha. The drink was quickly prepared. I opted for white mocha in place of the traditional mocha. The white chocolate flavor was great.I am excited Colin's is back in business and I will be a frequent customer.

Went back in this week, got hot and fresh coffee, first time in a while. I think fact that coffee brewing is in the back somewhere at this splice in beer joint location that....while they do the best they can....they make ton of coffee early, keep it kind of warm in banquet hall type storage pump things.....so mid AM visit means lukewarm coffee at best. Upgrading to 3 stars as 1 was too harsh...but slow service and not hot coffee due to long walk to back for them to make/get fresh coffee is crazy.

The store is closing. The window art makes that abundantly clear. The entire dated shopping center with a confusing parking layout and fading lines on it's worn out blacktop is soon to be demolished. The interior also feels quite dated. It seems they have been expecting to close for a while now. The staff was excellent. The coffee and chai options were fine, but it isn't a place to go out of your way to visit unless there is a nostalgic reason to at this point.

After the destruction of the Golden Bear Center Colin's has found a home inside another UA staple, The Daily Growler. The combination of great coffee, friendly staff, and community feeling throughout makes for a fantastic independent coffee shop. Yet another near causality of big money development survives to see another day and serve a neighborhood lacking in coffee shops and cafes.

Delicious coffee at a reasonable price and easy order ahead available! I've been getting the honey lavender iced latte and absolutely loving it. Coffee is made by Colin himself and he's so nice and welcoming. Coffee is only to go at the moment, but can't wait for the inside to open up because it looks so cozy.

Yummy food and coffee with good prices! Why go to Starbucks when you can go here? This place was amazing, and the service was super friendly.
