Kape Coffee

Kape is BACKK!!! They are now having weekly hours pop up hours W-F 8-2pm at Wolf's Ridge Taproom. It's such a beautiful space with lots of wood, natural light, and comfy seats. This week they were offering the yuja tonic (very refreshing, citrusy summery ade drink), matcha latte (great if you're a milky matcha lover), and their black sesame latte, which is my personal fav. Black sesame has always been a must have for me but it's hard to find a good black sesame latte here in the U.S., let alone Columbus, so I'm so so grateful that Kape has perfected this drink. It's nutty but also smooth with foam on top that just seals the deal. I also love how it's not too sweet so it brings out the natural flavor of the black sesame beautifully. As for parking, there's a paid lot right next to the taproom. You can come for coffee, study and chat, and even stay to get beer after 159 E Hickory St. Columbus, OH 43215

Finally able to catch on the opening hours of Kape Coffee. They reside inside Leisure Club and operate only on Saturday as of now. They recently starting on some pop up appearance at The Branch, which is a new co-working space by East Market. Glad to catch them during their pop up weekend at The Branch. The space itself is super open and filled with sunlight from all the windows. Other than the espresso and pull over menu, their specialty items creation are Asian inspired. The Black Sesame Latte is on my list, but unfortunately they are not on rotation the day I went. I went with the Leisure Club Mocha and ending up liking it. It is their collab drink with Leisure Club, which have a unique twist on the mocha with espresso, nutmeg, cinnamon, and hints of cayenne pepper. Definitely my first time having coffee that are spiced up and I do like that little kick on a mocha.Their coffee is sourced locally from Espresso Air. Kape currently running a special to offer compliment drink to the customers. You can support via their virtual tip jars. I would need to go back and try their Black Sesame Latte someday.

Kape is such a unique idea and though currently a pop up experience, they are looking for permanent space! The staff is super friendly and helpful to navigate the menu. The Ube Dalgona Latte is a monthly special due to the attention taken to make it with respect to the products from the Philippines. It's a purple dream and adding a shot of espresso is excellent. The pop up at the Leisure Club was a quiet, pleasant experience that I'd be happy to repeat on the reg. Highly recommend going during the pop up phase as all drinks are complimentary!

I'm a fiend when it comes to good coffee. There's just something so incredibly comforting about a nice warm cup of delicious brew that makes a day so much better. And Kape Coffee knows how to do just that. Their black sesame latte is the perfect nutty and creamy concoction that deserves to grace everyone's palates.

Wow I never thought this kind of amazing thing can happen in Columbus!!! The staff is extremely friendly and the place is so nice! Also I love how the drinks are free as it really brings that community feel that a lot of other coffee shops don't! And the drinks are quality and great!!! I hope they have more of these coffee shops in Columbus and beyond!! I think they can change the world!!!

This was where I fell in love with ube lattes! I've been to 2 of their pop ups, service was great.

Delicious coffee, excellent service, very nice people. Coffee brings unique tastes on traditional pours. Why is the latte more than $5? Because it is WORTH IT!
