Kittie's Cakes

We stopped here about 11am on a Sunday morning. There is only street parking, but we had no problem finding a spot. The seating area is tight and limited so would be a problem if they were busy. However, we sat at the bar and it was perfect. My husband and I both ordered the salted maple latte in mugs. These were delicious and I loved the big mugs! I got the egg and cheese sandwich on a jalapeño cheddar biscuit with pimento cheese. My sandwich was warm and soft. The pimento cheese was the secret ingredient that pulled the flavors together! My husband got the cinnamon roll. He is a cinnamon roll lover and said Kittie's was fantastic!! He preferred it over fox in the snow which we a had a few weeks ago! This was a great way to start our Sunday! We will be back and next time we will check out the book store connected to the cafe!

Little did I know that when I walked in for a cortada, a cornetto, and a change of shoes, my outlook towards the service industry of the Columbus region would change for a lifetime. In town for a conference, when my brain went foggy. I was tired of listening to a regurgitation of the "up and comers" in the pharmaceutical industry. I knew I needed one thing. An extra 125 mg of caffeine. I stumbled upon Kittie's Cakes. I grew distracted when the new Colleen Hoover novel that was placed on the display case of the bookstore caught my eye, but hey? I digress.I returned to the line to place my order. But then I remembered, my shoes were driving me up the wall so I walked back out to my vehicle and swapped out my fresh pair of Cheetah Brooks for a comfy Clark's sandal. Suddenly, I heard a commotion, looked towards the street and saw an elder gentlemen berating a tow truck driver who pulled into the lot. Look, I get it. Tow truck drivers have a negative reputation. But that is no reason to excuse someone's hostility towards a hardworking citizen. I politely shouted "let that man exist!" I walked back into the store, picked up my excellent coffee and left. When I returned to my hotel room, I could not find my left cheetah Brooks cruiser anywhere. I called everyone I knew. Everyone other than my local cleric rejected my calls. My cleric offered no advice but was polite as ever. Suddenly, it came to me in the night. I woke up and thought "could it be?...did I?..... I couldn't have....I LEFT THE SHOE IN KITTIE'S COFFEE!"I contacted them and sure enough, Steve, a salt of the Earth man confirmed they had my shoe. Steve went out of his way to mail me my shoe. 11/10 would return. Steve is a standup gentlemen and an even better roaster. This establishment deserves to be frequented.

Stopped into Kittie's Cakes for the first time after seeing they were voted best cinnamon roll in Columbus... obviously had to try it! Turns out, it was delicious and reasonably priced at ~$5. The place is cute and attached to a book store, but only 4 small tables and not exactly the best vibe for studying. They seemed to be sold out of most of their pastries even before noon (they were out of cinnamon rolls when we got there but thankfully more were delivered). I would come back to try their biscuits and unique coffee syrups soon!

Kitties is my favorite coffee shop in Columbus. The staff are always friendly and the coffee is always hot. The pastries are top notch and the location is perfect. I love that I can grab a coffee and walk right into a bookstore, the ambiance is a whole vibe.

Coffee was okay. I got a latte and felt the flavor was off, a bit watered down or something. Limited seating and no wifi as well.

. Will start out with disclosing: I know the owners for years due to our sons rowing in regattas together and really like them, so my review might be unintentionally biased. However, I will try my hardest to not be biased. Kitties is located across the street from the library. Ironically, it shares building frontage with a bookstore. when the bookstore is open, there is an interior door between the two businesses that rolls open allowing customers to explore both business spaces. Its pretty special! It really works aestetically.They use "one line" coffee here (the name of roasting company) and thats local- so Yay! The machine they used to do the coffee here is considered one of the industry's best, so your coffee beans will have the right pull giving it great flavor and consistancy --its amazing at pulling the right amount for a balanced cup of coffee. They have some in-house syrups, which I have found really good. Plus, they try to have creative specials so always ask whats new!I got a spicy honey latte made with oat milk. Quite enjoyable. What I like about this location vs their 2 other kitties locations is its dining areas. It has a unique curved bench with tables. Its just fun. It also has a covered side patio that has been cold weather-ized. So there is plenty of spots to hang out here. Kitties also make cakes... I have never had one but you can order those. I have had their tiny cupcakes. Many, many times! Omg. Yum. Tons of flavors. They make three types of biscuits and sell egg sandwiches made from them. The egg has a lot of rise and looks delicious (have not eaten it) but its made with the jalapeno biscuit.... And I have had that (almost every time I come in!!!). the jalapeño biscuit I usually purchase and eat at home. No joke, it's my favorite of all time favorite biscuit in Columbus. Im obsessed with it. If your still reading... give them a try. (And get the biscuit) I think you will like them!!!!.

Overall I was underwhelmed. The Carmel latte I ordered was bitter and not sweet at all. I had to doctor it up with sugar and creamer, even after adding sugar and cream, it still was quite bitter. The cinnamon roll scone I had was amazing. It was flaky, with just the right amount of cinnamon and sugar. The coffee shop itself is very small l, maybe seating for 6-8 people, and got quite crowded as people were waiting for their coffee. Also, there are no signs telling you which end of the counter you should order at people were constantly confused about where to start. The two girls behind the counter were friendly, but young and somewhat disorganized. It was an ok place to waste an hour while waiting to dine at the governor's mansion, but i wouldn't be a regular if I lived in town.

Stopped here on the coffee trail for a coffee and a matcha. We ordered both online but they didn't finish making them until we arrived to make sure there were hot, loved that! Both were delicious!

I should have given Kitties five stars my first time around. I don't know what I was thinking!I keep coming back every few weeks to enjoy a sweet treat and coffee at their outdoor dining area. Each time I come, I order a different baked good, and this most recent time was the cinnamon scone. It tasted just like a cinnamon poptart in the best way! And I do keep ordering the Nashville Hoodie for my drink; it's just that good.The service is always great. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Keep it up!

The best coffee spot in downtown Columbus delivers unbeatable value, top-quality ingredients, and exceptional service all in one place.
