Stauf’s Coffee

Does coffee flow through your bloodstream?

Address: 627 South 3rd Street, Columbus, OH 43206 (German Village)

Phone: (614) 221-1563

Website: staufs.com

If you are anything like us and enjoy a nice cup of coffee in the morning, or all day -- no judgments here, as we enjoy coffee a lot -- you need to check out Stauf’s. From the moment you walk in, you’ll be crashing into the aroma of gourmet coffee. From being considered the best coffee shop in the Columbus area, there is no denying that fact, as there is much that Stauf’s does, you will be wondering where they have been hiding all this time.

The best part about Stauf’s is their monthly coffee subscription, where you will get the chance to try out the newest blends. Many of them come straight from the ground, to a grinder, then a roaster, and then gently dumped into your cup. Being Columbus’ first area micro roaster, they will always guarantee to put a smile on your face, and will encourage you to close your eyes, bring the cup to your nose, and breathe in the aroma of freshly served coffee. We highly recommend checking their shop as well as their Facebook page, where they will list the coffee of the day, how to make different kinds of coffee, and to keep you updated on all things coffee.

My favorite coffee shop in Columbus! I've been to every location, but you can't quite beat the cute little German village shop. I have been here quite a few times and have never tried anything I haven't liked, which is a good sign since I tend to be particular about flavor. - Yelp Review.

Be your own unique self, especially with a cup of coffee.

(All locations are closed due to a high percentage of COVID-19 cases in the Columbus area until further notice). Look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now. With an adorable name, comes delicious pastries and drinks, such as coffee. This small coffee shop, also located in two other neighborhoods in the Columbus area, serves up some of the best pastries and coffee around the Columbus area. Everything that the cafe offers is reasonably priced as well as reasonably delicious. As we await for the cafe to reopen, they have also listed recipes online as well so you can enjoy a taste of The Fox in The Snow in your home.

I absolutely adore this place. I've been to both locations and they are equally fabulous. I love their pastries and their coffee selection. The environment is perfect for working on your laptop or grabbing a coffee with a friend. I also get their New Orleans coffee while I'm there and walk out with a warm coffee to go. - Yelp Review.

Winans Chocolates + Coffees

If you are at a loss for a gift, try coffee.

Website: winanschocolatesandcoffees.com

With nineteen locations scattered throughout Ohio, and one location in Iowa, it’s no surprise that Winan’s is considerably the most popular coffee shop in either place. It is also viewed as the most appropriate gift to give to the coffee lover in your life. The best parts of Winan’s are their homemade treats, and their gourmet coffee. Everything is made and packaged fresh. Now it’s time for you to go out and try it for yourself. In the case you choose not to go out, they also have an online shop. Also, don’t worry, they have you covered on any last minute gift shopping, whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, or any other holiday. Coffee is the perfect gift. 

Come for the chocolate. Stay for their coffee. Plenty of both to satisfy your sweet tooth and caffeine fix. Drink categories: hot, over ice, espresso, frozen, kids, and seasonal. Chocolates: boxes, single, bags. Smells wonderful in here. Nice mingle of freshly brewed coffee and chocolates. - Yelp Review.

The best foods and coffee pairings come Pistacia Vera because of their long history of finding the best macaron’s to share with friends, while also combing through thousands of cookie recipes to serve to you. Pistacia Vera is ready to serve you not only well, but with elegance.

Such good pastries! Visiting Hubby's fam for the week and he brought us in one morning. Kind of a tight spot with the four of us but def a spot for adults to enjoy a chat and some coffee and bomb ass sweets! My fav was the ham n cheese croissant. My son is a macaroon lover and was well approved. - Yelp Review.

German Village Coffee Shop

Coffee and pancakes equals happiness.

Address: 193 Thurman Avenue, Columbus, OH 43206

Phone: (614) 443-8900

Website: gvcoffeeshop.com

(Closed due to COVID-19). Servicing you since 1981, this popular local shindig is the perfect spot for a small date, hang out with friends, or even a nice place to get away and enjoy some pancakes and coffee. This diner has not changed one bit, and as it maintains its authentic vintage look, it still looks to serve its usual diner-style food to every generation that walks through their doors.

Do you remember the TV sitcom Cheers? Going into the German Village Coffee Shop is like sitting at the bar if you were in Cheers. Where else in the world can you go to such a small Diner that is always always always packed, which says more than words can ever explain, and have this ultimate amazing experience? - Yelp Review.

Just Love Coffee Cafe

Coffee equals loves, and love equals coffee.

Address: 330 High Street, Columbus, OH 43215

Phone: (614) 670-4536

Website: justlovecoffeecafe.com

If the taste of coffee is always on the tip of your tongue, you better make a run to Just Love Coffee Cafe. Considered one of the best around, you won’t be fooled over the authentic taste that is brewed right in front of you. The cafe’s goal is to bring a smile to every coffee drinker's face, and to promote care and patience over the growth of coffee beans and the process to get them roasted and brewed.

I stayed at a nearby hotel while in Columbus for work and went to Just Love Coffee three mornings (including their very first day of business.). Excellent well made lattes and very good food … A welcome change from hotel food. - Yelp Review

Coffee houses are always a good way to bring communities together.

A laid-back cafe that looks to empower and bring all communities and people together of all ages. As spaces and communities change, Community Grounds looks to expand their space to hold special events and many others to help not only spread awareness of their coffee, but also bringing communities together. Not only is this the kind of cafe you’re dreaming of, but it also serves the coffee that you dream of. Ranging from pour over to The Phil, a double espresso drink with two-ounces of steamed milk, Community Grounds is ready to serve you. 

Yum! Cute little place. Easy parking. Quaint interior. Creative lattes and coffee-based drinks. Friendly staff. Hit the marshmallow mocha. Seasonal for March but if it was year round I would not be mad about it! - Google Review.

Two Dollar Radio Headquarters

Don't forget to enjoy a cup of coffee with your new book.

Address: 1124 Parsons Avenue Columbus, OH 43206

Website: twodollarradiohq.com

Yes, you heard that right, you crazy coffee drinkers! A bookstore that serves the best coffee, and even beats out the other coffeeshop slash bookstores anywhere else. Aside from being the best coffee a bookstore has ever served, you can request this coffee as a house, latte (hot or iced), add flavoring, and so many other ways to make your perfect brew. Another great thing about this business, is that their food and coffee is vegan, and can be enjoyed by anyone.

The food was better than anticipated. As a traditional eater living with a vegan I occasionally try role reversal in our dining selections. Everything is vegan! #1 burrito was really tasty as was the potato and leek soup. I was really surprised by the biscuit with "sausage" gravy. It was so good! We'll be back for sure. - Google review

Native Cold Pressed

Vegan coffee is the next best thing.

Address: 214 Thurman Avenue, Columbus, OH

If you are looking for a type of coffee that is mixed with other things, such as healthier ingredients, you may want to check out Native Cold Pressed. Their mission is to bring a healthier variety of popular drinks, but also make them taste good. Do not let the names scare you off, one of the best drinks we recommend trying is the golden lion latte - made with turmeric, ginger, lion’s mane, cinnamon, coconut sugar, and a few other ingredients - or the blue peppermint latte - this one has blue majik algae, ashwagandha, coconut sugar, and a few other ingredients. Whether you are looking to step out of your comfort zone, or looking for a healthier alternative, consider Native Cold Press. 

We came to this place for a meeting. my friend recommended this place. Well, it was a win. The crew were extremely nice and we had an excellent feeling. The food was just great. We had a great time and we shall absolutely come back again. Keep it up. - Google Review
