    What a lovely experience at the cutest cafe. Everything was so clean and the staff were so kind. I got the vanilla latte with oat milk (SO good) and my husband got one of their specialty pour overs. We also tried the egg sandwich and the almond pistachio loaf -- both amazing. I would certainly buy all of it again.

    As a big fan of Westerville's coffee scene, I was a bit apprehensive of a new place coming in, but now I welcome it into my repertoire. The more the merrier! The food is SOOOOOOO good; the coffee is simple, but delicious; the atmosphere is clean and beautiful. I even appreciated the soft music in the background. If you are looking for a nice morning spot, 10/10 recommend!

    WE LOVE BEGIN! LOCATION- It's downtown Westerville which is the cutest little strip. When we were visiting we happened to have an air bNb within walking distance to Begin, and thank the good Lord. It was so fun to walk down each morning and start our day here. Thankfully we were only in town Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings (they are only open WED-SAT). VIBE & DECOR- Top notch, it's so cute in there and you can tell that all the details matter. It's beautiful and super cozy. and of course smells divine. STAFF- Everyone is having a blast, and look genuinely happy to be there and happy to serve you! It's a bright spot in your morning for sure! COFFEE- Excellent says my coffee roasting coffee snob husband! ESPRESSO drinks- YESSSSS! Makes mouth happy! I tried just a regular vanilla latte two mornings, and tried Kayla's special drink one morning which had cinnamon in it, loved. All so good! FOOD- I am so sad I didn't get a chocolate chip cookie I MEAN JUST LOOK AT THEM. OMG. But I did get the pistachio loaf and the egg sandwich. HEAVENLY. YOU NEED TO GO & TRY ALL THE THINGS! I MEAN IT. Absolutely divine. Highly recommend. All the stars!

    It's delicious. Service is decent. Space is limited. High quality coffee. I reccomend giving this place a try!!! When I went it was a bit crowded. But it's new. And that's good for business so I got over that aspect. Hours limited so check before you go. My biggest hope is they stay open. This is the 3rd coffee shop in this small area and Java is the GOAT. I hope the 3 can sustain and continue to thrive.

    Vanilla latte

    I've been meaning to come to this area of Westerville! It's so pretty and I just love how it looks in the summer. I can't imagine how the area will look come fall time. I got a vanilla latte, and it was quite good. The interior is stunning and well designed. The food is made fresh and the staff were incredibly kind. Their strawberry matcha looks delicious so I'll be back to hang out soon.

    The interior of this cafe is so cute with lots of great seating options indoors and outdoors. The coffee was pretty good and i enjoyed it, however their matcha latte was honestly not great. The color of the matcha was promising however it tasted like nothing, so i was quite disappointed. Would love to try their food in the future.

    First time here and always wanted to come so Baby didn't want me to cook breakfast so he treated me…read moreout and what a great way to try a new place So even though it was a Saturday morning, it was very busy but we were seated quickly, and our waitress was very friendly and sweet. She told us the special for the day and there was also a special on the cinnamon toast, crunch pancakes and she told us also about the menu. She was very informative and kind. So we ordered the kids big breakfast and Babè got the eggs breakfast that came with a side of pancakes. Well, we got our pancakes. The pancakes had a distinctive taste that we were taking back by that we necessarily did not like. The bacon was thick cut and cooked to perfection. That was the best part of our breakfast. Babè loved his eggs and he said his coffee was very delicious. He said he will come back for the eggs and coffee for sure. For it to be very busy it was not loud and we were able to get in and out and under an hour and a half on a busy Saturday morning around 9am! Will we come back yes to try more items on the menu just not the pancakes maybe waffles in the apple juice was delicious too! Go and try them out and tell me what you think. Do you like it? Do you love it while you try it again?

    Service was great! seated right away. Waitress was sweet and kind. It wasn't to loud but busy. I…read morewould have given 5 stars but didn't really care for the pancakes.

Chris is a magician and runs that line like few I've seen before! So impressive! Staff is welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. I've only been twice now but, each time, the food has been fantastic!! Try the PastoSalvi; you won't regret it.

    Unfortunately, this was not a good breakfast experience. I started with a cup of coffee, and it was…read morehonestly one of the worst cups of coffee I've ever had. I ordered the country fried steak and eggs with toast. The meal arrived lukewarm, and it seemed like only the sausage gravy was even moderately warm. I personally prefer my breakfast food served hot, so this was disappointing. My boyfriend ordered scrambled eggs, sausage, and French toast. The eggs were not cooked well done as requested, the sausage was just okay, and the French toast didn't arrive until nearly 20 minutes later. When it finally came out, it was warm at best and quite dry. We understand restaurants can have off days, but overall the food quality and temperature fell short of expectations. Sadly, this isn't a place we would recommend based on our experience.
