    Avocado toast
    Lexi P.

    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!

    Came one morning, and order the Canadian coffee and an acai bowl! Simple and good ! Nice environment.

    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!

    Sammie and iced coffee - Avocado toast topped with microgreens and garnishes is served on a white plate, accompanied by a latte in a cup with a flower logo, on a speckled table.

    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.

    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.

    See all

    Spotted one of their locations when I was in LA and I knew there was one in Columbus so I had to…read morecome by. Had no idea initially that it was a chain. When my friend and I came in, it was late morning on a Saturday. Not busy yet but later on more folks that looked like college students came in. The menu doesn't explain much and the syrup and milk options are not on the back wall menu but by the ordering counter. Some syrups aren't available with hot drinks only iced. I tried the pistachio latte with oat milk while my friend tried the chai. As another Yelper said, the drinks are sweet and pretty milky. Not much espresso flavor. I'd come back to try the iced drinks though. They had a lot of fruity flavors. Otherwise, the space is nice. Lots of seating and comfortable couches. They had a little hanger thing by the couches to hang purses and hold long umbrellas. Even the bathrooms were clean and smelled good (they used plug-ins). And the staff were nice. Napkins weren't sitting out so I asked for some. Parking is easy. It shares the same parking lot as El Vaquero and Rusty Bucket. Probably a busy area in the evenings.

    Tried their veggies croissant and it was so yummy . I went super early I was only one inside so I…read moreddnt really have a bad experience:). People were nice and got my order right on time as I ordered thru their new app. The new app ddnt tell me it's ready but I went it and the time i put and told them my name and it was ready right away . :)

    We're at the start of a road trip and, as is our tradition, we always stop at Family Room Coffee &…read moreBake Shop! Stopped by this morning for a hot mocha made with almond milk and their breakfast sandwich on an English muffin with chicken sausage, and it was outstanding. The place was pretty packed even at midmorning on a weekday, which is always a good sign. The sandwich came hot right off the grill, fresh, flavorful, and really hit the spot for breakfast. The English muffin had a nice toasted finish, the egg was cooked just right, and the chicken sausage gave it a great savory bite. The hot mocha was smooth, rich, and comforting, the perfect match for a cool morning. Friendly atmosphere, great food, and a cozy neighborhood coffee shop feel. Definitely an eggcellent way to start the day. Family Room Coffee & Bake Shop 545 S Otterbein Ave, Westerville, OH 43081 Located on the east edge of the Walmart shopping center, on Otterbein Avenue just north of Schrock Road.

I went with the White Choco Strawberry Iced Latte and Chicken Sausage and Egg English Muffin. Huge win offering chicken sausage. Lots of seating which reminded me of a large living room. The cups have a "Hello My Name Is" where they write your drink order. Very cute. My drink tasted great! The sandwich was okay since the English muffin was a bit hard. Def coming back to try more! Tip: It might be hard to find. It's on the backside of the Walmart so you will go all the way around and pass to get to Family Room.
