The image shows the interior of a cafe with a large black-and-white mural of a cityscape on the wall, featuring historic buildings and spires. There are vintage chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, and a dark green bookshelf filled with books, decorative objects, and framed photos. A mannequin with a dress form stands near a green upholstered booth with a small round wooden table. The space has a cozy, vintage-inspired decor with a mix of modern and antique elements.

I loved it. What a perfect little cafe. Has everything you'd want, literally. The cafe looks stunning with beautiful furniture and lights. The barista was perfect and suggested a drink for me after l told her what I liked. I had Joyce's Java. It was an incredible, life changing coffee. I should've gotten a picture of it, but I was too excited. If you are around the commons area PLEASE go here.

I stopped here looking for some caffeine on a long road trip. I ordered a latte with vanilla and was tempted by the scrumptious looking blueberry muffin, so I added one of those to my order as well. The interior of the cafe is charming and decorated in an over-the-top Parisian style. The woman working as barista was friendly and provided fast service. My latte was good, but I didn't get much vanilla flavor and the coffee tasted a bit a harsh compared with other lattes I've tried. Perhaps they didn't use as much cream as others. It still did the trick and was enjoyable enough. Not sure where their baked goods come from, but the blueberry muffin was absolutely delicious. We sat at a table and ate our treats while sipping our drinks before we left. There were a few people doing work on computers, but otherwise it was pretty slow and mostly empty while we were there on a Friday early afternoon. My wife ordered the Parisian Fog, which I thought was tastier than my latte. She enjoyed it along with her French Vanilla muffin in the Parisian atmosphere. Since I'm not living in Columbus, who knows when I'll be back, but it was a positive experience overall, and I would recommend to anyone looking for coffee in the area.

Cafe de Nook is awesome :) Went here for the first time with my manager to co-work last fall, and I stopped in again at some point this Spring. It's a little bit of a pain to get to this place because it's right downtown located in the lobby of an office building. You're stuck with the paid street parking around the building, but it's still worth it. It's small, quaint, and Parisian-inspired on the inside. The drinks are creative, and their seasonal menu options will likely always be the go-to for me. In the fall I had a hot blue moon latte that I'll never forget, and in the spring I had a rose latte. The rose latte was lovely too! There is a reason that this spot is one of the top coffee spots in the city. Definitely check it out at least once if you haven't been.

Corner of the coffee shop, love the decorations! - The image shows the interior of a coffee shop with a small round wooden table in the foreground, holding a laptop and a plastic cup of iced coffee. The background includes a menu board with chalk writing, customers ordering at the counter, and decorative hanging lights. The shop has dark green cabinetry, shelves with books and jars, and a chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The setting appears cozy and suitable for working or relaxing.

This place is so cute! There's typically a crowd from the business above that comes in at 9am but the baristas are quick! And they don't sacrifice flavor in their espresso or coffees for how quick they are!! I highly recommend their iced lattes with oat milk. If you are celiac or gluten free like me they have a couple of options like kind bars, gf oatmeal cups, and this protein bar (my personal fav)! Their bagels and muffins look great too! Love the atmosphere and definitely a must-go place if you're looking for a great cup of coffee in Columbus!

Café Bon Bon

So amazing! The owner is so kind, the environment so sweet, and the coffee simply phenomenal. I will absolutely be back!

Coffee - A clear plastic cup containing iced coffee with ice cubes and a straw is positioned on a green outdoor table. The background features a large planter with flowers, trees, and a city street scene with buildings and parked cars, indicating an outdoor seating area at a cafe.

This is the cutest little coffee shop. I met the owner Theresa who recommended my butter pecan latte, and it was amazing!!!!!!!

So.cute!!!

I absolutely love this coffee shop. It is oddly located in a big office building, but once you're inside, it feels as if you've traveled to a far outpost of Paris (well, you have). The coffee is delicious (I assume the tea is, too), and there is also a lovely menu and some snacky items. The decor is so cute! There's a mix of table and couch type seating. Also: an outdoor patio for warmer weather! Any time a coffee shop has bookshelves, I'm in alt. The best part is the owner. She's so lovely and really makes this coffee shop a warm, welcoming place.

Naughty and Nice latte - A latte with a cinnamon topping is presented in a ceramic mug with a speckled glaze. The mug is placed on a red tray with the Cafe de Nook logo, in a Parisian-themed cafe setting in Columbus, Ohio. The background is blurred, showing part of the cafe interior and a wooden object.

I adore this place! It's a little tricky to find but it's inside the lobby of a big office building. Once I found it, I had likely the best holiday drink of my life--Naughty and Nice latte w/ oat milk. On a Friday, it's not overly crowded so you can lounge and read or work without feeling claustrophobic. It's so so cute. A must-see! And the owner is a doll. She understands the meaning of customer service. :)

Iced Dirty Chai Latte w/ oat milk - A hand is holding a clear plastic cup filled with iced chai latte with oat milk, featuring a straw. The background shows a mural of a historic European-style building with a bridge, along with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and a cozy cafe interior with tables and chairs.

A small secret spot in downtown that often gets overlooked by passerby's. Located in the 175 building that directly looks onto the Columbus Commons. The overall vibe is very welcoming. Very Parisian, shabby chic decor. The menu is very large with a wide range of drink options. I got an iced dirty chai latte with oat milk which tasted great. I believe there was also a case of baked goods and pastries. There was some indoor seating available and during the warmer months, there is outdoor tables that would look onto the commons The owner was working when I went and she was so sweet and very welcoming. Was willing to make just about anything you asked. Since downtown traffic has been down with the pandemic, parking is fairly easy. There are plenty of on street meters available on 3rd St & High St as well as other surrounding streets and the parking garage for the Columbus Commons. Hours are definitely limited, which can be a bummer, but if you ever decide to make a trip downtown to see the tulips in the spring at the Columbus commons or take a walk around the scioto mile, this is the perfect place to stop before or after for a drink.

This quaint little café is nestled in the back of the 175 on the Park building. It's easily accessed from the Columbus Commons. To eat, there are pre-made deli sandwiches, chips, pastries/donuts/bagels, and snacks like Kind bars. Many different coffees drinks. My favorite is the Café Bon Bon. It has 4 shots of espresso....the perfect afternoon pick-me-up! Although this place is small, most people get their stuff to go or sit outside on nice days, so it usually doesn't feel crowded. The tables have electric outlets or power strips close by so it's a good place to go to and get work done, however the free wi-fi is a bit spotty at times. Bathrooms are located just down the hall in the office building.

The image shows the interior of a cafe with a mix of seating arrangements, including chairs with decorative cushions and a high table with bar stools. Pendant lights hang from the ceiling, illuminating the space. Customers are present, including a woman with a mask at the counter and a man standing nearby. The background features a shelving unit with decorative items and a chalkboard menu. The foreground includes part of a person using a laptop, indicating a workspace environment.

Service: staff is friendly and work quickly…read more Ambiance/Atmosphere: inside is very well decorated with a modern look. The pastries and cakes are displayed beautiful front and center. Food: Almond croissant is delicious. Crispy, flaky, soft interiors with a beautiful almond filling. This is the best almond pastry I've had in Columbus. I'd highly recommend. Maple pecan twist is delicious. Soft with a sweet maple glaze and crunchy pecans to top. This was beautiful down and tasted fantastic. If you're a pecan lover this is for you. I'd highly recommend. Pumpkin morning bun was phenomenal. This is one of the best pumpkin pastries I've ever had. A true pumpkin flavor with a soft buttery pastry. I'd insist on this item. Crème Brûlée Eclair was good. Butter pastry with a crunchy caramel topping and a sweet very well made cream filling. This was my first eclair and I'm not disappointed. I'd recommend. Plum cranberry Almond Tart was delicious. The plums and cranberries were fresh and added a nice freshness to the almond base tart. I'd highly recommend. Chocolate bombe was great. Cold ganache filling with dark chocolate chunks and a beautiful ganache and cocoa powder over the top. I'd recommend for chocolate lovers. Chocolate Caramel Pecan Feuilletine was great. It genuinely tasted like an upscale turtle. If turtles are something you'd enjoy. I'd highly recommend.

Overpriced and overhyped! Visited with a few friends when it was still chilly out and waited in…read moreline to order a mocha, a ham and cheese croissant and a chocolate macaron. I think the issue is with the chocolate they use for the mocha but it had such an odd flavor that I couldn't bring myself to finish it. The croissant was fine and not memorable and I won't say too much on the macaron because I think I just realized I'm not really a macaron person so I can't fairly judge them there. The cafe is itty bitty and there is absolutely no seating inside so it's more of a grab and go situation. There are a few seats outside so hopefully you can snag a seat when the weather is nicer. Overall, I think there are a lot of other good coffee shops in Columbus that I don't see myself going out of my way to come back.
