Kid K loves boba, and this was handy. They have a lot more than boba, if you want something like lemonade, coffee, a milkshake, etc. She got a brown sugar boba and liked it. I saw several things I wanted, but stuck with the root beer float, my favorite. It was different: came in a "can" (plastic with a metal top.) Peeled off the aluminum opening, and it exploded on the table and my shirt. Not cool. The soft-serve was on top, but overly filled and under pressure. Once I cleaned up, it was good-not-great. But plenty fine on a hot day. Prices are decent for what it is. Service is minimal: order at the kiosk. A pleasant place to hang out- small, but a nice variety of seating options. read more

Such a cute little spot! I went with a group of local TikTok creators and we had such a good time. I tried the strawberry crunch drink along with a plain grilled cheese, and both were really good. The drink was flavorful and refreshing, and the grilled cheese was simple but perfectly done. The atmosphere was cozy, quaint, and welcoming -- definitely the kind of place you can sit, relax, and catch up with friends. The staff was super friendly, patient, and made the experience even better. Prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality and portion sizes. One of my favorite things was how many different flavors and options they had to choose from. There's definitely something for everyone. I'll absolutely be back to try more from the menu! read more

Candy Cloud - Strawberry Crunch - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I was nearby and finally got a chance to try Candy Cloud. They have a couple of small bites available, matcha, lemonade, lattes, soft serve, and some other drink items. I tried the ube matcha. It was beautiful (before I mixed it together) and delicious. They have kiosks to order from, the order came out pretty quickly. There are tables to sit and sip your drink at inside. read more

I love the modern look of this location. It makes my introvert heart so happy to be able to order on a kiosk lol I got a frozen matcha latte and a grilled cheese. The grilled cheese had like a hint of garlic flavor which made it a little more fun. I enjoyed it. The frozen matcha latte melted kinda fast but was still very good and gave me a good caffeine kick. read more

Pretty cool place...tucked away in a mini side strip mall. So I guess could be considered a hidden gem. Love me some bobs. This place has some really good selection to choose from or create your own. Let me just say, the sweet heat melt I got was fantastic. I need to try the coffee next time. Looking forward to that. Lots of options there as well. Even if it is a self serve order....my items were made super fast. Definitely a must try. read more

My daughter was very excited to try this place. The line was pretty long when we arrived and it took about 30 minutes to get through the line to order and receive our order. Our group ordered both layered soft serve and coffee drinks. When received, one layered ice cream had the incorrect pop top (the one for drinks) on top. That one had to be remade completely. My Better Than Anything had zero caramel in it. Beyond that, the whole thing was nothing special taste wise. Inside was pretty unkept with so many people coming in and out. No one cleaning tables or anything. read more

Came here for an event and it was a great experience! The staff handled the rush really well and our drinks were delicious! I got the strawberry lemonade with strawberry boba and my husband got the butterfly lavender lemonade with blue raspberry boba. We got both drinks iced and it was so refreshing. We will definitely be back! read more

Candy Cloud - Butterfly lavender lemonade and strawberry lemonade - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I came here with my friends and girl time. It was amazing. Good little fun experience, very chain restaurant corporate vibes. I do appreciate and authentic coffee shop vibe. You order off a screen, so you do not see employees until they bring your item(s) to the pickup counter. I got the PB&J latte with whole milk. They have enough options I would get something else next time. BUT it was pretty amazing, they did good. I was pleasantly surprised! Thanks for your hard work, open up more locations! Such a big menu with so many options and customizations. There are donut holes, pretzel bites and sandwiches too. I actually bought their seasonal elote grilled cheese. Good, but not great. I would try another food item next time. It was not stretchy cheese at all. Very hard and bland. I could've made that at home. Great flavor though! Perfect location! Clean, very bright inside. They have refreshers, energy drinks, matchas, lemonades, ice creams, lattes, coffees and shaken espressos. Yummy, yummy! read more

Cute little Boba spot close to OSU area. I saw this place on an IG reel and decided to grab a few drinks to go for me and my fam. Upon entering, there was a line 10 people deep. I noticed two self ordering touch screens at the counter and the large lit up menu on the side wall. There were a few tables and chairs and a couple long bench seatings. I decided on the Americano because I'm currently on a no sugar diet. I ordered the Golden Hour Chai for my son and the Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappe for my husband. The touchpad was a a bit confusing to use and the inpatient people in line staring did not help the situation. I kept trying to add the drinks to cart but they wouldn't add because you have to select what milk you want. If you don't, it goes back to the main menu and you have to scroll through everything to find your item again. My Americano was the only thing in my cart after I thought I ordered 3 drinks. I also got so flustered I forgot to add Boba to my son's Chai. The total was under $20 for 3 drinks so not bad. After I ordered I sat on the bench and waited for a good 20 minutes. This place was so busy. It was a nice sunny day and everyone was out and about. The girl finally called my number and apologized for the wait which made it all better. My Americano was ok, I probably should have got hot but my husband and son loved their drinks. The container is clear with their logo but the coolest part that sets them aside from other Boba places is the pull tab lid. It's like opening a can of pop. It keeps the drinks from spilling. I would love to come back and get a sweet drink next time. I would probably order for pick up as well to skip the line. read more

Candy Cloud Columbus did not disappoint! I been seeing the TikTok's and wanted to see what the hype was about. The line was long but worth the wait! Great drinks, at great prices with cute cups! My favorite was the Blueberry Matcha with Oatmilk! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZThJBv9s6/ read more

Had to see all the hype was about. Arrived early no line. Ordered the brown sugar oat milk iced with cold foam. It was very good. Having it made in its own can was neat. Shaking it up and popping the top. Son had a breakfast sandwich. He said it was Awesome. Right as we got our order about 15 people showed up. Guess we beat the crowd. Will be back if we're in the area. read more

So delicious! This was a place I saw on TikTok so of course we had to try it! The store it's self is small, but the drinks are fabulous! So many different options to choose from! We went on a Sunday only about an hour after they opened. They were quite busy already. You order at a kiosk and they put your drinks on the pick up counter. Overall a cute modern place to get some fantastic drinks. These are nonalcoholic drinks also. read more

Candy Cloud - Candy cloud drinks: cotton candy, chocolate covered strawberry, and strawberry with boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

My biggest criticism: I got an iced latte with caramel and it was very sweet; the coffee flavor of it almost tasted artificial, like a McDonald's or a Biscuitville trying to do specialty coffee. The drinks are also slightly expensive, closer to what you would expect from an independent, local café. Positives: Lots of drink options, fast and very kind service from the employees making drinks (give them a raise!!), obviously very cool cups, and a neat atmosphere. Glad we came. read more

I went to Candy Cloud for the grand opening celebration today! I've been waiting for MONTHS for this. I downloaded the app a few days ago just so I could browse the menu, and it gave me a lot of points to start! I was one of the first 50 customers, so I was also gifted a $10 coupon to use within the next month. The vibes are truly amazing inside, with beautiful lighting and signage. There are two kiosks to order from and then they call your name when your order is ready. I ordered four drinks! I got a large cinnamon roll latte with whole milk, a large Dr. Ube (a Dr Pepper vanilla dirty soda with ube), a large Purple Potion with whole milk and espresso (an ube latte), and a large shaken espresso with whole milk and brown sugar cinnamon drizzle. The drinks are insanely customizable, with different milks, syrups, foams, drizzles, and add ons. They even have a protein milk you can get! Their soft serve creations look amazing as well. Others ordered their food options which include sandwiches, soft pretzels, and cake pops. It all smelled really good. The drinks were absolutely amazing! I was really surprised with how much I liked the Dr. Ube drink. I will definitely be back! read more

yum yum yum!! coffee, soft serve, refreshments, small bites and more! definitely a cute yummy place to treat yourself & the kids! go check it out, tell them brieatsz sent you!! read more

The line for this place was ridiculous. I have been to other candy cloud locations and was looking forward to getting a drink here, however there were at least 20 people in line in front of us... don't waste your time waiting (the drinks are good but not that good). We also tried ordering ahead but neither Apple Pay or credit card would process. Disappointing. read more

TT made my entire Candy Cloud experience amazing! Her customer service was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and truly above and beyond. She's a rare talent and deserves recognition, whether that's a promotion or pay that matches the incredible value she brings. Great ambiance too! I'll definitely be back because of her! read more

This was a great experience. I don't care what others say about the wait time, or superficial computer issues, this place is phenomenal!The workers were very nice and on task. They work at a great pace considering, how busy they can be! We went in a first time, just to try it... and then we ended up going back in and getting 4 more. The wait is 10000% worth it. Brought a few drinks with us on our trip to Michigan, and they stayed cold and fresh!!Hanna was so sweet as well. If candy cloud has 100 customers, I AM ONE OF THEM. If candy cloud has 1 customer, IT IS ME. If candy cloud has no customers, I HAVE DIED. read more

I personally like my coffee sweet, and the golden hour breve is so delicious. My main complaint with many others is the wait time. The people who work the front are SO lovely however everyone working in the back looks like they're moving through molasses. I almost wanted to throw on an apron and start busting out orders myself. But the vibe in there is cute! If you're looking to come here maybe wait till the hype dies down a bit. Also leave your cash at home since it's card only read more

I went to Candy cloud during their grand opening, and I had a great experience! They not only sell specialty drinks, but they also have food items as well which I liked. I ordered their blueberry Matcha, which was so good and I feel like it's not that commonly sold for a Matcha flavor as I typically only see strawberry . And for food, I went with there, jalapeño popper sandwich without bacon, and it was so good and honestly just hit the spot! I also went with their cinnamon sugar pretzel bites. I will definitely be coming back. There's a few other drinks I would like to try, and I love the opportunity to be able to create my! read more

Horrible place. Waited over an hour and a half for drinks that you could have got at 10 other places in Columbus. Our order was completely wrong. The food was cold and terrible. Overpriced and NOT worth the hype. They then put a sign on the door saying "closed for now". Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. read more

This place was horrible. Waited 40 mins to even get my drink. Then when I got my drink it tasted like expired milk and was sour and bitter. DO NOT GO HERE read more

I got a custom latte and a custom blueberry sour lemonade. The lemonade was awesome and the latte was great. Personally I could have chosen a better combo of flavors but I have a good hunch their specialties are awesome. Service was just the workers in the back. Order on an iPad and wait. My only gripe with this place was the seating was uncomfortable. High top chairs you slide out of because they are straight metal and a long awkward couch were the only options. Half the high tops were unavailable due to people not knowing where to form the line. Overall a solid experience for good drinks of any kind! read more

Ordered a latte and they genuinely gave me sweetened milk, I understand it's busy, but 8 dollars for this is kinda sad.

Hanna was amazing, so super helpful. Our gift card wouldn't work correctly. She went out of her way to help us and to make sure we were happy! Thank you Hannah! read more

I loved the food here! Still new so busy but it came out pretty fast I got the blue coconut lemonade blended it was amazing and so cute!

This place is popping! The atmosphere is fun and the drinks are different than what you can get at neighboring shops. Not as pricey as I thought it would be, but still costs a pretty penny. Our experience lasted an hour and 20, this being just waiting to order and waiting to get our order. New place that needs to work out some kinks but overall a good coffee joint! read more

miracle was a delight to meet today. She is very knowledgeable and, helpful when it comes to the drink menu . If she's not already a manager you need to consider being one. read more

I think this café kinda suffers from its own success. I've really enjoyed the coffee every time I've come, but every single time the order has taken at the very least 20 minutes. It's always busy, but I can't help but wonder if that's because of the food/drinks or because the service is so slow that people stack up (probably a bit of both). It's a very cute place and I would come so much more often if it didn't take so long for a single drink. If they get the timing figured out, this could truly be a 5 star place, but right now the wait makes it almost not worth it. read more
