Their seasonal drinks are pretty neat; that's what actually caught my eye when searching for local cafes. My fiancé is an espresso lover, so we had to go once I told him about the Black Widow shaken espresso. I ordered an iced matcha latte. Because I opted for the iced version, it had to be a 16oz size. Not a bad thing, but keep that in mind if you want a smaller option. The cafe was pretty busy when we went, hi but it took maybe 5-10 minutes to get our drinks. I really enjoyed mine! Sometimes I want a simple, plain matcha and it was just that - in a good way. Lol. Not overly sweet. The outside seating area is nice, especially on Saturdays when you can enjoy your drinks while the farmers market takes place. I had no idea they had a dedicated space for singers to perform. I imagine it gets quite busy in the summer evenings! Prices were fair and I'd return to try out their food items.

Personally, my main reason for returning is their Asiago bagel; it's the best I've had! During my first visit I found the service to fall a bit flat with the cashier seeming a bit annoyed but I decided to give them another go and I'm glad I did. My second visit was much better and the staff seemed happy to serve customers. Seating is a bit limited indoors but they have a closed off outdoor seating area that I believe is heated. There are a decent amount of outlets and extension cords around so it's a good place to study. They also have a few board games at the front you can borrow to play with your friends. Whether for a study date, grabbing a cup with a friend, or looking for a cozy vibe global gallery is a great spot!

MATCHA DRINKS -- The price is fair as Matcha will be expensive at most places. I ordered the Einspanner Matcha Latte ($7.50) which has vanilla cream top, matcha, and milk. By the way, Einspanner is a German word that means vanilla or vanilla cream. I choose oat milk in my drink which is an extra 0.75 cents. So, I paid a little over $8 with tax for my drink. Tipping is optional. The Einspanner Matcha Latte is great - it isn't too sweet at all. I was worried that the drink would be too sweet but it was perfect especially with ice on a warm day. MATCHA TYPES -- There are various types of Matcha to choose from. They offer traditional Matcha with just water ($5.50), a classic Strawberry Matcha Latte ($7.50), a Lavender Matcha Latte ($7.50), regular Matcha latte ($7.00) which is Matcha with milk, Matcha Lemonade ($6.75), etc. The quality of their ceremonial grade matcha is good and it is sourced straight from Japan. They have 2 different cup sizes that you can choose from and both are the same price. I choose the bigger cup which is 8oz, I think. COFFEE -- Besides Matcha, they also offer a few coffee drinks for purchase such as a salted honey latte, a cinnamon maple latte, etc SERVICE -- Customer service was quick and efficient. There were 3 ladies working behind the counter and they worked fast. AMBIANCE -- Simple layout yet cute. The cafe itself is very small so it is more of a grab and go cafe. There are only 2 tables with 2 chairs on each table inside. That didn't bother me because I wasn't planning to sit in as I took my drink to go with my friend. It was a beautiful day so we took a walk outside towards OSU's campus with our drinks in hand. They sell some merchandise with a 'Matcha Me' logo on them (sweaters and hats). Overall, this is a nice cafe and I will be glad to come back whenever I visit C-bus again. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 50/250 total reviews in 2026 - 891 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 26 April 2026

Been coming to Cup O' Joe for years. It's always been a busy hub of local activity. So busy that they renovated and expanded. That guy knows what I'm going to say next. Alas. It's still pretty cool. Not sure what the penguin thing is about, but I'll roll with it. The service is walk-up counter with a single line - sorta. Not sure what karmic payback I'm enduring, but it was apparently the first time the customer in front of me had ever ordered coffee. Speaking about the coffee, it is really good. One nice thing about a place that does this type of volume is that there is always a freshly brewed cup on the way. The food is just so so. I got the lemon poppyseed muffin (got to explain why I didn't pass a certain test somehow). The ambiance is good. I always pickup a copy of the Clintonville Spotlight to see what the latest elementary school drama is about. Hint, tetherball ropes are fraying. Where will ever find $5 in our budget? Got to run.

There are cozy and moody areas for sitting up front as well as a smaller back room that is well lit for studying. Only 4 stars because it closes at 2pm. It would be preferable if they were available as a local option to have a late lunch or afternoon coffee meeting.

YE Gurl Says: A Mid-Afternoon Find at Restoration Roastery…read more February 24th, around 1:30 PM, I set out for a quick downtown coffee run -- or rather, a coffee walk -- and ended up discovering Restoration Roastery. This place feels like a labor of love. From what I could see that afternoon, it's run by a couple who clearly put intention into the space and were both present during my visit. The result is a medium-sized, intimate coffee bistro with a lot of character. Drapery softens different seating areas, some sections are roped off to create cozy pockets, and the walls feature photos of Columbus from decades past -- a quiet reminder of the downtown that existed before today's skyline. There's also a small stage with instruments, which I later learned hosts jam sessions now and will likely see more regular entertainment going forward. Shelves hold games and books, along with coffee-enthusiast tools and wares for sale. It's the kind of place that invites you to linger. Ironically, I arrived without realizing I had walked in just minutes before closing. Still, the space had a steady rhythm -- a few meetings happening, some City Hall and courthouse folks stopping in -- which tells me this spot probably gets a good flow of weekday foot traffic. My order: * Organic lavender oat milk latte * Sticky bun (heated) The sticky bun was excellent -- warm, soft, and not overwhelmingly sweet like some of the ones at Fox in the Snow. The latte started out lovely, but toward the bottom I noticed a stronger bitterness from the organic lavender syrup. Not a deal breaker, just a note to myself: I might try the non-organic syrup next time to see if the flavor balances differently. Pricing for both items was right in line with other Columbus coffee shops. The owners and staff were friendly, and the historical photos and building details were genuinely interesting. The building itself has some history worth exploring -- it once housed the Center for Christian Virtue, among other uses. If you're someone who enjoys learning about the stories behind Columbus spaces, it's worth paying attention to. One small practical note: the website currently doesn't list a menu, which might be helpful for first-time visitors planning their stop. My only moment of mild anxiety came from realizing I had ordered "for here" about fifteen minutes before closing while planning to take a call -- timing just didn't work out. That was on me, not the vibe of the place. YE Gurl says: Restoration Roastery feels like one of those downtown spots that grows into its identity over time -- part café, part gathering space, part quiet nod to Columbus history. If you're nearby, wander in and see if it's your kind of coffee corner. Sometimes the best finds happen when you're just out for a walk.
