    Grilled Chicken Pesto and Grilled Club and Flavored Lattes (Reece's latte)

    This place was a great option in Columbus! The staff was very nice and there was a good amount of outdoor seating. The sandwich bread was rock hard but aside from that it was very good.

    Cute!!!!

    So happy to have finally tried Fountain City Coffee. I love the cozy, artsy vibe in here. Feels very coffee shop. I'd been going to Iron Bank so much being new to this area I knew Fountain was around the corner but I hadn't stopped in yet. My son and I came in Tuesday afternoon . Great service! Very yummy iced oat latte with caramel. If I'm being honest, this will probably be my new home coffee spot when in town.

    Sunday afternoon along the River Walk and yesterday it was a cool day with misty rain. Found this coffee house and needed a cup of Joe to warm the soul. You place your order and in a few minutes your name is called. The coffee was fresh and hot. Excellent flavor and best of all no grounds in the bottom of the cup. The shop sells some cookies and pastries. Did not try but they looked appealing. You share a seating area with others since this coffee house shares space with other vendors. The dining area was on the loud side with several screens on and the volume on each tries to get your attention Restrooms are shared and they were very clean. Once you finish, you dispose of your trash.

    Winter favorite - Merry Christmas Malfoy

    I had the seasonal one named Merry Christmas Malfoy (matcha, mint, vanilla). As a fan of coffee, I asked them to add 1 Expresso shot, which was very sweet at first but it's much better after the ice melted. I loved it because it's sweet and strong. Everything was blended together but I could still differentiate the taste of matcha, coffee, and mint (not so much for vanilla, which I don't mind at all). My husband got a brownie and it was so good melting in my mouth. The team was young, fun, and professional. Thank you for making a good sweet drink if you read this. I will definitely try others on the menu when I come back to the area.

    You can't go wrong here if you are craving a delicious cold or hot coffee. They have so many different options to try it's amazing and their menu is ever changing so that makes it even more exciting. They also have a great baking goods that are super fresh and baked every day. From savory to sweet whatever it is that you're craving they will have it. I mean they offer a pup cups it doesn't get any better than that!!

    delicious. The man assisting at the front was sweet and they have a diverse selection of flavors to choose from. While in town I tried the chocolate banana latte and A coconut macadamia nut latte, both amazing. Highly recommend this place its so cute!

    This coffee shop was very nice and had a "homy" feel to it. Visiting from out of town this was our first time and we got an iced snickers latte and a Frodo (specialty drink - if you like cortados think slightly bigger and cold). Both were very good. Different options for seating include sofas, chairs and tables - great for all sorts of gathering or study. The Baristas were also very friendly and informative on the menu.

    This place is downtown Columbus and a cute little coffee shop. It is a bit spendy for a coffee but it was delicious. They have some fun, flavorful drinks. Service was charismatic and kind.

    I've been here many times and it's a cool little spot. The coffee is good but the options they have of flavored coffees are all very similar. Not too bad on pricing, especially for the area. Some employees are more polite than others but that's anywhere you go. I will say the artwork décor definitely lends a hand to the art school nearby.

    What a gem! Very cool that it's a renovated concept that still pays homage to its history here.

That said, it really is more than that- they have a full lunch menu, pastry case, coffee/tea, smoothies, wine/beer, and even a fridge of to-go desserts. Lots of seating inside and out, and free wifi. I sat and worked for a couple hours! This will definitely be on the constant rotation whenever I come to town. Today I ordered a cappucino with oat milk and a build your breakfast sandwich on sourdough with bacon, egg, and white cheddar. It was perfectly toasted and tasted great! Not super loaded/filling, but honestly it was super affordable so could double up on proteins easily for a bigger meal.

Even with their extremely efficient systems and team, if it is busy, expect a 20 min or more wait. Inside is very cute, keeping history with the bank vaults and little nooks, and charm with their eclectic chandeliers. I do not know if they have an ADA accessible restroom. The coffee is really tasty and slurpable (had hot and iced drinks, never got a frozen drink though) and if you get a specialty flavored drink, are not overly sweet. On one visit, got the Mediterranean quiche, which is gluten free (all their quiches are crustless!) and it was honestly one of the best quiches I've ever had, even before developing a gluten allergy. Extremely cheesy and flavorful. Very cute, fun, high energy cafe.
