I love this spot! It's kind of a hidden gem in Clintonville but one of its greatest productions. I came here on a Saturday morning during the Clintonville Farmer's Market so it was busy. People were coming in and out, so most people didn't come and sit and linger in the room on the other side, which has a little section of fair trade items. The line didn't take that long. It's a small space but I'm not sure if they ever get this busy unless the farmers market is going on. I ordered a pumpkin latte with almond milk which was so good. I could taste the pumpkin! I don't order lattes often, so I totally forgot that lattes usually have 3 pumps of a syrup. It was too sweet at the end. But again, my fault for not realizing. I also got a blueberry basil donut hole. It was pretty good! But I would've enjoyed it without so much of the glaze on it. My sister got a donut with pumpkin seeds on top. It was good and really large. Wasn't overly sweet which was nice. I'm giving them 5 stars cuz they're fair trade and that's a selling point. Also, customer service was awesome. Despite how busy they were, the girl at the register was really personable and talkative and patient. There's a lot of space though. The other room was really pretty with garage doors made into windows. So pretty! Also, lots of seating outside which would be awesome on a warm day. read more

Yes, yes, and yes. This place is a gem nestled in the heart of Clintonville. Need a place to meet for coffee? This is the place. Need a place to grab a beer with friends? This is the place. Need somewhere to go and sit outside while you tap away on your laptop? This is the place. Global Gallery checks off all the boxes and then some. There is also a small selection of handmade gifts that they offer as well. read more

Really cute place to study or just hang out. It's totally cute, and has a shaded outdoor area that is comfortable and pretty. A good place to bring a book and relax. The employees are really nice and positive. I love how they support artists. Some stuff is a bit expensive, but a totally fair price for hand made items. read more

Charming find with outdoor seating. Changing latte menu gets me to try new things. Workers always super nice.

I absolutely love it here. I used to come for the hot apple cider, but since they did away with it, I enjoy the iced coffee just as much. There is live music and the cashiers are patient and sweet. The prices are nice and you get more personal service than the Starbucks across the street. read more

First time, the coffee is good. Mom's get free coffee on Mother's Day. Everyone had something different we had an Italian Soda, ice tea, hot chocolate, kombu-tea, lemonade. We were all satisfied. There was a food truck here as well. read more

Very nice atmosphere on the patio in the summer with live music. A very Clintonville experience.

This is my first time at Global Gallery and I do like this place! The atmosphere is very casual. I came here in January so there isn't too much seating in-side. In the warmer weather the patio is usually open, which would be cool to check out. My coffee was good. I ordered a latte with almond milk, which was around $4. I like how they offer mugs (reduce waste, yay!), and how they have a rewards program (10th coffee is free). I plan on coming back here in the future! read more

They had a handful of fun flavors and was trying to decided, threw out a couple combinations and the baristas looked at me hesitantly but the gentleman at the counter gave offered me a little sample cup with the lavender and rose (super nice I normally don't experiment because I don't wanna ruin my coffee) but I ended up loving it. They were super helpful and patient with me. read more

Very confused about these raving reviews... I ordered a latte and received what tasted like a cup of steamed milk with a few drops of espresso. I know that sounds like I'm exaggerating but that's honestly what it looked and tasted like. There's currently no inside seating. There is outdoor seating which could be nice if the weather is good. I also really like the atmosphere. Too bad about the disappointing coffee!! One star for the coffee, but I'll give two stars overall since the barista was nice and tried her best. Maybe it was just bad luck, but there's so many great coffee places around town so I don't think I'll be back. read more

Possibly my favorite coffee spot in Columbus! Great outdoor seating (no indoor seating available right now because of COVID-19. Besides great coffee, they also offer a variety of snackable foods as well as some beer. Love the atmosphere! In addition to selling fair trade coffee, they support other fair trade cooperatives and sell handcrafted souvenirs that you can purchase. They have a ton of information on their website about their mission, which is awesome. A must-go in Clintonville. read more

I am committing a Yelp sin. Nothing too bad, nothing against the TOS, but I am doing an informal no-no. It's one of our prodigal son Mike G's "thou shall nots" listed on his review of Yelp. But since Mike's gone, and we're free at last I am gonna do it; while the cats away the mice will play. I am reviewing a place as I sit in it; a real-time description of the experience as it happens. So, so taboo. Relax, don't click that flag button, I've been here before, a quick stop on my way elsewhere. I won't decide my rating until I go. And will not send until I am home. I forget what this use to be; perhaps a bank with the drive-through out front. Today the portico is used for a patio. It kind of looks like a artist studio, gallery, or antique shop from the sidewalk. Underneath the arching portico are what looks like art pieces, and a cello. My perception must be influenced by the places name, because on closer inspection it is not art but weathered cookout items; they just look like items in a Urbex photo. Ordering is done at the bar right in from the door. The seating is separated by a hallway which features the work of an Etch-a-sketch artist. Never heard of that before, but his work is impressive. There are a few seats up against the windows here, but the space is small. Other than those choices, you can't really order, go get a seat, and return like more open spaces, which could make an awkward wait but the bubbly barista today had my large mocha done fast. Why does it smell like Chicken and Noodles here? Do they serve food? It smells like Chicken and noodles, maybe dumplings, with lots of pepper. I have to check this out. They do! The small menu at the front can be easily missed. It is not Chicken or noodles though, but pad Thai. They also have pot pies and a couple other items. Smells good. I am not having any though. I have plans later. This review will judge only its coffee and atmosphere. I am really digging the space. There's photos on the wall, nature shots, prints floating in glass around rustic wood frames. The walls are mainly white brick. The ceiling are dark grey moldings. There are small windows, three rows of six. . . wait! Those are garage doors. This place wasn't a bank, it was a garage. Now why didn't I notice that coming in? Wow does it smell good. . . Ok, focus now--decor. What else? The furniture is rustic and distressed. I like the black bistro table I am sitting at. Right of me is a craft room with typical craft stuff for sale: there are purse bags, marble looking cut outs of Africa, knits, pottery, some kind of weird looking owl, jewelry, candles and scents, a bike tire for some reason, and a mirror. They have post cards too, the spinner is in front of me. Great photography. I see a black and white of an Indian, a couple French drawings, local photos like the corner of --Olentangy Blvd and Orchard Lane!? What? Now who would send a postcard of . . .oh never mind, I am digressing. Let me spin this. Ok Park of Roses, that makes more sense. The people: it is the young, pro, hipster, and student set. Most are pounding away at their laptops, or in conversation. The seating here is in the community interaction philosophy like Fox in the Snow or Tasi, with long table for multiple parties rather than small separate seating. Where is the restrooms? I need to go. It must be that door in the craft room people keep going in and out if. One second. Yep it is there. Unisex and single use, their restroom is perfectly clean. ( I am not writing this in there FYI) They have reading material for those that need to spend time there. Lots of progressive literature. In fact, Global is filled with progressive papers, signs, and flyers. Not a surprise for a fair trade place. Oh the mocha! I bet people would want to know what I think about this. It came in a big red cup and was very smooth. Maybe too smooth. I am not a coffee expert,so. I don't have the concepts to describe what I like and don't like about a mocha. My best attempt is to say I like the smoothness, but the taste of chocolate is lacking in the middle of the cup. The top taste milky sweet, the middle more like expressos in hot water, the bottom syrupy chocolate. So I'd say it was good but inconstant in uniformity, if that makes any sense. I would order it again. All in all, I love the atmosphere, the aesthetics; the coffee was prety good. read more

Global Gallery is a Clintonville Treasure! Delicious coffee, really affordable prices, friendly service, fresh pastries and local Gluten Free treats. Located right across the street from a Starbucks and ain't affected one bit! There's always a crowd on their outside patio no matter what time of day. My favorite treat: Coconut Milk Cafe Au Lait with stevia and cinnamon. Put Global Gallery on your list if you have stopped in yet! read more

I came up from Cincinnati and hadn't been here in awhile. The interior change was impressive! Last time I was here, it was cool but a bit cluttered. It's been repainted in a soothing grey and white, the furniture is warm woods and painted turquoise, the bathroom has been redone and there's a sense of flow where you can slow down and appreciate the fair trade goods on shelves. The honey bear latte was wonderful...not too sweet and served piping hot in a hand painted mug. They were serving a Salvadoran breakfast as part of an international women's day presentation. Homemade refried beans and tortillas, scrambled eggs, fresh avocado and salsa...yum! The array of desserts is expansive and my biggest challenge was choosing. The presentation was moving and I've such appreciation that a tiny coffee shop in Columbus, Ohio remembers its connection to growers in the wider world not just in marketing but also in the very fiber of how they run this place. read more

I love this place!! It has become one of my regular spots and the dirty chai never disappoints! Would definitely recommend!

It's a nice shop with a great outside patio. The fact that they dedicate their entire business to fair trade practices says something. Good coffee, baristas, and location. The price is right about average for single pour coffee, but their serving size is low. The small is an 8oz, which to me, is just silly. But hey, some people might be into getting just a lil pick me up. Something I do appreciate is when you order a small coffee, they let you know how small it is, in case you weren't aware and wanted to have a bigger cup. I most recently got their pumpkin latte, which is really good. The pumpkin isn't too overpowering and I definitely appreciate that. I will frequent this coffee shop. read more

Friend brought me here for the first time; accessible nice location off high st w/ plenty of parking. Indoor seating & heated outdoor patio with tables. Inside was full so we went to the other outside patio which wasn't heated, but the gate was closed so we just stood outside which was fine. I had a classic americano, and as far as americanos go I thought it was quite good. Solid menu along with baked goods, c.c. scone was delicious. Some cute gifts as well (hats, candles, honey, etc.). Friendly and fast service. A good go-to in Clintonville. read more

Global Gallery is my go to coffee shop in Columbus! The coffee is decent and the outdoor patio is such a nice place to get work done. Their menu updates with speciality drinks seasonally, and I really enjoy their pumpkin spice latte. I think they make many of their own flavorings for their coffee. read more

What a treasure. The coffee was to die for and we love all of their treats from different little bakeries around Columbus. Love the gluten-free options. Thank you! We will definitely be back for sure. Love all of the art and hand made jewelry on the other side of this shop. This place really has some character. Can't wait to go back! read more

This coffee shop is so cute and welcoming. Before you enter the door, there's a patio in the front with lots of seating. There are also strings of lights that add to the ambiance of the place. The area that you order at is quite small but very cute and cozy. There's more seating in the back and it's perfect for small talk or studying (free WiFi too). I got the lavender latte and taste was quite average but I still enjoyed it. I'll definitely be back often to try their other items, especially some are made from scratch. read more

I stopped in while the local farmers market was going on. Despite the crowds, service was very fast. There is a large variety of drinks and local snacks to choose from. You can peruse the artwork around the space and sit inside or take a seat out front on the large covered patio. There are fair trade items for sale in the back room. The atmosphere is very casual and has an artsy and earthy vibe. read more

This is the newest addition to Global Gallery's ever expanding market, and I think it's the best so far. I haven't been to the Easton location, but I assume it's not that cool. So this Global Gallery is half coffee shop/half gallery and store. It's similar to the German Village location in that respect. But it's different because it has a great patio and far more space. In the store you'll find the same interesting arts and crafts from around the world. read more

Visiting from out of state for a few days and stumbled upon this little coffee shop. Pleasant, laid back atmosphere and nice decorative touches. A little pricier than I was expecting but I suppose the quality is worth it. Good food, good coffee, but damn it, I took a star away because the guy completely forgot about my food order. It wasn't very busy at all since I was there for a pretty late lunch. The sausage and gravy pot pie was delicious. Loved the buttery, flaky crust! read more

Want a place to chill? A place that has good vibes and is for the culture? You'll find that at global gallery. A cute little coffee shop located in clintonville where you'll find something new happening each time you go. My 1st visit there was pretty normal, just coffee and chilling on the patio. But the next 2 were more than an ordinary coffee break. 1 stopped by 1 evening to try Bakers Dozen sandwiches. I was delighted by this pop up sandwich stand dishing out some of the best sandwiches you'll ever have. The Italian sub and Cuban do not disappoint. Not only was there food but I was pleasantly entertained by a local musician who was performing there as well. I had no clue this was event happening and what a great surprise it was. The next time I went there was an art festival going on which was also very cool. I got a cold brew and the barista gave me 50 cent off just because. It seems like theres always something great happening here. It's a great place to hang out, study, and relax. I highly reccomend visiting to grab a drink and enjoy the good vibes. read more

I was craving something hot and liquidy when I came in. Tea for sure, but soup, too, if they had any. The soup of the day on the wall menu was a Punjabi lentil soup, which sounded absolutely scrumptious. So I ordered it along with my dragonwell (yay for more than one green tea option -- there were four) as "the soup of the day" (that is, I didn't actually order it by name), and the young woman came around the counter and took a carton out of the prepared foods fridge. Have to say I wasn't expecting that. It also turned out to be not Punjabi lentil soup, but chili. Well, ok then. I didn't protest because I was just craving something that would warm my belly, and chili sounded dandy, too, but it was certainly odd. She heated it up in the microwave and brought it to me with my tea. It was really very good, so it's hard to complain about any part of the oddness, but it was still unexpected. It's not immediately evident when you walk in that there is seating inside the shop itself. My first thought was that all the tables were outside -- and there are definitely more of them out there -- but I wisely wandered through without giving up on the idea of hunkering down. I didn't need to plug in today, but there is a power strip near the far wall if you need it. Although there were several other people there doing their own thing, I was struck by how utterly quiet the place was. There was no music on, and it felt kind of like a library. The tables are nice and big; one customer was grading papers (for which I did not envy her at all), and she had plenty of space to spread out all her materials. The room smelled wonderful of all sorts of herby stuff. The wifi was zippy even with four laptops open throughout the cafe. I'm definitely a fan. If you need a coffeehouse where you can simply work in quiet without distractions of the homo sapiens variety, this is a great option. It's very intimate, but in a cozy way, not in a shoebox way. It's friendly, and everything smells good but not overwhelming. read more

loved the location of this place. it has a nice outdoor seating area and only three people are permitted into the store at a time while wearing a mask so it's very covid friendly. the coffee itself was pretty average. i got an iced vanilla latte and it was kind of bitter and i ended up asking for an extra couple pumps of simple syrup to sweeten it up. there was an impressive case of pastries but i didn't end up trying any of them. might go back to test out another drink and see if the pastries taste as good as they look. read more

Amazing food, great coffee highly recommend! The service here is great and the employees are very kind. They are very conscious of the environment read more

I just love Global Gallery!!! The lattes are amazing!! I also love their teas and pastries!! One thing I tried recently that I really enjoyed was the lentil soup! Yum! It was delish! I just don't understand how they keep their prices so reasonable for such good quality products but hey I'm not complaining!! Literally Starbucks across the street is way more expensive yet GG has all the fair trade and whole food ingredients!! You just taste the difference when you buy coffee from a shop that promotes better ingredients and no processing or chemicals!! I want to try their pot pies I keep hearing about! I may stop by there this week just to try one! I also love that Boline Apothecary is right next door! 2 of my favorite places in a 1 stop shop! read more

This adorable coffee shop is right across the street from where I practice yoga. There is a ton of outdoor seating as well as indoor. This is a great place for meetings, studying, or getting a cup of coffee with a friend. There is a shop connecting to the coffee shop with global gifts to purchase. This is a nonprofit, fair trade coffee shop so your money benefits more people! Great, quality coffee as well! There are many options for vegans, which is really nice! They offer soy, almond and coconut milk as well as a variety of regular milk. read more

This is the Global Gallery that I've been looking for! It's not that I don't like their other locations -- I do. I love the free-trade gifts and all that. It's just nothing has ever really made me want to make many trips to Global Gallery. The Clintonville location ups the ante by selling all those conscious-friendly items and...serving as a coffee house as well. Clintonville can never have enough places to lounge around and sip a cup of good java. They serve soup too. My favorite part about this shop is that it is located in a old renovated service station. The place where cars used to pull through has been converted into spacious outdoor seating. Awesome. read more

Delicious coffee/lattes. Really good quality ingredients. Id say the only down side is how small the place is and if it's busy it's hard for everyone to even get in a line to wait. But the line goes quickly so don't let that discourage you. Their products are good quality, the barista was delightful. (I went yesterday afternoon) I didn't see the Lavender latte until i already ordered (peppermint mocha) so I definitely have to come back to get it. I love lavender!!! I definitely will be back. This place is worth checking out! read more

Whether you're just looking for somwehere to pop in and grab a coffee and pastry, sit and read a book, or do a bit of shopping for unique gifts, Global Gallery is the spot. They've always got lots of local confections on hand from Dan the Baker, Pattycake Bakery, and more. They brew a mean espresso, too- and there's not ususally a line to the door like the *other* coffee shop just south of here. Since I don't work in Clintonville anymore, I'm not up here as regularly, but this is where I used to get a lot of my beans for coffee at home. They've got a pretty decent selection at standard prices for the quality. And of course, I can't forget to mention all of the fair-trade handcrafted goods you can get here! A perfect little shop to grab gifts (for yourself, or someone ya love!) read more
