From the numerous coffee places I've been to, most of them use various coffee beans and syrup flavors to construct their drinks. These places feel repetitive and make coffee experiences less exciting. Kape coffee's Asian twist on caffeinated drinks is refreshing and the drinks are crafted beautifully and deliciously. The only thing about them that may be considered negative is that they do not have a set shop and rent space in different areas so they may end up out of reach. Regardless of the space, the areas are kept clean and the service is always quick and pleasant. This is a top Columbus coffee spot for me.

Pour over

This is a beautiful spot that makes incredible drinks! This is a great spot for coffee coffee drinkers. I had a pour over that was just amazing and they had a lot of knowledge to suggest one for me. They also have unique sweeter drinks and wonderful matcha. There's pastries too! Everyone here is so friendly and kind and ready to help... not a snooty coffee place but with snooty coffee lol! It's one of my few 5 stars!! Wish I could give 6 (note: the storefront says Coppa Gelato- it's a gelato place in the evenings!)

Latte

Kape is BACKK!!! They are now having weekly hours pop up hours W-F 8-2pm at Wolf's Ridge Taproom. It's such a beautiful space with lots of wood, natural light, and comfy seats. This week they were offering the yuja tonic (very refreshing, citrusy summery ade drink), matcha latte (great if you're a milky matcha lover), and their black sesame latte, which is my personal fav. Black sesame has always been a must have for me but it's hard to find a good black sesame latte here in the U.S., let alone Columbus, so I'm so so grateful that Kape has perfected this drink. It's nutty but also smooth with foam on top that just seals the deal. I also love how it's not too sweet so it brings out the natural flavor of the black sesame beautifully. As for parking, there's a paid lot right next to the taproom. You can come for coffee, study and chat, and even stay to get beer after 159 E Hickory St. Columbus, OH 43215

The Leisure Club Mocha
Wing Yan K.

Finally able to catch on the opening hours of Kape Coffee. They reside inside Leisure Club and operate only on Saturday as of now. They recently starting on some pop up appearance at The Branch, which is a new co-working space by East Market. Glad to catch them during their pop up weekend at The Branch. The space itself is super open and filled with sunlight from all the windows. Other than the espresso and pull over menu, their specialty items creation are Asian inspired. The Black Sesame Latte is on my list, but unfortunately they are not on rotation the day I went. I went with the Leisure Club Mocha and ending up liking it. It is their collab drink with Leisure Club, which have a unique twist on the mocha with espresso, nutmeg, cinnamon, and hints of cayenne pepper. Definitely my first time having coffee that are spiced up and I do like that little kick on a mocha. Their coffee is sourced locally from Espresso Air. Kape currently running a special to offer compliment drink to the customers. You can support via their virtual tip jars. I would need to go back and try their Black Sesame Latte someday.

I'm a fiend when it comes to good coffee. There's just something so incredibly comforting about a nice warm cup of delicious brew that makes a day so much better. And Kape Coffee knows how to do just that. Their black sesame latte is the perfect nutty and creamy concoction that deserves to grace everyone's palates.

Leisure Club & Kape Coffee

Kape is such a unique idea and though currently a pop up experience, they are looking for permanent space! The staff is super friendly and helpful to navigate the menu. The Ube Dalgona Latte is a monthly special due to the attention taken to make it with respect to the products from the Philippines. It's a purple dream and adding a shot of espresso is excellent. The pop up at the Leisure Club was a quiet, pleasant experience that I'd be happy to repeat on the reg. Highly recommend going during the pop up phase as all drinks are complimentary!

Black Sesame Latte
Marseille N.

Wow I never thought this kind of amazing thing can happen in Columbus!!! The staff is extremely friendly and the place is so nice! Also I love how the drinks are free as it really brings that community feel that a lot of other coffee shops don't! And the drinks are quality and great!!! I hope they have more of these coffee shops in Columbus and beyond!! I think they can change the world!!!

Luckily, I got a table in the back, but plan to arrive early if you really need a spot. I tried one of their Valentines Day specialty drinks, that had cranberry and pear flavorings. It was different...but good. The fact that it was iced gave it a refreshing vibe. The playlist was nice, not too loud or distracting.

They stay open later too which I am a big fan of. All that said, I placed an order for pickup at 5:15pm on a Sunday. I pulled in and parked and my drink was hot and ready and waiting for me when I walked in! The barista was friendly too. I ordered one of their seasonal fall drinks, the Cinnamon Roll Capp (cappuccino topped with a swirl of homemade icing + cinnamon sugar) with oat milk. It was delicious! My only reason for not giving them 5 stars was the price...a tiny cappuccino was $7.50 which is a bit steep in my opinion. I would go back though for sure and try some other offerings. Thank you, Roosevelt Coffeehouse!

There are so many options of desserts and pastries to choose from... we ordered 6. We could have ordered more but we didn't want to be gluttonous ;) Their coffee, tea, refresher options are also extensive. I got an iced mocha and it was divine. Iced mochas are my go to and they are not all made the same. This one was perfect! Creamy without being too milky and you could taste both the espresso and the mocha. 10/10!!! It was so good we went back the next day -and we do not live close by. Our son then had an appointment at Columbus State and we made it a point to stop by for the third time in a week. This place is a gem! The ambiance, the service, the food -everything exceeded expectations. Highly recommend this place, my only complaint is I wish we lived closer! P.S. Try the honeycomb pastry ~ delish!!

My purchase consisted of pain au chocolat, two shortbread an orange brioche and a blueberry lemon taro tea. All of the items were amazing. I don't like items too sweet and the tea was perfect. The line moved fast and the staff were very efficient. There was outside seating as well as a few seats inside. I like that they support local small business.

As usual, the line was out the door but thank goodness the weather was in our favor. Mentally already knew what to get so i couldn't get swayed. lol. I got the smoked salmon sandwich, maple butter latte, and a of course some macarons. My friend got the bacon onion quiche, chocolate pistachio feuillette, and a spiced apple matcha. Drinks were great. Both were creamy and tasty. I preferred the maple butter latte because it wasn't too sweet. I also wished mine came in a larger size. Smoked salmon sandwich was my favorite part of the meal. It was dill forward which was not an issue with me. The bread had a nice crunch to it. The cucumbers add a nice freshness that paired with the crème fraiche. I got a small tasting of the pistachio dessert which was rich but surprisingly made you want more. I like the nice touch of gold specks which made it very elegant. My friend enjoyed the quiche which was exciting to hear since they hate onions. They said they didn't even notice any. Can't wait to come back for some seasonal flavors Tip: Parking is a bit tough. Try to park a few blocks down since it's rare to find a spot right next to the cafe.

**5 stars for the milk bread**…read more FUN FACT -- Tous Les Jous is owned by a South Korean food conglomerate group (same concept as Paris Baguette) and this is a bakery with Asian and European baked goods. I visited Tous Les Jours for the first time on Memorial Day (May 2026) at the Columbus location. I arrived around 2:30pm on a Monday. Surprisingly, they had lots of options available even with my late arrival because most bakeries run out of items quickly. They sell croissants, cakes, milk breads, macarons, drinks, etc. MY ORDER ($18.95 total for 4 items) -- Twist Donut ($2.95), Sweet Frank Roll ($4.50), Almond Croissant ($4.75), and a Whole Milk Loaf bread ($6.75). 1. Twist donut ($2.95) - sweet but not overly sweet. It tasted just like a regular twist donut that you'll find at other donut shops. 2. Sweet Frank Roll ($4.50) - good. Perfect savory option for breakfast or lunch. Soft and buttery bread base. I think $3 would have been a better price but the bread roll was good. I ate this in my car before driving back to Cleveland. It held me over until I got home. 3. Almond Croissant ($4.75) - my favourite item - buttery with some almond cream or paste inside. Topped with almonds. I don't like creamy things at all and I didn't realize that this croissant had a cream inside until I opened it but the cream is very light and it is more of a spread than a cream. 4. Whole Milk Loaf Bread ($6.75) - Fresh and soft. Definitely my other favourite item. This was all gone within a day, that's how good it was. Buttery goodness. The best bread. Overall, I enjoyed visiting Tous Les Jours and I hope to visit their Cleveland location soon. I ordered takeout so I didn't sit in but they have some tables and chairs available. I'll definitely be back if I'm close by the area again. Tous Les Jours means everyday in French and I wish I could visit them everyday...haha. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 101/250 total reviews in 2026 - 942 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 27 May 2026
