    Spinach quiche
    Cynthia N.

    We popped in here for quick bite . My hubby suggested the quiche so I tried it . I had the spinach one it was good ! They were busy and my hubby had a light coffee which he enjoyed! The staff was nice all smiles and it has a nice small but cozy atmosphere.

    My friend and I enjoyed their hot and iced drinks, as well as a breakfast sandwich and one of their pastries.

    Nice atmosphere, helpful employees and great menu options . I would definitely recommend this spot for a quiet afternoon-- you can come grab a coffee, a sweet pastry or breakfast sandwich and a good book! * I will mention that finding parking was a little difficult, so plan ahead for that.

    Cinnamon roll
    Sania H.

    Stopped into Kittie's Cakes for the first time after seeing they were voted best cinnamon roll in Columbus... obviously had to try it! Turns out, it was delicious and reasonably priced at ~$5. The place is cute and attached to a book store, but only 4 small tables and not exactly the best vibe for studying. They seemed to be sold out of most of their pastries even before noon (they were out of cinnamon rolls when we got there but thankfully more were delivered). I would come back to try their biscuits and unique coffee syrups soon!

    . Will start out with disclosing: I know the owners for years due to our sons rowing in regattas together and really like them, so my review might be unintentionally biased. However, I will try my hardest to not be biased. Kitties is located across the street from the library. Ironically, it shares building frontage with a bookstore. when the bookstore is open, there is an interior door between the two businesses that rolls open allowing customers to explore both business spaces. Its pretty special! It really works aestetically. They use "one line" coffee here (the name of roasting company) and thats local- so Yay! The machine they used to do the coffee here is considered one of the industry's best, so your coffee beans will have the right pull giving it great flavor and consistancy --its amazing at pulling the right amount for a balanced cup of coffee. They have some in-house syrups, which I have found really good. Plus, they try to have creative specials so always ask whats new! I got a spicy honey latte made with oat milk. Quite enjoyable. What I like about this location vs their 2 other kitties locations is its dining areas. It has a unique curved bench with tables. Its just fun. It also has a covered side patio that has been cold weather-ized. So there is plenty of spots to hang out here. Kitties also make cakes... I have never had one but you can order those. I have had their tiny cupcakes. Many, many times! Omg. Yum. Tons of flavors. They make three types of biscuits and sell egg sandwiches made from them. The egg has a lot of rise and looks delicious (have not eaten it) but its made with the jalapeno biscuit.... And I have had that (almost every time I come in!!!). the jalapeño biscuit I usually purchase and eat at home. No joke, it's my favorite of all time favorite biscuit in Columbus. Im obsessed with it. If your still reading... give them a try. (And get the biscuit) I think you will like them!!!!.

    Kitties is my favorite coffee shop in Columbus. The staff are always friendly and the coffee is always hot. The pastries are top notch and the location is perfect. I love that I can grab a coffee and walk right into a bookstore, the ambiance is a whole vibe.

    A coffee shop combined with a book store. What's not to love? This is not Starbucks. The coffee bar menu is small and focused on doing the classics really well. No frappuccinos here. The salted maple latte was perfect. They have several kinds of pastries and cupcakes. Apparently there are some breakfast and lunch items, but I must have missed seeing those on the menu. You can enjoy browsing the wonderful Gramercy bookstore as you caffeinate.

    Matcha and coffee
    Aubrie H.

    Stopped here on the coffee trail for a coffee and a matcha. We ordered both online but they didn't finish making them until we arrived to make sure there were hot, loved that! Both were delicious!

    Cinnamon scone
    Sarah N.

    I should have given Kitties five stars my first time around. I don't know what I was thinking! I keep coming back every few weeks to enjoy a sweet treat and coffee at their outdoor dining area. Each time I come, I order a different baked good, and this most recent time was the cinnamon scone. It tasted just like a cinnamon poptart in the best way! And I do keep ordering the Nashville Hoodie for my drink; it's just that good. The service is always great. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Keep it up!

    Kitties is a daily part of my morning routine. It is a world-class cafe and bakery that we are fortunate enough to have in our neighborhood. From baked-daily pastries, sandwiches, quiche and their famous cinnamon rolls (voted best in Columbus), to their wide variety of coffee and tea drinks, there is something at Kitties for everyone. The owners Diane and Steve have a friendly and attentive staff that treats you like family. Grab a coffee and go next door to Gramercy Books, a total gem of an independent bookstore.

    The reviews on this page look really great so I'm going to preface this review with the mindset that I probably came on a one-off day. I walked in through the side door and after noticing the connecting bookstore, I stopped in there first. When it was time for a pick me up, I ordered a latte. I was going to grab some cakes but there were like two available and none looked satisfying enough to purchase. My latte was ok, but nothing to get too excited about. The kids working were distracted a bit and being the only person in there, I waited some longer than I would have expected. I am going to give them another shot though!

    Hot chocolate with almond milk and homemade marshmallow.
    Haley V.

    I had Kittie's tonight while in the Gramercy bookstore and loved it! I had hot chocolate with almond milk (and a killer homemade marshmallow - YUM). It kinda made me regret every time I order almond milk hot chocolates from Starbucks, because it was so. much. better at Kittie's. I also got two of the mini cupcakes to take home - the Black and White (worth getting) and the Ooey Gooey Chocolate (... Too much chocolate for me, tbh). I thought the price (2/$5) was a bit steep given how small they are, but clearly it didn't bother me too much because I bought them. I can't think of a better way to spend a rainy Saturday afternoon than perusing books while sipping Kittie's hot chocolate.

    Coffee was okay. I got a latte and felt the flavor was off, a bit watered down or something. Limited seating and no wifi as well.

I'm not joking, I heard someone did once from the "Trevor" ( a chocolate stoute cake). Ok I might be kidding but his stuff is really good! He has a home based cottage food baking business, which basically means he works out of his home and you call and make an order and then BAM you get it. He is very easy to work with and if you have an allergy (talking to you peanut people) he is able to accommodate and work with you so you don't have some crazy reaction and loose a foot. Once your order is complete he then is only allowed to have pickup, retail sales at locations or provide limited delivery only in Columbus. Who knows how old this Cottage rule is but someone has to follow it. Enough about him and his place of business lets talk about the goods the baked goods that is. My wife and I have tried pretty much everything he has made, we are the go to guinea pigs. My favorite, the good ol "Standard" Chocolate Chip Cookie as he calls is. It is a huge cookie, I would say a little larger and a lot thicker than a CD/DVD. The large chunks of chocolate chips are out of this world. He adds a pinch of sea salt to the top of the cookie, it makes everything in the cookie that much better tasting but it gives a visual appeal of pure greatness too! The cookie is at just the right moisture, so it bends when you bite into it and is still soft. AWESOME-SAUCE! He has all kinds of goodies some examples are Chocolate-Lavendar Cake, Chocolate-Cinnamon Mustache Sandwich Cookies with Nutella Filling, Pistachio & Lavender Chocolate Toffee, Ligurian Olive Oil, Lemon & Raspberry Cake. These are some of the items he had at his pop-up at the Old Familiar Barber Shop (which is also a great place). Onto price... The cookies (mentioned above) are $2.50 each or for you math whizzes $30/dozen. Hell he might even make is a baker's dozen, who knows? One might say that's too expensive for a cookie, listen here you- you Debbie downer, it is an amazing cookie and is made from scratch, everything is made from scratch. With high quality ingredients. It is just like anything in life, you pay what you get for. So for a gourmet cookie and other desserts, the price is spot on maybe even a little cheap. I couldn't be more impressed with these amazing baked goods and other savory fares.
