This is a cozy coffee shop in the heart of downtown Columbus. There is street parking in the area, and it usually isn't too hard to find a place to park. I opted for one of their seasonal lattes and a scone. They have a lot of seating inside and the very back has an area for kids to play. read more

Extremely unimpressed. Couldn't hear the staff member, Chai was not hot and tasted horrible, and the up charge for coconut milk varies for some ridiculous reason, but explained as how much is put into the cup. Definitely won't be returning, but highly suggest items being consistent on pricing. Also, it was not mentioned that the chai contained dairy or was pre-mixed. What is the point of being sensitive to allergies if not, really flexible to allergies? read more

We love this coffee shop. Omg! I cannot stop loving it. We stayed by this coffee place and coffee is something that I need so bad. I mean, staying alone in Indiana with 3 kids especially after driving from Chicago. Yeah coffee is a NEED. The employees are super nice and they're smiling. The whole atmosphere is just super inviting. They make my morning amazing. The coffee and drinks are amazing. I cannot stop loving it. The caramel apple Chai, OMG!!! it's amazing! Overall, we will definitely go back here. Maybe in a couple months since we only go to Indiana for our friend who lives in Nashville read more

Gang, this is probably one of our favorite coffee shops in the state. *If only* they had a location in Indianapolis! We've made half day trips to the Columbus area based around our design to visit Lucabe. It's hard to beat their kid friendly set up and delicious drinks. By "kid-friendly set up" I mean they have a dedicated high top that wraps around a walled off kids play area complete with puzzles, a mini kitchen and upper level book nook. It's amazing! For once you can take a book or magazine to a coffee shop and flip through it while your kiddo safely plays in front of you. It's genius. Lucabe roasts their own beans and offers a dynamite latte menu. They also have a healthy stash of sandwiches and breakfast foods on hand to round out the experience. I believe some of the baked good items are made in-house. This family-owned coffee shops nails the "community" aspect of coffee shops. I'll try not to be twoo jealous that Columbus is their home...vs. Indy read more

Second coffee and my office for the morning, I spent three hours here at Lucabe with my laptop and headphones. Starting off with a perfect cortado. And if you've not had a cortado, try it. It's like a latte but not nearly as much milk. I found a good spot to set up and pound away at my keyboard this morning. Speedy wifi, good power outlet and the coffee kept me going. Meetings! Emails! Teams chats! All the "fun" of working in an office without actually being stuck in a cubicle. Street parking has a signs mentioning a limit so check them carefully and avoid a parking ticket!

Friendly service, great coffee, pretty space! We stopped in for some caffeine - I like that they have some adventurous flavors on the menu, including a lavender latte and one that had violet and vanilla. I went with Rosie's latte, which had (you guessed it) rose. It is really good! The coffee was excellent and I liked the floral notes of the rose with the vanilla and honey. I also had a scone, which was perfectly serviceable. I'm glad we tried it! read more

Went to the Lucabe Coffee shop downtown in Columbus IN on a Friday afternoon as I've been doing for a couple years now. We were the only ones in line-at the counter and no one would help, aask to take our order even though 3-4 female employees were all standing there?? Very bizarre indeed!! Maybe they have no manager so don't really care about customer service. We left and went over to Gramz Bakery just around the block! read more

Best breakfast croissant ive ever had. A MUST visit for anyone in the area. You cannot get any better food, drinks, and service then at at lucabe! read more

I am obsessed with Lucabe. I've only been a half dozen times but have loved all of them. Their special lattes are always good - rosemary, rose, lavender - I've enjoyed them all. The cinnamon rolls truly are the BEST cinnamon rolls I've ever had! The location is soooo adorable. Just very cozy with multiple seating options, lots of space, and even a kid play area. They also have a community board with lots of interesting local events posted. read more

Great coffee, muffins & service!! I would recommend 10 out of 10 to anyone looking to try coffee from a small business. read more

A great local gem in the heart of Columbus! Tall ceiling with windows makes it a welcoming, bright & airy atmosphere. The baristas greeted us on the way in & the way out which was a nice touch. Very impressed by the food and drink menu! They offer sandwiches, build your own biscuits, and bakery items. I highly recommend the vegan morning glory muffin (pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin, raisins, apples, etc). They also offer gluten free bagels. The honey ginger latte was semi sweet with a good kick to it! Definitely woke me up! It's part of their seasonal lattes, so check out the menu to see what is currently offered. Lots of variety of seating including a meeting room and a kids play place with a free lending library. Really nice touches! Free street parking and a parking garage nearby. read more

Loved this coffee shop conveniently located in downtown Columbus. Tons of spots for sitting down and getting work done or visiting with a friend. Nice selection of drinks, all very well prepared. We tried a few of the fall drinks - Pumpkin Chai Latte was especially delicious. Prices for special drinks were really high but regular coffees affordable. read more

This place was recommended by a friend and I'm glad I stopped. They were busy and we did have to wait a little while, but we weren't in a rush. The staff was kind and cheery, which always makes a visit anywhere better and makes me want to return! The inside is decorated nicely and I loved the tall ceilings and lights! There are lots of little gifts for purchase-shirts, mugs, stickers, etc. and it gave it a cozy feel. I got a seasonal latte but we also got a blueberry scone and birthday cake scone. Both were fantastic! There were some prepackaged snacks and drinks as well as a build your own parfait option. Such a fun idea! I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Columbus so I can stop and try another coffee, maybe sit for brunch! read more

Visited Lucabe while in Columbus, IN. It's in the downtown area which is super cute. Street parking is available around the area. The space was large and even had a cute kids play area. We were there just in time to try their new fall items. They were so good and got us in the fall vibes!! The service was great and they were very kind!! read more

Always good coffee and baked goods. Staff is great and the place is mellow and clean!

Cute little coffee shop in the heart of downtown. Ample parking on surrounding streets, most of which is free for 3 hours. This is a deceivingly large space as seating wraps around the back of the cafe as well. Seating for kiddos is also included, and a rentable room is available. I opted for an herbal tea, but for my non-caffeinated friends, they offer all coffee-based drinks to be served with decaf. My rooibos vanilla tea was tasty and a very great price for a city. Staff was very friendly and nice! read more

Love this place for coffee! I recommend the pumpkin pie latte! Soo good! I also recommend this place if you have young children, the plate room is always clean and has a mom bar so you can watch and make sure your child is playing nice! My favorite place to get a nice warm drink and watch my son play! read more

Awakening with a Cappuccino: My Journey into the World of Coffee... Lucabe was one of the first true local coffee shops to open in Columbus. There were others before it, but none that felt so entirely dedicated to the art of coffee. At first, I was hesitant to go. I couldn't justify choosing a local spot over Starbucks--until I discovered the flavor that changed everything: White Chocolate Mocha. That was the beginning. I became a regular, found excuses to visit with friends, and started spreading the word. I laugh now, thinking back to those days when I knew nothing about coffee. It was more like a dessert to me--something sweet I really enjoyed. Then one day, I met Corrie, a barista at Lucabe. We struck up a conversation, and wow--her passion for coffee was contagious. She explained everything that goes into making a great cup and encouraged me to try an espresso. That night, I spent four hours diving into coffee research, learning all I could. The very next morning, I walked into Lucabe from the office, determined to try an espresso. Corrie was there and suggested I have it with milk--in other words, a cappuccino. I took one sip and felt like I'd entered heaven. Suddenly, everything I'd read and everything she had explained clicked. That cappuccino became the turning point. Since then, coffee has become a part of my travels--especially as a runner. I seek out local spots wherever I go, often with fellow runners, always in pursuit of the next great cup. It's been six years, and I've had some incredible coffee around the country--but Lucabe remains a favorite. So thank you, Corrie, for introducing me to the world of coffee and teaching me how to appreciate it. It's a memory I'll always cherish. Lucabe still serves one of the best cappuccinos in the Columbus area. From the perfectly chosen beans, skillfully roasted, precisely ground, and expertly pressed, to the delicate blending with milk--everything comes together with care and craft. Of course, I've also come to realize that the magic depends on the barista. Not every cappuccino is created equal, and Lucabe's consistency varies depending on who's behind the counter. These days, I adjust my expectations accordingly. Still, I wholeheartedly recommend stopping by. Lucabe is worth the trip for the ambiance, the people, and the amazing range of flavors. Just know--the perfect cup might depend on a little bit of luck with who is blending it. read more

The interior is pristinely clean and quiet. There is a good variety of food and beverage offerings. My husband ran inside to get some coffee for us on the way back to Indianapolis. He ordered their seasonal honey lavender coffee for me and it was really delicious! He doesn't usually like florals as much as I do, but ended up drinking a good amount of it because he liked it so much. He couldn't resist a cinnamon roll, so that was divvied up between the two of us and our toddler had a big slice too. Everyone was pleased with it's sweetness, and the size was so big it was easy to split between us all. I would definitely recommend stopping in! I regret not buying some coffee beans to take home or something. read more

My absolute favorite new shop! I came here when exploring the town of Columbus for the first time with a friend. What a beautiful, quaint town! I love trying local shops, especially coffee shops, and found this place on Yelp, which my friend had surprisingly never been to. I've been several times since and it has quickly become my all time favorite coffee shop - I wish we had a Lucabe in Indy! Parking is a bit tricky in the busy area but I typically find a street spot to parallel park in. There's always a decently long line but it moves fairly quickly. There are specials that they change regularly but some can be made after. My first time, the Tuxedo Latte was on special and it has become my go-to, despite no longer being on the menu. I love it hot but my friend gets it cold and both are delicious. They have treats in the case, such as scones, croissants, cinnamon rolls. I have yet to try one but people rave about how good they are. There is a lot of seating and many tables have fresh flowers. The woman-owned business (love that!) is run with really kind people. I love the hippie vibe this place puts out, really good energy here. The prices are similar to the place with the green mermaid logo. When you pay with a card, you can register your phone number for points towards free drinks. Side note: I've seen them give free coffee to service members, which is always awesome to see. Support local and give this place a try. Get the tuxedo latte and thank me later!! read more

I have been getting iced drinks here while my husband is doing chemotherapy, I do wish the cups were more stable. I feel like they aren't made the best. Last week I got the birthday cake drink, it was very delicious! read more

I'd been wanting to try this place as my other mom friends had posted about the play area! The staff were patient and kind toward us answering our questions. I am so glad I asked if they had a specialty drink!! This happened to be Rosie's Latte which is on the menu but the name isn't descriptive. It's a rose vanilla honey latte. The drink was served with cute art, a generous amount of froth and it was soo good! Loved the honey in it! New favorite drink!! We enjoy visiting small coffee shops and will definitely return when in the area! I appreciated the kid friendly environment from the play area to the step stool at the bathroom sink but truly the coffee is delicious!! read more

Affordable cup of coffee and nice brews for pre brewed in carafes. I liked this place and would go again when read more

This is the epitome of a well-run, cozy, community-centered coffee shop. From a gorgeous 'mini Lucabe' playhouse in the back room for kids to play on with a "mom bar", to friendly owners and different types of seating and spaces, this spot that is welcoming to all types of people, meetings and events. They have delicious drinks and their baristas are super friendly. Their lattes are amazing, but I opted for a fruit smoothie and an egg sandwich that came with delicious blueberry compote on it. I also learned at a Yelp event that the chef makes everything from scratch, including the sauces. Very impressive! They also have granola bars, baked goods, sandwiches and can cater too. If you haven't been here yet, you should! It's a central point of Columbus and definitely part of the lifeblood of the community! read more

This amazing coffee company located on Fourth Street in Columbus is an absolute treasure. Every one gets a very big smile and friendly service by their amazing staff including Taylor, Rachelle, and Nathan. Their drinks are delight in coffee art. And the chef in kitchen is a genius in creating some of tastiest scones and muffins I have ever eaten. You must stop in before work and grab one of their awesome breakfast sandwiches and a cup of great coffee. It will start your day out the right way! read more

Long time regular at Lucabe. I can always find something new to try, and it never disappoints. Best coffee in town! Getting to know the baristas is helpful in having more excellent service. Of the two locations, I prefer this one(downtown), but they both have great environments. It is a great place to get work done, meet a friend for coffee, or keep the kids occupied for a couple hours. There is plenty of natural light and workspace. Overall, I am a huge fan of Lucabe Coffee Company! read more

5 stars just on the coffee alone, but Lucabe delivers on all other fronts as well. I got a small latte and a mini sugar cream pie. The space was lit very well with natural light streaming in from the floor to ceiling wall of windows. Tons of seating options to match your mood - bartop facing the outside, casual lounge areas for catching up with friends, two-top small tables if you want to pop up your laptop, and even some quiet hideaways if you need a bit more peace. There is even a kids fort play area if you have kids to take along while you get a caffeine kick. The sugar cream mini pie was gluten free from a local bakery, and it was delicious. Not too sweet, subtle and creamy flavors, soft and chewy crust. All that good stuff aside, the coffee was still the star of my visit. Perfect micro foam that didn't settle out quickly, high quality whole milk (they might even add some extra cream...not sure), great espresso quality, and a really cool retro-chic mug. On par with any of the best lattes I've had! Next time I'm in Columbus I'll be excited to make a stop here. read more

Grate location , east to find, easy free street parking. Staff was friendly and answered questions. I ordered a latte with an extra shot.

No better place in Central Indiana to gather or sit quietly and sip delicious coffee! Lucabe has created an ideal space for spending some time with your coffee, tea, latte, etc. and a scrumptious pastry, alone or with friends, business associates or Bible study group.

The BlackBerry Vanilla Latte. Let's start there. Didn't know what to expect on the first sip, but my taste buds were taken on a rollercoaster ride that I didn't want to end. Perfectly sweet, tart, and takes you to a warm summer day eating pie at grandmas. Yeah that's what it is, it reminds me of blackberry cobbler. Similar to a white mocha with raspberry from Starbucks, but better. More intimate. Not too sweet, yet still punches flavor. So yeah I'd recommend! Staff were super sweet, building was clean. read more

This is an excellent place to work from - even with kids!! I was floored at how awesome it was that Lucabe has a little kids playhouse location in the back complete with kid-sized tables. It also has a bench bar set up overlooking the playhouse area so you can keep an eye on your child while joining that zoom call. I worked from Lucabe on a Monday afternoon and it was busy without being crowded or noisy. I had an iced americano that was delicious. Next time I go I'll try one of the jumbo cookies in the front case. Lucabe is a little overpriced, but not more than what you would pay for your favorite Starbucks drink. Plus, it's a small business so power to the local people! Cute merch up front if you need a last minute gift for a tea or coffee lover. read more

I wouldn't know what their coffee tastes like since they forgot my order after waiting 20 minutes for an iced coffee. This must be a rare experience since they have plenty of good reviews. However, the customer before me had come to the barista to tell him he forgot her iced tea. read more
