I enjoyed the large Cafe Americano at this place during a mid-June 2025 conference in Downtown Columbus. It was well worth the 10+ minute walk north from the Convention Center in the early morning to get a strong cup of coffee. The baristas are friendly and can guide you on the different options if needed. Although the interior space is cute and has a nice vibe, the space is limited and not ideal for large groups (OK for 2 people). This cafe is located on High Street just north of the bright orange "Fomo" sign. I enjoyed making this part of my early morning ritual of exercise, walking in Goodale Park, and getting a cup of caffeinated bliss before starting each day of the conference. Thanks for providing a friendly "wake up" in the morning before a full day of conference sessions. read more

Very cute coffee shop in Short North! Unfortunately, both of my friends who ordered lattes did not enjoy the flavor of their coffees, but my hot drink, a Blue Moon Oolong tea with honey, was perfect for the cold weather. It looked like there was a craft workshop of some kind happening when we visited, and I'd love to go back if in the area. read more

Yum!! I did the most popular honey latte and did not disappoint. I ordered a head of time - but it wasn't busy so not necessary. We got two muffins. The blueberry and mocha. They are not really sweet - the mocha one was a little crumbly. Also got the energy bites! Girls behind the counter were super friendly and nice! Great location right across from our hotel!

Great coffee!!! Knowledgeable baristas. Highly recommend the maple or honey lattes. They are both amazing. The coffee station is right in the middle with seating in the front and back. Street parking is easy. And it's an easy walk from the convention center. read more

Mmmmmmmmmmm. One line has the smoothest honey latte out there. It just is warm, silky with just the right sweetness. The shop is off High St just a tad north of Bollinger Street. Twinkle lights cascade from the top of the street front window adding charm to this cute shope. The shop itself is small-ish. Nice brick walls and a central coffee station give it then perfect balance. The coffee is excellent. i have had many types there. My fav is the honey latte. Its just smooth and delicious. They have bakery items there as well: scones, muffins, stuffed biscuits. I havent tried the biscuits... but the scones are crazy good. If you find yourself in the short north, stop in and give them a try. I bet you will really be glad you did. read more

I woke up after a horrible night's sleep with an aggressive craving for some good coffee. Decided to check out this cafe on the way into work, as I've heard lots of good things. It did not disappoint. I always come to the Lox across the street for bagels but I might have to start coming here more often too! I ordered the honey latte and the tomato basil scone. The scone was super fresh and buttery and delicious with tons of sun dried tomatoes. I think warming it would have put it over the top but it was still pretty good at room temp. The honey latte was just what it needed to be to hit the spot, not too sweet, a little floral and oh so creamy and frothy. Craving satisfied. The service was pretty chill without being pretentious, all the baristas seemed super hip which I think is a prerequisite to good coffee lol. Ambiance is also super simple and clean but homey and welcoming. I just came to enjoy the coffee but there were a couple people having coffee chats and working on laptops, so it definitely works as a study space. My only gripe with this spot is the cost, $7 for a 12 oz latte is pretty steep in my opinion... I wouldn't say it was worth it but I also wouldn't say it wasn't. Will definitely be back soon to try the maple latte, as I was torn between the maple and honey! read more

One line coffee is a cute coffee shop located in the short north and a great spot for yummy coffee. We got a vanilla latte and the honey latte, both were very good! I've also had their maple latte in the past and loved it! The service is very quick and there's a few tables inside to sit and do work. We really love this shop and their coffee in Cbus! read more

When traveling I always look for a great local roaster to visit and staying nearby in the Short North, One Line jumped out as the right call. The tell for me is always a large variety of single origin offerings, which is exactly what I saw in photos and found walking in. They obviously take coffee seriously here, which I appreciate. I ordered a pour over of an experimental process that felt like it would deliver some nuance and complexity, and a vanilla oat milk latte for a friend. While they were being made I perused their beans to see which lost puppy was coming home with me. I was torn and let the barita's bias influence my decision more than I should have and chose on a naturally processed Ethiopian varietal grown in Central America just because it sounded different. The other contender was an anaerobic natural Javan coffee. I haven't had many Javan coffees or anaerobic coffees, so this should've been my call, but I am enjoying the one I chose too. I'm giving four stars primarily because of service. I enjoy visiting local roasters to learn about their approach to coffee and what has them excited about it. I could tell there was some real thought in the coffees on offer, and the descriptions on the bags were super helpful, but unfortunately I didn't get a sense of any passion or enthusiasm for the products from my interaction with the barista. In fact, I probably would have left with two bags if she had shown an interest in telling me about them. I visited mid-month and noticed the bag I chose had a roast date at the beginning. Knowing I wouldn't be drinking it until the last week of June and understanding that flavor degrades around 3 weeks after roast, I asked for a bag that had been roasted more recently, and the way she responded assumed I knew none of that and was just a bit off putting. She did eventually go find a bag roasted about a week later, which I very much appreciated. This is a very solid coffee roaster still. The sourcing is on point, the storytelling and detail on each bag very transparent, and the roast profiles develop significant and interesting flavors. Highly recommend! read more

This location is convenient and located near a park. Excellent service and top quality coffee. I would recommend iced honey latte. The mocha was also good. read more

Has very strong eastern character with bricks. The aroma inside was soo good!! Coffee beans. The coffee exceeded my expectations! Top 5 favorites ever. I got maple latte with almond milk. I asked to add cinnamon. Maple was kinda sweet. I would ask them to reduce next time. Still so good read more

When I complained about the awful coffee at my cute hotel, The Graduate, the front desk person told me to run across the street to One Line: "It has the best coffee in Ohio," she said. I always listen to locals. I ordered a large cappuccino (they only have one size, alas), which was excellent. The barrister said if I wanted extra-large I should order a latte, which I did the next day. Also excellent. read more

My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE COFFEE. The only reason to visit Ohio if we're being honest. Balanced, smooth, no flavor necessary. From farm to roaster to me? I am in! Thank you!!! 10/10. read more

Stumbled upon this place when looking for takeaway coffee. Definitely a cozy spot and the latte I had there was delicious.

After being whisked out the door at Park Service coffee after asking for regular milk in my coffee, I walked a few blocks to One Line. Great coffee shop vibe, vibrant and relaxing at the same time. read more

Good coffee with a story! This might be the first time I learned the whole origin story of a store based on Yelp reviews! Seems neat inside; I'm not too much of a coffee connoisseur but I do enjoy a nice cup. They have "market prices" for their coffee which may suggest a different level of sophistication. I'm barely on board with third wave coffee! Staff is friendly and help make suggestions. The staff seems to make a game of the guest count; about 100 came in by noon on a Monday but that same number came within one hour of opening on Saturday. It's my first time in "Short North" so didn't know the seasonal variation of customer traffic. read more

(Visited back in may) Apricot almond is an interesting combination of flavors and was amazingly good. It's probably just mixture of syrups but the flavor was so unique and tasty. It would have been even better if the sweetness was controllable, it was too sweet to finish. 100% recommended flavor though. read more

Advertises pour over but doesn't serve it on the weekend or before 11. Other coffee was average at best.

I never wrote a review for here? It's my coffee spot before or after a haircut. Or when I am walking around the area. I have worked from this location, I've relaxed here, pre-Covid and on. Plain and simple - it's good coffee and tea. It's a good coffee shop - I wish they had more space, but then again, that could ruin the ambiance. The staff? Always awesome. They're attentive to the customers, they know what they're making, and it's simply put - good coffee. It's a whole vibe, and it's an awesome spot, with good coffee and good people. read more

Nice servers + coffee shop but the matcha did not have any matcha flavor at all. The color was very light green and disregarding color, it just tasted like oat milk. I asked for light syrup but matcha latte flavor shouldn't rely on syrup, disappointed. Can't speak for their coffee. read more

It's been a minute since I reviewed this place. Now that I've settled into Cbus more and go to One Line almost every second day, I have to say, its time to add the extra star. I've resorted to their matcha lattes and I have to say it's the best one in the short north!! I also love that they added a cortado! Ps: now they just need to add a matcha tonic and it'll be bumpin :) read more

I ordered the Matcha latte. Personally, I think the prices are a little too high. I ended up paying $7.65 for a small. Although, the inside was clean, the staff was nice, and my drink was prepared well. It's just too high of a price for what it's worth. read more

The peppermint mocha was fantastic! This coffee shop had such a cozy vibe. The employees were really nice.

Three years have gone by since I first left a review for One Line Coffee and today is the day I update my rating from a four star to a raving five star! From the outside, this coffee shop might look relatively the same as it did several years ago. On the inside, it's a different story. Other than the COVID health and safety guidelines, the space has been updated a little bit. The counter, cashier, and barista station is updated and I think the flooring too. I know they were doing work on it several months back. However, the biggest difference I've noticed is the people working there. In the past, they were my least favorite, the coffee was the one thing that kept me coming back. Nowadays, they are so incredibly friendly, helpful, like to make conversation, are quick to make your drink, etc. While everyone is in masks, you can tell they're smiling. This is exactly what I want from my baristas and I'm very pleased to have noticed the shift. I've even been coming back more and more lately because of it. Pretentious coffee snobs, be gone. Fun, happy community barista, here to stay (I hope)!! Pro tip - try one of their seasonal drinks. They always kill it! I'm currently hooked on their gingersnap latte with real ginger. Holy moley, it's good af. read more

We stumbled upon this gem while wandering around the Short North. The coffee itself was excellent--rich and flavorful, just the way coffee should be. It was evident that they take pride in their craft. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. They not only served with a smile but also had fantastic recommendations for things to do in the area, which added an unexpected layer of hospitality to our visit. Overall, this coffee shop is a gem in Columbus. Whether you're a local or just passing through like us, it's definitely worth a visit for the great coffee and the warm, genuine hospitality. We can't wait to stop by again on our next trip to the city! Editing to add: I had the maple latte, and it was phenomenal. 10/10 recommend read more

I found this place looking for a cute coffee shop that was open early with great drinks. I got their iced Honey Latte with oat milk, which sounds like a pretty popular choice, and it was AMAZING! It both had some great flavors and was super refreshing on a humid Ohio morning. Just a heads up that it does air on the sweet side, but I thought it was a good balance with the bitter espresso and definitely will be back for more! They also had a small display of baked goods up front but it looked like it was real popular - I got there around 8:30am and they were almost out! read more

I tried their two signature lattes, the maple syrup and the honey. They were both fantastic. The maple is clearly a bit sweeter so if that's your thing get it. Honey is a bit more understated but equally tasty. The coffee is 5 stars, hands down! I also tried some scones, coffee cake and cinnamon roll. The desserts are ok but nothing special. The coffee cake and cinnamon roll were both too sweet, and the scones were just ok, nothing special. Moral to the story: skip the sweets and stick to the coffee because the coffee is a winner! It's all downhill from there. read more

Got a 12 oz latte with honey syrup. It was really good! Not overly sweet, but flavorful. There was strong espresso flavor. The milk was a bit over-foamed for my liking. Would come back again for coffee. Did not try a pastry today but they had plenty of biscuits and cinnamon rolls. They offered free Wi-Fi and several tables and high top seating which is good for getting some work done. read more
