Dropped by on a whim during a work trip in Columbus and must say that I was pleasantly surprised…read more I've tried a few different Yemeni coffee joints - Haraz, Qamariya, Shibam but this place clearly holds its own. The interior is well decorated and gives off very relaxing vibes. I was surprised to find it decently packed during a Wednesday afternoon. I picked up the pistachio latte and found it a tad on the sweeter side but the beans had the right roast to it. The latte was smooth and velvety. Noticed a decent variety of delicacies but left those for another day. The attendees were friendly and the place is kept sparkling clean. I now know my go-to coffee spot the next time I'm here.

So I had the opportunity to meet a local peer of mine at this coffeehouse last Thursday…read more Admittedly, it was my first time and they've been open almost a year next month. I cannot rave about this place enough! In no particular order, but as topics come to mind: The establishment is spotless. The staff is second to none and completely top-notch from the time that you walk in where you get smiles upon entry and including placing your order at the counter. Both with smiles. Wow! The ordering process is seamless. The menu is clear. Not worky. Their pastries and snacks that they have displayed are absolutely stunning. An amazing amount of seating tables for communities or single set up spaces if you want to crank some out privately. The ladies restroom again, like the front of the establishment was spotless. The decor in the establishment is absolutely incredible. Very inviting not screaming white like you're at the dentist office but calm and peaceful. My sugar-free vanilla latte was absolutely amazing. To my understanding that is the only sugar-free syrup still they had it. I was on it. The connection I had at the counter was awesome. Asked me if this was my first time shared some background information about the coffee shop just incredible. Their efficiency is spot on you get a little red light flashy alarm that you take back to your table with you and when it buzzes your coffee's ready. I love that no screaming no loud shouts across the room. It's absolutely classy. I get it now. I was blowing up my husband's phone while I was waiting for my coffee and my girlfriend to arrive sharing pictures and can't wait to return. Marib crushes it.

The two ladies behind the counter helped us navigate the menu and choose the right drinks. We also chose a macaron shaped like a teddy bear face. It was the best macaron I've ever tasted. Rich, chocolate, layers of flavor. We talked about our visit all week. I'm going back for sure the next time I'm in town. The bathrooms are so clean and the store has a nice bright appearance because of the mirrors and lights. Very pretty decor. Located at the corner of a busy intersection so I'm sure they get plenty of repeat customers. *Five photos attached

I wish they offered more sugar free syrup options (I believe they only had vanilla and caramel). I got Biscoff tiramisu to go-it is very sweet. It's cute that they use Biscoff biscuits instead of lady fingers. It was light but a bit too sweet for my liking. Ice latte wasn't bad at all but nothing notable.

This location has a ton of character. Very cozy spot that is great to sip for a while.

After reading that this café uses house-made strawberry jam in their matcha, I had to try it. To no…read moresurprise, it was delicious and fresh! I also ordered the egg sandwich and breakfast cookie, which was the perfect amount of food (especially if you share the cookie). I sometimes feel like breakfast sandwiches can be heavy and rather greasy, but this one was quite light! The maple sauce added a nice touch of sweetness too. I believe their breakfast cookie is a best seller and I can see why. Chocolate chips and dried cherries?? Scrumptious and soft! I like the small and minimalist feel of their interior. It feels more hometown instead of a chain. Even with only a few people working, they kept the orders coming at a great speed. I was happy to get my food within minutes. I eyed the cinnamon roll pretty hard, so I look forward to trying that next!

Stopped by this morning for a hot mocha made with almond milk and their breakfast sandwich on an English muffin with chicken sausage, and it was outstanding. The place was pretty packed even at midmorning on a weekday, which is always a good sign. The sandwich came hot right off the grill, fresh, flavorful, and really hit the spot for breakfast. The English muffin had a nice toasted finish, the egg was cooked just right, and the chicken sausage gave it a great savory bite. The hot mocha was smooth, rich, and comforting, the perfect match for a cool morning. Friendly atmosphere, great food, and a cozy neighborhood coffee shop feel. Definitely an eggcellent way to start the day. Family Room Coffee & Bake Shop 545 S Otterbein Ave, Westerville, OH 43081 Located on the east edge of the Walmart shopping center, on Otterbein Avenue just north of Schrock Road.

If you're looking for a quiet space to get some work done, this is a decent option in Westerville!…read moreThe bagel was delicious: soft and chewy. I did not buy any coffee (and you cannot bring any outside food/drink jn), so I cannot speak to that. The one downside is the quality of the seating. If you consider the name "Family Room" -- it looks like a well-loved living room that many children have sat, jumped, eaten on. There were crumbs all over the couches and I had stopped in before 9am.

Spotted one of their locations when I was in LA and I knew there was one in Columbus so I had to…read morecome by. Had no idea initially that it was a chain. When my friend and I came in, it was late morning on a Saturday. Not busy yet but later on more folks that looked like college students came in. The menu doesn't explain much and the syrup and milk options are not on the back wall menu but by the ordering counter. Some syrups aren't available with hot drinks only iced. I tried the pistachio latte with oat milk while my friend tried the chai. As another Yelper said, the drinks are sweet and pretty milky. Not much espresso flavor. I'd come back to try the iced drinks though. They had a lot of fruity flavors. Otherwise, the space is nice. Lots of seating and comfortable couches. They had a little hanger thing by the couches to hang purses and hold long umbrellas. Even the bathrooms were clean and smelled good (they used plug-ins). And the staff were nice. Napkins weren't sitting out so I asked for some. Parking is easy. It shares the same parking lot as El Vaquero and Rusty Bucket. Probably a busy area in the evenings.

I also bought raspberry chocolate cake to go but I didn't care for it too much. It was wet (not sure if it is supposed to be more of a moist cake or got moisture from condensation from fridge) and a bit too sweet for my liking. (Stronger raspberry jam flavor than chocolate) They have so many fun items to offer and I would definitely go back to try other things!

Adding to my previous reviews... This coffee house continues to be one of the best in the area…read more It was a rainy day today. I still decided to utilize their walk up window simply because I had a car full of dogs and I didn't want them to miss me. The window is pretty easy. It does have an awning, but it doesn't really work very well when it's raining cause it's a little narrow and width. However, the barista prioritized me standing in the rain and quickly took my order I told her I was gonna go back and wait in the car because I had a car full of dogs. When my coffee was ready, she noticed that I was getting attention to my dogs and she decided to hand-deliver my coffee to my car. It's a little things like that that make a difference to somebody's day. Whoever does a hiring at this location has a talent for picking the best people. I am quite a fan of the people (and coffee ) here

Unfortunately, I was massively let down by this place. Not so bad that I'm not willing to try them…read moreagain, but overall I was underwhelmed. The ratings in this place are solid five star so it's confusing why but perhaps I had a bad experience with the food and that's not reflective of the whole place of course. First off, the service was good. The girl was friendly and told me I should come back to try that strawberry drink that was on the sign. Second, I can't judge a drink since I didn't have one so late in the evening, but I did get a piece of coffee cake and it was one of the worst things I have eaten in a long time. It tasted like paste in my mouth... Purely flour , butter and sugar. There was not a texture from a crumble at all. And the cinnamon was a complete afterthought. When I say that it tasted mostly like flour, I am not exaggerating. Lastly, the place definitely is cute inside and it seems to be connected to the Goat by hallway.
