I had wanted to try this place last time I was in town, and unfortunately didn't make it. (I live…read moreout of state.) So this time, it was my first coffee shop stop! I am so glad I didn't miss it this go around! The place is so cute. It's bright and open. The pastries are beautifully displayed as soon as you walk in, and beautiful they are!! One of our faves was the strawberries and crème morning bun! OMGeee perfection! The strawberries and crème were filled all the way top to bottom, not like lots of places that just put a small amount in the center that you have to eat dry pastry forever to get to! And the sugary bun itself was so good! Apparently strawberries were the theme because we also got the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk and it was Al's scrumptious! The ham and cheese pastry was really good, but also really salty... so that one depends on your cholesterol ;) I mean love of salt. The service was so quick and everyone was really nice! We will definitely be back!

We didn't end up eating here because there wasn't a place to sit so we ordered coffee to go!! We both got an iced brown sugar latte- simple but delicious!! Wish u had gotten a pastry to go because they look to die for!!! I also really appreciate how they show their allergens in every item online so that you don't have to ask about everything! The atmosphere was lively, workers nice, people friendly!!! The CBUS natives seem to be die hards for this place and I can see why! I will hopefully be back soon to try some food, because I've heard lovely things about that too!! Definitely recommend giving this place a visit if you are in the area!! Enjoy!!

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!

They have been viral for a while so I waited to come by! The last time I drove by, there was a line…read moreout the door at 10:30am on a Saturday so I decided to come back around 8:30am instead. Seems everyone else I saw there knew to do the same thing. There were a handful of people sitting inside or grabbing drinks to go. Easier to find parking in the morning too. Parallel and in their parking lot. I got an iced vanilla latte as well as the biscoff cookie butter latte. I was expecting the drinks to be super sweet, but they were well balanced and you could taste the espresso! I see why everyone has been waiting in line! Haha! Service was good. They were quick. I also got a cheddar scone which was delicious. It's hard to find a solid coffee shop with good espresso. Putting them on my favorites list!

How could we be so lucky!!!! The staff were so welcoming, kind, and patient. Their whole vibe just gives a sense of calm. The dessert and coffee--just WOW! The the delicate macarons had the perfect intensity of flavor. I also tried the poundcake slice--this was the perfect accompaniment to my coffee. Its texture was reminiscent of the exterior of a French Canelé (which if you know is divine!!) Lastly I got their most popular drink, the Einspänner. This was so delightful. The sweet cream with a touch of cocoa powder made this almost like drinking a tiramisu!! I cannot wait to go back!!

Fell into the hype and finally tried this place out. We weren't the only ones as the line was…read morealmost out the door. The ordering went by quickly which is a huge win. Everything looked so good but we limited ourselves to one pastry each. Blueberry Gallete and Everything Danish were the winners. Great choices! The sugar sprinkles around the Blueberry Gallete put it over the top! There were so many blueberries you got a piece in every bite. The Everything Danish was good but was tad crisp. The chive cream cheese on top was so great I'm glad there was more than I would normally want. Drinks were good but took longer than we had hoped. There was only 1 barista but she was working hard with all the orders coming in. I enjoyed the latte art but sadly we got cold drinks. I enjoyed the offered seasonal flavors such as Gingerbread. I did notice that matcha was sitting in a carafe ready to go if someone was ready to order. Not sure how I feel about that as it can get clumpy waiting around. Seating can be a bit tough during peak hours. There are two communal type tables in the middle which are nice for larger groups. Outdoor patio seating as well but not on these colder winter days. Team was super friendly! Will come back again and actually enjoy a coffee and pastry there. Tip: Blueberry Gallete is soo flaky and buttery do not eat it in the car. lol. I got three huge flakes on my sweater as I took a bite. Well worth it.

And the barista even offered me a discount for veterans. The interior of the shop is well designed. There are cozy and moody areas for sitting up front as well as a smaller back room that is well lit for studying. Only 4 stars because it closes at 2pm. It would be preferable if they were available as a local option to have a late lunch or afternoon coffee meeting.

YE Gurl Says: A Mid-Afternoon Find at Restoration Roastery…read more February 24th, around 1:30 PM, I set out for a quick downtown coffee run -- or rather, a coffee walk -- and ended up discovering Restoration Roastery. This place feels like a labor of love. From what I could see that afternoon, it's run by a couple who clearly put intention into the space and were both present during my visit. The result is a medium-sized, intimate coffee bistro with a lot of character. Drapery softens different seating areas, some sections are roped off to create cozy pockets, and the walls feature photos of Columbus from decades past -- a quiet reminder of the downtown that existed before today's skyline. There's also a small stage with instruments, which I later learned hosts jam sessions now and will likely see more regular entertainment going forward. Shelves hold games and books, along with coffee-enthusiast tools and wares for sale. It's the kind of place that invites you to linger. Ironically, I arrived without realizing I had walked in just minutes before closing. Still, the space had a steady rhythm -- a few meetings happening, some City Hall and courthouse folks stopping in -- which tells me this spot probably gets a good flow of weekday foot traffic. My order: * Organic lavender oat milk latte * Sticky bun (heated) The sticky bun was excellent -- warm, soft, and not overwhelmingly sweet like some of the ones at Fox in the Snow. The latte started out lovely, but toward the bottom I noticed a stronger bitterness from the organic lavender syrup. Not a deal breaker, just a note to myself: I might try the non-organic syrup next time to see if the flavor balances differently. Pricing for both items was right in line with other Columbus coffee shops. The owners and staff were friendly, and the historical photos and building details were genuinely interesting. The building itself has some history worth exploring -- it once housed the Center for Christian Virtue, among other uses. If you're someone who enjoys learning about the stories behind Columbus spaces, it's worth paying attention to. One small practical note: the website currently doesn't list a menu, which might be helpful for first-time visitors planning their stop. My only moment of mild anxiety came from realizing I had ordered "for here" about fifteen minutes before closing while planning to take a call -- timing just didn't work out. That was on me, not the vibe of the place. YE Gurl says: Restoration Roastery feels like one of those downtown spots that grows into its identity over time -- part café, part gathering space, part quiet nod to Columbus history. If you're nearby, wander in and see if it's your kind of coffee corner. Sometimes the best finds happen when you're just out for a walk.
