I'm amazed by their pour-over!!! Reminds me of my favorite coffee shop in Seattle... It was an expensive cup ($15) but it makes up for it: it was so complex, surprising, and not what most people would expect from coffee. Hands down the best coffee in Cleveland.

The Proof Is In The Cup!
All of the coffees that we offer are roasted by us, by hand, everyday. Our profile method of roasting coffee in small batches allows us to concentrate on the best roast and flavor profile for each varietal and origin. You will not experience coffees of higher quality, consistency, or freshness.
What Others Are Saying
It's a great coffee shop, but if you want to park, the lot behind Stauf's is now a pay lot, which is a bummer. Although Stauf's cannot control this, I don't want to pay $2 for parking just to get a coffee if there isn't off-street parking. Before I do that, I'll go to Starbucks.

It was very rude of the guy at the Cafe to yell at another customer very badly. He has to use a kiosk to buy food.

think global. buy local.
Better coffee means a lot of different things to different people. To us it means flavor and quality, sustainability, and traceability. Every day, we work towards this transparent model of sourcing, traveling to origin as often as possible to find coffees, monitor farms and workers, and learn the stories of the people who grow our coffee. By buying and brewing our coffees, you help us move a little closer to that goal.
What Others Are Saying
Located in downtown Columbus, this is a charming coffee shop. I loved Milligan's maple latte, which was incredibly flavorful and delicious. My latte went perfectly with the soft, crumbly coffee cake. Throughout my stay here, the staff was professional, courteous, and hardworking. I'll definitely be back again!

A bit of Classic to start your day.
Come by and try our house coffee and enjoy the old school style diner that still looks like it did when it was established. We serve breakfast and lunch everyday and the place is always packed on the weekends. We're known for our Western Omelet, the club sandwich, and a whole bunch more lunch options, including delicious daily specials.
