I believe each location is separately owned, so it's not a chain, it's a local small business you are supporting by shopping there.

Naturally, I returned with the same expectations. Unfortunately every time after the first, the staff has been pretty short and cold. They don't seem interested in talking and are almost annoyed that you're there. The chocolates are great & the history of the company is pretty cool, but I must say that it's hard to keep returning after feeling so unwelcome.

I've heard nothing but great things about this cafe, so my expectations were high - I'm happy to…read morereport that this place is worth the hype! We were gifted tickets for the German Village picnic Giftory experience which gave us two macarons of our choosing and two vanilla shortbread cookies for free. We chose the raspberry chambord and pistachio macarons while also ordering two pistachio cloud matchas. All of the desserts were excellent. The raspberry macaron was very fruit forward while the pistachio was more subdued, but still had a spot on flavor. Even with sugar coating the shortbread cookies, the touch of vanilla made them taste light. I could easily see myself eating far too many of those. The star of the show was the matcha. 10/10! I've never had a pistachio flavored drink, so I was a little hesitant, but wow, I'm glad I ordered it! The matcha base wasn't overly sweet nor was the pistachio foam overly salty. Perfect mix of sweet and savory. Even thought the line was out the door, it moved at a decent pace and our drinks didn't take too long to receive. I'd like to try the strawberry matcha next time, but I'm not sure if I can pass up the pistachio Highly recommend!

I think the issue is with the chocolate they use for the mocha but it had such an odd flavor that I couldn't bring myself to finish it. The croissant was fine and not memorable and I won't say too much on the macaron because I think I just realized I'm not really a macaron person so I can't fairly judge them there. The cafe is itty bitty and there is absolutely no seating inside so it's more of a grab and go situation. There are a few seats outside so hopefully you can snag a seat when the weather is nicer. Overall, I think there are a lot of other good coffee shops in Columbus that I don't see myself going out of my way to come 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!!

My brother got the BLT on white with a side of bacon (because who doesn't love more bacon??) - he ate every crumb on the plate!!

They have books for sale featuring Columbus Authors, jewelry, etc. staff is smiling and bubbly and the vibe reminds me of a simple homey type of shop... not bougie, at all, which is refreshing. There is also a subtle Pueto Rican influence here. You can Puerto Rican coffee beans, rice as well as order a fresh empanada. This adds to the uniqueness of the shop. The coffee we had today was brewed with beans called Black Swamp and were roasted in The Toledo area. It was one of the smoothest cups of coffee I have had in a long time.

I was excited bc the barista actually made the matcha fresh vs a pre batched matcha concentrate which I do not like. They had some little snacks you could buy, some Kokomo merch, and other random little things. They had a good menu. The basics plus a little more which I appreciate bc when a coffee shop has too large of a menu, usually quality is compromised somewhere. My matcha was pretty good. I got a strawberry matcha latte with oat milk. They use strawberry syrup which wasn't bad at all. And the matcha wasn't bitter and grassy. My friend got the drip coffee and she really liked it. I believe it's Latina owned and lgbtq friendly which is always a plus for me. I'll definitely be back when I'm back in the area
