    the front of the daily growler
    Joe F.

    Great news Colin's Coffee fans, the shop reopened inside of the Upper Arlington Daily Growler. The shop serves coffee until 12 PM each day. The new location lacks some of the character of the Golden Bear shop, but makes up for it with a bigger interior and more seating. There is plenty of parking in the new location. I ordered the Buckeye Madness Mocha. The drink was quickly prepared. I opted for white mocha in place of the traditional mocha. The white chocolate flavor was great. I am excited Colin's is back in business and I will be a frequent customer.

    Iced honey lavender latte

    Delicious coffee at a reasonable price and easy order ahead available! I've been getting the honey lavender iced latte and absolutely loving it. Coffee is made by Colin himself and he's so nice and welcoming. Coffee is only to go at the moment, but can't wait for the inside to open up because it looks so cozy.

    Was really excited to try the McRoy breakfast bagel (bacon, egg, cheese on an everything bagel) since everyone seems to rave about it. It hit the spot, so I'd definitely get it again. I like that Colin cut it in half which made eating it much easier. Also got the Golden Bear coffee which had vanilla and honey in it. It had good flavor, but was a bit too sweet for me. Next time I'll know to ask for a smaller pump of syrup but I also wouldn't mind trying other coffees either. Service was fast, although the barista guy didn't notice my order and was quick to socialize with the lady taking orders at the cash register and an apparent regular customer. After waiting a couple minutes, I had to interrupt him to ask if he received my order. He looked down and immediately noticed the cup sitting right there in front of him. He was quick to make it and as he handed me the coffee, he made a weird comment like "sorry you had to wait, I'd give you a free cookie but we don't have any right now." It was a little off putting because I was polite the whole time, but that comment made it seem as if I had given him vibes that I was annoyed and expected some sort of compensation. Regardless, would come back to try other coffees and hopefully have a better interaction with the staff next time. Perhaps the masks play some role, as he probably couldn't see me smiling or follow other facial cues to help him understand I wasn't offended for having to wait an extra minute or two.

    Highly highly recommend!! Such a friendly welcoming atmosphere and great customer service!! Definitely a hole in the wall coffee shop I wish we found sooner. Has a local following and lots of loyal customers and I totally see why!! So sad to see them closing.

    It was very dirty inside, and my bagel had mold on it. I like that it's a small business too, but so what if it's not well run.

    In my opinion, this is some of the best coffee in Grandview. Every drink I've had here is made with…read moreso much care. It's the true definition of artisan coffee. Even the sweeter drinks are never overly sweet. They somehow get the balance just right. I almost always get one of their signature lattes, and the quality is consistently excellent. Whenever I have a friend visiting from out of town, I bring them here, and they always love it too. The atmosphere is another reason I keep coming back. The inside is cozy, comfortable, and unique, there's outdoor seating for beautiful days, and when it's busy, you can also sit inside Natalie's next door. It's basically three different environments to enjoy while still getting the same great coffee. The coffee itself is high quality, you can buy bags of their beans on site, and the entire experience feels like there's real thought behind it. It's hard to beat this place.

    If you were to take a splash of quirky and a dollop of color and mix that into your coffee and put…read moreit into speakeasy form, voila, you'd have this hip newish coffee shop connected to Natalie's in Grandview. I discovered this spot while doomscrolling on Instagram and suggested to a coworker that we pay them a visit during an upcoming coworking day. It was an easy sell and we made our way there on a rainy Friday afternoon. The moment I walked through the door the vibrant shades of blue and pink brightened my mood and I knew we made the right choice. Their menu is really fun... literally it says, "Super Fun Coffee" on it. I'm a sucker for a good seasonal creation so I went with the "Buy Myself Flowers" with oat milk. It has an elderflower, lavender, jasmine syrup in it along with lemon and orange blossom. The floral notes certainly shined through. Not subtle either, but not too in your face. I also ordered a baklava pastry sticky bun kind of thing and oh wow, it was amazing. Honey and pistachio goodness out the wazoo. The coffee and pastry together were seriously magical. A few extra things to note... parking is available in the very back of the building. While the space is on the smaller side, they do open up Natalie's space for extra seating. They close at 2pm only to later open back up as a bar. I did have issues with the wifi while I was there and ended up needing to use my hotspot. Not a deal breaker but good to know if you're planning on bringing your laptop. Lastly, the staff were super sweet, gave recommendations, and brought your coffee to your table, which is always a lovely touch. I'll be back!

    I visit the Cambridge Tea House twice a year when visiting my family in Columbus. It really pains…read moreme to take 2 stars off my normal 5 star experience but hopefully they will read the review (and the feedback I provided to the manager) and use it to return to their 5 star experience. On my most recent visit this month there was a noticeable shift in food quality and service. Our server was new to the team so I give him grace as he ramps up his learning curve. Other issues came from the kitchen. I learned that the tea house is under new management so hopefully they can get up to speed. Issues included: 1)about 45 mins to get our tea. Scones arrived and were eaten before the first drop of tea arrived at our table. Despite being ordered at same time. 2)the orange chicken salad is now shredded instead of ground. It was the unique ground up texture that I loved. I really don't even like chicken salad lol but the old recipe was much better than the new. 3)the carrot salad was basically just carrots with a dollop of dressing in bottom of the cup. The carrots had no dressing on them at all. 4) sausage quiche went half eaten by those who ordered at our table. These may seem like small things but when coupled with multiple requests for water, tea, and waving down the waiter for service it made for a very frustrating visit at what was previously my favorite little restaurant in Columbus. Fortunately the atmosphere is still lovely and the scones, cream and jam were on point.

    This is a fun experience for tea! I've been twice, most recently for lunch on a weekday. This time…read morethe inside was decorated for Christmas and the dishes were Christmas themed as well, which made it feel special. I have not ordered tea service (as I don't actually like tea) but their scones are delightful. I also appreciate being able to sub the side of fruit for all berries due to my pineapple allergy. Reservations are required, there aren't many tables and they don't turn over very quickly. Our lunch took over 90 minutes, with just drinks and lunch ordered. The table next to us had a young girl celebrating her birthday with the kid's tea selection which looked very fun and she was thoroughly enjoying it. They have have a cocktail menu which looked great.

    I wanted to update because I have come here several times. I had a Turkey Avocado on wheat…read moresandwich today and it was really yummy. The sandwiches are in the grab 'n go case. I also got an iced coffee to go. It is beneficial to download their app. You earn points as you purchase, and receive discounts. I used a $3 off offer. The app is great - there are a few offers added at a time but the use by date is the same for all so I try to spread out to use most if not all. You can just scan from your phone to redeem I didn't get one of their fabulous pastries today, but will soon (and use another discount). One thing I noticed today is the add-on's for coffee are $.79, which is pricy, I think. I added almond milk and vanilla syrup to my iced coffee. I was able to stop in Half Price next door. Yay.

    I haven't been thrilled with other locations, because of the pastries. Not that they're awful;…read morethey're just prettier than they are flavorful. I avoided that here by not getting any pastries. It was late anyway, and there weren't many left. We just got cold drinks on a hot day, after a Half Price Books trip. Kid K got a pop. I got a plum gochu lemonade. No spice I could taste. A bit of bite from citrus and mint. A touch of plum sweetness. Refreshing on a hot day. Super friendly and efficient service. Pleasant atmosphere inside. Reasonable prices for this day and age. Parking in the garage for free, but sometimes crowded.
