Cute little coffee shop in downtown Powell that used One Line Coffee beans. Very small parking lot, and not much space inside to sit either. I ordered the honeycomb latte (honey + vanilla) and it was just okay. The coffee was watered down so it didn't have much flavor. It tasted less like a latte and more like iced coffee. Probably won't be returning. read more

Espresso 22 - Iced honeycomb latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Powell, Ohio

The former Mean Bean location has delicious iced coffee and friendly thoughtful staff.

Espresso 22 is a really nice local coffee shop with a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. The drinks are usually made well, and I like that they have a good variety of coffee flavors and breakfast options. It's a great place to stop if you want to support a local business instead of going to a big chain. The biggest downside is that it can be a little slow when they're busy, especially if you're using the drive-thru. Parking is also kind of limited, so getting in and out can be a little annoying at peak times. The drinks are good, but they can be a bit pricey compared to some other coffee shops. Overall, it's a solid local spot with great coffee, friendly people, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try, especially if you have a little extra time to enjoy it. read more

OMG THIS PLACE IS ADORABLE AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I HAVENT BEEN!!! It is located right in the heart of downtown Powell. Perfect location. It used to be an old house and bank. So cute. I love the vibes inside. Largest menu with fall and seasonal drinks I have ever seen. I got an iced maple butter latte and it was to die for. I will be back for sure. Thank you for all your business for Powell!! The staff was so kind. They have food as well, I will have to try it next time! read more

I would definitely come here again. I got stood up for a meeting and yet, it was okay. This place has a great vibe with an amazing crew that seems to welcome locals and outsiders. It was like coming to a Cheers version of Starbucks. Free Wi-Fi, great smoothies and an amazing vibe! Come here to get work done and enjoy the ambiance of being in a local town and also feeling welcome. read more

Cute little shop, with great prices. The coffee has an authentic flavor that you just won't find at the big box stores. They offer a nice selection of breakfast sandwiches. Definitely worthwhile to stop in. read more

Charlotte is always very sweet as my coffee and her kindness rubs off for my day. Everyone is very nice and cozy atmosphere for studying.

Not bad. Stopped by to try them out while in the area. I ordered a 12oz mocha with an extra shot, the extra shot was $2. The drink was decent, a little bitter, but definitely strong. With the extra shot though it was a little more expensive than comparable places. Service in the drive thru was fast and friendly. It's not a bad spot, but I don't know that I would go out of my way for it. read more

We stopped here while in town, and wow it was great! The staff were all so kind and friendly. Very many drink/flavor options. A very cute little coffee shop. The drive through is a nice addition! read more

My husband found this place and we have been getting pickup for a while now. They are currently under renovations and are operating on drive thru only right now. I've only ever had their vanilla latte. The hot and the cold are both wonderful! Great flavor, great coffee and great price! If you haven't, I would recommend going here the next time you think you want Starbucks! ;) read more

Great spot to work! Chai is good iced or hot and I love that they have decaf iced coffee. The employees are super friendly and helpful. So much better than Sbx! read more

A staple coffee spot in Powell to say the least. My parents come to Espresso every Saturday and/or Sunday to sit and have coffee together. When I am in town, I am instantly joining them or driving through to get some iced coffee for myself. Their menu is huge with selections of coffees and syrups to make any combination your heart desires. They also have yummy breakfast foods- the muffins are my favorites. The girls who work here are always so kind and seem to enjoy their job which is always a good thing to see in the morning. Could not recommend this little place enough! read more

I visited my sister during July 4 holiday. I'm very picky about my coffee and I do not care for the major chains. I googled local coffee houses and this popped up closest to my sister which was about 5 miles away. This place is absolutely amazing. I found this place on my second day and went back every morning. I completely forgot to take photos so I apologize. Support local business and visit this place. It won't disappoint! read more

Took a venture to Powell Ohio to check out an Antique Mall and of course I find a local coffee shop in what looks like a former bank. Espresso 22 is proudly brewing One Line Coffee and making a tradition macchiato. They have a wide menu of coffees, lattes and cappuccino both hot and iced, with your choice of flavors. They also serve wraps, flatbreads and breakfast sandwiches and a variety of baked goods. The inside is bright and open thanks to all the windows. Real plants around the space add to the peaceful feel. It's very clean and has lots of seating. The barista today was wonderful. She took the time to explain the drinks and all the differences. Thanks for helping to make us better coffee pros! Next time I'm in or heck around Powell, I'll be back to espresso 22. read more

Espresso 22 - Traditional Macchiato! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Powell, Ohio

Our local coffee shop in Powell. Happy to bop over here when we need a fix, buy some beans (they will grind for you and give you a discount on your drink!), or get out of the house. They have a nice seating area inside but do not have wall outlets near every seat where you would want them. And def some preferred spots (a bit more private, wall outlets nearby, good seat) and others (the cushy chairs by the bathrooms aren't really designed to sit and work, also not great outlets around there). Last bit (not Espresso 22's fault but) some other customers will come in and be so loud with headphones on and oblivious to you trying to work. read more

While visiting my cousin long before COVID, we spent an afternoon antique shopping. The best way to wrap up our day was with delicious lattes. Espresso 22 is adorable inside and out. It looks reminiscent of an old house from long ago. Inside it feels cozy and inviting. And yes it felt like we were sipping our beverages in someone's living room. The young guy behind the counter was all smiles. He was sweet and helpful as we decided on flavors. He didn't rush us as my cousin bounced back and forth from all of the decadent choices. My cousin loved her white chocolate and I fell for the peppermint. The barista certainly knew what they were doing as our beverages were expertly created. Our lattes were piping hot, creamy and divine. Nestled in an adorable shopping area filled with tons of boutiques and antique shops, Espresso 22 is the perfect spot to begin or complete a day of shopping. I can't wait to return! read more

Espresso 22 is the best place in Powell for coffee. It has a small dining area inside. They also have a drive thru. It also has some food. The employees there are pretty nice too. I had a latte with almond milk. It's about $3 for the regular size. That is a pretty good price for this. If you're hungry they also serve breakfast. This is available all day too. I had a bagel with hummus. It's about $3 and comes with a generous amount of hummus. The bagel isn't that special but the combination is good though. Better food than expected from a place that primarily sells coffee. Other food options include salads and sandwiches. I would go here again. It's the best coffee and maybe the best breakfast in Powell. The atmosphere is enhanced by an easy hip music soundtrack. read more

Cute coffee shop with a good food menu. It was quiet inside and everyone was respectful of those working. The staff was nice and working very efficiently. Our coffee and food was ready in only a few minutes. They have tons of natural lighting and plants everywhere! read more

Espresso 22 - Breakfast sandwich and Iced latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Powell, Ohio

No more Starbucks for me. This place is local, friendly and fantastic. Coffee is solid, much better than the mass produced dreck served elsewhere. Offerings are not vast but expansive enough to meet everyone's needs. Breakfast sandwiches are great, they've even got a naan bread option. read more

The coffee is generally good, but due to the drive through it doesn't always seem like you get focused customer service. The warmth you get from small town coffee shops that aren't split between in-house and drive through is a lot friendlier feeling read more

While trying to find a spot to eat in Powell, we stumbled upon this place. We figured we grab some caffeine for a little pick me up right before getting some food. It's a quaint little coffee shop that has a slightly rustic visual aesthetic. There's a nice patio where I saw people gathered and enjoying the beautiful day that we had. The establishment looks as though it used to be a bank. I saw that they had a drive-thru so this was perfect as we did not feel like getting out. It's not like your typical drive-thru where you order at a speaker first and then get your order at the window. You have to pull up to the window and order and wait there until they fix it. It didn't take long for us to get our drinks so that was awesome. I got a iced caramel latte. I'm not sure what type of coffee bean that they use, all I can tell you is that it's pretty strong. Normally when you get a caramel latte from a coffee place, the sweetness is over powering. The thing I was not a fan with is that you can taste the syrup that they. You know how you get a flavored coffee beverage and you can taste the slightly bitter after taste of the syrup used? That's what this was like. Customer service was freaking phenomenal. They were super pleasant and very expedient. read more

Coffee was not very flavorful for a frozen mocha latte. Ambience was nice, but for a weekday afternoon, it was not real fast service.

Just a quick review. Cool little place up Powell. Just got frozen mocha. Tastes great and only $4 with really no wait. If I was in Powell more I'd definitely stop by. read more

This is a staple for Powell. Great location, very polite staff, and the espresso is great. The only reason it's not 5 stars for me is due to the lack luster drip brew. I'm an avid dark roast drinker and I've never had a good cup of it from Espresso 22. But as the name implies...I don't think drip coffee is their bag. Other positives: great wifi, good selection of food, and plentiful natural light. read more

This coffee shop does not deserve the name espresso 22 if they do not know how to properly make espresso drinks. When ordering a latte I was served with "espresso cold brew" but anyone that has ever had experience with espresso knows that it cannot be prepared in advance. The shots burn and become bitter. There is no difference between a normal coffee bean and an espresso bean; the difference occurs in the preparation. The coffee was prepared poorly and tasted weak as the espresso became bitter and lost the decadent, rich espresso flavor as it sat in the "cold brew". A disgrace to all espresso shops. read more

First time trying Epsresso 22 and will not be returning. Staff was kind and helpful but the coffee was terrible, would have rather gone to Starbucks. Ordered a vanilla iced latte and a caramel iced latte with almond milk. After ordering I asked how many shots came in the latte and was told it was actually half cold brew and half milk, so am unsure why it was listed as a latte. It was also quite pricey ($9.50 for 2 16 oz drinks) considering it was only half cold brew. The syrups had no flavor. The cold brew with almond milk came chunky and was undrinkable. Maybe their other drinks are better, but will not be ordering an iced latte (cold brew) again. read more

Very fast and generous service. Coffee is very good. Nice neat environment to get work done or just enjoy your coffee. read more

Espresso 22 - Iced white mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Powell, Ohio

Very good coffee. Strong and savory. Probably better than Starbucks. And best of all you're supporting a local establishment :)

I arrived 5 minutes after closing (I didn't know when they closed) and was greeted by an extremely rude woman who opened the window, shouted we're closed and slammed the window in my face. As someone who frequently travels here from out of state, this used to be a frequent stop but I simply do not deal with rude employees. read more

Great little coffee shop in Powell. They had a good variety of pastries and drinks. I tried their London Fog very tasty by the way. We tried their pastries not exactly sure what they were they were a cross between a brownie and biscotti. The service was quick, fast and friendly. read more

Espresso 22 - London fog. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Powell, Ohio

Espresso 22 is an oh so lovely cafe in Powell, OH. The cafe is airy and light with the entire west wall full of windows. The seating area isn't huge, but there's a mix of bar seating, small tables, bench seating, and armchairs. If you don't always have your headphones in, like me, there's an awesome playlist playing softly in the background.  Conversations are at a hush and I feel productive just being here; am I meditating right now? There's a variety of breakfast foods, flat breads & wraps, salads, and sweets offered on their regular menu. In addition, there are daily specials such as "nutella latte" or "london fog latte" highlighted on a chalkboard wall in pretty script. Staff is friendly and patiently helpful and readily offer customization/recommendations to suite their customers' taste. All this despite handling the drive-thru and dine-in cafe solo. I've seen some complaints about parking situation and while it is less than what most suburban establishments offer, there's a cute little drive-thru and plenty of open street parking in the area. This place is worth the drive-around-the-block parking dance, people! Powell is 20 minutes north of where I call home, but if I'm planning another work date with my laptop, this cafe is my top pick. read more

I've come here a quite few times recently with friends and I like it enough to give it solid 3.5 to 4 stars. Pros: friendly staff. Cozy place. Adequate seating for when we come here. Usually during the day. I saw complaints about parking but I personally have been lucky the few times I came here. Cons: not a big fan of donuts here but they are ok. They are not made in house. The roasts here are good but noticed some variations between medium and dark. I guess for now I'll stick with the dark roast. I'm yet to try the nutella latte. I'm also yet to try their flatbreads and breakfast. For now I like this hidden gem in the heart of historic downtown Powell. Will definitely be back. read more

Definitely best coffee in Powell! Friendly, knowledgeable staff who are happy to customize your order. Highly recommend

Love Espresso22! I've gone through the drive-thru a few mornings as it's located right next to my little one's school, and also popped in for some quiet reading/working time with my husband. The employees are always friendly and make great coffee drinks. The prices are on par with other coffee shops, and the space is beautiful! I love the bright light and cozy chairs. Definitely a great stop for coffee & pastries if you're in the area! read more

Terrific place to sit back. Perfect except I'd love them to add avocado toast to the menu.

Very friendly service by all staff and I got a great Latte for a reasonable price, try the Biscotti

Went here today for the first time and found the place to be okay. The coffee was fine, but not excellent. It's obviously better than a Starbucks or other chain like that, but not the same quality as fox in the snow or mission coffee. They had a decent mix of food items, we got a blueberry muffin that was good. It wasn't very busy inside and there was plenty of seating. Two comfy chairs, maybe 10 tables and a nice little sunny nook with high top chairs. As far as accessibility is concerned, there is a drive thru. To get inside there is a ramp, but you have to go through two sets of doors to get in and there's no automatic door button. All in all I don't know that I'd go back unless I was already out that way. Nothing super special, but it's an alright cup of coffee if you're out that way! read more

Place is quiet, calm, and relaxing. Coffee smells great! Ordered an americano and wife a mocha with soy. Both are really good!! Location is a cute house. It's on a busy street where you either have to know the town to drive around or be patient and ignore traffic behind you as you wait to turn left at a light without a turn arrow or turn lane. They do have a drive thru. read more

Espresso 22 - Sign and side of building - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Powell, Ohio

The Mean Bean in Powell -- an offshoot of the original Delaware, OH location -- is a nice enough place to pass the time. You might come in for the advertised free Wi-Fi, but you won't end up needing it. The city of Powell has town-wide free wireless that trumps the building's puny network. Inevitably, you'll stick around and order something. Here's a hint at what you can expect. Drink/food: Their coffee is strong, if not particularly nuanced. They have the usual array of beverages. Nothing breaks any new ground. They do have some tasty food. Gigantic scones and cookies make an easy grab for customers' attention. I like the lemon pound cake. Yum. The croissant sandwiches also look good. They're supplied by a lauded restaurant in Delaware. Atmosphere: The building is tiny and not much to look at. Funnily enough, these work in the shop's favor. Particle board floors give the place a rustic hole-in-the-wall feel. A comfy couch can be found in one corner. There is also a loft in the front of the shop that goes nowhere. It would be even better if it did. Allison was working when I stopped in. She is very, very friendly. They have a drive-up window -- an oddity for a downtown coffee house like this. A chain like Starbucks or Caribou opening in the up-and-coming Powell town center is more than likely. Check out this real-deal shop. read more
