    I'm always on the hunt for new coffee shops to try. I was pumped when my mom suggested Marib Coffee on a recent trip to Columbus. We got an assortment of drinks and pastries. The strawberry cheesecake was fantastic-- some of the best I've had in a long time. The pistachio cheesecake was also good. The savory cheese pastry was so so good. It tasted sort of like a pizza without marinara. The ambiance and decor are absolutely amazing. I wish I lived close and could work here. Parking is easy in the plaza lot. Bathrooms were very clean. I can't wait to go back and try more!

    I found this great cafe. The service is top notch, the food is awesome and the ambiance is amazing. I love to just go and relax, the inside is beautiful.

    Enough tables

    I like coming here even though it's 25 minutes away. The place is always clean and everyone is pleasant. The prices tend to be on the higher side but still not too bad.

    came here today with a close friend we haven't seen each other and I wanted a nice place to sit and catch up The vibe of this place is gorgeous. It just is so relaxing with the music and the soft white with the gold. The only thing I didn't like was the left side of the had these beautiful booths with these big of beige grass. But the seats were like rock hard they look like they should be soft and comfortable, but it was like sitting on a wood bench. I was not expecting that, and I have to say I looked at the people who were sitting on that side, and every single person looked uncomfortable. I suggested that we sit on the opposite side closer to the register they have a different type of table and chairs, and they looked way more comfortable, and they were even the cushioned booth was actually cushioned. Which to me made no sense why one side would be rockhard another side would actually have soft cushions We both ordered a Spanish style latte, which just is basically using steamed and evaporated milk and we added cinnamon so it's sort of like a Cuban version delicious This place has wonderful bakery. It has really soft delicious croissants. They have the honeycomb pastry. I felt my honeycomb might've been a little stale. I know the difference and know exactly what it's supposed to taste like and I felt these were on their last day of use. That was disappointing. However, my friend loved and raved about her croissant. this is also the place where you can get the fruit and when I say that they're not fruit cakes, like what of at Christmas these are the small cakes with custard inside or moose inside with a little bit of cake shaped various like banana apple passionfruit somewhere in the shape of teddy bears summer cappuccino cup I have had those before and those are crazy good highly recommend those highly recommend the As far as the staff, the staff is really nice very helpful and they make great coffee I recommend this place, but if you're looking for a more comfortable chair, sit on the right side of the dining room versus the pretty left side

    The inside is absolutely beautiful and great for pictures. Even their drinks and pastries are made for pictures. There's a decent amount of seating inside and a lot of free parking in the lot. It fills up quickly and gets busy, especially because they're open late. The seats aren't super comfy but they're nice. There's short coffee tables and normal tables to use as well. It gets very busy, so at certain times, you may not get a seat and people stay for a bit of time. It also gets very loud inside with conversations but they also played the music pretty loud, and if you're studying or working, I would bring ear buds or headphones. We got a few drinks to try and a few pastries to try. The drinks were good, flavorful, and made well. I would recommend the drinks and trying their specialty drinks. The pastries were a bit expensive for what they are but they're pretty good. We didn't see any prices listed by their pastries, so we didn't know until we ordered or asked. Overall, their food is good and it's a cool place to hang out and get cafe drinks and pastries. Overall, a decent place for good drinks, decent pastries and sweets, and cool place for a casual date, small group, or just a pretty place to hang out.

    I found this place on Yelp. And boy was I glad I did. The coffee tasted amazing. The staff were friendly and helpful. The decor was perfect. And lastly. The cheesecake was amazing. I just can't say enough about it. It is right off the freeway. So the access is just fine. It's located in a strip mal. So parking is plentiful.

    This place is clean and beautifully decorated. There are plenty of tables for a large group to hang out. There is also a small section for small private parties or meeting areas. I wanted to order the Tiramisu latte, but they were out of ingredients. So, I ended up ordering the pistachio latte. The latte was ok; it could have been a little sweet. I also ordered the Biscoff milk cake, which was also ok. Overall, this place is pretty to look at with overpriced coffee. I don't see myself coming back here, especially with so many coffee shops around like Shibam or Qamaria.

    Marib Coffee has all the viral and trending treats! We went specifically for the chocolate tiramisu cup. It was our favorite item of the night. We were recommended to add a double shot of espresso to the cup and that was perfect. We ended up trying the viral fruit shape mousses as well. We got the mango and the peach. The mango had mango mousse inside and a very little amount of cake and mango puree. The exterior was white chocolate. The peach had vanilla mousse inside and the peach puree was minimal and very frozen inside, which was not optimal. It had little to no peach flavor. All the items are very pretty to look at, but the viral fruit pastries were nothing to write home about. The exterior white chocolate was too sweet. They were $15 each and very overpriced. The drinks were good, my cousin enjoyed the tiramisu latte, but it could have been sweeter. The interior ambiance is very nice and well decorated. There are little spots with dividers for people who want some privacy for work or study. There is also one room for larger sized groups. The staff was very nice and welcoming. Overall, I would go to try a treat and drinks, but once in a while as the prices are excessive.

    Dessert display!  Sooo many options

    Who would have thought 7 PM on a Sunday and it's crowded! Due to it being busy, I wouldn't come here to study in but more for a social gathering. The name says it all, specializes in coffee but non coffee drinks available. I went with the Iced Pistachio Latte. It was rich in flavor and not too sweet. Deserts look amazing! Wanted to try everything but settled on the Pistachio Cheesecake. I'm a sucker for pistachio. The cheesecake had a nice creamy texture. The pistachio wasn't overbearing actually wished for more. Lots of seating around and a Private room available for groups. Will be back to try more food and drinks!

    Ok yummy yummy. Can we take a second for this place? This was on my coffee trail exploration list with my best friend. We have been wanting to try it. I got the banana latte. So may fun flavors. My oh my! I will definitely be back. Perfect lil location right off the highway or by Westerville by the hospital or golf range. The staff was kind. It was kinda dirty, the place definitely needed cleaning I must say. That would be the only complaint, it was pretty obvious. Even at 9:30 AM in the morning. Please do not come here if you are in a hurry. It did take 15 minutes to get my coffee, quite a wait. But well worth it, very fresh. Not a fake banana flavor, very real. I will try another flavor next time! My friend got the Biscoff Cookie Latte, so delicious, I know she loved it! Prices were kinda pricey, but you get what you get. I loved the dried banana pieces, so aesthetic.

    Biscoff and caramel and a pot of Mint tea

    Cozy, warm ambiance with plenty of seating. Wide array of pastries, cakes and the dubai chocolate desert in a cup. We tried a couple of cakes that are soaked in millk, both were very good and not overly sweet. We paired with a pot of mint tea. Though we didn't try, they also have the viral fruit pastries at $13 each. It tends to be busy especially at night it becomes a hang out so noise level is loud. Overall, a nice coffee shop! Happy tummy

    Finally made it to Marib after seeing it allll over social media. I have to say, it lives up to the vibes. Marib is beautiful inside, with a peaceful atmosphere. They have plenty of menu options, for coffee lovers and those who prefer non coffee drinks as well. I went with a strawberry mojito since I wasn't in a coffee mood, my husband got some kind of latte. Both drinks were really good, though pricey. We also tried a couple dessert options, a milk cake and kanafa (I hope I spelled it right) . We did enjoy the desserts as well. One thing I felt was missing was descriptions of the drinks. They have soo many options and I felt like I was holding up the line by asking what things were. It would also be nice for all of the desserts to be labeled.

    This little shop is beautiful! It doesn't look like much from the outside due to it being in a strip mall, but they really did a beautiful job on the decor. The menu board pricing is not accurate - about $1+ less than what they actually charge you at the register. The cost is also expensive. Maybe they're going for the upscale/luxury coffee shop feel. I ordered an iced strawberry matcha latte and it was $9.20! Maybe $6 but phew. The employees are kind and service took about 5 minutes. There is only one barista and one cashier, so if it gets busy, it will take a lot longer. The cafe area is beautiful and there is a lot of seating for studying, working, or even a business meeting. Overall, it was great to stop in and check it out. I'm not sure I will be back due to the cost and not being wowed by the drink.

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!

Stopped by this morning for a hot mocha made with almond milk and their breakfast sandwich on an English muffin with chicken sausage, and it was outstanding. The place was pretty packed even at midmorning on a weekday, which is always a good sign. The sandwich came hot right off the grill, fresh, flavorful, and really hit the spot for breakfast. The English muffin had a nice toasted finish, the egg was cooked just right, and the chicken sausage gave it a great savory bite.

There's boardroom style tables as well as lounge/conversation set ups. There's little nooks for little ones and high chairs available. I liked that the space to order is right up front and off to the side so you can walk in easily and get your order for take away or venture into the seating area. The coffee, unfortunately, left a bit to be desired. My iced coffee wad mostly milk with a whisper of espresso in the background. The syrups are not homemade and this particular brand of lavender was a bit too sweet but also bitter. This is certainly the place to come with a group or small children on a rainy day. Maybe not that place for a lavender latte.

I still decided to utilize their walk up window simply because I had a car full of dogs and I didn't want them to miss me. The window is pretty easy. It does have an awning, but it doesn't really work very well when it's raining cause it's a little narrow and width. However, the barista prioritized me standing in the rain and quickly took my order I told her I was gonna go back and wait in the car because I had a car full of dogs. When my coffee was ready, she noticed that I was getting attention to my dogs and she decided to hand-deliver my coffee to my car. It's a little things like that that make a difference to somebody's day. Whoever does a hiring at this location has a talent for picking the best people.

Where my two stars come from is the area is very cute and the staff was friendly and service was quick. That is unfortunately where the good ends.

I'm not sure if it was made wrong or what (did not have the faintest coffee taste), however paying $7 for a small beverage without any cold foams or things to make it fancy, I'd at least expect it to be tasty. Very disappointing and won't be back.

There is a fish option too that alot of people came in and ordered. I wish I tried the fish because that's what seemed to be the most popular but the chicken was a grand slam. The noodles are home made and have the texture of a wide Thai noodle but is the size of a lasagna noodle. These noodles hold a ton of the spices and compliment the dish very well. I did not see anything related to a deli other than two empty deli cases. I'm not sure if it use to be a deli or is only a deli at certain times of the day.
