We went here with friends on a Saturday afternoon while we were doing a Columbus food crawl. The place was surprisingly busy for an afternoon. I wasn't expecting that. There were only a few spots available to sit so my husband went and found us a table while we ordered. He also found a deck of Giant Uno cards that ended up being the source of many laughs while we enjoyed our coffee there. He had the Turkish coffee. I had the Jabani and a piece of caramel milk cake. I had a couple of bites of the cake and it was fantastic! Love that as you put your fork into the milk just oozed out. The rest I took home to enjoy later. The coffee was good. Very hot. I love that it stays hot the whole time you're there and not just for 5 minutes like most places. We bought a bag of beans to take home. Can't wait to use those. The place is absolutely beautiful and the restroom is something to see. Plenty of photo ops. Take some time and stop in to enjoy this place. We'll definitely be back when in the area again. read more

I stopped by Matari in the evening to get some work done. I appreciate that it's a coffee shop with late hours (open until 10:00pm). The cafe was quite busy with a small crowd watching the World Cup. Still, there was a small section at the front of the cafe that was quiet and perfect to work. I tried the traditional Yemeni coffee since it was my first visit. The clerk recommended this as what they are known for. It did not disappoint! I like my coffee drinks a bit more on the bitter side so I will order it 1/2 sweet in the future. The cafe itself is beautiful, bright, clean and comfortable. read more

Located in a little plaza near campus, it's a good place to come study and get some good drinks. There's a decent amount of parking in the lot and around the area. Inside there's a decent amount of seats and tables but it's always very busy and sometimes hard to find a spot. The cafe is bright, pretty, lively, and pretty cool. We've come a few times and have tried a few different things. I think the drinks are usually made well and are flavorful. I like their matchas but feel like they could use a bit more matcha. Their other drinks are usually strong and can be bitter based on the roast. I think the pastries are pretty good as well. I feel like a few cafes around town have similar if not the same pastries and they're all pretty good. I like the creamcheese in the Honeycomb pastry, it's a good balance to the honey. The pistachio milk cake is pretty good but I wish it was more pistachio flavored. I think everything is pretty good, it's just a little expensive. I would love to buy and try more but it is a treat to come. Overall, it's a good place for drinks, a sweet treat, or to get some work done. There are limited outlets around the cafe and not many large tables. Good place for casual dates, studying alone, or a very small group. It gets a bit loud with conversations and music, but people playing headphones and earbuds. Staff is usually very nice and answer questions. Once they made us the wrong order and made up for it, which was very kind. read more

I recently discovered this fairly new Yemeni coffee shop on Instagram and I'm so glad I did. I quickly made plans with a coworker to go check it out and get some work done on a Friday and it was absolutely lovely. For starters, the space itself is beautiful. Bright natural light, marble floors, sleek seating including a wall of booths, a large sign spelling out their name Matari coffee, and murals on the wall. As for drinks, they have an array of classic Yemeni coffee and matcha options, as well as creative and unique options like the pistachio latte or banana matcha. I opted for a seasonal tiramisu latte with oatmilk and it was fabulous and certainly easy on the eyes. It even came with a small cookie on top for dipping. As for food, their dessert case was filled with beautiful treats like the super popular fruit mousse cakes and macarons. I went with a pistachio croissant and it was great. Super moist and flakey with just the right amount of pistachio cream inside with a dollop of the same cream on top sprinkled with pistachio crumble. I'll end with a few extra details. The wifi was strong and I had no issues at all. There's a parking lot out front and while it was fairly packed when I arrived, there was plenty of space. The bathroom was very clean. The service was awesome. They accidentally made me an iced coffee inside of a hot one and quickly offered to fix it. I really didn't care so I went with the iced one but I appreciated their willingness to make it right. Their coffee prices were pretty on par with other spots, but their desserts were a bit pricey... understandably because my goodness, just look at them. I'll definitely be back. read more

There are ton of these types of coffee shops popping up around town. You definitely have your pick of them. They are becoming a dime a dozen. The parking lot is busy and it's narrow. I do appreciate that they had prices on their bakery items. That was super helpful. I got an iced matcha mango with cold foam. The cold foam was plain flavored and not mango like it showed in the picture. The mango didn't mix very well into the matcha. It was good as it was a real mango puree but as a combined drink it was meh. read more

De-li-cious! As a grad student, I'm always on the hunt for a coffee spot that is 1) open late and 2) has creamy,yummy, delicious coffee and Matari meets both those criteria! The staff working the counter are very nice and able to accommodate my request. Big plus that they have decaf! I've already been back since my first visit and have recommended it to my friends. I have yet to try their pastries but their case was full of delectable treats. The only downside is they are on the pricier side... maybe one day I'll give them a try as I will surely be back. That tiramisu latte has not left my mind! read more

Oh, my gosh I must say this is the most beautiful coffee shop i've seen in Columbus. It screams elegance. The chairs are beautiful. It is a Yemen coffee shop. The atmosphere of this coffee shop just makes you want to sit in there all day.. This coffee shop just recently opened. Their grand opening will be Friday. It's located in the little plaza on Olentangy next to the wing stop. The service was great and everyone was really nice. I tried the Pistachio Latte it was really good perfectly made. Their pastries look really good, didn't try those, but i definitely will on my next visit. Also, they have beautiful coffee cups for purchase. read more

Heard about a new Yemeni coffee shop and had to try it out!! As a lover of Qamaria and the likes, I was so excited that there is one closer to home for me! I got the pistachio latte and one of the viral fruit custards (mango). I took it to go, but the inside is lovely - so clean and sharp. It seems like a great place to get some work done, or have a little coffee meet up! The service was top notch as well - efficient and so so friendly!!! I loved my pistachio latte- I didn't find it overly sweet and could still taste the coffee past the pistachio flavor. I look forward to trying it hot next time! At first glance, the price may seem a little steep (I think it was $8 or so for my latte, which I swapped regular milk for almond milk)- but the cup is actually quite large, so it felt appropriate. As far as the viral mousse pastry goes - I will say I felt this was overhyped. The outside shell is white chocolate, and filled with a mango jelly in the center (I didn't love the texture- it was quite gritty), and a whipped custard around the mango jelly. This had a mild mango flavor, and was the best part of the pastry. As of now, I'm leaving a 4 (really I'd do 4.5) given that the mango pastry fell short, but I definitely need to return to try a different pastry from the case (there were so many) to hopefully make it a 5 star review. read more

Visited Matari Coffee for the first time. I arrived shortly after the store opened. After glancing at the pastries and coffee menu, I chose the Pistachio Latte. The cafe worker was pleasant and he quickly crafted my beverage. After getting home I tasted the coffee. The drink was very sweet, even with ordering it half sweet. An extra shot of espresso would have made it perfect, so I will ensure I add that item on my next visit. For people looking to dine-in there is a large seating area. The cafe also has a large parking lot. read more

Beautiful business with fantastic customer service. They were incredibly kind to me. We got quite a few of the fruit pastries. Our favorites were definitely the pistachio and the blackberry ones. I also had a yemeni drink with honey served ice--it was delicious although I think I would recommend it alongside the traditional desserts as the balance is more delicate. The hot chocolate my daughter got was also lovely. We will be back for sure! read more

Great, thoughtful service. I've been here twice. This most recent time, I ordered their signature chai latte iced which was amazing! It is a beautiful cafe with nice instrumental music at a good volume. The first time I came here, I ordered a hot drink which took 30 mins to cool down, and the milk created a film on top and the spices sank to the bottom. Next time I order a hot drink, I'll ask for it to be made closer to drinkable temperature. read more

Not very handicap accessible with there being only one register. Regardless of number of staff behind the drink bar the line moves too slow if you can't stand easily. Staff wear black latex gloves but touch the register, cash and equipment in between touching customers food orders and drinks; clean hands but dirty food. There are few signs that tell what the pastries are. I've left the cafe twice without purchasing anything because of a long line. I'm unlikely to ever return. read more

If you are going to try the viral fruit shaped "mousse" don't waste your time or money. There is no mousse. They are filled with whipped cream and what basically equates to smuckers jelly.

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.

My visit to the Italian Village location had highs and lows. It can get no higher than their Tomato…read moreTart. I don't even like tomatoes like that, but this version was eye popping good. The flaky tart was great, and they seasoned the tomatoes to perfection. Even after inhaling one of them in a single bite, the tomato remnants on the base of the tart still delivered outstanding flavor. The Danish submerged in Everything seasoning with chive cream cheese was a good wingman for the Tart. Definitely was a flavor bomb of sodium if you like your food salty. The low came from the much heralded Souffléd Egg Sandwich. Ignorance was not bliss for me as the dish did not include the bacon that it was supposed to have... but I didn't know that it was supposed to have bacon until my wife told me after I ate it. It was definitely the missing ingredient, literally and figuratively, because the rest of the dish couldn't justify the hype. I am pleased to say that after making them aware of this after the fact, they refunded my purchased which I truly appreciated.

Tous Les Jours

**5 stars for the milk bread**…read more FUN FACT -- Tous Les Jous is owned by a South Korean food conglomerate group (same concept as Paris Baguette) and this is a bakery with Asian and European baked goods. I visited Tous Les Jours for the first time on Memorial Day (May 2026) at the Columbus location. I arrived around 2:30pm on a Monday. Surprisingly, they had lots of options available even with my late arrival because most bakeries run out of items quickly. They sell croissants, cakes, milk breads, macarons, drinks, etc. MY ORDER ($18.95 total for 4 items) -- Twist Donut ($2.95), Sweet Frank Roll ($4.50), Almond Croissant ($4.75), and a Whole Milk Loaf bread ($6.75). 1. Twist donut ($2.95) - sweet but not overly sweet. It tasted just like a regular twist donut that you'll find at other donut shops. 2. Sweet Frank Roll ($4.50) - good. Perfect savory option for breakfast or lunch. Soft and buttery bread base. I think $3 would have been a better price but the bread roll was good. I ate this in my car before driving back to Cleveland. It held me over until I got home. 3. Almond Croissant ($4.75) - my favourite item - buttery with some almond cream or paste inside. Topped with almonds. I don't like creamy things at all and I didn't realize that this croissant had a cream inside until I opened it but the cream is very light and it is more of a spread than a cream. 4. Whole Milk Loaf Bread ($6.75) - Fresh and soft. Definitely my other favourite item. This was all gone within a day, that's how good it was. Buttery goodness. The best bread. Overall, I enjoyed visiting Tous Les Jours and I hope to visit their Cleveland location soon. I ordered takeout so I didn't sit in but they have some tables and chairs available. I'll definitely be back if I'm close by the area again. Tous Les Jours means everyday in French and I wish I could visit them everyday...haha. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 101/250 total reviews in 2026 - 942 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 27 May 2026

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.

I wanted to try them all. I couldn't help wonder if they tasted as good as they looked. While I only got a coffee this visit because I was there on business, I later when back and picked up a handful of pasties -both sweet and savory to try. I thought they were good, but not amazing. The Ham and cheese pastry could use more ham and cheese. For the price, I expected more. Overall they were good and might be a nice treat for an office but I'm not sure I found the value in them overall. As for service, i stood at the cake counter for quite some time. I could see people working behind the glass but no one made an effort to have someone come help me. I almost walked away a couple of times. Service wasn't very attentive or urgent to help. Personally, I need more than just a pretty looking pastry. Service and taste count.

One Line Coffee - Short North

I enjoyed the large Cafe Americano at this place during a mid-June 2025 conference in Downtown…read moreColumbus. It was well worth the 10+ minute walk north from the Convention Center in the early morning to get a strong cup of coffee. The baristas are friendly and can guide you on the different options if needed. Although the interior space is cute and has a nice vibe, the space is limited and not ideal for large groups (OK for 2 people). This cafe is located on High Street just north of the bright orange "Fomo" sign. I enjoyed making this part of my early morning ritual of exercise, walking in Goodale Park, and getting a cup of caffeinated bliss before starting each day of the conference. Thanks for providing a friendly "wake up" in the morning before a full day of conference sessions.

Servers were nice and helpful for getting water and napkins. I paid for street parking and I didn't realize they had parking there :/ luckily street parking for 1hr was really inexpensive The food (BEC sandwich was delicious) super flavorful and high quality ingredients. I believe they added a sauce to the sandwich that made it more uniquely flavored (I would've rather not had the sauce). Another downside was the cost, I believe the sandwich was $12 which was pretty high a breakfast fast casual sandwich. However, its size and flavor partially offset it. I could see this becoming a once-every-few-months favorite if I lived near the area.

Most recently, I came to pick up a cake for Father's Day and also stopped in to try a couple drinks and a matcha roll. The interior is clean with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are very friendly. Come early if you want a bigger selection of bread and pastries! I came around 6 pm on a Saturday and most breads were sold out but there were still plenty of cakes left. I ordered the iced matcha latte and iced black sesame lattes (both with oat milk). After mixing, the matcha latte was a light shade of green and pretty much just tasted like milk which was kind of disappointing. The black sesame latte on the other hand, had a nice strong black sesame flavor. The mango and strawberry smoothies were super refreshing especially since it was hot outside. I actually saved the matcha roll for 2 days later and it still tasted really fresh and yummy.

I RARELY give five star reviews. This place has…read moreconsistently been one of the best in Columbus. It is a fusion of French in Japanese and the techniques and flavors show that. Throughout the years, they have had a variety of different offerings, but they're always the same staples, which is their incredible baked goods, their cakes and sweet cake rolls, a small variety, sandwich, sandwiches and fun drink drinks. They currently have sweet crêpes, but they used to have savory who wants as well back in the day. This entire plaza is an Asian heaven, and I like to bring people from out of town to it because you can literally spend hours in this area. As you can tell for my photos, they are always this busy. The place itself is nice and clean, and the staff is friendly. I'm not a sweet person at all, so I like that this place has unique offerings and some savory ones too. I recommend the mango cake, the sweet butter rolls that literally taste like a slightly sweeten butter inside of a soft pillow bread, and for you to take a loaf of bread home as well. Pro tip: later in the day, the offerings from this bakery are half off at Tensuke Market. This place has been voted as one of the best bakeries in the country & we have it in our own backyard. If you haven't tried it yet, you are missing out.
