My daughter and I were visiting Columbus today for the first time and spent almost five hours at…read morethe huge antique mall (awesome)! We wanted to grab a quick, but non-fast food, lunch before heading back out of town and stopped in at Julie's Java House at 12:40 pm--we checked their website as we were leaving the mall, and debated about just skipping lunch, knowing the staff were going to be closing up at 1 pm. We figured they might be cranky or annoyed with us, being anxious to clean up and close up--BUT, we were very cheerfully welcomed as soon as we walked in to place our order for grilled cheese sandwiches. The sandwiches were served fresh and hot off the grill/panini press, were generously filled with cheese and tomato slices, and the sides of chips and pickle slices were the perfect way to round out our meals! Not only were the food and service great, the cafe was super cute and very clean! Their location is right next to the Columbus Amtrak Station, so if you happen to be there when a train goes past, the place to sit is right inside the front door at the little "bar" with the stools. We were too late for the morning trains and too early for the ~2:00 one...maybe next time. :-) The owners clearly take pride in their establishment and seem to really want to give back to the people and causes that matter most to them, as evidenced by the various photos of family and friends, and certificates of recognition, displayed throughout. They also offer plenty of seating, a large parking lot, and items for sale in small-ish quantities, like homemade honeys, teas, ornaments, wooden trains, jewelry, stickers, and coasters. We feel like we discovered a gem of a restaurant to cap off our truly fun and enjoyable first (but not last!) visit to Columbus!

The tomato bagel and the caramel macchiato were both solid, but nothing too special. The coffee wasn't as strong as I would have liked, but did the job.

The shop is nicely decorated, there is even an enclosed play area for little children. Really nice so far. The coffee is from Luna, which is a great roaster and two shops in Green Bay. Even better. Why the two stars? 1. Despite posted menu prices, I was told these are all incorrect. Apparently the wall menus were printed sometime back, "before inflation." 2. The expression quality was poor. ? ? Stale beans. ? Not tamped correctly. ? Machine issues? There was a piece of hair in my espresso! First ever. Do not recommend.

The menu is quite extensive it is two laminated pages stapled together both front and back and there's an additional dry erase board with additional offerings up by the counter. They offer fresh bakery items that are quite expensive as well and they have a nice selection of gluten-free products for anyone who is interested in maintaining that type of diet, they even had gluten-free sodas and beverages. The staff was very friendly and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time we had a chicken salad wrap called the Ella Fitzgerald and a BLT. I'm going to give it another shot because I was just a slight bit disappointed in my wrap there was an awful lot of tortilla and not a whole lot inside and I'd like to try a different item. The bathrooms were impressively roomy and very tastefully decorated and very clean.
