Busy on a saturday and decent coffee! not super artisanal but gets your fix in and great to grab while roaming around the other shops. If you go when it's busy make sure to check how it gets rung up! i understand a mistake here and there but it was $15 for two coffees ($5 24oz cold brew, $0.75 for a splash of oat milk, and $5.15 for a hot latte) and idk where the extra charge was from. Whole milk was poured into the drink instead of oat... thank goodness there wasn't an allergy but watch out for this if you have any. I've never really had this experience with other stauf locations read more

Visited the North Market location of this local coffee chain last week, and ordered an iced mocha no whip. Service was friendly, and I enjoyed the quality and taste of my beverage, a strong coffee flavor balanced with the perfect sweetness from the chocolate. I'm more of a Starbucks kinda gal, but Stauf's was not bad at all. read more

My lord this coffee was DELICIOUS! I ordered a latte with oatmilk and toasted marshmallow and hazelnut syrups. I told the barista gentleman - who was very friendly and personable too I might add - that I didn't want it really sweet. He made it to perfection! Seriously. To the point I wanted to order a 2nd one but thought that might be too much. Business is located in North Market. It stayed pretty busy, but flowed well. Small wait but nothing crazy. Great people watching from up above on the 2nd floor. If we're ever back in Columbus, I'll definitely be stopping here! read more

Only coffee shop in here. One large cold brew and a small iced green tea. $6.40. Not bad price wise. Not a lot of iced tea options. The cold brew was okay, so was the iced green tea. read more

Stauf's was my first experience to coffee when I first moved here over 30 yrs ago. Back then it really was just in Grandview and Germ Village. Its what I first think of when you say roaster or Columbus coffee. For the past ten years they have had booth in the middle of the North Market and this is where I found them still! At this location you can get a smaller variety of their roasts but they have most of the super popular ones. They have some excellent dark roasts. Our favorite is Baba Budin. So today we stopped in for a chai latte (me) and a Baba for the hubby. We left very happy. If you haven't tried Staufs... Its worth the wait in the wrap around line to get it. Specially on a cold day. Cheers! read more

The coffee was amazing. Very good, but the Girl working at the bar was very rude. She made my Latte. I asked for extra hot, and it came out warm. When I returned it to her, she was rude and didn't even apologize. I thanked her, and still, she would not even acknowledge while I was standing there. I would never go back to this location read more

This place for me is more atmosphere than it is about the drinks. The drinks are fine, but this shop is located inside a church and is big and spacious inside with beautiful windows. This place is great for people who live on campus, but for others, the parking is limited paid street parking and terrible. The service was quick and good. If it is within your reach, this is a great place to get some work done. read more

Located in the North Market at 59 Spruce Street. I do have to say that was not the best service this visit, but I do love Stauf's coffee. I came in close to 5:15pm on 12/21/22. Easy parking in the North Market lot and was picking up some last minute gifts. The guy working the stand was sitting at the bar table, looking down and doing something on his phone. I waited a bit since he appeared to be in the middle of something than finally made some some little noise to get his attention. He mumbled something about not seeing me and came to the counter. It was just kind of awkward. I purchased a pound of whole bean coffee so was able to mark that off the list. The service was just ok and he literally just grabbed a bag from the shelf. It is the holidays so I felt obligated to tip when he flipped the screen around. Besides I generally have decent service here and it could have been a busy day prior to me coming in. You never know. I have had good experiences here and exceptional service in the past but didn't care for this last trip too much. I will most likely hit another preferred location next time. Whichever shop you go, make sure to grab some coffee. I personally have never had a bad flavor (cup or pound). Also, helpful reminder when at the North Market, get your parking validated if you parked in the main lot. read more

Our first stop at a Stauf's location. Been wanting to try it. We were wandering through the north market and stumbled upon this location and decided to give it a try. It's a cute location and the employees were great. I got the iced latte with English toffee flavoring and it was delicious. My husband got the cold brew coffee. It's kind of his staple drink to try at a new coffee shop. He didn't even need the vanilla flavoring he normally gets. He enjoyed it with just alittle cream. They had some unique sweeteners too We will definitely stop in again. read more

Count me as a big fan of Stauf's. I admit to visiting Starbucks more frequently simply because of there's usually one on route to where I'm headed, but SB doesn't measure up to Stauf's. Late last week during our early morning North Market visit our first stop was for coffees at Stauf's - a SF vanilla latte for me and a Buckeye for my GF - which we enjoyed at the limited seating available. One benefit of the North Market location is that they use Snowville Creamery milk which adds a rich, creaminess to the drinks. (It's also available as an option at the Grandview location). The baristas are invariably friendly and informative. Last week we also hit the Grandview location a great, eclectic place to just sit outside and people watch. The other big plus for this location are the excellent baked goods (and bagels). Particularly outstanding are the blueberry muffins which may have more blueberries than muffin. I'm hooked on them. And this location also has the most extensive section of coffee beans for grinding at home to make the freshest coffee. read more

Great spot for a quick coffee break! Got off the plane in Columbus and knew I had a bit of a drive ahead of me so I wanted to get a quick pick-me up. The cold brew was lovely; not too acidic and I was grateful for the variety of non-dairy creamers/milks. The brownie was a blend of fudgey and cakey which was perfect and it wasn't sooo decadent that I couldn't finish it. It was the perfect little treat. Enjoyed it outdoors while listening to live music being played. read more

It's been a minute since I've visited a Stauf's. Not because I don't love it or anything but well.. COVID. I've definitely been brewing coffee at home a lot more. However, a friend and I were on a brisk morning walk downtown and we both found ourselves in need of some coffee. The North Market wasn't too far and we knew we could get Stauf's! We walked our littles butts there and got in line just before the line started getting long. The entire experience was quick and pretty much contactless. While I've been here before and of course it was different in the past, I'm glad they are taking extra steps to keep everyone safe and healthy. I almost always get a latte from Stauf's, with soy milk, and sometimes with a flavoring and sometimes not. Vanilla is always a good choice. I love that some of their locations have lavender and wish they had it here, but it's all good. I'm so glad they are open and still serving their awesome coffee. read more

I was torn between ordering a latte with hazelnut or white chocolate, and then decided after the barista(o) asked for my order. Decided on the latte with white chocolate, and told him so. In the most condescending tone he replies "so you want the white chocolate mocha." It wasn't a question. "Anything else?" He adds. No, nothing else, and nothing now. I won't patronize a business that feels the need to talk down to its customers. Good day to you, sir. I said good day! read more

I have always been a fan of Stauf's and their coffee. I was in the North Market area and decided to get an iced chai latte with almond milk and an iced cold brew with cream. There wasn't a line, which they usually would on a normal day, so I got my order super quick. The whole thing cost about $7.70 which isn't too terrible. They typically leave out the creamer and milks, but because of the virus, they did not so the employee poured it out for me. They still had the sugar, sugar cane, and honey left out for customers to put into their drinks. I really appreciate this because you can sweeten your own drink however you want! The cold brew had a chocolatey flavor to it and was delicious. The chai latte on the other hand- it was more sour and tasted off. I've had plenty of chai tea and chai tea lattes in my life and I know it shouldn't taste sour like that. I was hoping for the slight sweetness and spice. Other than that their coffees are good. I would not get their chai lattes. read more

Stauf's roasts a good cup of coffee. I'm a fan of their seasonal specialty drinks, however. One year, they had a chocolate cherry latte that was just delicious so I always make sure to ask for the specialty when I visit. The North Market location does a Market Spice latte with a blend from Market Spice and sweetened with honey. It was not too sweet and had a great flavor from the spices. I'd definitely order again! I had taken a visitor from out of town to the Market and we really enjoyed our drinking coffee and watching the activity! read more

Perfect coffee. In a Sunday morning continuous line of folks coming into North Market for the coffee. The service is great. Line moves fast. Some counter space to sit or you can sit outside on the tables in the front This is how coffee should be read more

Friendly service and affordable, high quality pour over coffee. I highly recommend and probably should have bought some bean to go.

This coffee shop has me super conflicted. Product: 1/5 (some of the worst beans I've had in any coffee shop) Environment: 5/5 Parking: 2.5/5 Space: 5/5 Staff: 4/5 If you are a coffee snob, the coffee will disappoint you. It's all bitter, and if you look at their wholesale it's evident why. Wayyyy dark roasted beans dominate their product. If you're someone looking for a great place to study and don't mind a sub-par product, this is your place. If you're fine with the dollar per hour of parking outside, you'll enjoy a nice afternoon studying. Their wifi is pretty responsive, they have a ton of tables for studying, and the environment is very friendly. Outlets all over the place. Staff is pretty friendly and will work you towards a drink, however their baristas aren't the most knowledgable since this is on the lower end of specialty coffee shops. It's worth checking out for the environment. I honestly come here way more often to study than my review suggests. read more

Had the vanilla iced latte with almond milk. Was pleased to be greeted so kindly by a gentleman barista that showed me the iced drink options. It's a bit of an awkward set up on an inside corner of North Market's first floor-- very high in foot traffic. I asked if they were local and the gentleman told us about how Stauf's is a Columbus local chain that bought all of the Cup of Joe locations and are 3rd in local US coffee shops. I guess they distribute a lot of product throughout the US. Did not have to wait at all in order to place an order, waited a total of 2 minutes for coffee. Gentleman answered all my questions even through making the drink. Went on a Saturday around 4:30pm. read more

I got latte it was boiling hot and somewhat milk taste weird. I did not like it at all.

In this day and time, understanding we have been dealing with COVID for 2 years, and not having any statewide mask mandate in place, it is too much to continue to require masks for service. Having said that, and considering everyone has different opinions on masks, it is understandable that some may actually think they work. Regardless of anyones opinion on the subject of masks, it is not ok to be treated unfairly because of a different view. That is what happened today to myself and 2 daughters at the North Market location. We were talked down to by the girl who was there on 2/3/22 at 9am. My 7 year old daughter asked "Why do you have to wear a mask". She responded "Because we are in the middle of a pandemic, but I guess YOU GUYS don't have to." Then I asked if they carried non dairy milk and she just pointed to the sign. No response. I was not rude to her for wearing a mask, just as I do not expect to be treated differently because I choose to breathe clean air. In this day and time, there are too many differing opinions to be rude to anyone. I will not be back. Businesses should treat people kindly and fairly no matter their beliefs. read more

Coffee artisans. A few of the employees hear have been here for a while and really know how to make great cup. I like watching them make it and, of course, are friendly. One of the staples of North Market. This place brings all the different people here together. Just about everyone likes coffee. read more

Stauf's coffee is always great and it's an awesome place to hang out or study. My issue is the food. This is the third time I've ordered food from here that is well below average. I ordered avocado toast with a side of eggs and pico de gallo. I was served a piece of plain toast with 3 slivers of avocado included in the box. Very disappointing, I will be sticking to drinks going forward read more

This is my first time trying Stauf's which I know is ridiculous because it is somewhat of a Columbus staple. I have passed this coffee shop a million times both in Grandview and in the North Market and always loved the smells from it. I decided to get their cappuccino and my fiance' got their espresso. The environment was very peaceful (we went on. Weekday) but I know how packed North Market can get on a weekend-especially when there is a convention. The workers were very friendly. It was nice to sip our coffee and look around at all the action going on. I noticed there were barrels of coffee and asked if they sold beans which they do. I ended up buying a half pound of their Colombian blend which is out of this world (drinking it as we speak). I highly recommend checking this place out if you're ever in North Market. read more

Your coffee hookup at the North Market. This is serious business and worth the wait (there is usually a line). Not fancy or tons of flavors...this is coffee for people who actually like coffee. The people here are very friendly and even more skilled. They know coffee and can explain all of the different ways it can be made. My choice is usually pourover, which takes a little time but is worth it to savor the flavors of the coffee without any bitterness from overly heating the water. And controlling the speed at which the water flows over the grounds ensures the full flavor of the beans is unlocked, yielding a richer cup. The baristas are very patient. Anyway, strolling through North Market is more pleasurable with a cup of coffee in your hand, so get in line. read more

My go-to coffee place in the Arena District. My Saturday morning routine always includes a dark roast coffee from Stauf's followed by a pastry from Omega Artisan Baking. The staff is always friendly, the pricing is reasonable and the coffee is always good. It's one of the few places where I can order a black coffee. Definitely a much needed staple in the North Market. read more

We just moved back to Columbus and were very excited to try Stauf's. While the coffee was delicious, the person with the long dark curly hair making our drinks was very rude. First, they berated the customer before us for pulling down her mask to DRINK HER COFFEE. Then when the customer asked for a napkin because the drink made a mess on the counter, the person working there rolled their eyes. We were next in line and got similar treatment. My drink was made very messy and when I asked for a napkin, the person working acted like I was wasting their time. There was no "Thank you" or other gracious language. The whole experience felt like we were somehow burdening the person there to assist us. What an unfortunate experience. read more

Probably the rudest women I've met in Columbus. Charged me for a 20 tried to give me a 12oz when I said I paid for 20oz. Mean while I dropped a tip in jar.

Bought an oat milk latte with maple flavor. Coffee was tasty - they use the good oat milk --- if a little overpriced, but that's increasingly typical of food in food hall/market type places like this. The market was crowded when we went. Not much in the way of enforcing social distancing or mask restrictions, so if you're wary of crowds you may want to hold off for the time being, or go during off hours. The service was unremarkable. They seemed short staffed, so not much in the way of chit-chat. A few addlepated reviewers have complained about the service, which, during pandemic conditions, is a wild thing to be concerned with. 500K dead and these people are out here making minimum wage so you can go have a coffee - suck it up! Overall: good coffee but market conditions are hit or miss. If you're vaccinated, go for it. read more
