The prices were fair and the place was comfortably and cozy. Seating is limited, but midday, I was able to grab a table. I could see it being questionable in the mornings when they're busier. I hung out until close on the day I came in, and didn't feel rushed out. It was a great place to grab a coffee and hang for a couple of hours. If I find myself in the neighborhood looking to hang for a bit and/or grab a coffee, I'll be sure to stop in again!

Certainly not terrible, just my least favorite.

Unfortunately, I ordered online or else I would have absolutely bought half of what was in the display case. It all looks amaaaazing! The place was certainly cozy inside with some seating in front and along the side walls and the cashier there was quite pleasant. The chicken shawarma itself was pretty good. Good flavor, though a little bit messy after the first few bites when the juices start leaking out all over the place. It certainly leaved a lot to be desired just tossed into a styrofoam box without being in a wrap or something like shawarma oftentimes comes in. The spicy sauce on the side was also quite good but kind of overpowered the shawarma itself. It also came with a side of Lay's salt and vinegar chips. Really not a fan of said chips and seems like an opportunity to maybe do something more in line with the cuisine to me. Overall, the food was solid but not necessarily mind-blowing from an appearance or functionality perspective. I'd definitely love to come back to get some of those desserts some other time though!

The rotating soft serve flavor was pistacho which was also delish. The girls working were super friendly, and there is seating outside. Will absolutely be in the dessert rotation going forward!

I liked my blueberry matcha but mostly tasted like blueberry milk. Overall, good drinks and cute place! Staff was nice and answered questions. They were patient when we were ordering drinks. I will be back to try other drinks!

And the barista even offered me a discount for veterans. The interior of the shop is well designed.

It would be preferable if they were available as a local option to have a late lunch or afternoon coffee meeting.

YE Gurl Says: A Mid-Afternoon Find at Restoration Roastery…read more February 24th, around 1:30 PM, I set out for a quick downtown coffee run -- or rather, a coffee walk -- and ended up discovering Restoration Roastery. This place feels like a labor of love. From what I could see that afternoon, it's run by a couple who clearly put intention into the space and were both present during my visit. The result is a medium-sized, intimate coffee bistro with a lot of character. Drapery softens different seating areas, some sections are roped off to create cozy pockets, and the walls feature photos of Columbus from decades past -- a quiet reminder of the downtown that existed before today's skyline. There's also a small stage with instruments, which I later learned hosts jam sessions now and will likely see more regular entertainment going forward. Shelves hold games and books, along with coffee-enthusiast tools and wares for sale. It's the kind of place that invites you to linger. Ironically, I arrived without realizing I had walked in just minutes before closing. Still, the space had a steady rhythm -- a few meetings happening, some City Hall and courthouse folks stopping in -- which tells me this spot probably gets a good flow of weekday foot traffic. My order: * Organic lavender oat milk latte * Sticky bun (heated) The sticky bun was excellent -- warm, soft, and not overwhelmingly sweet like some of the ones at Fox in the Snow. The latte started out lovely, but toward the bottom I noticed a stronger bitterness from the organic lavender syrup. Not a deal breaker, just a note to myself: I might try the non-organic syrup next time to see if the flavor balances differently. Pricing for both items was right in line with other Columbus coffee shops. The owners and staff were friendly, and the historical photos and building details were genuinely interesting. The building itself has some history worth exploring -- it once housed the Center for Christian Virtue, among other uses. If you're someone who enjoys learning about the stories behind Columbus spaces, it's worth paying attention to. One small practical note: the website currently doesn't list a menu, which might be helpful for first-time visitors planning their stop. My only moment of mild anxiety came from realizing I had ordered "for here" about fifteen minutes before closing while planning to take a call -- timing just didn't work out. That was on me, not the vibe of the place. YE Gurl says: Restoration Roastery feels like one of those downtown spots that grows into its identity over time -- part café, part gathering space, part quiet nod to Columbus history. If you're nearby, wander in and see if it's your kind of coffee corner. Sometimes the best finds happen when you're just out for a walk.
