Crema's Take
“This espresso-focused gem in Columbus roasts their own beans on-site and takes both their craft and customer experience seriously, with staff who genuinely know their stuff and care about making you feel welcome. The real standout is their rotating cold brew on draft alongside thoughtfully selected rotating single-origins—perfect whether you're grabbing a quick latte with a distinctive espresso character or settling in for hours with your laptop. Whether you're a coffee novice discovering why good espresso matters or a seasoned enthusiast, the quality of what's in your cup (and the beans you take home) consistently exceeds expectations.”

Until recently I haven’t been much of a coffee snob, I just liked my drip coffee. Buuuuut, I swung into the shop and grabbed a bag of beans for some at home espresso, and that first cup was soooo good! Already told a couple friends about it.
I can’t say enough good things about this shop! The staff is amazing. They always give great customer service and are very welcoming. The coffee is just as amazing. They have a very dynamic selection (my favorite is the decaf cold brew on tap which is so hard to find!!!!). I typically like flavored lattes, but the espresso is so good here I typically get more coffee forward drinks. Love it here and always look forward to going!
If you’re a coffee connoisseur, this is MUST visit coffee shop. The cold brew is out of this world, with a revolving selection of coffees (roasted on site) on a chilled draft system. The lattes are always killer and I love exploring all the seasonal drinks as they come out. I enjoy trying new flavors so I regularly pick a bag from their great selection of bagged coffees (these are roasted on site as well) which are on point with the description of flavor notes in each variety. The staff is friendly, the bagels and other snacks are from other local businesses, and the café makes you want to hang out for a while!
Always a great time here! Daniel and AJ do a great job with the options not to mention great guys. The coffees are great but don’t sleep on taking a bag of beans home…best beans I’ve purchased.
I came here one day for a quick drink and to plug in for a little bit. My plain latte was great; their espresso has a distinctive flavor from your average shop, and I was a fan of it. I didn't pay much attention to seasonal drinks, but they're probably good based on the quality of the basic drink. They had a couple pastries/bagels available that morning, too. Overall, it's a good space to chill. They have WiFi and outlets, a decent amount of space, and a very clean bathroom. It wasn't super quiet, but less loud than your average shop, and the baristas were cool. I'm sure I'll be back for more!
