Crema's Take
“This all-vegan coffee shop tucked behind a unique restaurant venue serves genuinely crave-worthy breakfast and creative specialty drinks that'll have you coming back multiple times over. The signature banana latte and inventive sandwiches like the Warpig showcase how seriously they take flavor, and whether you're catching espresso at their intimate service window or settling into the spacious patio, the whole experience feels thoughtfully one-of-a-kind.”

It’s always gonna be a good day when I start mine out with Blackend. Although I don’t regularly eat vegan food, their breakfast is so delicious and flavorful that you can’t tell the difference. I really recommend their Black & Blue latte and chorizo breakfast tacos. The staff is amazing too! Great people serving up great coffee.
Not only is the venue attached to the restaurant/ coffee shop extremely unique but the small service window of Blackened out back really wraps up this one of a kind experience. The food is phenomenal and very well prepared. Everything has thought behind it and the main focus of removing cruelty from your breakfast is truly captivating. Each item, cleverly named, has its own place on the menu but everything vibes so well together. My partner and I traveled all the way from Portland, OR to try this new Columbus staple in the vegan world. We will be back as often as possible and look forward to trying each variation of the menu as the seasons change around our visits. Kudos to the staff for being so well knowledged, friendly, and inviting.
This all vegan breakfast spot is amazing! Everything I’ve sampled from the menu has been delicious, but the All Black and Blue and the Warpig are my favorites. If the weather is bad, head inside and upstairs for a cozy little place to enjoy. I will say, every time I have been (three times so far) the wait has been 10-25 minutes. BUT it’s clear they make everything to order and the crew seems to range from one to three people. This is not a negative against them in my opinion, just know you may have a bit of a wait.
Perfect spot for a coffee & breakfast sandwich in Columbus! We especially loved the banana latte & thrashbrowns. They have a nice big patio. Highly recommend & can't wait to go back to try the burrito. Definitely worth a visit.
Writing this review after my third visit. Short version: Delicious, fully vegan breakfast/lunch spot with creative flavors. The specialty coffee drinks are a must-have Long version: Every item I've ordered here has been delicious! Across three visits I've ordered The Warpig sandwich, The Slapper sandwich (pictured) This Shit Is Bananas coffee (both as-is and subbed strawberry syrup for pistachio, pictured) and the All Black and Blue coffee. The Warpig is nice and hearty, while The Slapper is refreshing and light while still being filling. Both specialty coffees are immensely flavorful and easily stand on their own! This Shit Is Bananas tastes like fresh baked banana bread, while the All Black And Blue tastes like a homemade blueberry muffin. The staff are all exceptionally friendly and passionate about the work they do, and from the customer POV it's clear that the team really gets along well, making for a pleasant and welcoming experience. I didn't feel rushed at all, even during their grand opening. Overall, top notch spot. I plan on returning many, many times.
