Crema's Take

“This Columbus gem brings authentic Somali flavors to specialty coffee, where the creamy, perfectly balanced Somali tea is just as memorable as their expertly crafted espresso drinks and excellent full breakfasts. Beyond the coffee, Safari's dual cafe-restaurant setup and welcoming staff create a genuinely clean, relaxing space that feels equally suited for lingering solo with a matcha or gathering with family over samosas and rich, flavorful dishes. It's the kind of place where everything—from the food to the atmosphere to the hospitality—comes together thoughtfully and unpretentiously.”

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Absolutely love Safari Coffee. The food is always amazing, the coffee was strong and flavorful, and the Somali tea is everything. Creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced not too sweet. It’s the kind of place you want to come back to again and again. Highly recommend supporting…

Safari Coffee House is absolutely amazing. Perfect for all your taste buds. Very clean, and relaxing. I ordered the Potato samosa and Egg fried in potato. The Potato Samosa tastes exploded in my mouth. I have never tasted anything like this before

Amazing Somali food for very good prices. We tried the lamb shank and the chicken suqar and they were very tasty. The place is actually split into two sections: a restaurant and a cafe. Their cultural tea is also really great. They also offer a space for people to pray!
