Crema's Take

This cozy Columbus basement spot has carved out a loyal following as a creative haven, with an art collective that regularly makes it their studio by rearranging the furniture at will. While the drip coffee leans traditional and the half-sandwich portions feel a bit stingy for the price, their signature creative drinks like the apple pie latte show real personality, and the genuinely friendly staff keeps people coming back for long afternoons of work or conversation. It's the kind of place where the atmosphere—welcoming, flexible, and artsy—matters more than flawless execution.

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Wifi.

A wonderful hangout place! It may take 15min on feet to get to the campus. They only serve coffee, sandwiches and several pastries, but everything on the menu is tasty and cheap. They also have plenty of big tables and sofa seats for board games, puzzles, or other great games.…

The art group I'm a part of meets here. We've been to several different places but Coffee Underground is by far the best location for making art. We move the tables around and they're cool with it. If you see us, please feel free to join. I head here after work so I typically…
