Ciao Cafe German Village
214 Thurman Ave, Columbus, OH
Crema's Take
“This charming German Village spot transports you straight to Italy with its carefully curated pastry case, creamy gelato, and expertly pulled espresso that locals rave about. The intimate handful of tables and genuinely warm staff create the perfect setting for lingering over a cappuccino and a buttery pistachio croissant, whether you're meeting a friend or savoring a quiet moment alone. It's the kind of neighborhood café that feels like a welcoming escape, where attention to detail—from the food quality to the accessibility—shows they truly care about making you feel at home.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
