Gata Mágica Café and Lounge
1762 N High St, Columbus, OH
Crema's Take
“Gata Mágica delivers genuinely creative specialty drinks like their standout french toast matcha and cookie butter mocha alongside solid cafe staples in a magically laid-back lounge space that's become a favorite study and hangout spot near Union. While the small, intimate seating and slower service pace might test your patience, regulars rave that the delicious drinks, ethical practices, and cozy vibes make it absolutely worth the visit.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Wifi.
