Crema's Take

This cozy neighborhood gem excels at crafting expertly pulled espresso drinks with high-quality beans, earning passionate repeat visits from coffee enthusiasts who rave about the spectacular quality and reasonable prices. Fair warning: the intimate, energetic space gets loud and fills up quickly, so it's perfect for a meaningful conversation or quick coffee break but not ideal if you're hoping to hunker down with a laptop for hours. Pair your velvety latte with their excellent pastries and sandwiches, and you'll understand why locals consider this a true Columbus treasure.

Great coffee, great pastries! My only gripe is that its LOUD alot of the time. The space is also fairly small, so there's also minimal seating. Do NOT come here if you want to study/read. Its a great place to meet with friends though!!

One of my favorite coffee shops in Columbus. It has a cozy, neighborhood coffee shop feel. Not a huge amount of seating, so be aware you may have to take your drinks/food to go. The sandwiches and drinks are fantastic. I really like their grilled cheese and egg sandwich. Pretty affordable prices for how good the sandwiches and drinks are. Customer service is nice and efficient.

Upper Cup Coffee is a gem in Columbus! The owners were extremely knowledgeable, serving expertly crafted espresso drinks. I enjoyed a velvety vanilla latte that showcased high-quality beans with rich flavor notes. The atmosphere invites you to linger, and the local artwork adds charm. A must-visit for any true coffee aficionado!

The coffee is so good. Spectacular. Delicious. So good that I went back multiple times. If you’ve gotten this far in my review, you should’ve already put the address into your GPS & should be on the way there. By far the best latte I have ever had. It is a coffee shop so there is ample seating, lots of planets, and it is decorated nicely.
