Kafé Kerouac
2250 N High St, Columbus, OH
Crema's Take
“Kafé Kerouac is a literary-minded Columbus gem where the chai lattes are genuinely exceptional and every drink comes with a character—named after beloved authors like Mark Twain and Charles Dickens. The space radiates genuine warmth, with a community-focused vibe that feels equally welcoming whether you're cramming for exams, performing on an open mic, or catching up with friends over impeccable teas and creative specialty drinks. At great prices and with late-night hours, it's the kind of place where staff actually care about helping you find your drink, and the cozy atmosphere practically guarantees you'll want to come back.”

Today was my first visit and I will definitely be a repeat customer when I find myself in Columbus again! I had a double shot of espresso, The Mark Twain and a cheddar jalapeno bagel. Bagel was great! Very fresh! The Mark Twain latte had perfectly textured milk and the double shot was chef's kiss! They got a rush while I was there and handled it really well. You can trust you're in good hands here! Thanks for a great experience friends!
This place is such a vibe! The barista was so nice and welcoming to me. Literally held the door and took an interest in helping me choose a drink. I chose the Charles Dickens (extra sweet) and OH MY GAHHH! it was so good! I also got a homemade chocolate chip because I mean, who doesn’t like a chocolate chip cookie?! Anyway it was delicious 😋!! Ended up seeing this gentleman perform several of his original songs and a few covers. I really enjoyed the entire experience. Other patrons were doing their own thing (reading, working, playing games, socializing, etc.). When I visit Columbus again I’ll definitely come back 😊
