Daydreamer Coffee
222 W Lane Ave, Columbus, OH
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a luxury apartment complex near North Campus, Daydreamer Coffee strikes that rare balance between a sophisticated, elevated hangout and a genuinely welcoming study spot where students actually want to spend their afternoons. The thoughtfully designed space is packed with comfy seating and strong wifi, making it an ideal refuge for long study sessions or coffee dates, plus the team clearly prioritizes accessibility and genuine hospitality. Their espresso-focused menu and specialty drinks give you plenty to explore, though fair warning—parking nearby can be tight, so plan accordingly if you're coming from off-campus.”

This new coffee shop inside the new luxury apartment is fantastic and close to the north campus. The room is beautiful with many comfy seats where Buckeye students can study and relax with friends. WiFi is available. Their matcha drink tastes refreshing and authentic with honey and strawberry jam.
I visited the Daydreamer Cafe in Columbus, Ohio and noticed all of the features for accessibility. There was a ramp leading to the front entrance and accessible parking in the parking garage. If you enter through the garage, there is an easily accessible elevator that takes you down to the cafe. I also noticed that the cafe had a low counter top and the menu was clear and easy to read. Overall, a great experience with lots of accessible options!
My best friend and I brought our babies to try out this new spot. Parking was not easy to find, as this location is right on OSU campus. But we had a great overall experience - the staff was friendly, the inside was absolutely beautiful. We ended up sitting outside and had plenty of space for two strollers. I tried their signature Sugar Graham Latte iced and loved it. The coffee was delicious, and the vibes were great! Will be back sometime in the near future
Had an excellent experience our first time at Daydreamer Coffee! The staff were really kind and accommodating, and the space is elevated with a sophisticated vibe; perfect setup for an all day study sesh- I got an iced latte with a half pump of cinnamon bun and it came out amazing.🤎 For more Columbus food content, check us out on Insta at @dinersdriveinsanddumplings ☺️
Very cute space on campus that was super busy when we went on the weekend. The parking is limited (street but there is also a garage for $6/hour). The drinks were pretty average. Iced drinks didn’t have enough ice so it melted quickly and just became super watered down. Matcha was very sweet/milky. They were out of a lot of their syrups which is interesting since they’re a chain.
