Tertulia
997 N High St, Columbus, OH
Crema's Take
“Tertulia is a welcoming neighborhood gem on Starr & High where the baristas craft thoughtful, flavor-forward drinks like cardamom rose lattes and apple caramel macchiatos with real expertise and care. The laid-back vibes, locally-sourced pastries, and rotating art displays create the perfect space to linger over a strong, well-made coffee or discover something entirely new from their creative menu. It's exactly the kind of place Columbus coffee lovers seek out—approachable and inclusive, where both first-time visitors and regulars feel genuinely valued.”

Was in town visiting and this coffee shop was within walking distance. Their menu intrigued me so I went in on the last day of my visit specifically looking for a cookie they had on their online menu. Their items rotate, so they don’t always carry every item. Hailey was the absolute best! She asked how long we were staying and since I’m leaving that same day, she decided she was going to whip up a batch for us to enjoy before we leave. The coffee drink she made me was absolutely perfect. Her suggestions, her energy, her willingness to go above and beyond for us to have a good experience… 10/10. Everyone should have a Hailey on their team! Def will be back.
This place is so wonderful! I ordered the apple caramel macchiato with cold foam and an apple cinnamon muffin! Both were delicious- a strong coffee beverage with a moist warm muffin was the perfect pairing. It is rare to find a coffee shop in the city that delivers both excellent coffee and tasty homemade baked goods. Service was friendly and quick. I will definitely be back!
What a lovely neighborhood Cafe, a welcome addition to the corner of Starr & High Sts. The incredibly knowledgeable barista made me a delicious cardamom rose iced latte. I also sampled the blueberry lemon scone, the pistachio danish and Biscoff overnight oats. The owner is such a talented baker, make sure to stop in while in the Short North 💫 (and enjoy the photos of my curious pup Georgie 🫶🐾)
CHECK THIS PLACE OUT A MUST GO FOR COLUMBUS LOCAL COFFEE LOVERS. Great service, unique menu, all-inclusive safe place, STRONG COFFEE!!! The vibes are SOOOO laid back. Art for sale displayed all over. Cute little wall that's perfect for a selfie. They even have gelato. You can tell the people that own this place really care about making sure you have a great experience. You will notice that the drink menu does not have a description on it and that is designed to get you talking with your barista, something that we could all use a little more of, honest and open communication. I love what this place fosters, good coffee and genuine connection, something that is very hard to find these days.
I stopped by to try them out, not knowing it was their first official day open, and both the barista and owner were so kind! I got an iced vanilla latte which was so tasty, a cinnamon roll type pastry, and a chocolate custard like pastry, Everything was so delicious and flavorful 😋🤤 the cinnamon roll pastry was warm and you could tell the pastries were freshly made. Will definitely be back!
