The Light Meeting House
1485 Oak St, Columbus, OH
Crema's Take
“This Columbus gem is run by owners Rick and Prudence who genuinely make every customer feel like a cherished friend, creating an atmosphere so warm and welcoming it's become the standard by which people judge all other coffee shops. Their espresso-focused menu delivers both traditional and creative specialty drinks in a beautifully decorated space that's perfect for lingering over conversation or settling in with your laptop. What sets them apart isn't just the excellent coffee, but the palpable joy and care the owners bring to their work—they actually want to know you and are excited to serve you.”

I met one of the owners and they were so nice, I decided to check out their business and it did not disappoint! I was blown away by the service and atmosphere! They have these cute candles and other cool things that support small local businesses! I got the strawberry lemonade and it was perfect! If I wasn’t on a diet, I would’ve gotten one of the specialty drinks they looked divine 😍 10/10
Truly one of the loveliest places you can visit in Columbus. The owners are genuinely excited to meet you, chat with you, and serve you, and you can tell how much they love their work and space and community. On top of that, the coffee is great! The espresso is expertly pulled and the flavor selection is massive! There’s something for everyone. The space is so comfortable and welcoming, and I will definitely be making this a regular stop. I can’t wait to bring my friends here too!
As a previous review said, this cafe set my new standard for a customer service experience. Rick and Prudence were so kind and took the time to make conversation with each customer. You can tell that they have strong relationships with their regulars and now them well, and they’ve only been here since June. Besides the service, the atmosphere was great as well. There is a range of seating options from high top counters to couches and comfy chairs. I highly recommend The Light Meeting House!
SUPPORT THIS AMAZING COFFEE SHOP! Do you know those experiences in life that set the standard for all other experiences?! Well this coffee shop set the bar for how coffee shops should function. Truly a pillar in the community. Harboring a safe and beautiful place for neighbors and strangers (like me!) and o commune and connect. This is a safe heaven and I can’t wait to come back next time I’m in Columbus.
First visit today and super impressed!!! If you are looking for some ❤️ with your coffee this is THE place! Cozy, modern, clean look inside, decorated really cute for the holidays. Service was outstanding, so friendly, and they are very accommodating to make sure you get the drink you want! My cold brew was great and my husband's house chai was delicious and not too sweet, the way he likes it. Their baked goods looked great. We tried the blueberry cheesecake croissant which was warm and fantastic! The coffee cake slice was soft but could use a little more flavor! WiFi was sufficient for getting a little work done. Will definitely be back!
