Crema's Take

Matari is a late-night haven for coffee lovers in Columbus with genuine Yemeni roots, offering an impressive lineup of traditional Middle Eastern beverages alongside creative specialty drinks that go far beyond standard espresso fare. The space itself feels like a luxurious yet welcoming retreat where you're equally encouraged to linger for hours with a laptop, catch up with friends, or simply soak in the cool, chill ambiance that regulars rave about. What really sets this place apart is the warmth—staff members consistently go out of their way to make you feel genuinely welcomed, making it the rare spot where you can find quality coffee and matcha at 1 a.m. alongside a sense of community.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.
