The Staff was very friendly, but the coffee didnt taste good to me. Im not from the area, and it was just a little dirty inside. Maybe I was there on an off time?

The coffee here was awful!!!! I ordered the iced mocha joe but it was so bitter and had a weird aftertaste! It really shouldn’t have even one star! The only good thing that is they let us refund it!

Stumbled upon this place on a walk in the neighborhood, stopped in for an iced oat milk mocha. No regrets! Environment is nice, quaint and clean, as well as great service. Will be back for more!

Coffee is good, specialty drinks pricy and not too big. Staff is helpful. Setting is unique, and have free wifi. Good spot to hangout if you dont mind the crowd. Occasionally mess up orders but usually decent

Come here 5+ times a week! My two coworkers and I love this place. Friendly faces and top-notch service. Everything is awesome from just a regular “Cup O Joe” to the fancier drinks.. Great place!

Stumbled into this place because we had some time to kill. It was packed which is a good sign, but unfortunately there was nowhere for us to sit to enjoy our drinks. I asked the guy working about his favorite drink and he recommended the Cold Joe. Coffee with a shot of vanilla and a little cream, a lot of caffeine and not too sweet. That’s right up my alley and I loved it.

Love it. The workers are personable. Place is clean and they enforce the six foot rule while you are waiting for your order. They get the order right. Masks enforced. I do wish they had more bagels.. often run out of my favorite, Asiago. Prices reasonable. So much better than fast food!

A really comfy and small coffee shop. Has Wi-Fi, and it’s a hit with college students, also. Friendly customer service. Now I don’t like coffee, and I ordered the sweetest coffee they had, and it was amazing.

My best friend lives down the street. So any time we get a chance to see each other we head to this coffee shop. The coffee and tea options are wknderful. The employees are phenomenal and are willing to answer any and all questions you may have. The establishment is cozy and the perfect setup to catch up with a friend, read a book, or get some work down.Highly recommend.

This was a great place to get coffee - especially since there arent very many coffee places open past 7 p.m. I tried to go on to their website to see what all baked good were available and I couldnt find anything even though it said sandwiches & sweet treats. Their website is very lacking on information - so do not rely on that. I tried the frozen toffee blended drink - was good! My husband enjoyed his regular latte and says it was very good!

Cup O Joe has amazing coffee and yummy pastries! The staff are friendly and welcoming. Ive felt safe going here throughout the pandemic. At the onset of COVID-19, Cup O Joe immediately instituted safety measures, including accepting card only, using sanitized styluses, social distancing tape, and more. It also now requires the use of masks. Highly recommend to anyone in need of caffeine and/or anyone who is COVID-19 health-conscious during this time. Thanks!

Go for the Diablo stay for the ambiance (at least pre-Covid). They are doing a stellar job with the pandemic in full tilt. Their coffee is great, service is always amazing, fast, and genuine.

A great environment! The service is fine, and the coffee is good. There are a lot of baked goods and some wraps, so it definitely works if you need a quick meal or breakfast. It gets a touch pricy if you get that much though. I particularly like the outdoor seating.

I dropped by when I was driving through Columbus. They make an amazing latte and a mouth watering bacon scone. I will be revisiting this place the next time I am in Columbus.

Review №40

This is the first coffee shop I visited in Columbus, so I have a special attachment to it. The real reason I keep coming back, though, is because the coffee is so good. It would be easy to blindly point to anything on the menu because Ive never had anything less than a great drink here, coffee or otherwise. It was so good that I bought a mug.

Review №41

This is the place to be. Rainy day, need a place to view the world zoom by through a water sprinkled window - this is your place. Saturday morning and you want coffee before you even wipe the sleep from your eyes - this is your place. Project to get done but you don’t want to do it at home, your place. Good book to read, your place. Midday work meeting, your place. This is your place and the staff will remind you over and over through their expertise and welcome spirit. This is your place.

Ma
Review №42

Excellent coffee but its soooo crowded. Even if you can find a place to sit (which is unlikely), the chance of you finding a table you can share with a friend and god forbid a laptop plug are slim. Go in, get your coffee, and go home.

Review №43

Cup OJoe is to be commended for doing the best job Ive seen in taking precautions to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Inside seating remains closed, (but a few patio tables are now available), and the staff has developed an efficient system for processing takeout orders while maintaining social distancing. Masks are required for employees and customers, and hand sanitizer is available at the counter. A plexiglass barrier has recently been added at the counter as well. I feel welcome and safe getting my Sammys bagel and a large dark roast here almost daily. Thanks for putting people first! Cash only, for now.Update: Cash payments are once again being accepted.

My second favourite coffee shop in the Columbus campus area. The atmosphere is so nice and there’s plenty of places to sit to work on things by yourself or in groups while sipping their delicious beverages. They’re blueberry muffin is to die for.

Favorite coffee shop in all of central Ohio! Great coffee beans, perfect roast. Theyll make your coffee any way you want. My favorite is a mocha Joe light on the chocolate syrup and its the same no matter who brews. It gets busy, though, so plan accordingly.. well worth the wait.

Review №49

My favorite coffee shop! The coffee here is amazing (the best of all the nearby coffee shops)and inexpensive, there are tasty food options, and the staff is amazing. Its very cozy and homey inside, although I wish there was more seating. When it gets busy it also gets loud and there may not be a place to sit.

Large variety of coffee and other drinks plus desserts and snacks in a very relaxed atmosphere. The staff are very friendly, helpful and seem to have been there forever. My favorite thing about this place is how laid back it is. Once you get your drink and snack you dont feel rushed at all! Just take a seat, watch the world go by, enjoy your book and your afternoon.

Review №51

Best coffee shop in Clintoville. Coffee is decent and the patio is great! Only downside is the lack of space. Usually this place is packed which doesnt suit getting together with a friend. However if your wanting to study alone you can generally get a spot.

A cool little place to get some coffee and hang out. TONS of people doing what I did, plop down with your laptop or a book and get some work done or read. And theres actually parking, which is hard to come by the closer you get to the Short North 😂

Review №55

Pleasant enough. Clean. Kind of noisy but still relaxing. If all the tables are mostly full then not so relaxing and would feel crowded. Customer service was good but nothing special either. Will go again.

A coffee shop that isnt Starbucks. The cappuccinos are really good. I leave more awake and feel welcomed.

Review №57

Always your standard, no frills but no fails, coffee place. Seating is close and its packed from 8-3 every single day.Drinks great, food choices excellent, and they even have allergy friendly choices. There are prepackaged gluten free muffins, cheesecake, pies, and cookies made by Food For Thought.They do need to clean their bagel toaster though. The place always smells like theres a seseme seed fire. The burn smell can get unbearable sometimes actually.Clean and good for a solo person with work to do. There are regulars there that are some of my favorite people. Sincerely nice folks, and if it attracted that crew, Im in.

Decent coffee not my favorite of the weekend. It is on the coffee experience trail. I had a cold brew of their hazelnut coffee and my husband had their light roast. Better than Starbucks but not better than One Line coffee in the arts district of Columbus, Ohio.

Its a backup coffee spot for me when my crew at a diffirent coffee place is off work. Last visit I greeted the young lady at the counter hello luv me just be friendly and she was offended by the term luv as if I were attempting to seduce her. This kinda put me off from coming back so Ill look for a new backup coffee place.

I love the espresso drinks. My normal is a medium three-shot Americano, which is never too bitter, even when I bump it up to four. Their dark roast is great, as well. Awesome staff, and pretty great food as well. My only complaint is they run out of their jalapeno cheddar bagels all the time! 5/5

A neighborhood staple for more than a decade. The coffee is good at a very fair price. The staff is prompt and the place is typically clean.As I am a frequent visitor here, I have to say that the store has seen some heavy use over the years and its starting to show. Im confident the neighborhood will forgive them if they close for a short time to remodel, fix some things and give their staff some new equipment.

Review №70

I really like the location of this store & the coffee, but its pretty gross on the inside. They are in need of a deep clean or remodel. I keep going here because of good coffee & location but the workers usually look like they havent showered and some have an odor you can smell over the counter...

Still one of the last great independents. Too bad market is forcing ridiculous prices for coffee. Would like to see real sized espresso drinks somewhere in lumbus. Cappuccinos dont come in a mug.

Nice place to hang with a friend, have an informal meeting, or work on your laptop. Seating is pretty cramped, so dont expect to have a private conversation. Drinks are good and the place has a cool artistic vibe like Starbucks might have been when it first started.

Review №86

I used to really enjoy coming to this Cup OJoe. Over the last year or two it has gone downhill. The coffees are good, the service is spotty depending on who is behind the counter. A few of the good ones left and some of the newer employees are indifferent to service. Prices on drinks is at times inconsistent depending on who is behind the counter. Some days tax is charged, some days not. One reviewer wrote that the place is filthy which is no exaggeration. Then theres the wireless network. I can go to any Starbucks in town and connect effortlessly and remain connected. Not so at this Cup O Joe. The wireless network is atrocious. As Im writing this now the network disappeared and with luck will reconnect in a few minutes. Im really disappointed in the current status of this establishment, its as if they have taken their customers for granted. The former manager went to another location and is sorely missed, the ship has drifted in his absence.
