They havent changed much over the years, and thats a good thing. They also have fresh roast beans, pastries, and art to purchase.They are now renting out the dining rooms for meetings, etc.

Love you guys. And the guy working day shift is the nicest, friendliest human I’ve talked to in a long time. Even my toddler loves him! Always the best coffee!

The iced Chai was absolutely amazing. It was the best thing I have ever tasted, and the ambience was just magnificent. Staff was super friendly, and it is definitely one of my new favorite spots!

This fine establishment has great coffee with other drinks and treats. It also features a monthly rotating art gallery. The art work pictured will be there for the month of May 2021.

When we arrived, the person at the counter - exerting the least possible effort and answering our questions in monosyllables - confirmed our understanding that they are still requiring masks and have no indoor seating. There were about 12 outdoor tables, each seating at least four, most with only one person sitting at them. Although we were clearly at a loss of where we might sit, no staff helped us.If they had shown even the smallest amount of interest in having our business, then I would be able to tell you if their coffee was any good. As it was, I left and went someplace else.

Love this place. Perfect for a meet up with a friend or two. Only one person inside at a time, but the staff is great and their outdoor area is perfect to hang and get some coffee. Also free wifi while youre there. Take a look inside at the local art/crafts too.

This is such a cute little coffee shop! Nestled between the Short North and Clintonville, this is a great spot for you to stop and take a break at while you’re exploring the downtown scene of Columbus,OH. They have several different varieties of, hot or cold, Tea and Coffee. And they offer a wide variety of food and snacks too! This gallery displays and sells paintings, jewelry, accessories, and trinkets from local artists all through the shop. Everywhere you look there is something beautiful to see. During the summer months the shop will offer live musical entertainment on their covered patio from local musicians. A lot of local flair here at this shop!

The baristas at Global are so kind. Not only do they know what they talking about when it comes to coffee and other drinks, they are just good people. I recommend the Chai with Oat Milk. It just tastes SO good.Apart from the drinks, it is a nice location to study. There is one handicap parking spot by the store. There arent too many parking spots right by the store, but you should have little trouble finding parking on the street. There are low tables so it is accessible for people who may need wheelchairs. The outdoor seating is nice and spacious. Most of the outdoor seating is on benches, so accessing the seats can be difficult, but sitting on the ends is no issue. The outdoor seating can be distracting due to the cars constantly zipping by. This is a great place to bring pets and service animals are definitely welcome. During the coronavirus, outdoor seating is safer option but do not fret because there is a tent set up in case of rain. Everything is pretty accessible. The bathrooms are relatively small. It would be difficult to use the restroom if you have a wheelchair or need more space to sit and stand.The overall environment is very welcoming. The menu is easy to read, but the baristas will more than love to help you order a drink suited for you.During this time of Covid, only a couple people can enter to order their drinks at this time. The outdoor seating gets sanitized per request, but there is also signage to let people know if the tables have been sanitized or not.

A mocha with 4 shots of vanilla is what my friend recommended me after our second visit—very good! And not only was the coffee great, but those working here are also attentive as to what you want and do so with bubbly interaction, no matter the time of day.Becoming one of my go-to coffee shops, I recommend it!

Review №14

I have loved coming to this coffee shop since I first began living here! I love the cause it supports and its promotion of culturally diverse fair trade products. The coffee is delicious, the environment is lovely and comfortable! The only area of concern is accessibility aspects in regard to the bathroom and inside the establishment. The inside is not very spacious for someone who may use a wheelchair or other assistive device, but these are also times of a pandemic so large spaces are harder to come by. Overall, I love the outside area when the weather is a little warmer, and I love their purpose.

Review №15

Wonderful little place to sit inside or outside and read or reflect. Sometimes they have food (vegetable momos, etc). They also have happy hour specials. There are 2 parking spots on the side - left turn if driving north on High Street. Otherwise free parking can be found on side streets!

Review №16

Really awesome local coffee shop and gallery. Everything is local in some regards, and the drinks are always solid. Tons of art on display and for sale, plus its located within the Clintonville Farmers Market so its simple to stop in and grab a cup of coffee as you walk. Been around for YEARS and hopefully it will be around for years more!

Review №19

Barista was not helpful recommending anything to a first-timer, I almost took off with that first impression. I decided to stay anyway because I thought maybe the coffee would be good. For the price, it’s really nothing great. Everything is pre-made and syrupy tasting. My mocha wasn’t hot, only room temp. The patio was alright, you’d have to ask someone to share their space with you since they have only picnic table-like seating where mostly one person occupies. Overall, from the lackluster service to subpar coffee and limited, inconvenient seating, I might have to take my business elsewhere!

I have been going to Global Gallery for years. Love their mission first and foremost, but their coffee and treats are equally delightful. They also sell an eclectic mix of jewelry, artwork, dog treats, and other gift items from local and global artists/entrepreneurs that make perfect just because gifts. Highly recommend!

Review №25

Just stopped by because it was close to the hospital. The girl behind the counter with lime green hair was lovely and explained the menu. She said the chai was their most popular drink so I ordered it iced. So stinkin’ good. There’s a reason it’s the most popular. The patio area is an added bonus.

Review №26

Been here with a bunch of friends.Not a lot of options for drinks.Tried blueberry muffin, chocolate gluten free muffin and the cranberry orange scone. All of them lacked moisture and were definitely not fresh.Drinks weren’t great either.There was only one barista and service was slow.Good amount of seating available indoor and outdoor.This place sells handmade products made by locals and are extremely expensive.Wouldn’t prefer coming back here.

I adore Global Gallery. Ive gotten so many gifts from their fair trade shop, Ive gone to fun events they host like the zine swaps, and its a go-to place for my writers group. Its especially nice in warm weather when the porch is open.Pro tip: Ask for the honey bear latte. Its not always on the menu because its technically a seasonal drink, but the baristas are so sweet and will make it for you. Its delicious! Thank me later.

Review №33

Global Gallery Coffee Shop is far out of my usual well beaten path. A friend took me here one afternoon, and while I had initial trepidations, in the end I was pleasantly surprised. The shop is a bit of warren with at least 3 different rooms that I saw. Moving about can be interesting if you are a big guy (I am) and you end up setting at the far end of a large and long shared table with benches. Being my first time here I went with a plain cup of black coffee. Its coffee, better than UDF, not as good my usual spot (Im biased). We shared a few baked goods. I forget what we had. I do remember that I didnt not like them. So they must have been tasty.All in all this a cutesy sort of place with good quality backed goods and coffee.I think they also are a florist too, we were sitting near an employee that was creating arrangements.

This place is my jam. The coffee is smooth, with a slightly earthy note. Its easy going and mellow, not pretentious. I love the featured artwork, which changes depending on their events. I have yet to attend any of the after-hours events, but they all seem appealing. I love the gift shop aspect, as its ethical and sustainable items priced fairly and for a good cause.

The coffee being served is high quality. From light roast to dark; every preference is met at this shop. There is plenty of seating enclosed outside that allows for considerate distancing. Below are recommendations I’m quite confident of:By the cup:Cold brew (Ramble House) is on point. Perfect time of the year to enjoy.Americano (request to be made with One Line espresso blend). Bold, but not overwhelming. The flavor is rich and even has a kind of hint of mint that tingles.Any of the Ramble House on drip brew is awesome!cappuccino, cortado and latte fans... Go at it with once again - One Line espresso blendBags of beans:Thunderkiss, One Line Coffee and Ramble house are available by the bag for home brew. Hopefully Yeah, me too coffee beans are added as well.*The shop can grind beans if needed*Sweet teeth:)))))Have a sweet tooth?! Take one glance at the scones and other baked goods, then try to deny the urge. Good luck!We’re lucky and fortunate to have a shop like this. They don’t make millions a year, and all roasters and employees spend many hours making and distributing phenomenal products for us to enjoy at very fair prices.

Review №41

It’s a nice, cozy little shop with fair trade coffee and gifts. I even picked up some dog treats to bring back home to my pup in Houston. The espresso machine was locked when I visited so I can’t attest to the latte I ordered and the chai latte was so sweet I couldn’t get past a few sips. I would probably be more upset with my experience if the employee behind the counter had not been so friendly and kind. If I was a local, I would probably try again– seemed like an off morning.

I stopped by on a day when live music was playing and had an excellent lavender latte for the first time. This cafe and art installation is unique and I plan to return and purchase some art items. The music was fun and relaxing and the ambience welcoming. Staff do an outstanding job and I am very impressed with the lavender flavor. As a nonprofit free trade type of organization, I appreciate their work.

Review №46

Global gallery is my favorite go to place for coffee and enjoying the patio. The inside is gorgeous and their support for local artists is amazing. However, a staff member that i see on occasion always seems sort of down or “not in the mood” and i get that things right now suck but i feel like im inconveniencing her asking for water or ordering in general. I dont want to get anyone in trouble and i dont want to see anyone struggling. But i feel uncomfortable at times coming in and seeing her at the counter. Theres no conversation and she seems incredibly unhappy to be there. I hope shes doing okay.Besides that global gallery is a badass coffee shop and i will forever adore this place and their amazing community they have built!!

Good coffee, good food, great atmosphere. This is my favorite place to sit outside with coffee in Columbus. If you care about supporting sustainable local food or ethically traded coffee this place is a must to check out. Plus you can buy some of that same good coffee and food to take home with you. They have friendly staff- never had a problem with service. Also they have a shop with fair trade goods in the back thats worth checking out.

Global Gallery is awesome! It hits every check mark. Good coffee, good specialty drinks, good seasonal drinks, good selection of good baked goods (and they usually have donuts from Tupelo), the staff are friendly, the atmosphere is nice and cozy, theres a bunch of seating space, and its nice to sit outdoors when the weather is warmer. Plus, if youre looking for a nice gift for someone, they have plenty of those—from art to scarves and more. My favorite drink has to be the nitro cold brew when its warmer out or the chai latte when its colder out.

Whoops! My review didnt post! This place is lovely for almost any kind of activity. The outdoor seating is fantastic and the drinks are out of this world. I had the Houses Iced Chai to start and it was well-balanced and flavorful compared to a lot of similar drinks. For food, I tried out the Veggie Momos and they were incredible! The birds are friendly outside and flew through the canopy as well as walked up to us. Lovely place to visit, study, and enjoy the atmosphere!

A very quaint and quiet place to get a great cup of coffee in Clintonville. Seating is limited but when its nice outside patio seating is abundant. Fresh and amazing coffee with limited food menu spent all homemade and delicious. Treats from around Columbus such as croissants and baked goods are available. Not only do they have coffee but they do provide alcohol, happy hour and specialty drinks.

Stopped in the other day for a coffee as I had heard good things about the place. The employee behind the counter was on the phone, so we waited....after a few minutes he said hed be right with us. We continued to wait. After at least 5 minutes he was still chatting away so walked out. If it doesnt dawn on someone to put a call on hold and take a customers order then they apparently dont need my business.

Review №78

My favorite coffee house in Clintonville! I wish I lived in the area part way for this little shop. The staff is GREAT, especially the owner who is so nice. I love the energy and inclusiveness of this shop. They support fare trade, women merchants and everything local. Their homemade chai is my favorite of the drinks, my Persian friend said it’s the real deal. They also sell my favorite vanilla extract that is from a village of women. They sell food too so from lunch to dinner you can get a good meal here. The prices are great too, and everything is high quality. They have a small seating area near the counter, a room with tables in the store area and outdoor tables and benches. Parking can be tricky since the lot only holds 3 cars so you have to rely on high street/side streets, but it’s so worth it. This is an ethical business and I’m happy to support it! 💕 their loyalty/rewards club is the icing on the cake! 💖
