What a cute place and walking distance from our downtown hotel. Great coffee and a super creative menu. Our only regret is that they're closed on the weekend so my wife did not get to visit!

This place is so cute! There's typically a crowd from the business above that comes in at 9am but the baristas are quick! And they don't sacrifice flavor in their espresso or coffees for how quick they are!! I highly recommend their iced lattes with oat milk. If you are celiac or gluten free like me they have a couple of options like kind bars, gf oatmeal cups, and this protein bar (my personal fav)! Their bagels and muffins look great too! Love the atmosphere and definitely a must-go place if you're looking for a great cup of coffee in Columbus!

The most homey coffee shop. I love the ambiance, and the cozy feeling. The coffee drinks are excellent. The staff is always friendly and helpful! Prices are the same as most places. It can get loud if there are a lot of people in there, but great place for a coffee date. I love stopping here while in Columbus.

Cafe de Nook is awesome :) Went here for the first time with my manager to co-work last fall, and I stopped in again at some point this Spring. It's a little bit of a pain to get to this place because it's right downtown located in the lobby of an office building. You're stuck with the paid street parking around the building, but it's still worth it. It's small, quaint, and Parisian-inspired on the inside. The drinks are creative, and their seasonal menu options will likely always be the go-to for me. In the fall I had a hot blue moon latte that I'll never forget, and in the spring I had a rose latte. The rose latte was lovely too! There is a reason that this spot is one of the top coffee spots in the city. Definitely check it out at least once if you haven't been.

I stopped here looking for some caffeine on a long road trip. I ordered a latte with vanilla and was tempted by the scrumptious looking blueberry muffin, so I added one of those to my order as well. The interior of the cafe is charming and decorated in an over-the-top Parisian style. The woman working as barista was friendly and provided fast service. My latte was good, but I didn't get much vanilla flavor and the coffee tasted a bit a harsh compared with other lattes I've tried. Perhaps they didn't use as much cream as others. It still did the trick and was enjoyable enough. Not sure where their baked goods come from, but the blueberry muffin was absolutely delicious. We sat at a table and ate our treats while sipping our drinks before we left. There were a few people doing work on computers, but otherwise it was pretty slow and mostly empty while we were there on a Friday early afternoon. My wife ordered the Parisian Fog, which I thought was tastier than my latte. She enjoyed it along with her French Vanilla muffin in the Parisian atmosphere. Since I'm not living in Columbus, who knows when I'll be back, but it was a positive experience overall, and I would recommend to anyone looking for coffee in the area.
