Brioso 
53 N High Street

Two great locations, same mean coffee. Brioso’s been fueling the city since 2001. Enjoy the bright, open design of their flagship location on High Street or chill out on the outdoor patio, and enjoy the sights and smells of their roastery and coffee bar at their Long Street location.

Café De Nook 
175 S 3rd Street  

A quaint, Parisian-style coffee shop tucked away inside 175 On the Park, their menu creatively features familiar names – like Hadley’s High-Rise and Joyce’s Java – disguised as delicious drinks. Sit inside on their plush furniture, or take your drink to go to sip in Columbus Commons.

Try: The Gertrude Stein Steamer, white chocolate and raspberry.
