Java Central Cafe And Roaster

One of my favorite coffee shops in the Columbus area. The drinks tend to be a little sweet for my taste, so I usually request half the sugar, but overall, I really love this place!

Celiac friendly/gluten free coffees and syrups. Dedicated toaster. Supports LGBTQIA+ queer and POC folks and women’s rights. Direct trade coffee roasted by Java Roastery. My favorite coffee shop in the world.

Great coffee, great specialty drinks and tea, tasty desserts and our favorite Saturday place to hangout and listen to some great music. Ralph does a great job bringing in talented musicians and creating a fun atmosphere. Ver carta

Coffee was good, but $4.50 for drip coffee? The average price for other boutique roast in-house coffee shops is $3.00…..and I’ve never seen it higher than 3.30. This is 50% above industry standard, and cannot be a place for the regular coffee drinker.

The venue is fantastic, but the prices are excessively high. Many items should be 25-50% less than they currently are. The quality is typical for a coffee shop of this kind, but charging $7 for a cappuccino makes no sense. They could definitely improve in this area.

I spent Saturday night with friends at Java Central and had a fantastic time listening to the talented band, Avalon Nine. We had an absolute blast—it’s been a while since we’ve laughed and enjoyed a night out like this. I highly recommend trying the Buckeye drink. It’s a great place overall! We’ll definitely be back.

I drove in from Pittsburgh to see Brady and Tim perform, and I had an amazing time! It was a fantastic night filled with live music. The entertainment was great, and everyone was so friendly, including the wonderful staff. I also tried a frozen raspberry mocha, which I absolutely loved! I can't wait to come back again!

The coffee drinks here are a delight to sample, bursting with flavor. They also offer alternative creamers, such as soy and almond milk. Although the front of the establishment appears small, it extends back and features a spacious room filled with additional tables and walls adorned with captivating artwork that adds interest and inspiration. Don't forget to ask for the Wi-Fi password so you can get some work done while you relax.

I've been dining here for over 10 years and will continue to do so, but I have a few recent concerns. First, I really wish they would bring back the 12oz to-go cups. I prefer a smaller drink, and a lot of the larger servings end up going to waste. Additionally, during my last visit, I requested a warmed croissant, but it was sliced open and toasted like bread. The latte was delicious, but it could have been a bit hotter. These are just minor issues, but overall it's still a fantastic place. The staff is incredibly friendly, and their new menu items, like the club sandwich, are fantastic and compete well with other lunch spots around town. Ver carta
