Kafe Kerouac - Columbus, Ohio

Today was my first visit and I will definitely be a repeat customer when I find myself in Columbus again! I had a double shot of espresso, The Mark Twain and a cheddar jalapeno bagel.

Bagel was great! Very fresh! The Mark Twain latte had perfectly textured milk and the double shot was chef's kiss!

They got a rush while I was there and handled it really well. You can trust you're in good hands here! Thanks for a great experience friends!

I have visited this place a number of times and absolutely adore it! Not only do they have good coffees, their author-inspired drinks are both creative and delicious. I love how they display artwork and have even bought one of them, and gotten in contact with the creator when I posted it on Instagram! Fantastic atmosphere and great service.

Every town needs a place just like this. If you are a new student, you must go here at least once. I'm not in the area often, but I always make a stop when I can. I would recommend the Jane Austen iced, that is my go to, but the Dr Seuss looks pretty good too! If coffee is not your vibe, they do have some alcohol drinks, as well as used books, records, games, and a nice game library for those who need a break from studying. They also have a few Vegan baked goods for sale from Patty Cake (local vegan bakery) and will have a gluten free cookie from there too sometimes. Must see!

This place is such a vibe! The barista was so nice and welcoming to me. Literally held the door and took an interest in helping me choose a drink. I chose the Charles Dickens (extra sweet) and OH MY GAHHH! it was so good! I also got a homemade chocolate chip because I mean, who doesn’t like a chocolate chip cookie?! Anyway it was delicious 😋!! Ended up seeing this gentleman perform several of his original songs and a few covers. I really enjoyed the entire experience. Other patrons were doing their own thing (reading, working, playing games, socializing, etc.). When I visit Columbus again I’ll definitely come back 😊

Went there for Comedy Night and it was great. Plenty of seating for a small quaint college gathering place. Drinks were good. They serve alcohol and other beverages. Hot Chocolate was delicious and so was the vodka and cranberry. Moderate price and comfort atmosphere.

This cafe is the perfect place to hang out with friends or immerse yourself in something creative. The vibe is unique and cozy - the antithesis to any generic, sterile, overpriced cafe. Another plus, it's open late for late night coffee and cocktails!

For sure one of my favorites, if not my favorite cafe in Columbus. Tons of community events and open late, large selection of drinks. Great library and game selection. It has it all!

Great cafe with loads of character. Quality coffee at great prices. Excellent service, too. Skip soulless Starbucks and come here if you want to find a place with personality.
