We've rounded up some of our favorite places to get caffeinated in our capital city. Skip the Starbucks this morning and stop by one of these locally owned coffee shops!
Owner Micael Habte grew up in Eritrea, Africa. Throughout his life there, he watched his mother roast coffee beans as part of a traditional coffee ceremony. He decided to bring his love of coffee to Columbus as a wholesale operation in 2010 and then opened an adorable retail location in 2011. Today, you can visit their shop and experience Habte's passion for coffee first hand in the historic Olde Town East neighborhood.
