Cafe Brioso

Really good cortado and the only place I've seen in Columbus that automatically serves it with a complimentary sparkling water. The two armchairs over in the front of the roaster side might be my favorite place to sit and enjoy a coffee in the city. Good selection of retail coffees as well. Their Curiosities collection has had some really interesting coffees lately, including an anaerobic processes Columbian single-origin.

First visit thoughts. There are several tables to bring your laptop and work. Some are barstool height, and some are shorter. The chairs suck and it's easy to slouch, leaving yourself a sore back afterwards. Workers were nice. Iced latte was average. I wish there was some water available. So many coffee shops offer that nowadays, without having to ask. It's fun to try something new, but I probably wouldn't go back.

I have nothing but praise for this coffee shop. It's spacious inside with a decent amount of seating, good WiFi, and outlets everywhere, so you can definitely plug in and work. I Ioved the daily pourover I had on my first visit -- honestly one of the best and most interesting pourovers I've had. Mocha with oat milk was pretty much perfection for me -- mildly sweet and strong. The drink menu keeps it simple for the most part and the pastry case has all vegan options from Happy Little Treats. You can tell the staff loves coffee, loves what they do, and there's plenty beans available to buy!

I don’t write public reviews often, however, I felt compelled to do so out of sheer respect. I have been ordering beans from Brioso for around 4 years and they have just been so consistently great the entire time. I always have a bag of Brioso beans in my home. I don’t to visit their locations as much as I’d like to, but when I have, I have always had a great experience and thoroughly enjoyed what I’ve ordered. Their prices are consistent with local roasters of their caliber and I feel that they have the best value per cup around, at least for my money. They are also quick to ship and locally deliver. Thanks to the entire Brioso team!
