We all like to drink it, but do you know where the coffee in your cup came from? Well, father and son team, Mark and Dave, set out on a mission to answer that very question. With a promise to the community to find better, sustainable coffee, they started their first roaster in 2009. To this day, they continuously travel the globe to monitor the bean farms and learn stories from their growers.

One Line has a rotating list of beverages available throughout the year. You can purchase their coffee brewed fresh in their cozy shop, or you can order online if you’re on the run. As stated on their website, “think global, buy local.”

Stauf’s
Address: 1277 Grandview Ave
Phone: (614) 486-4861

 

“Really nice place, large seating area, friendly staff, good Coffee,” one patron exclaimed! What more could you need? Stauf’s, a micro-roaster, has been serving up the highest quality Arabica coffees to their customers since 1988.

Located in a historic building, which has both indoor and outdoor seating, the team at Stauf’s are extremely passionate about coffee. They source their beans from over 20 different countries and even roast them in-house! Each cup is made to order on their gas-fired roasters to ensure each cup is fresh and has reached it’s highest flavor potential.

Stop into the shop today, or sign up for their Coffee by the Month program. Each month you’ll get a delivery to your door of their hand-picked coffee.

Cup O Joe
Address: 2990 N High St
Phone: (614) 447-7563

 

From the folks over at Stauf’s Coffee Roasters, Cup O’ Joe has been a neighborhood staple for over a decade now. Best of all, the shop is close to the Ohio State campus, making it a very convenient and student-dominated hangout and study spot.

Like Stauf’s, Joe’s offers both indoor and outdoor seating to their customers. They have a diverse menu that includes a mix of delicious sandwiches and baked goods. Another plus of Joe’s is that their prices are extremely reasonable, especially compared to some other neighborhood shops. Be sure to get there early for their famous jalapeno cheddar bagels before they run out for the day!
