    First trip. Turkey bagel and Jumping Monkey Mocha was delicious!

    There are two guys who work there, on of which is the owner. The other guy is the one I met and he was super friendly. Lends a personal element to the service. He made me a great breakfast bagel sandwich, and I had a solid cup of their medium roast coffee. I really liked the feel of the interior too. Very tuned into the community and local events. Very comfortable appearance.

    Good coffee. I bet the young female behind the bar isn't friendly because of the same looks that my chest got from the moment I walked through the door.

    This whole center, including Colin's and Figlio plus several other establishments, was just demolished to make way for condominiums (I've stopped there several times over the years and wanted to pay them homage).

    I have been here many times, and I think this might be the best coffee shop in Columbus. The coffee is BETTER than Starbucks, and the bagel sandwiches are delicious. The staff is always incredibly kind and the atmosphere is very inviting. I also love that they always have something new to read, while you wait for your coffee and food. This is a must-try for anyone who enjoys amazing coffee.

    The customer service is awesome here. The staff actually wants to talk to you and take care of you. The atmosphere reminds me of my home town on the beachside. The coffee is decent but not amazing. I came here a couple more times after my first time and unfortunately the espresso was bitter and burnt.

    My husband and his friend frequent this place for fellowship. I had to stop by and see what was special. I ordered a coffee, they had 4 kinds to choose from. They had specialties- I just ordered coffee and added almond milk (I’m on a wellness journey, so watching my calories). The barista was so friendly- my coffee is amazing, and I’ve now found a place to get a delicious coffee.

    I found this gem after seeing a waterfall near by and will return whenever I’m back in the area. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made an amazing cup of coffee.

    Was in the area and looking for coffee so decided to try. Will not be back for coffee. Shots were burnt, did not weigh coffee, portafilter was not cleaned between shots. Worst Americano I've had in a long time.

    Really lovely no-frills local coffee joint. Colin is a wonderful, engaging, and friendly person, and his staff are equally wonderful and kind. I love the pastries they offer from local businesses and the made-to-order food is also delicious and fresh. Their iced lattes really hit the spot and the hot drinks are also equally enjoyable. Can't go wrong.

  • 5/5 Ray C. 3 years ago on Google
    It is great to have a neighborhood coffee shop in this area. You can walk across the bridge to it. It has outdoor seating and is dog friendly.

  • 5/5 Alex F. 3 years ago on Google
    Colin was very friendly- he was helpful in explaining their process and also recommending other coffee shops/roasters around Columbus. Oh and the coffee is fantastic too :) Definitely will be returning!

  • 5/5 Chorotes96 1 year ago on Google
    Staff was super nice and since we don't live in the Columbus area they were telling us regarding what places to visit etc. Delicious coffee and sandwhich

  • 5/5 melissa p. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly and welcoming, Colin’s is a great place for your morning coffee and breakfast. The text line got drinks is easy to use too! Highly recommend this local gem!

  • 5/5 Alice B. 3 years ago on Google
    Clearly a well established coffee shop and it's easy to see why. There were regulars that stopped in to talk to Colin. Staff was nice and the coffee is great! It's fun to look at the eclectic decor that's around the shop and they also sell bags of coffee. The patio was my favorite because there is so much room for people or groups to be outside.

  • 3/5 Richard R. 3 years ago on Google
    Good coffee

  • 4/5 Darian L. 4 years ago on Google
    I recently got to check out Colin's Coffee and was quite happy. I like supporting local businesses where I can. The prices are comparable to larger places like Starbucks and they have many unique flavors if you like lattes and the like. The breakfast sandwiches were also good. I would recommend this place if you are looking a nice local coffee shop.

  • 5/5 Viktor B. 2 years ago on Google
    The best coffee in all of Columbus region. Awesome service, friendly, inexpensive, and the closest bagels to NY. I love their cappuccinos and mcroy sandwich which is a bagel egg and cheese with bacon.

  • 5/5 Hannah M. 3 years ago on Google
    Best coffee shop in town! We get Colin's atleast 2-3 times per week! Colin and the rest of his staff are so friendly and their text line is so convenient. Amazing coffee & sandwiches!

  • 5/5 John H. 3 years ago on Google
    Great drinks, anything you can get at the chain coffee shops uou can get here. Its nice to be able to support local businesses without making a sacrifice.

  • 4/5 Angel 3 years ago on Google
    Great flavors! Fun local setting for coffee.

  • 1/5 Jim M. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for coffee with a client. It was pretty cold and windy outside and wanted to sit inside. The ownet took out all inside seating and told us we had to sit outside. He said t works better for his business because no one is sitting around taking up space and it flows better. His business, he can do what he wants, so we went to McDonalds for very good coffee and mucher more affordable. How's that for customer focus!?

  • 4/5 Derek O. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a great latte there. It would be nice to have more indoor seating though. Most of the tables there are for standing

  • 4/5 D R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great local shop with very nice beverages. I miss the old Helen Hutchlee’s, but going in always brings back those memories. If you want to try something a little different, coffee-wise, and support local, this is a great business to do so with.

  • 4/5 Corey S. 2 years ago on Google
    Iced Coffee was just ok. Bagel egg sandwich was excellent. I’ll go back and try a different coffee and give it another chance.

  • 5/5 Temple M. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped at Collins Coffee for the first time today. So glad we did! The coffee was great, the service was fast and courteous. The best part was the chat we had with the owner, Collin, who truly enjoys people. What a treat! Stop by if you have a chance!

  • 5/5 katie c. 3 years ago on Google
    It was so appetizing. Really nothing but great experiences here, so I will be back.

  • 5/5 Michael E. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful atmosphere and community focused. One of the few independent coffee shops here in Upper Arlington. All their flavored coffees are top notch.

  • 5/5 Rich P. 3 years ago on Google
    It's a great shop, awesome personable staff. Collin is a great person and great to talk with

  • 5/5 Jaret W. 1 year ago on Google
    Have gone every day this week to Colin’s, the only independent coffee shop in Upper Arlington. It’s such a wonderful environment to start off your day and one of my favorite coffee shops I’ve ever been to. The staff is awesome and treats every customer like a friend, the coffee is great (buckeye mocha is my favorite) and the bagels are also fantastic.

  • 5/5 Louie R J. 9 months ago on Google
    Was in the neighborhood and wanted a local cup of coffee, so I swung by Colin’s. Took a drip coffee with oat milk and a bagel breakfast sandwich. Both were excellent! Will definitely pop back again when I’m in the area. Note: If you’re paying with a card or Apple Pay, etc, make sure you mention you want to add gratuity before they take payment. There’s a little hand written note about it on the counter, but I overlooked it until after I paid.

  • 5/5 Ken K. 9 months ago on Google
    Wow. This place is awesome. Close to my daughter's house so when we went there for the weekend, we stopped for coffee. Excellent coffee. Can't wait to stop there again!

  • 5/5 Christin W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good coffee, definitely a new favorite coffee spot. I wish I would have gotten a larger drink now.

  • 5/5 Tonia R. 9 months ago on Google
    I went to Colin’s Coffee on my way to the doctors office. The coffee was delicious and everyone was so kind and helpful. I will definitely be back, and tell my friends about the sweet folks at Colin’s Coffee!

  • 5/5 Trung P. 8 months ago on Google
    Really awesome local coffee shop that I randomly discovered in UA. Firstly, there is a large parking lot with an abundance of parking. The shop is open space concept with glass windows and nice standing tables (helpful for people who have a hard time sitting like me, especially with caffeine). The coffee was fresh and warm. Enjoyed a cup of Joe with a McRoy everything bagel that hit the spot. Very friendly staff. I’d pick this place over a mainstream coffee shop any day.

  • 5/5 Morgan B. 9 months ago on Google
    An Upper Arlington gem that will be missed when the Golden Bear Shopping Center is closed. It has a very authentic local coffee shop vibe with cute/funny window art, funny notes on the menu, great drinks, and unbeatable prices. If you haven't been, do yourself a favor and visit before closing day on August 20th. A piece of community will be lost when they close.

  • 5/5 Paul K. 5 months ago on Google
    Collins is it a new shared space with the Daily Growler! Awesome space and same great service

  • 5/5 Joe F. 5 months ago on Google
    Visited the new, shared space for Colin's Coffee. I ordered the Buckeye Madness. Drink was quickly prepared and tasted great. There is more seating at Daily Growler then the former location. The new location lacks some charm from the previous location.

  • 3/5 Anna S. 3 years ago on Google
    The coffee was just okay but I would go back simply for the great service

  • 5/5 Shawna T. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Lindsay C. 3 years ago on Google
    I am constantly seeking coffee shops that not only have delicious coffee beans, but also have a welcoming atmosphere and genuine staff. Colin’s checks all of these boxes, and more! Colin himself is present just about every time I visit. Him and his staff will leave you with the most energized smile!
