Over here in Columbus, we’re big on coffee. Yeah, we get it – it’s a bit of a cliche to love coffee and then basically assume it as part of one’s personality. But yet here we are, not only making it a part of our personality, but taking the time to compile a coffee-specific list of the best spots to get a killer iced latte around Columbus.
You’ve probably never heard this said before and have definitely not seen it on a t-shirt ever – but first, coffee. If you’re into coffee, this is the list for you. Here’s the best iced lattes around Columbus!
Take a swig and read on.
Fox in The Snow Cafe
- 1031 N 4th St, Columbus, OH 43201
- 210 Thurman Ave, Columbus, OH 43206
- 38 W Bridge St, Dublin, OH 43017
- 160 W Main St G, New Albany, OH 43054 / more info
Oh Fox, how we love thee. Fox in the Snow is for sure one of those spots that stays consistently good. We don’t know what they’re feeding their baristas – but every one of them slays (if we do say so ourselves). Don’t worry, they’re up with the times and have plenty of milk options if you’re not a whole milk kinda person. But, we will say – their whole milk iced lattes are to die for. Don’t be alarmed by the milk. It looks curdled but its not. It’s just part of the process.
Parable Coffee
149 S High St, Columbus, OH 43215 / more info
This is without a doubt one of the coolest coffee shops in Columbus. It’s bubbling over with luscious greenery in every nook and has an incredible semi-circle bar that anchors the whole space. Apart from its stunning interior with wall-to-wall windows, Parable also happens to be an insanely good spot for an iced latte. If you don’t like plain lattes, you can spice it up with flavors like lavender, vanilla, mocha, and even hazelnut. All of their syrups are made in-house, so you can count on the quality.
Mission Coffee
11 Price Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43201 / more info
Mission Coffee is back, and they are truly all about the art of coffee. It is a unique shop with design elements that are hand-crafted by the owner. It’s a labor of love, and we can feel it (and taste it) in the shop. Guess what? They sustainably source their beans from locations around the world and then roast them in-house, right here in Columbus. To do a little debrief on the latte; the actual espresso has a deep, rich, honey-like flavor unlike any other we’ve had.
The Roosevelt
- 300 E Long St, Columbus, OH 43215
- 462 W Broad St, Columbus, OH 43215 / more info
Ugh, what can we say? We’re just big on coffee. The Roosevelt is too, and that’s especially evident in their iced lattes. They’ve got classic flavors like vanilla, mocha, and caramel, and other more vibrant flavors like maple and honey for a punch of flavor. One thing we love is that there’s no skimping when it comes to quantity. One iced latte will be the only caffeine fix you need for the day, but we’re not counting.
Stauf’s Coffee
- 1334 Neil Ave, Columbus, OH 43201
- 1277 Grandview Ave, Columbus, OH 43212
- 627 S 3rd St #1060, Columbus, OH 43206
- North Market, 59 Spruce St, Columbus, OH 43215 / more info
There are few things that compare to the smell of freshly roasted coffee, and at Stauf’s, their beans are roasted daily by hand. Stauf’s has been a well-loved cafe and roastery since 1988 and is committed to providing the highest quality coffee they possibly can. Their motto is that “the proof is in the cup,” and the coffee does all the talking – especially their delicious lattes.
