Stauf's Coffee Roasters

Stauf's was my first experience to coffee when I first moved here over 30 yrs ago. Back then it really was just in Grandview and Germ Village. Its what I first think of when you say roaster or Columbus coffee.

For the past ten years they have had booth in the middle of the North Market and this is where I found them still!

At this location you can get a smaller variety of their roasts but they have most of the super popular ones.

They have some excellent dark roasts. Our favorite is Baba Budin. So today we stopped in for a chai latte (me) and a Baba for the hubby. We left very happy.

If you haven't tried Staufs... Its worth the wait in the wrap around line to get it. Specially on a cold day. Cheers!

Our first stop at a Stauf's location. Been wanting to try it. We were wandering through the north market and stumbled upon this location and decided to give it a try. It's a cute location and the employees were great.

I got the iced latte with English toffee flavoring and it was delicious. My husband got the cold brew coffee. It's kind of his staple drink to try at a new coffee shop. He didn't even need the vanilla flavoring he normally gets. He enjoyed it with just alittle cream. They had some unique sweeteners too

We will definitely stop in again.

Located in the North Market at 59 Spruce Street. I do have to say that was not the best service this visit, but I do love Stauf's coffee.

I came in close to 5:15pm on 12/21/22. Easy parking in the North Market lot and was picking up some last minute gifts. The guy working the stand was sitting at the bar table, looking down and doing something on his phone. I waited a bit since he appeared to be in the middle of something than finally made some some little noise to get his attention. He mumbled something about not seeing me and came to the counter. It was just kind of awkward.

I purchased a pound of whole bean coffee so was able to mark that off the list. The service was just ok and he literally just grabbed a bag from the shelf. It is the holidays so I felt obligated to tip when he flipped the screen around. Besides I generally have decent service here and it could have been a busy day prior to me coming in. You never know.

I have had good experiences here and exceptional service in the past but didn't care for this last trip too much. I will most likely hit another preferred location next time.

Whichever shop you go, make sure to grab some coffee. I personally have never had a bad flavor (cup or pound). Also, helpful reminder when at the North Market, get your parking validated if you parked in the main lot.

Great spot for a quick coffee break!

Got off the plane in Columbus and knew I had a bit of a drive ahead of me so I wanted to get a quick pick-me up. The cold brew was lovely; not too acidic and I was grateful for the variety of non-dairy creamers/milks.

The brownie was a blend of fudgey and cakey which was perfect and it wasn't sooo decadent that I couldn't finish it. It was the perfect little treat.

Enjoyed it outdoors while listening to live music being played.

Perfect coffee. In a Sunday morning continuous line of folks coming into North Market for the coffee. The service is great. Line moves fast.
Some counter space to sit or you can sit outside on the tables in the front
This is how coffee should be

Had the vanilla iced latte with almond milk. Was pleased to be greeted so kindly by a gentleman barista that showed me the iced drink options. It's a bit of an awkward set up on an inside corner of North Market's first floor-- very high in foot traffic. I asked if they were local and the gentleman told us about how Stauf's is a Columbus local chain that bought all of the Cup of Joe locations and are 3rd in local US coffee shops. I guess they distribute a lot of product throughout the US. Did not have to wait at all in order to place an order, waited a total of 2 minutes for coffee. Gentleman answered all my questions even through making the drink. Went on a Saturday around 4:30pm.

Great coffee and very nice service! I loved the atmosphere inside as well, it's the perfect place to get some work done or just read and hang out.

This coffee shop has me super conflicted.

Product: 1/5 (some of the worst beans I've had in any coffee shop)
Environment: 5/5
Parking: 2.5/5
Space: 5/5
Staff: 4/5

If you are a coffee snob, the coffee will disappoint you. It's all bitter, and if you look at their wholesale it's evident why. Wayyyy dark roasted beans dominate their product.

If you're someone looking for a great place to study and don't mind a sub-par product, this is your place. If you're fine with the dollar per hour of parking outside, you'll enjoy a nice afternoon studying. Their wifi is pretty responsive, they have a ton of tables for studying, and the environment is very friendly. Outlets all over the place. Staff is pretty friendly and will work you towards a drink, however their baristas aren't the most knowledgable since this is on the lower end of specialty coffee shops.

It's worth checking out for the environment. I honestly come here way more often to study than my review suggests.

I got latte it was boiling hot and somewhat milk taste weird. I did not like it at all.

It's been a minute since I've visited a Stauf's. Not because I don't love it or anything but well.. COVID. I've definitely been brewing coffee at home a lot more. However, a friend and I were on a brisk morning walk downtown and we both found ourselves in need of some coffee. The North Market wasn't too far and we knew we could get Stauf's! We walked our littles butts there and got in line just before the line started getting long.

The entire experience was quick and pretty much contactless. While I've been here before and of course it was different in the past, I'm glad they are taking extra steps to keep everyone safe and healthy.

I almost always get a latte from Stauf's, with soy milk, and sometimes with a flavoring and sometimes not. Vanilla is always a good choice. I love that some of their locations have lavender and wish they had it here, but it's all good. I'm so glad they are open and still serving their awesome coffee.
