Kafe Karryout

Kafe Kerouac is a great place to go just for the vibes. The shop is a cool place and they have a good variety of seating. The employees are friendly too. The service is definitely not the fastest but I’m guessing that’s because they don’t have many people working. However, as long as you’re not in a rush, it’s really not an issue. The coffee was good and really inexpensive compared to other coffee shops! but probably not the best coffee I’ve ever had. Still, if you’re looking for a fun, interesting, and inexpensive place to get coffee this is the place for you!

Kafe Kerouac has been amazing to me every time I've visited. The prices are very good, although not listed, and the coffee and chai is amazing! Their baked goods are good, I've only tried the bagels. As you can see through my pictures, their bathroom is a little all over the place, but in that same way it is something unique that only Cafe Kerouac can offer. I hope you enjoy this place as much as I do.

It was raining and we were looking for coffee. We saw this coffee place and stopped by. I got a cup of mocha, and my mum got a regular drip coffee. The coffee was decent, nothing fancy or extraordinary. The place looks super chill though. It was a Friday evening, and was fully packed. People were chilling and hanging out over coffee. I would love to go back to spend time there

I love the vibes here. If I was in college, I would be here all of the time. There's the cafe, board games, used books, events, and study spaces with some noise. It's close to campus so it's perfect for students looking for a place to study that also sells drinks.

I visited Kafé Kerouac, at 2250 N. High St. in the "University District" neighborhood of Columbus, for my first time in several years, on 10-2-2023. During 2014 at Kafé Kerouac, I had attended the "Columbus launch" for "Sunday Assembly," a "non-religious gathering for non-religious people who want a similar communal experience to that of a religious church." That event had been my first time ever to visit Kafé Kerouac; the south dining room provided a great location for "Sunday Assembly" for the next several years. During 2019, also at Kafé Kerouac, I attended several events that had been hosted by a different non-religious organization. I decided to visit Kafé Kerouac on 10-2-2023 while on my way to a discussion [about "cults"] at University Baptist Church, two blocks to the southwest. Nearly all of what Kafé Kerouac sells is beverages that contain either alcohol or caffeine, neither of which I drink. However, they do sell bagels so I decided to stop there for a bagel while on my way to the discussion group. The bagels at Kafé Kerouac are delicious. I ordered and ate a jalapeño-cheddar bagel with cream cheese that probably had been the most delicious bagel that I have eaten in many years. If you are in the "north campus" area of the "University District" and you are looking for a great place to hang out [as long as you purchase something there] [and to do your schoolwork if you are a student], I recommend Kafé Kerouac.

Had just gone to the comic shop down the road and they were incredibly rude. Stopped here for a coffee after and they happened to have a really good selection of comics and got a good deal on a stack. Thanks for being cool. Coffee was great, thanks againFood: 5/5

Atmosphere was relaxed and calm. We were not greeted when we walked in, but the barista was nice when he spoke to us. The latte I received had no caramel flavor like I asked and paid for, and the espresso tasted cheap and burnt. I LOVE chai and make it myself daily whilst always trying new places when I travel, this chai however was really gross to me with an off flavor. Not impressed at all honestly. As soon as we walked out the door I threw both the latte and chai away , waste of money.

Loved how much space there was! Staff was kind but it may be a little loud bc it’s next to a busy intersection so bring headphones. I was lucky to get parking but if not it may be harder. The specialty drinks are so special I want to come back. Also surprisingly cheap!Recommended dishesSpecialty Coffee

Very cute coffee house records and bar. Nice atmosphere. If I was a local this would be a daily stop. Parking: Morning time we parked in front of the houses. Kid-friendliness: During the am. Not sure about night

Best coffee shop in Columbus! Latte menu named after famous authors, books and records for sale, cheap beer like high quality local beer but cheap price, board games, great place to meet friends, personable staff. I can't say enough great things about this place!Food: 5/5
