Upper Cup Coffee

The coffee is so good. Spectacular. Delicious. So good that I went back multiple times. If you’ve gotten this far in my review, you should’ve already put the address into your GPS & should be on the way there. By far the best latte I have ever had.

It is a coffee shop so there is ample seating, lots of planets, and it is decorated nicely.

I’ve been on a journey trying new coffee shops around the city! And coffee shop has some goooood coffee!! I got the Carmel Iced Latte with Oatmilk! Which was phenomenal, the service was great. The atmosphere seemed as though it had a cool / laid back vibe. I got my coffee to go and by oh boy was I happy with my order! Thank you Upper Cup Coffee!! If you are in the area, or just wanting to try a new place, stop by Upper Cup and get some coffee!

This place has a good vibe, good tunes playing (but not too loud to work), a decent amount of cozy seating, and outlets. The drink menu has all the essentials, and they serve breakfast/lunch sandwiches all day. My basic oat milk latte was very solid and had good quality espresso. The egg and turkey sandwich was decent, less expensive than your average shop, and I'd eat it again. The shop is black-owned, and all the servers/baristas seem to be really cool people. I'm glad to come back any time.

Great coffee & tea and amazing employees! I love all the plants and how they display various local artists. Upper Cup is an OTE staple. Go see for yourself 😊

I had an iced caramel latte and it was absolutely delicious. I also bought a bag of whole beans from El Salvador and made coffee at home and it was a delight. The two staff members I spoke two were knowledgeable and friendly, but I didn't get their names.

I wouldn't recommend it as a quiet study space because it was rather noisy. But it would be great for hanging out and chatting over coffee. I will definitely be back, especially to try the other beans they have available.

Dirt cheap coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Try the Upper Egg, very good. Baristas were very friendly

Upper Cup Coffee Co. on Parsons - truly, an unmatched gem.

It’s not just about the exquisite coffee and delectable sandwiches, but the ambiance itself. The impeccable customer service never fails to impress.

Every journey in search of the perfect cup of coffee always ends up bringing us back here. Why? Because it’s simply unparalleled, that’s why!

It's definitely a personal and crowd favorite. From coffee (obviously) to tea, specialty drinks, snacks, atmosphere, location, service... you can't go wrong. More parking has been added over the years, making the morning stop or afternoon pop in a cinch.

Really a unique place to get a Caffeine buzz!
They were making their lattes using a pour over on ice And adding cream.
Nothing needs to be explained. It was awesome pictures will show you.
My wife and I had Ethiopian coffee pour over !
Really friendly staff and explained there process!
I’m coming back

Stopped in for a cup of coffee and dessert but found that their food for the day was almost gone. We loved the coffee and hot chocolate and the owner was kind enough to take their one last remaining pastry and cut it in 3 pieces for the perfect sweet bite that we needed.

The best coffee you're going to find in OTE!
They roast their own coffee beans and have great options. The food is also really good too!
To top it off the employees are super friendly and welcoming.
I love coming by here before work for my morning cup of coffee.

Update: still coming back after many years!

Made a quick pit stop here on the way home of a long drive. Glad we did! There’s a small parking lot next to the building. The vibe is very laid back, the employees are friendly. The coffee and spicy turkey sandwich were all great.

Great local and black-owned coffee roaster. Probably the best coffee in town. We always get our beans for home here. Comfortable and friendly atmosphere. Not open late.

Best coffee in Columbus, hands down. They roast their own beans which we take home! My spouse is very into making great quality pour over coffee and he says nothing compares to Upper Cup ( stauf’s is overrated bc it’s more widely known). I love their iced mochas! We would love if they added a grandview / upper Arlington location!

Great place to take friends! They have wonderful coffee and the atmosphere is awesome. They have chess boards you can check out while you're there too. The only issue is that on weekends it can get busy, but that's because it's a great spot!

Discovered a treasure coffee shop during the journey! The coffee here is very to my taste, and other food is also great

One of my favorite places in the whole city, if not my top favorite. I’ve been coming here for years. Awesome staff, fantastic drinks and roasts, and rotating art. The breakfast sandwich is so good.

The space is cozy (all brick) but not too small. Plants, art, chess boards, bikes, and seating without the too-cutesy, try hard vibe you get in some coffee shops. Also, the prices are probably the most affordable around. Almost always filled with all kinds of folks chatting. It gives 90s New York vibes. It’s truly one of a kind in Columbus, you gotta go to understand!

Great local spot with top-notch espresso. I used to hang out here once a week while my daughter had choir practice nearby. Now I just always stop by when in the area.

Hands down the best coffee of my life. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We also ordered one of their breakfast sandwiches and a cronut which were both fantastic. I would like there to be more seating but I understand the limitations of the space. Thank you so much for the awesome experience!

The best latte I’ve ever had! Great coffee, excellent prices and awesome atmosphere. My new fave spot!
