Brioso Coffee

Had a couple various cups of coffee (Americano, pour over, and their batch pour over) and they're all solid choices. Went to breakfast there every day I was in Columbus and got the egg biscuit. Again it's great. The employees have all been friendly and relaxed.

Staff is super friendly. I went during off peak hours to grab a sandwich- order was somehow never sent to kitchen. I had to take off and asked for a refund but cashier was unable to figure out how to refund my money even with my receipt in hand. I eventually just let them keep the $5- seems a little chaotic and unorganized. I'm from out of town. Maybe just a fluke. Finished a great cup of coffee while I stood around waiting.

This place has some amazing tasting espresso beans..love the cappuccino! Also their homemade breakfast sandwiches and fantastic. Unfortunately, some of the staff comes off as very rude and pretentious, which certainly hampers my morning. However, that does not include all staff here - as some are very kind and helpful.

Stopped in as part of a coffee tour with a friend when in town recently. Food was pretty good. As a home roaster I enjoyed buying green coffee beans. Their roasted and brewed coffee, while decent, has considerable room for improvement. There's probably little competition in that area of town. Much better freshly roasted coffee is available from several shops on High St. near campus. The place needs a good cleaning or at least some new carpet.

Some of the best coffee in all of Ohio. The owner is very awesome and the staff love to provide great coffee and food. A must visit! They make everything they can in-house and are particular about quality and service. Whenever I am in the area, I make sure to stop by this or the roastery for a great cup of coffee.

A wonderful traditional cappuccino! The staff was incredibly patient and friendly. I love the cycling environment. The streets were lined with bikes. I've driven through Columbus many times but never stopped, that ends today! From this day forward any time I am in the area I will be making a stop at Brioso

Very good coffee. Good location. Nice place to sit and relax. Also, you get at least one free refill if you stay and drink first cup in a mug. Definitely worth the price

It feels like you are in a major city on Gay St. Brioso fits right in. You'll see hipsters, professionals and both suburbanites and city dwellers. Reasonable prices and a big selection of food and coffee. I'm a tea drinker and love the loose tea bags that are made to order.

Previously 2 stars.

I believe environment influences emotion and behavior. I believe the new digs and the new set up has gone a long way in turning this place around. Employees seem happier and the coffee selection has swung a full 180 as well. New equipment a new outlook a scaled version of pastry that are delicious. If you can snag a hand pie before they vanish I strongly recommend you do so. Seating is good given the space of operations. Nothing but wishes of success.

While they have a limited coffee selection compared to other coffee shops around, they do offer a stamp on the Columbus Coffee Experience guide book and the staff is usually very interactive. If you are looking for variety AND consistency, they aren't good for that, but they have a consistent rotation of decent coffee.
