Cafe De Nook — Restaurant in Columbus

My fiancée and I came in today (Wednesday around noon), and ordered a muffin and a smoothie.

The muffin prices were good, but balanced by the disappointing muffin, which completely lacked anything inside of it, while having chocolate chips on the top. This is consistent with my fiancée's blueberry muffin a few years ago, which had no blueberries inside, just on the top.

The smoothie was priced in a pretty average way, but tasted watered down and like it was half ice, which was disappointing to say the least.

The service was okay. The barista didn't notice us when we came in, and we didn't really feel like we were greeted upon entry. This wasn't necessarily a problem, just didn't contribute to the visual atmosphere, which was very cutely decorated.

I really love this coffee shop. Of all the coffee shops I've been to in Central Ohio out of the Columbus Coffee Experience (17), this shop ranks the highest in terms of quality, friendly staff. Any questions I had were answered. The decor of the shop is Parisian and adds a lot to the experience. The available snacks were delicious especially the chocolate croissants and the seasonal favorites specialty drinks are some of the best I've had. Even the ambient background music fits this place and the experience well. I wish more coffee shops provided this experience and I will be certain to stop by...
