Global Gallery Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Columbus

The baristas at Global are so kind. Not only do they know what they talking about when it comes to coffee and other drinks, they are just good people. I recommend the Chai with Oat Milk. It just tastes SO good.

Apart from the drinks, it is a nice location to study. There is one handicap parking spot by the store. There aren't too many parking spots right by the store, but you should have little trouble finding parking on the street. There are low tables so it is accessible for people who may need wheelchairs. The outdoor seating is nice and spacious. Most of the outdoor seating is on benches, so accessing the seats can be difficult, but sitting on the ends is no issue. The outdoor seating can be distracting due to the cars constantly zipping by. This is a great place to bring pets and service animals are definitely welcome. During the coronavirus, outdoor seating is safer option but do not fret because there is a tent set up in case of rain. Everything is pretty accessible. The bathrooms are relatively small. It would be difficult to use the restroom if you have a wheelchair or need more space to sit and stand.

The overall environment is very welcoming. The menu is easy to read, but the baristas will more than love to help you order a drink suited for you.

During this time of Covid, only a couple people can enter to order their drinks at this time. The outdoor seating gets sanitized per request, but there is also signage to let people know if the tables have been...

I had thought I would become a frequent at this place. I liked the vibe and it is clean and the service is usually pretty good. As a customer service worker myself, I try not to make a big deal out of instances when the employees get a little snippy with me because I understand what it's like to have a bad day. However, I do think instances like these should be pointed out so that we can do better. It was busy, so it was difficult to hear -- I went inside to find out the wifi password and the employee instructed me where the sign with the wifi password was located. I couldn't hear very well so I thought he said "big shelf" ( there are large shelves lining the main area of this shop) so I went over there in search for the sign with the password on it. In a room full of people, not only did he raise his voice and say "BAKE shelf BAKE shelf," but once I went over to it, in a very condescending way, he said "there you go." Not only was it embarrassing but it was enough for me to go ahead and pack up my stuff and leave, where I then took my business elsewhere. I love to support local when I can. I love to support workers. But there are things that are okay and things that are not okay and it was just downright rude and uncalled for. I will not be spending my money here anymore.

I will add a positive that the young man who served me initially, even under the pressure with it being busy, was kind even under pressure, so...

Oh my goodness gracious this coffee shop is so good! I'm glad we decided to try it out. I got a pumpkin chai - I don't love my drinks super sweet and let him know as much. He had a conversation with us to understand our tastes and made our drinks perfectly. I have dietary restrictions and the place offers a lot of options that can accommodate people. Some food items are vegan, some are gluten free, and the person who helped us is so kind and welcoming. They have art around you can look at and a community board where people can post. They sell a lot of different things, too - gloves, pins, etc. The vibe is chill. They have indoor seating, outdoor seating, and even additional outdoor seating in a little heated chamber where you can still see all around you but not have to be in the wind. It's awesome. 10/10 would come again.

If you're handicapped in a way where you need a wheelchair this place is accessible, BUT you would need someone to help you open the front door and it may be tough going through some spots if it's busy because of narrow space in some areas inside. If it's not busy then I think it would be very easy so long as you're with someone who can open the door for you. Outdoor seating has plenty of perfectly easy places to sit with...
