Newly opened Stauf's Coffee in a renovated/converted church. Really beautiful location with open, bright space inside, a fantastic patio out front, and plenty of stained glass accents and a great layout inside. Stauf's is a classic Columbus coffee roasters, and this location adds charm to their repertoire of great coffee.

There's free WiFi, unisex restrooms (with appropriately glib signage on the door), and comfortable places to sit. Even the old church pews they kept around are great to sit on! It is not exactly library-quiet inside, but it's not meant to be THAT kind of coffee shop. There is a constant hum of cafe white noise, from machines whirring and grinding and frothing to the low din of conversation echoing across the completely open room.

They are not yet serving pour-over coffee (though it's listed on the menu board) but the drip coffee I had today was really good. They have done well to create a distinctly "Stauf's" flavor profile that I expect (and receive!) each time. I believe bulk coffee can be purchased by weight, whole bean, and they have grinders on site. I do not believe they roast on site, but the roasting is local.

My only suggestion would be to create a second "accessories" station (sugar, cream, lids, etc) to the right of the counter area. I noticed people who planned on staying would naturally gravitate that direction as they receive their beverage, but then would have to cut across or behind the long line of customers waiting to order to get to the accoutrements. Also, I was a little disappointed to see they are using plastic straws and stirrers. That might be because they JUST opened yesterday, but it is something I noticed.

The shop was pretty busy when we arrived around 9:30 on a Saturday, and it got much busier while we were there. Additionally, Saturdays during football season will get VERY busy, which we noted a few hours later. The line was all the way outside!

Overall it's a great addition to Victorian Village. It's the perfect kind of coffee shop for that neighborhood, with a mixture of residents and college kids, good weekly and weekend hours, and great coffee.
