Bada Bean Bada Booze

231 e 1st ave, columbus, oh

(3 other locations in columbus)

bada bean bada booze is one of my og coffee spots in columbus

i used to come here at least twice a week every week to work on my coffee blog (when it was first coming together, almost 2 years ago), read, crochet, stare out of the window

i generally only go to the italian village location, but once. i went to the grandview location and all the baristas complimented me and it was cute and i should just go there daily for an ego boost.

back in those days, i would often get an iced matcha (sweetened with vanilla) and an oreo donut from happy little treats. they truly have some of the best matcha in town (ive only tried like 2 matchas in columbus)

idk why i have taken so long to review bada bean, but i finally did, and this is copy and pasted from my notes app:

“currently dying eating their spicy sanwich rn.

something that starts w an F

cooking it down a ginger snapped latte

fr i am jotbok”


translation: they now have sandwiches they buy from a local vendor and sell there, the one i was eating was a spicy salami sandwich on focaccia bread. it was pretty spicy because i am a sensitive baby, but it was tasty.

i was trying to cool my mouth down with the latte i ordered, iced gingersnapped latte. which was delicious, by the way! so was the sandwich after i stopped sweating; ‘fr i am not ok’.

anyways.

bob ross is always playing on one of the tvs, music is always a vibe.

they have a large selection of coffees, teas, alcohol; also plenty of housemade seasonal syrups (win)

they now also sell breakfast and lunch items!

beans are from Florin Coffee 


here im usually after:

happy little treats

iced matcha latte

ive also had:

iced vanilla latte

iced gingersnapped

iced alpine

now that i think about it, bada bean has been a third place for me for some time, and i’m very appreciative of that. thanks, bada beans for being so cool beans!

i really should have more pictures, and i’m sure i do somewhere. but for now, thanks for reading! <3
