What can I say??? One of the best coffee in Columbus (if not the best).
I really loved the concept and the people I have found there. The spot and the atmosphere is amazing. I was lucky to find to seat, but I can imagine having hours where it will be more complicated. So, be patient.
However, I really enjoyed my stay there. My iced coffee with vanilla foam was amazing. Also the espresso was very well done and the blend they had was pretty solid.
Finally, people are very positive and nice. I enjoyed talking with them.
For sure, one of my favorite spot in Columbus… and I will go there many more times!!!

Today was my first time visiting Parable Coffee and it was an enjoyable experience. The decor is modernly chic. Comfortable seating either indoors or outdoors in their patio. I had their house made butter croissant and their latte with lavender and half & half which were simply delicious. Nice ambience with alike patrons. Nice and friendly staff. Metered parking out front, nearby, and nearby parking garages for a fee. Decent prices.

Best coffee shop in Columbus, hands down. The partners here know their stuff and can pull a mean shot or pour a great v60 with the best of them. Service is always welcoming and kind, and the atmosphere is great.
The real standout here are the signature drinks. While most shops lean heavily on classic combinations, Parable creates new flavor pairings and really unique coffee drinks that are balanced, delicious, and craveable. Their drinks are never cloyingly sweet, like chain offerings tend to be.

Very fancy coffee spot in the middle of downtown Columbus. The interior has a very nice and modern chill vibe which is perfect for hanging out or getting work done. They have very interesting and unique latte flavors which I enjoy. The only gripe I have is this is currently and officially the most expensive latte I have ever purchased for $9/each! Was it worth that much?… maybe not but at least it was a very good latte.

Beautiful coffee shop conveniently located on High street in downtown Columbus near the court house. Gorgeous interior full of lush foliage and modern furnishings. Plenty of seating. Friendly staff. Full assortment of coffee products. Delicious pastries especially the croissants!

Gorgeous interior with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Very friendly and helpful employees too.
The prices are a little high compared to other local shops ($9.00 for an 8oz Iced Americano before tip). I'll still most likely come back for the aesthetic, but order tea or drip coffee instead of espresso.
Edit: The iced Americano is $5. I added a shot since it was just an 8oz (assuming there's 2 shots in that). The extra single shot was $4.

Adorable little coffee shop with chill, friendly employees and innovative, delicious flavors. I know some think it's a steep price for 12 oz. of coffee, but read their website and social media before you judge - they are compensating everyone fairly! Online order is super smooth and helpful to me because I work downtown two days a week and don't have too much time on breaks. LOVE the pastries/baked goods they carry, too.

Yummy croissant with a strong and delicious pour over. They have a nice patio, friendly staff that are happy to answer your questions, and they are gratuity free because they pay their staff a lving wage. Only negative was that they didn't have almond or coconut milk, just oat and whole.

Very cozy coffee spot, enjoy the live plants and chill vibes. You cannot beat the pastries anywhere in Columbus! You HAVE to try the croissant supremes!

Met here with some Columbus friends while attending a con downtown. The interior is beautiful and cozy, and we all enjoyed our drinks a lot. I had a rosemary and pink peppercorn latte, very different and delicious from the standard fare at most other places. Worth the extra $$$ if you’re planning to sit around and chat! Parking was also very easy to find in the area.
