Parable Cafe

“Excellent coffee, great wine list, friendly and knowledgeable staff.”

A really cool coffee shop and cafe in downtown Columbus. Their pastry assortment was out of this world. One of the better croissants I have had in the US. I loved all the plants which gave it a crisp and airy atmosphere. It felt light and bright and there is ample seating! Honestly, the baristas came across a bit cold and pretentious, but the place is still worth a visit. I loved the possible drink concoctions they offered. I had a guava iced latte and it was delicious. I would love to stop here again if I am visiting Columbus.

Great place right in downtown with a great interior, stylish decoration, delicious coffee with a beautiful latte art and friendly staff. Service was great and the atmosphere was nice! Seemed quite busy for an early morning and the reason is that their coffee is really good! Just a right amount of bitterness and roasted to the right point. Definitely recommend to try it “for here” so you can enjoy gorgeous art on the latte foam .

I’ve been here for cocktails a few times and always loved it. I came today for happy hour specials. 1/2 off cocktails. $10 burger and fries. Amazing. (HH is Wed-Sun from 3-6). The olive burger was excellent. For reference, my favorite burger in town has been at Columbus Brewing Company ($8 on Tuesdays without fries). The parable burger knocked it out of the #1 spot. For $10, I was expecting a very small burger. It was basically full sized. The olive tapenade was fantastic. The fries were so good. The cocktails, as always, were perfect. The service, as always, was great. Also, there’s no tippin

We came on a Saturday around noon. Ordered and then found a seat while we waited for our drinks and food. We were lucky and snatched the last table. By the time we left around 12:40, there were a few tables open. Matcha with oat: uniform milk froth. Very creamy. Can taste the matcha. Wasn’t too much or two little matcha. Nice ratio. Miso caramel latte with oat: just like the Matcha, the milk was uniformly frothed. The miso taste was very subtle so subtle. I wasn’t sure if I was tasting it, but there was a nuttiness to it that I’m not sure if it’s from the espresso beans or from the miso you
