Parable Coffee

After launching as a pop-up focused on community and inclusivity, Parable Coffee finally have their own space in Downtown Columbus. The cafe has a ton of houseplants, wood elements, tall ceilings, and light from large windows facing High Street, making it great for one-on-one meetings or, better yet, a quick daydreaming session before you start your day. Go for espresso drinks like a sesame miso latte and excellent baked goods from Columbus’ Three Bites Bakery. While the shop’s $7-$9 lattes might seem expensive, it’s done to pay employees a liveable wage—not to mention they have a "pay what you like" program.
