Mission Coffee Co- Columbus Coffee Trail Stop 3

Hi friends!

It's been a while. Spring break was a welcome but inconvenient break from school, my coffee routine and blogging. Why inconvenient? because the weekend before spring break, Klaudia, our friend Bailey and I made the third stop on the Columbus Coffee trail- Mission Coffee! Without further delay, here's what we thought.

First, points for a chalkboard sign. Wanna-be hipster-coffee lovers just can't get enough of these things, and I don't blame them. Adorable. Their store front also featured a garage door turned giant paneled window which was great for letting in some natural light. But inside, it was dark. It was a cloudy day, which didn't help, but I swear I only counted like 4 light bulbs in the entire place. The lack of light made it hard to study and brought a somber tone to the atmosphere. Plus, seating was scarce and the shop felt cramped. 2.5/5 Missions for the Mission Coffee Co. atmosphere.

Focus on the good stuff :) Sign gets 5/5 Missions

But, we gotta stay positive- the coffee was good! I ordered a Chai Tea Latte (I know it doesn't count as coffee, but humor me), Klaudia ordered (you guessed it) a mocha, and Bailey ordered a cappuccino. I tasted them all, and they were great! However, they weren't cheap. Now I know a lot of small, local coffee shops can be at least a little pricey, depending where their beans are from. But this was next level. My coffee was around $4, and it wasn't the most expensive thing on the menu. Coffee from Mission Coffee receives 3.5/5 Missions.

Finally, food. My memory is a little fuzzy on this part (I apologize), and my pictures are less that sufficient. Klaudia and Bailey both ordered Almond Croissants, which they both enjoyed. I wanted a bagel, but they were out, so I ended up with a muffin of some sort. It was good as well! Food receives 4/5 Missions.

This picture speaks for itself! Delicious!

Mission Coffee wasn't exactly a standout in the Coffee Trail so far. Although the food and coffee were good, they were expensive, and the atmosphere took away from the experience. Overall, Mission Coffee gets 3/5 Missions. If you're around Short North and looking for Coffee, we recommend taking a trip just a few blocks over and visiting Fox in the Snow.

Thanks for reading! Peace 'n' blessin's friends.
