HEMINGWAY'S COFFEE NOOK

Downtown Columbus, OH

The self-styled “1920’s Parisian style cafe” is a deliberate throwback. First, it’s a throwback to the early 20th century neighborhood cafe where literary types would hang out to sip coffee and discuss the politics and literature and philosophy and the like. There’s also a throwback to the type of “second wave” coffee shops that first flourished in the 1990’s. These are different from “third wave” coffee shops that focus on coffee as an artisan food stuff like wine, cheese, chocolate, any ingredient.
