A bit of New York City coffee has landed in Columbus! Manjul Coffee has opened a massive corner space at Fifth Avenue and Fourth Street in Weinland Park, featuring expert coffee service, pastries, and sandwiches.
And I mean it when I say a bit of NYC has come to Columbus: Manjul Coffee originated in SoHo as a coffee shop, roastery, and clothing store. It’s hard to miss the big sign on the northeast corner of the intersection.
The space features a minimalist design: white walls, light wood tables and chairs, floor-to-ceiling windows, a tree in the center.
All the warm sunlight keeps it from feeling too stark, though. I love the low chairs and tables; comfortable, while keeping the space open.
We watched a rotating selection of maybe a half dozen pastries roll through the displays, from maritozzo with lemon curd…
…to tomato and cheese danishes…
…to croissants and more.
We ordered a small spread and easily found a table.
Manjul really seems to bring its A-game when it comes to coffee. The long counter lets you watch them craft pour overs, pull espresso, and assemble drinks.
The cold brew was one of my favorites. Very clean, no trace of bitterness.
The rich mocha features dark chocolate. Love the ceramic mugs!
I tasted a shot of single origin espresso from Peru. Very balanced, nicely pulled.
Their chicken sandwich, the biggest item we saw on the menu, layers roasted chicken, tomatoes, and arugula on ciabatta. Thumbs up to this!
The tomato and cheese danish feels like a little taste of summer.
We also ordered a chocolate croissant, but the teens ate that before I could get a photo!
Manjul sells coffee equipment, too, from tableware to grinders to pour over funnels.
From what I saw, it looks like they roast on site, too. Several coffees line the walls, many of which are at higher price points than we often see in Columbus.
Manjul Coffee is open Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
There’s street parking along Fourth and an easily accessible parking garage just behind them, accessed off Fourth.
