Crazy Goat Coffee

Great coffee. The staff really takes care to do what they are doing right. The wait is a little longer than other coffee shops but higher quality. Everything is perfectly blended. I usually get an iced americano.

This is a great spot to grab coffee and perfect for getting some work done. The specialty coffee drinks I’ve tried have all been excellent. The Crazy Goat drink ranks as one of the best. My absolute favorite thing about this place is the music. I feel like they stole my music collection, so I feel right at home.
The only down side I’ve found is recently I stopped in for tea and when I asked about my options, the staff directed me to the jars of tea leaves. Well, all of the names have worn off the jars so I just went with the one that I could read. It was a great mango tea, but it would have been nice to have a little more guidance.
I hope more spots open up and stay open in the Creekside area to keep them company!

This is a great small coffee shop in Gahanna. All of the coffee drinks I have tried — the Vanilla Latte and the Crazy Goat (white and milk chocolate) have been outstanding. The coffee is dark and rich, and the drinks were not too sweet (like Starbucks!). I’d buy either of them again.
The strawberry-​banana smoothie I had tasted a little bit off. It almost seemed like there was too much banana — or fake banana flavor — mixed in.
You can’t beat the atmosphere of this place though. While it is small, plenty of seating for just one or two means you usually won’t have trouble finding a seat, at least if you don’t come at the busiest hours. The Wi-​Fi works great, and there seems to be plenty of outlets.
My first time here, I had a whole paper to write for a class, and I was at the shop for about 7 hours. I bought multiple drinks, and the staff didn’t seem to mind that I was there so long.
Check it out!

I love the idea behind Crazy Goat, and the fact that they serve Intelligentsia coffee. It’s a beautiful café, and at times very quaint. I went in on a Sunday morning to try and get some homework done, the first hour was nice with your normal chatter, but once the afternoon rolled around it was a different story. All the people coming in the afternoon brought their obnoxiously loud children, and Crazy Goat is too small to be able to handle that much noise.
Their prices are fair, but if you want to get Intelligentsia at a better price, and more than a 12 oz bag, buy it at Earth Fare!
Crazy Goat is good for getting you in and out, but not someplace I would linger for any long period of time.

Upscale décor. A great place for a business meeting, or some focused study time. Coffee is good too!

I tried this little coffee shop out on a whim. I was waiting to pick up a friend from the airport so I had an hour to kill or so. Anyway, I was just looking for a simple cup of coffee but, after asking the barista what makes their place so special (a great way to find out some good secrets about the place by the way), I decided to order a Cubano con leche. This was on the recommendation of the barista, it was essentially a latte sub ½ & ½, add sugar, and … BUTTER! It was Tastey. Kinda stuck to the tongue. Can’t find it on the web so i can’t confirm whether or not it is an authentic drink.
Besides the strange drink I did have a regular cup of coffee which was mighty tasty. She told me about how the beans were special and that they only did medium roasts because of something about burning the coffee and losing caffeine. I didn’t follow all of that too well obviously. But the place is definitely worth a try.

My next favorite place to read books or just hang out. Great interior, excellent latte, serve Intelligentsia coffee too so you don’t have to go to chicago to get it. I ordered the crazy goat latte which was perfect, a blend of white and dark chocolate and espresso. I was surprised how delicious the combination was. Go there, now!

A great cup of coffee!
Über-​helpful staff. Answered a ton of coffee questions from me without making me feel like an idiot.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great espresso and great crema art. These guys are headed places.

Without sounding too cheesy, the baristas care! On my last visit, the barista made a wonderful leaf pattern with the milk in my latte. There are not too many that take the time to do this. (This is only the second one I encountered… and I’ve been to a lot of coffee shops!)
If you haven’t found yourself wandering around Creekside in Gahanna, make it a point to go. It’s a great area and Crazy Goat Coffee won’t disappoint you.

this place almost makes the ‘burbs look cool!
The décor is funky yet tidy, with straight lines and fun colors. There’s even a fireplace! The chairs are made of what looks like old seatbelts, although I’m sure they’re actually custom made and several hundred bucks a pop. They make me want to try to make them myself, after imbibing enough caffeine I’d probably think I could pull it off, too.
Crazy Goat is the only place in Columbus that serves Intelligentsia coffee, so when I was in the neighborhood on other business I decided to come get some of my favorite espresso ever. Intelligentsia espresso (Black Cat) is the best espresso money can buy. delicious and unburnt, with almost a molasses sweetness. Blows all other espresso out of the water. and it’s local to the midwest — produced on Chicago.
But anyway, I digress. The barista at Crazy Goat made me a delicious latte using beans that I already knew were amazing. If she had messed it up, I probably would have cried. It was definitely one of the best lattes I’ve had in central Ohio.
They had a few small bites available. I had a chocolate chip cookie, which was actually filled in the center with rich, gooey ganache. It was the perfect side for an afternoon snack with my coffee.
now, if only they weren’t all the way outside the loop… I would be shaking from caffeine every hour of the day.

It’s gonna be hard to write this because I’m shaking like a leaf. It’s so worth it too. More so than Stauf’s or Luck Bros., this may be the the Columbus coffee nerd headquarters. I’ve been chomping at the bit to get over here ever since the woman told me they are supplied principally with the famously superb Intelligentsia beans. The first rule for any high-​end food service is get the finest ingredients and then don’t fuck ‘em up. Thankfully, our barista (who we think was the owner, in whole or in part) was knowledgable and enthusiastic.
I tried a standard house drip coffee. Very good.
The macchiato was even better. Flavorful and more complex than I’m used to, the espresso had a sweetness to it that I can’t remember having experienced before.
The real treat however was the Japanese style pour over made with Intelligentsia’s Guatemala beans. For the unfamiliar, pour over is essentially just drip coffee made with nearly fanatical care and precision. I’ll spare the details here. Google it if you want to know more. Rest assured however the time and effort (or extra $) are worth it. Crazy Goat prepared one of the finest cups of traditional coffee I can remember having. It was bright, clean, fruity and entirely devoid of bitterness. Oh, and it’s highly caffeinated.
There’s a reason I’m finishing this review at 3am…

There are many redeeming qualities about the Crazy Goat Coffee Shop. It is located in a super cute area in Gahanna and the parking is easy and convenient. The staff are super friendly and helpful and on this particular visit even offered me a complimentary homemade buckeye (which was messy but delicious). The coffee is good and fresh and although I have not tried any of the food or baked goods, they look nice.
I think that my favorite thing about the Crazy Goat is that it provides a nice environment to sit for a while. I don’t feel rushed and the music and wi-​fi are nice additions to the ambiance.
While it seems like a lovely place to stop for lunch, the menu seems very limited, one choice of sandwich and one choice of salad daily. The table that I happened to choose was a bit dirty but overall the place seems clean enough. I will definitely stop back if I’m in the neighborhood again.

I would love to give them 5 stars, but I just can’t. The coffee is fantastic and they carry Mash juices which are my absolute favorite. However, the service in the mornings is sooooooooo slow. I never stop there if I’m on a time crunch. So, if you have time to spare in the AM, they’re the cat’s meow. Just remember to be patient :)

I most often go to coffee shops as an excuse to get out of the house and kill a few hours. Crazy Goat is on of my favourite list because the staff is welcoming, the snacks change regularly, and the chairs are cozy. I especially like that the armchairs have a little circle table on the arm for food, drink or a laptop. The location is very convenient to 270 and 670, parking is free, and creekside Gahanna is a lovely place to go for a walk.
Recently (?) Crazy Goat had been running an evening happy hour with great deals!

I stumbled on this place [via Unilocal] while waiting on my girlfriend to arrive at the airport. I’m really glad I did, because I really enjoyed my experience at Crazy Goat. Coffee was good, prices were normal for most coffee shops, and the atmosphere, décor, and furniture were absolutely perfect. I plopped down in a big comfy chair next to the fireplace, and read until my girlfriend’s flight arrived.
I was on vacation from Hawaii visiting family in Cincinnati, and picking up someone from Columbus, so I probably will never be back to Crazy Goat, but that one experience was good enough for me to write a positive review! However, if I’m ever back in that area, I’ll be sure to stop by.

I am so glad I had to pee and was super tired after getting my hair-​cut the other day because, otherwise, I would have never even stepped foot into this tiny little coffee shop and tried their white mocha coffee. I had planned on only using the restroom but, when I walked in I couldn’t help myself from ordering something. The coffee was, to say the least, the best cup of coffee of my life and the person I was with said the same about their order. It was smooth, robust, flavorful, and yet lacked the off-​turning bitterness that I hate about many coffees. Their sizes come in small, medium, and large and that is exactly what they call it. For me, that is something I always appreciate from a coffee shop because whenever I order at Starbucks I feel silly and pretentious trying to say the fancy names and sizes for the coffees with ease. The coffee was the perfect warm temperature that you could begin drinking the moment you got that delicious coffee in your hands without worrying about burning the inside of your mouth.
Other good things about this place that I’ve found out by reading their website is how environmentally friendly this place tries to be. They apparently provide on-​site recycling and offer a discount if you bring in a reusable coffee or tea mug. The prices are already pretty fair so a discount would only add to that. There’s also free WiFi.
I saw some pastries and sandwiches when I went in but I didn’t try any so I can’t really comment about those other than that they looked good. But, I can say that I will for sure be coming back to Crazy Goat for some more of their delicious coffee.

I stopped in to Crazy Goat coffee because I was freezing my effing tuccas off walking back to my car in the garage at Creekside. I figured it’d be cool to check it out since I’ve seen it on Unilocal and see what they have to offer.
Well, here’s what they have to offer!
1) Good set up for a coffee place. With ample tables and some cozier spots.
2) Fireplace
3)Clean
4)Quiet
5) Really superb service.
6) Decent prices
7) No pretentious attitude about coffee
8) they don’t automatically put whip cream on everything :)
Here’s where they lacked.
1) Staff says everything is good. That doesn’t help me decide
2) they use Oregon Chai for their tea lattes, which I personally don’t like.
3) not very good hot chocolate, but it did the trick!
I wish I would have tried the coffee so I could remark on it, but this is a really nice shop with great people and a good stop to work on the lap top or meet a friend!

As someone who works from home, I was thrilled to see a new coffee place open at Creekside! Gahanna has surprisingly few coffee places, so this one was a welcomed addition.
First, the location is amazing. All establishments in this area have what I call the «Creekside Bonus.» If you’ve been there, you know what I mean: great outdoor spaces, a beautiful wooded area, and amazing proximity to great stores. Crazy Goat is definitely rocking the Creekside Bonus, and fully brings that ambiance inside.
The environment is very welcoming and modern. There’s a largish table in the back that looked good for some quiet study or work time, but I’m more for a comfy chair, so my coworker and I grabbed two chairs out front, hooked up to their free wifi, and worked away the rest of the afternoon.
There was a constant flow of customers, but for the most part it was a perfect place to sit and work. The baristas were friendly and attentive, but not overbaring or intrusive. The music playing was an interesting combination of old and new indie pop, but felt good for the location. The only minor complaint is that somewhere in the connecting building an alarm would occasionally go off, but this wasn’t Crazy Goat’s fault.
As for the drinks, the prices are a bit low for the area, but the quality was still high. A few points came off because they didn’t have many decaf options – only hot coffee could be decaf – so I tried a lower-​caffeine tea instead. The iced white jasmin tea with a few drops of honey was delicious!
There is also a fairly wide variety of pastries – the brownies looked especially good.
I believe I see a bright future for Crazy Goat and me…

Okay. Let me first start off by saying I am not a coffee drinker. But I love checking out new spots period. Okay I go in there the place is nice and quiet. Friendly developing staff. Cause they just opened like two days ago. I look around. Check out how clean it is. Checked out the prices of the items. Cool. By far seemed more economical then Starbuck’s.
I will however drink the frozen coffee beverages and the such. So I ordered the White Mocha frozen drink. Let’s just say if you could sample a frozen beverage beyond the pearly gates. The white mocha frozen drink would be second behind Urban Spirit’s «The Duke» Frozen Drink. It was extremely delicious. And they made it very fast.
I also ordered a SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE or Was it Cream Cheese? Either way. it was scrumptious. THANK GOD that there is a place other than The Bread Basket that I can grab a baked good from. Cause Bread Basket starts to become played after a while.
This place is also probably great for vegans being that they have vegan products in there.
