Columbus coffee shop named 2nd best in the country by ‘USA Today’ voters

Tucked inside Natalie’s Grandview is a gem of a coffee spot serving “serious coffee for unserious people.” If you haven’t had the Royal Flamingo, now is your chance to try the second best coffee shop in the country – recently voted by USA Today.

In USA Today’s 10Best, the Royal Flamingo Coffee House was voted number two for Where to find the top 10 best independent coffee shops in the US. The nominees were put together by an expert panel to be voted on by readers, based on “their cozy atmospheres, friendly baristas, and unique menus.”

“Columbus, Ohio’s Royal Flamingo Coffee House pairs whimsical branding with serious attention to coffee detail. Their menu features thoughtfully roasted beans used for creative brews and espresso concoctions, with menu categories such as “Daily Greats” and “Super Fun.” Featuring high-quality seasonal signature drinks, Royal Flamingo stands out by making specialty coffee delightful and full of personality.”

And we totally agree. Not only does Royal Flamingo roast their own beans from Colombia as a micro roaster, but they mix and brew innovative and thoughtful drinks all year long, like their Ube Creamsicle Latte or Green Apple Coldbrew for fall. 

Florin Coffee, another beloved Columbus coffee spot, also made the 10Best list at the number six spot.

Next time you’re looking to get caffeinated, swing by the Royal Flamingo at 945 King Ave, or hit up Florin at 874 Oakland Park Ave.
