When coffee shops and libraries combine, what’s not to love? These 3 Columbus Metropolitan Libraries have coffee shops inside them! So no need to pick up a coffee on the way to the library, these locations offer you the chance to get your caffeine fix right inside!
Main Library, Columbus Metropolitan Library
- Address: 96 S Grant Ave, Columbus, OH 43215
The Main Library is located in downtown Columbus and it’s a beautiful library to visit if you haven’t been yet! There are 3 floors of books to peruse, a delightful children’s area and Carnegie’s Cafe on the main floor!
You can get all kinds of coffee drinks here as well as baked goods and some grab-and-go lunch items, too! There is a large seating area right next to the cafe and if it’s nice outside, there is a great outdoor patio, too!

Hilliard Branch of Columbus Metropolitan Library
- Address: 4500 Hickory Chase Way, Hilliard, OH 43026
The Hilliard Branch is one of my go-to branches! I’m there a lot to look for books and to pick up a coffee! Kerr’s Cafe is located right inside and there is a good-sized seating area, too! So if you’d like to meet a friend for coffee or take your kids to get a snack when visiting the library, this is a great option!
The cafe is operated by Java’s and serves hot and cold coffee drinks, tea and baked goods.

Dublin Branch of Columbus Metropolitan Library
- Address: 75 N High St, Dublin, OH 43017
I’ve visited the Dublin Branch of CML many times without seeing the coffee shop, so this one is a little bit trickier to find! The Sweetwaters Coffee Shop is located on the lower level so you’ll need to find the steps or take the elevator to find it!
This location offers seasonal drinks and a few snacks, too! There is a small seating area here but it’s not as big as the ones at Hilliard or Main Library.
