Nice area to get work done. The WiFi seemed questionable at times but I'd need to go back a few times for a better assessment. Staff all nice. Parking was free with 3hr limit posted on the signs. It was sunny when I went and enjoyed a calm walk exploring the area when I was done. I plan to come back periodically.

I stumbled upon this place about a month ago now after searching on Google “espresso martinis near me”. I was pleasantly surprised with the ambiance when I arrived.I typically go in the day time between the hours of noon and 3. During this time, you’ll find many students studying or reading a book. There are bakery items, coffee, and morning cocktails served until 4pm, then the bar opens at 4 with Happy Hour from then until 7pm (50% off cocktails = $5-$7 really good cocktails).This place is a must-explore if you love coffee shops, good music, a great cocktail, or just a nice study space.

Very cool working space. I've only been for happy hour and the drinks are pretty good. I'm excited to go back.

always a fairly quiet place with great coffee and quick service! they have a small snack menu, any coffee drinker can appreciate this. The place itself is huge so seating has never been a big issue. I've never been at night but it turns into a bar, not a huge drinker but the concept is cool!

Coffees and foods are tasty, and it’s even better as a study spot in cbus. 20/10

Good pricing, solid drinks, good environment to get some work done. There's not many outlets so be aware if you're going to be working on a laptop for a while.Parking: By the door, but in the same area as the apt. parking.

Great spot for coffee and getting some work done. And I love that they also have great cocktails so you can enjoy this place both day and night! Friendly staff, reasonable prices, and lots of natural light. It's been my go to coffee shop as of late.

I love the concept of Bada Bean Bada Booze. Coffee shop by day, bar in the evening. 'Start your day, end your night' is the slogan and I'm surprised more places don't emulate this idea. But, I'm sure it helps to be located adjacent to an apartment complex and surrounding residential area as this location in Jefferson Park. For starters, parking is a breeze. There is a lot out back with validation for two hours, or additional free street parking. The inside is spacious with a variety of tables and seating options. They also have a sectional couch in one corner, because why not? I got a drip coffee, which cost around $3 for about an 8 ounce cup. They offer $1 refills if you plan to stay awhile. They have a handful of bakery items in the morning, including a homemade pop-tart which I'm not sure is made in house or not, but either way looked pretty good. Overall, Bada Bean Bada Booze is a phenomenal place to visit if you're looking for a brew -- coffee or beer.

A place I visit regularly when I have work to do in Cbus, it's a nice atmosphere and excellent coffee. I haven't been there in the evening, but I'm sure that's good too.

Good vibes and a great study/ work space! Got a pumpkin spice latte, normally I don’t care for them but this one was delicious here. Highly

Bada is no doubt my favorite recent addition to Italian Village, if not all of Columbus! The bar is our favorite spot to grab drinks, both weekdays and weekends. It’s a perfect casual, low-key energy, but there’s always something going on, and the cocktails are equivalent to what you’d find at your go-to high-end cocktail bar or restaurant. The bartenders here are the best, especially our favorites, Eli & Nate. We continue to come here in large part because of those two — they always have the best energy, make the BEST drinks, and feel like friends. Bada is definitely better because of those two, and we can’t recommend this spot more.

Walked in two employees behind counter. Neither acknowledged my existence. One was 2 ft from me and purposely looked away. I left.

This is the worst coffee in all of Columbus, if not the continental United States.
