COLUMBUS, Ohio, U.S. – A new Crimson Cup Coffee Bar opened March 1 in the Greater Columbus Convention Center, 400 North High Street, just in time to caffeinate fans at the Arnold Sports Festival.
Greg Ubert, founder and president of Columbus coffee roaster Crimson Cup Coffee & Tea, said the new coffee bar will provide a different experience than existing Crimson Cup Coffee Houses in Clintonville and Upper Arlington.
“Our convention center coffee bar is optimized to quickly serve coffee lovers on their way to Convention Center meetings and events,” he said. “Since space is at a premium, we designed the coffee bar with economy of motion and efficiency in mind.”
Located at the north end of the center near the intersection of Goodale and High streets, the new coffee bar will serve a full menu of hot, iced and frozen espresso drinks – including mochas, lattes and cappuccinos – as well as iced coffee and tea, cold-brewed coffee, hot chocolate, fruit smoothies and other custom drinks.
Nitro will be on tap to offer Crimson Cup’s growing selection of nitrogen-infused, cold-brew coffees and other beverages.
“After we introduced Nitro cold brew to Columbus in 2014, demand has skyrocketed,” Ubert said. “This effervescent iced coffee is infused with nitrogen under pressure and served from a keg tap – giving it the texture and mouth feel of a fine milk stout.”
A brew bar will support hand-poured craft coffees using Chemex, V60 and Kalita brewing methods. “For those who have a little more time, a hand-poured coffee extracts optimum flavor from our single-origin and craft coffees,” Ubert said.
The Crimson Cup Coffee Bar will be open during Convention Center events.
