Rounding it out, they also offer various teas and shop goods including brewing equipment, logo’d merchandise and gift cards.
How Did The Idea Come About?
Tom Griesemer decided he wanted to start a coffee shop and started Stauf’s in 1988 after moving from Berkeley, CA to Columbus. Tom’s fellow Pete’s Coffee coworker and eventual friend Mark Swanson took over a few years later keeping Stauf’s goal to remain a welcoming sidewalk and community coffee company while never sacrificing quality. The supportive coffee community in Columbus strives to lift each other up and from Stauf’s first location in Grandview to the now four locations across the city, the support from not only from other businesses, but patrons as well has remained constant and is one of the best things about Stauf’s.
What’s Your Favorite Thing About Being a Part of The North Market?
Having four locations nestled in various historic neighborhoods in Columbus made it even more meaningful to enter the North Market. Stauf’s is proud to be a part of the Market, the history and the community of merchants that they get to work with on a daily basis. Mark loves the interactions and diversity of the people, whether it be employees, customers, or fellow merchants who he loves to collaborate with. Stauf’s has also done collaborations with local breweries including Land Grant, Combustion, Jackie O’s and even a Stauf’s Coffee Porter from Homestead.
