⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Empire Roasters & Records — Columbia City’s Creative Coffee Oasis ☕🎶 Right around the corner from Brain and Body Recess, this has become my favorite spot for a business meeting, coffee date, or just an experimental coffee moment that turns into inspiration.

Empires roasters & Records has great expresso drink creations and plenty of different blends of tea. Their house made waffles, bagels and baked goods are all delicious. There's also an awesome record store upstairs and super cozy seating, balcony and great views if you keep going up the stairs.
