This place is a combination of a Cup O' Joe's coffee shop (an excellent local chain in Columbus) and a MoJoe Lounge, which serves alcohol. Very nicely located up in the middle of the second level of the Easton Town Center, a massive mall in northeast Columbus. The Lounge is in the center of the large indoor portion of the mall. All of its seating overlooks the shops, a fountain, an AMC movie theatre, and plenty of other things (like Graeter's ice cream!). Great place to sit and crowd-watch while you sip a beer or enjoy a coffee.

The place itself is partially covered, so it has a dimmer, more private feel despite the fact that you are sitting up in the center of a mall. A couple TVs show the news, etc. I visited during the early evening and was able to easily find a seat. There's also a wireless internet connection in the mall itself, so you can sit, surf, and sip.

They had five beers on tap, including Rogue Dead Guy, Bell's Two Hearted, Blue Moon, Guiness, and Smithwick's, although they were out of the Bell's. In addition, they have around 25 bottles and 3 cans, starting with the standard macrobrews and filling out with Anchor, Newcastle, a few more Rogues, Murphy's, and Boddingtons. The bartender seemed to really know his stuff; he answered all my questions quickly.

The food is all good, although you must order it from the coffee shop counter. So you have cookies, protein bars, quiches, and prepared sandwiches and salads. The coffee shop itself is great. They feature a handful of roasts, plenty of speciality drinks, and smoothies.

I wish for a little wider selection on the beers, perhaps replacing some of the American macrobrews with more craft beers, but they do have a decent choice for the beer-seeker. And the location is hard to beat, with plenty of open seating and nice views all around.

This hybrid coffee shop/bar is located on the 2nd floor of Easton Towne Center. Parking can be a chore at Easton. There are several lots and a couple garages but they are always busy. It’s kind of an oasis amid a sea of shoppers, the front side showcases Cup O’ Joe coffee and pastries while the bar is on the side. There is limited seating for both.

MoJoe has around 8 taps but surprisingly they aren’t all macros. They have Rogue Dead Guy, Victory and other decent beers on draught. As for bottles, pretty much the usual regionals/micros you can find outside of dive bars such as Sierra Nevada and GLBC.

The service here is passable, pretty much what you would expect from a combination coffee shop/bar found in a huge mall.

The food is limited to appetizers (hummus, quesadillas, etc) and whatever pastries are available on the coffee shop side. Overall this is one of the only places in Easton with a decent beer selection. It’s a great place to chill before going to a show or movie.

This very unusual little spot is located in the middle of the second level of the AMC movie/shopping complex in Easton Town Center. It is open and central to the walkways and thus has bars on the several sides. One is mostly acohol and beer and another is a coffee shop area. Only a small supply of beer for both draft and bottle, and the quality is fairly average.
