The 25 Dials watch store, which recently relocated up High Street to the Gateway University District, just debuted a small coffee shop, 25 Dials Cafe!

The owner of the cafe, David, was once part of Kape Coffee, which did a stint in the Wolf’s Ridge Brewing taproom before moving to Coppa Gelato in Westerville. The menu focuses on a quartet of classic espresso drinks – espresso,…
