Exploring Columbus – Fox in the Snow Cafe

It was a sunny afternoon on October 20, 2019, and Mohammed Elbana, Antonio Linek, Solomon Weiss, and I had plans to visit the Fox in the Snow Café. When I walked up to the coffee shop, I first noticed the beautiful ivy surrounding a small white fox on the front of the building. Next, I observed several nicely dressed couples entering the café, and finally, I realized I desperately longed for a nice cappuccino. The atmosphere in the café was fresh and exciting yet calm and tasteful.

The experience was everything I hoped for on a peaceful, Sunday afternoon. We were able to enjoy coffee, pastries, and good conversation. I, along with Mohammed, enjoyed a steamy cappuccino and slice of coffee cake. On a weekend afternoon, the café was relatively busy, but it was pleasant to see so many joyful faces taking advantage of the good weather. For our purposes, the timing was perfect, and I wouldn’t change anything; however, if I was planning to study, I would consider making the trip on a weekday afternoon. A lot of the clientele were young and middle-aged adults who are probably working during regular afternoons. Overall, I am looking forward to my next trip to the Fox in the Snow Café.
