By Emily O'Connor February 1, 2025Live Music

J & J Recall is a very talented musical duet (guitarists and vocals) consisting of JOEY WOLPERT and JIM BENNATI. They play music that you know, much of it classic rock, but in their own unique style: Fleetwood Mac, James Taylor, Van Morrison, The Eagles, Tom Petty... JIM BENNATI is a singer / guitarist with classic rock group, Hi Fidelity, and of course is the "Wizard of the Wax" at A Gal Named Cinda Lou in Uptown. JOEY WOLPERT is a marvelous blues, rock (and more) guitarist / singer who is also an accomplished recording engineer, business / sales manager in the music industry in California and Ohio, and current Project Manager for Demand Impact. You may have seen them perform at Uptown Friday Nights, at Barrel and Boar or Good Vibes. Now enjoy them back at JC.

Best Blueberry Coffee Cake I've ever had. The Coffee is Great.

...

This coffee shop is one of my favorite places to be in Westerville. It has such a warm, welcoming, and cozy vibe and there’s ample seating both inside and outside to do work, read, and hang out. It’s beautifully decorated as well. It serves as more than just a place to get coffee- they advertise community events, have a pantry available, and many resources to seek help and assistance if needed. This place is truly a gem.
