I'm a regular to the Columbia area thanks to family and friends and to no surprise of theirs... I found a local coffee shop. I'm not a native, but Alexandra's was easy enough to find. I was elated with my choice upon walking in and immediately being greeted by the baristas. I didn't catch their names but all three were wonderful and super pleasant.
I had some time to burn, so I opted to try an Iced Mocha Latte with Almond Milk. Since I'm a fan of little things, I was grateful for the eco-friendly cup that it came in without the straw...neat little option for an iced beverage. To compliment the latte, I decided to give one of the blueberry scones a try and did a silent dance when on of the baristas asked if I would like to have it served with butter.... uh, yes please! The latte was REALLY GOOD, so I will definitely be back to have that again. It wasn't too busy, as it was around noon on a Saturday, so I was able to grab a table without any issue.
Looking around, it's easy to make out that this cafe welcomes the hearts of all artist near and far, as there is art on the wall along with a small selection of art supplies available for purchase towards the back. According to the recent email received, they have paint events, this particular event encouraging participants to wear their favorite sports jerseys (don't worry, I did see the wall of aprons available). Go check them out and enjoy a latte for me! SYOY! read more
