    Protein acai bowl
    John B.

    This place was not obvious driving past it due to the lack of functioning signage. Upon arriving, it is a mix of yoga studio and juice bar, an obvious synergy I'm surprised I don't see more of. There were a few people sitting in the airy seating area up front who were there for the cafe, as well as various yoga people walking by. As açaí bowls go, the one I got here was quality. Pricey, for sure, but with vegan protein and a strong unsweetened fruity base couple with a nice mix of toppings, there was plenty to be said for it on a nutritional level, and every bite was interesting. They had plenty of other smoothies and toppings so if you want to go all out on it, this is one of what I suspect is a small number of options in central South Carolina. They also had free wifi and it was a good space to sit with a laptop. Not able to comment on the yoga side of things.

    Loved everything about this place. Ordered a simple iced vanilla latte. They make their own syrups which was amazing. Couldn't decide what toast to get so I got the flight with both kinds- both amazing. Sweet & savory. The girls working were nice. It was very quiet inside with plenty of available seating on a Sunday morning! Would definitely recommend and will plan on stopping by again next time in Columbia!

    Smoothie!

    Great smoothie and great coffee! My smoothie was delicious and so was my coffee. Great vibes inside and really nice staff.

    Delicious, premium açaí bowl.

    It felt like they didn't skimp on anything and it was good. Sweet sitting area in the lobby. I will go back more prepared with a book to stay for a bit!

    Beautiful and peaceful environment great for studying. Great prices too for the quality of food & drink

    Mama's Muffins
    Tim B.

    Best smoothies out there (mama's muffins is my favorite... but you can't go wrong). And they're healthy too (no hidden sugar or syrups). They've got great coffee & espresso drinks, a great atmosphere, and a great community inside.

    This place is super fresh. Clean, bright, chill house beats kicking. Service from Hannah who's outgoing and helpful. I got a mint Açaí bowl with plant based protein. Tasted great! Plenty of lounge chairs and tables if you want to post up and get some work done too.

    Columbia's best-kept coffee and smoothie secret! Coffees are all amazing and the menu has fantastic smoothies/açaí bowls. Everything is fresh, delicious, and nutritious - plus, the staff is incredibly kind and accommodating! The Well Cafe is also an amazing study/work environment with the cutest furniture and decorations. Perfect for Instagram!

    Great little quiet study spot! Very bougie, bright, well-lit feel. Outlets are accessible and chairs are so comfy. I wish they were open longer hours, but I'll gladly come again during the day.

    Peaches, ginger, + greens smoothie & an iced oat milk latte!
    Hannah B.

    This is my favorite place in Columbia! If you're looking for a welcoming environment with healthy menu items... look no further! This place is super creative and fun. The staff is super nice and personable.

    Rosewood Latte
    Emily M.

    I absolutely love this space! It's the perfect place to have your morning coffee or grab a smoothie after class at Studio Fire! The staff is so friendly and always looking to make your day a little brighter!

    This truly is my favorite spot! The best way I can describe As Well As is a reset, a wellness oasis if you will... like the luxury of being able to get your morning matcha/coffee then be able to shop for a new workout set and skin care while waiting for your yoga class to start?? Are you kidding me? Where has this been my whole life! After a killer session with StudioFire it's so nice to just unwind, and get yourself the most delicious smoothie imaginable! (Not to mention the ingredients are so clean and healthy! I'm talking no added sugar's no BS, there is no guilt when ordering your post workout bowl) The space is so comfortable, it's so hard nowadays to find such and inclusive and positive atmosphere where you feel like you can truly talk to anybody. The consistently great vibe here, paired with all the new things they bring into rotation in both the boutique and café, this is my favorite place in Columbia!

    Rosewood latte:)

    Favorite coffee shop in Columbia! The lattes and smoothies are incredible (esp recommend the rosewood latte:) This place is SO cute and everyone is so friendly and welcoming! Highly recommended As Well As as a go to coffee shop

I went on a weekday morning when it wasn't too packed, and I really enjoyed the authentic deli ambiance, which isn't the easiest thing to find in this neck of the woods. My server (whose name I didn't catch) was such a sweetheart and did an amazing job of making sure my drinks were re-filled, my food was delivered on time, and was proactive in offering me a cup of coffee to-go. After my meal, I enjoyed wandering around the other side of the restaurant for a few minutes, which included a cigar room, an enormous wine cellar, and a host of fine cheeses that I had never heard of before! All-in-all, I really enjoyed The Gourmet Shop, will definitely be back in the future, and would recommend it to anybody in the area who's looking for an authentic deli experience!

They have wonderful sandwiches and the best tomato bisque in town (order with a side of Fresh Bread). Their chicken, shrimp and pimento cheese are all fan favorites! They have 4 dollar glasses of wine and 5 dollar craft beer. We ordered a slice of blackberry cake and it was divine! Cheesecake and a deviled food cake layered with blackberry moose. Delicious! Gourmet Shop is the best spot in 5 Points!

They were all so sweet and really went above and beyond to make sure it was a high-quality experience. I noticed that they openly advertise that they don't accept tips and have slightly higher prices in order to pay their workers a living wage, and the results were directly reflected in the customer service that I received. As for the food and drink (coffee), that was pretty good as well! While I do wish that they might have had bagels, the croissant that I substituted it for was warm, buttery, and tasty, and it was a nice change from my usual coffee shop meal, as I've only had a croissant a handful of times. The coffee was fine, and I loved how they offered free refills, which I've noticed that other local coffee shops usually don't. Finally, I loved the setting of the restaurant, which gave you the opportunity to either sit inside and enjoy the ambiance or on the outside patio and enjoy some peace and quiet. I also loved the artwork that they had on the walls, which the waitress informed me was painted by a local artist and which you could purchase if you wanted to. All-in-all, I loved smallSUGAR, will be back in the future, and would highly recommend stopping in!

Service was fine. Nothing particularly standout, but smooth and efficient. For drinks, the coffee was average. It wasn't bad by any means, just nothing memorable. Especially considering the price point. Food-wise, there were some highlights. The sweet potato bowl was well-dressed and flavorful, though it felt like it was missing a protein component to make it more complete. The shakshuka was very good overall, with great flavor, though it leaned a bit salty. The biggest issue was the bread portion. It simply wasn't enough for the dish. I ended up ordering an extra side, and while it's listed as two slices, it's really just one slice cut in half. At $4 for that portion, that is very unreasonable. That was a recurring theme. Pricing felt high across the board for what you receive. While the flavors were there, nothing really stood out as exceptional enough to justify the cost. Overall, not a bad visit. Just one where the value didn't quite match the experience.
