We stopped in on a Tuesday, and were so glad we did! What a great calm atmosphere for breakfast or brunch! We got a cord and flat white, both delicious and brewed to perfection. Hubby got the biscuit with the sweet jam, very yummy. I got the smoothed salmon, I liked the dill sauce, but it slightly overpowered the other flavors. But, still delicious and a good portion. I'd love to come back and try a breakfast boozy drink in the weekend. I can't wait to come back again! read more

Went here for lunch during a day trip to Columbia. It's a cute place located in Columbia's factory, with ample seating. The cafe can get quite crowded during the lunch rush. Service is extremely slow, so don't come here if you're in a hurry. It took 20 mins just to get drinks. It's pretty overpriced for the portions you get too. However, the food is really good! I got the matcha orange French toast and a fig salad. The French toast is delicious! I also highly recommend the shaken espresso. Overall, August Sage is worth a stop if you're not in a hurry and willing to pay a premium. read more

So glad I checked this place out when visiting the factory. Stopped in for brunch on a beautiful sunny day so decided to sit outside on their spacious shaded patio that was dog friendly which we loved, but would have been perfectly good to sit inside too as it so beautifully designed and a chill welcoming atmosphere. Menu had lots of options and a Tex mex vibe to it. I will definitely be back to try more! read more

It was so nice, we needed to stop by again as we were driving back to the airport. We arrived before 10am this Sunday, not crowded yet! We each had different brunch items. Stunning. Fresh. Service by Tonya and crew. They help one another. Thanks for connecting with us. Highly recommend! read more

Really great and unique selections from end to end. The chicken tacos were my absolute favorite. The green pepper salsa was so different and delicious. The prosciutto sandwich was okay, not bad, but I probably wouldn't get it again. Service was very friendly and attentive. read more

August Sage Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Columbia, Tennessee

A great spot off the Columbia Square, located at the Columbia Factory. The menu is what excited me on my search, and it met the expectations once I got here. The Prosciutto and Provolone sandwich (added bacon) has a smoky flavor with a sweet flavor from the blackberry jam, and a crunch from the apple slices and perfectly toasted bread. The blue haze chai is definitely a drink I will be coming back for, with their homemade chai flavor. The service is friendly and efficient. You can order drinks at the counter or sit for drinks and a meal. This spot offers outdoor seating, and indoor seating at a table, couch or the bar. Very cool and beautifully designed space. read more

On a rainy spring day, a friend and I dripped our way into August Sage by complete happenstance. The urgency of hunger was threatening to wreck the vibe of our day trip spent thrifting in Columbia, so one glimpse of August Sage Cafe's bread-centric menu had us hunting for seats with haste. I could've spent a concerning amount of time hemming and hawing over what to order, but my growling stomach and growing faintness necessitated decisiveness. With what strength I had left, I uttered four simple letters, "B.L.A.T." Those four simple letters lead to one of the most memorable sandwich occasions I've had the joy of experiencing. Perfectly balanced in both flavor and texture, August Sage BLT should give seminars on "How to B(e)L.T." Some people mess with the classics in a way that makes me feel like a certifiable Boomer. Like why are we deconstructing that, what is boba, black truffle say what? Thankfully, this BLT managed to honor the tried & true while also elevating it. Beside me, while giving her Croque Monsieur the fork and knife treatment, my friend stated, without an ounce of hyperbole, "This is the best bread I've ever had. All bread should be like this. This is the only kind of bread I want." What you must know about my dear friend is that she has spent years working in bakeries, with a particular flair for sourdough loaves. Oh, to be back at August Sage sinking my teeth into that bread right this moment... For now, I will have to settle for feasting on the memory, and insisting that you go and try it for yourself. read more

August Sage Cafe - BLAT - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Columbia, Tennessee

I love this place! The menu is creative and offers something for everyone--I've enjoyed everything from a vegan grain bowl to sausage and eggs--it was all delicious and well prepared. The coffee menu is equally satisfying and the beer list features a nice mix of styles. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. It's got a cozy, relaxed European cafe vibe. We're lucky to have such a great spot! read more

Very cozy and welcoming atmosphere! Food and drink was good. I'd come back when it wasn't a rush hour (Sunday lunch). Overall, it is a good place to hangout, have a drink, and enjoy the day. read more

Located in the "Factory at Columbia," August Sage has a lovely ambiance with huge windows that let in plenty of natural light. We tried a few things from the menu, starting with the Herb Butter Candle. When the candle's wick would go out due to the air conditioning, the server would promptly come over to relight it. The Croffle was a bit smaller than expected and served slightly cold, but it was still understandable since there's whipped sweet mascarpone on top. However, I did notice the raspberries had some odd, greenish-blue spots on them, so I skipped eating them (see photo). The smoked salmon and toast came with a generous portion of salmon, which I really appreciated. During our visit, we also ordered a Dirty Earl with Lavender, but it never arrived. After assuming it was forgotten, we were surprised to see it added to the bill. When we mentioned it, they took it off without an apology, which left a bit of a sour note on the experience. read more

We had lunch with friends at August Sage when we were in town meeting their baby. It was a great experience! It has a very cozy, welcoming vibe and is beautifully decorated. They have seating indoor and outdoor, and they were flexible to accommodate the best table to have a stroller next to it. The staff were incredibly nice, and the food was delicious! My friend and I shared the pimento cheese BLT (so good) and the croffle (10/10 amazing). We also shared the whipped feta with the table and it was addicting. I can't wait to come back on another visit! read more

Yeah! Finally, a delicious brunch place with some creativity! Love that they have 5-6 different types of mimosas (had the blackberry, yum) and I really enjoyed the pistachio mocha latte. For the coffee drinks, they have whole milk, oat milk, and pistachio milk. Really wish that they had fat free cows milk or soy milk options. The food selections were fun and different--had the hashbrown waffle, and sampled the orange matcha French toast--the topping was a little on the sweet side but very creamy (due to the cream cheese base) and the flavor was unusual but delicious--you don't see matcha flavor very often. We also got the carrot/beet salad, and the fig salad, and you can't go wrong with either one. They do seem to change/update their menu, not sure how often. Also appreciate that they are open on Sundays. We'll DEFINITELY be back!!! read more

Interesting menu. Service and food were good but portion size was disappointing for the price. We were still hungry.

The whipped feta is a must. It will have you thinking about it days after you have it. Great service and relaxing setting.

I just recently went here for the first time and I will definitely be back! I got the pistachio mocha coffee bc it sounded interesting to me, even though I was nervous to get it lol.. it was amazing! The girls working there were so nice and thoroughly answered my questions. And I have to mention how beautiful this place is inside ! Absolutely loved the designs and every little detail of the art on the walls! read more

Came in on a Friday morning with a friend and our daughters. Ordered a couple cappuccinos and breakfast tacos, my daughter had the roasted pear yogurt , can't recall what my friend and her daughter had but everyone thought their meals tasted great! Our waitress was pleasant enough ,and the decor was modern and comfortable. and the space had lots of sunlight. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience. Will definitely be back! read more

Love, love, love August Sage! Their food is absolutely delicious, and the lattes are just as good--my favorite is the lavender latte. The Patatas Waffles are amazing, and the chicken salad sandwich is a must-try. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. It can get a bit loud on weekends, but weekdays are much more peaceful. Definitely worth a visit! read more

absolute great place to eat food is amazing. All service is great. Enjoyed my meal and got to relax for the first time this week.

All of our food was delicious. Ambiance was cozy and service was good. One of the best BL(A)T's I've ever had. Cortado was perfect.

Was visiting Columbia and decided to try August Sage for a late breakfast. Everything about our breakfast was fantastic! Loved the style/ambiance and the food and service were both excellent. The Breakfast burrito and salsa were absolutely delicious. The biscuits and strawberry jam were out of this world good. We'll be back for sure! read more

Drove down from Nashville to stroll some of the shops downtown and stopped by here to have lunch first. Glad I did! Got a honey cinnamon latte that was the perfect balance - not too syrupy but not too bland. The Brekky Tacos were also delish. Perfect portion and great flavor. I also really appreciate a place that provides a comfortable environment for single diners. It's great being able to walk in and plop myself at the bar but still get the same service as a bigger party. read more

My wife and I had a great lunch here recently. The place was busy but the wait was not long. The servers checked on us often and the food was really good. We will go back soon. read more

I consider myself a foodie and an appreciator of cocktails, and I was very excited to come and find out what this restaurant was about! And I must say it did not disappoint! The ambience is charming and comfortable. But most importantly, the food was very well done. I had a croquet monsieur sandwich that thrilled my taste buds, had the fig and pearl salad with an in-house made dressing very good! And in the middle of day, got to enjoy some fabulous holiday cocktails. We ended up chatting it up with Anna the manager, who is absolutely charming and the best part about small businesses is that they care so much about their patrons and what they think. I was able to express my opinions that she took in and appreciate it very much. I highly recommend this place! If you want great restaurants, support them! read more
