The coffee and smoothies have a great flavor! But the…read moreservice was so slow, we had tried it before and it took 15 minutes to get just 2 drinks. So we thought that it was just a rough day, which anyone can have, and we would try it again. When we went back weeks later, and it was even slower! It took over 45 minutes to get 2 drinks and 2 premade muffins! It was insane, and when I asked around the 30 minute mark how much longer it would be the barista/server was really cranky. After this experience I asked my daughter who had tried this place a couple of times too, how her experiences were and unfortunately she had similar issues. So if you try this place, make sure you have a lot of time to wait. Personally I don't think I will be going back anytime soon.

Books On Broad was a great, small-town coffee and book shop! I loved the ambiance, and could've sat…read morethere for hours if I didn't have somewhere to be. My two (2) bagels were pretty good, and the girl working the counter was really sweet as well. My one (1) minor complaint was that the coffee was pretty weak, and I wish it was a little stronger. Other than that, I would definitely recommend stopping in!

I usually love Ollie's, but unfortunately, this one trip kind of missed the mark. The store was an…read moreabsolute wreck and looked like a bomb went off inside it. On one aisle, there were so many items shoved onto the shelves that you couldn't even tell what they were, and it would have been hopeless to try and sort through them to find one that you liked. In another area of the store, there were just ripped boxes placed on top of a shelf, and again, you couldn't even tell what the merchandise was, and it looked very disorganized. In the rug and carpet section, it was perhaps the most disorganized that I've ever seen a store be, and there was even a carpet sticking out into the aisle, making it impossible to pass through. I know that you don't really go to Ollie's for an organized and aesthetically pleasing shopping experience, but this one trip was a little too excessive. Luckily, this was the first time that this has happened to me at this Ollie's, so I'm hoping that it was just a one-time thing, and I'll still be back in the future.

It's a few months ago that I walked into this coffee shop while passing by downtown Columbia, so I…read morepromised myself to visit again when I had time to enjoy some tea and stay a while. The day came and what a lovely coffee shop to hang out in. They serve coffee, milkshakes, tea, and lunch. It's cozy but open so you can sit on a couch, high table, or play at a table. They have puzzles and games for people to engage in. They have soft music that will relax you. The ladies were lovely and welcoming. Guys just stop by and stay for a cup of whatever you like you won't regret it. Thank you.

Highly recommend you stop by if you are needing a coffee fix. I chatted with the lady behind the…read morecounter and she was so kind and sweet. Oh, there was also some delicious bark- maybe like four or five different kinds. I was a little shocked it was empty and I'm not sure if they get busy. This coffee shop is attached to a church and across from the hospital. If you're also looking for a quiet place to maybe study, this is it. It was clean and welcoming. Now if you're looking for a bookstore, they do have a bookcase of Christian books, but bookstore would not necessarily be an accurate description. She might be able to order books though. Bottom line-support them. Support small business.

A waste of time, every time. Absolute failure of a store…read more Let me say, I wanted to love this store, it looks like a million bucks, appears to have a big selection of products. Once you get inside, you're facing off against scalper-level pricing, confused employees, and an absolute unwillingness to perform any level of customer service. I'm tired of coming here for broken arcade games, jacked up sky-high prices, confused employees, and broken promises. This was truly the last straw, if this business has any sense of customer service, or integrity, I'd welcome them to reach out to me to make this right. Most of their selection is kept "in the back" where you can't obtain pricing without having them make a big production about the trouble they're going through. I called in asking if they had a specific product for sale, Riftbound (This is 11/5, Riftbound Released 10/31) I was informed they had product, and plenty of it at $6 per booster pack. I drove out to the store, excited, only to arrive at the store to be told that they were not allowed to sell any product until tomorrow, and I should come back. I told them I understand that the event is tomorrow, but I called in, spoke to someone, drove all the way down to the store, could we possibly come to an arrangement where I'd be allowed to buy a limited number of packs, or pay today for pickup tomorrow? The answer was no, and that if I wanted product, despite being told to come down, that they had it available, was that I would have to come back, pay for the pre-release event and then maybe they'd be able to sell me product. The last event I attended here was a catastrophe, nobody knew what was going on, it started late, the whole event was a haphazard mess. Let me go on further to state that I went to a pre-release event at their competitor, The Side Deck, and not only did that go over great, I was treated like a customer, a friend, even, I felt welcome, I was sold product (limited, but I understand that.) The pre-release was organized, friendly, and a great experience. Short of this business taking a chance to reach out to someone who used to be a very valuable customer, I can't do it anymore, I am tired of the hassles, the confusion, and being dragged out for nothing. I will be updating this review one week from today (11/12/25) to let people who see this know whether or not the store reached out to make this right - if they choose to do so, awesome, this will be updated, and I will accept that accidents happen to the best of us, and fences can be mended. The right thing to do would've been to offer to sell me a limited amount of product. (I understand if there is a release coming, product can't be sold in bulk, but selling a few boosters would've been the right answer.)

When I travel for work, I like to visit local game stores to see what they have (the FLGS in my…read moreneck of the woods has a very small selection). I was totally blown away by the amount of board games, war games, RPG's, and TCG's they had available. Not to mention a ton of accessories and expansions. Also, a wide selection of collectibles (my wife might not shop for board games, but she'd love the Jim Shore figurines). Everything was very reasonably priced as well. I wish I lived closer because the space for gaming was huge, and the staff was extremely polite and friendly as well. I'll definitely be back!

After an amazing lunch down the road, we shopped around five points before heading back to…read moreCharleston. This was the first stop we made in a slew of shops. I appreciate that they are open on Sunday's because a bunch of them were not. The store is full of fun, kitchy items and is very well merchandised. I categorize this type of store as being full of things nobody needs, but that doesn't mean you don't want something fun. It's the perfect place to find a gift for a friend that you have an inside joke with or a great accessory for a party. My only gripe is that the prices were significantly higher than I expected, but I do understand that they probably have a high rent in that space. I ended up buying a sardine jewelry dish that will now hold my sardine gold pendant when it's not on my neck. It was the perfect item to give my chain a permanent home so that made it worth the twenty bucks.

Disappointing experience and customer service at this Miniso location in Columbiana Centre Mall…read more Was in this location today with my nieces, and we decided to pop in. Since one has an upcoming bday and she saw a character she likes, I told her to pick out some items. This gray Kuromi neck pillow was in two distinctly different locations... several at the front of the store on a table marked $12.99 and even more at the back of the store in a tubular display stand also marked $12.99. In both displayed locations there were multiple of the same exact neck pillows displayed for that price of $12.99. When I go to check out the price scanned is different and higher than what was displayed in both sections of the store. The lady at the register with a very nice/nasty attitude wouldn't honor the price that they had displayed in more than one location. I didn't get her name but she was an older woman. I was already on line she had me wait while she checked out another customer to then leave the register and retrieve a totally different item that was not displayed in either location to scan and show me that it scanned for the $12.99. However, like I stated that was not the item displayed nor was it the item my niece picked out. I asked to purchase the Gray Kuromi neck pillow for the price that was clearly advertise in both location in the store and she said that it was associate error. My reply was if it was just one pillow in one location maybe but the same price in two different locations of the store with multiple of the same pillow? As a customer the price should be honored, she refused and begin to get indignant with me. So I left the item there. This was a learning lesson for my 12yr old niece and we will not be back. If you are not treated fairly they don't deserve your dollars. I will be ordering her neck pillow online from another retailer. Just A Note: I will never beg to spend my $$ with a company and first impressions hold a lot of weight.
