Stopped in with my USC student for a latte. Nice little coffee shop off the beaten path. Eclectic furniture offers places to study or read while having a snack or drinking a latte. Staff was friendly & helpful. We both had mocha lattes & it was delightful. Milk options for coffee options are whole milk (standard), almond or oat milk are an up charge. read more

The almond croissant is absolutely amazing, I got it toasted and it was perfectly buttery and flakey. I had a dirty chai with an extra shot, it had a deep espresso taste but wasn't too overpowering. The barista was nice and had my order completed quickly. There's also more seating downstairs. Only addition I would like is more available outlets or an extension cord beneath the tables. read more

Immaculate Consumption - Almond croissant and iced dirty chai latte - Sandwiches Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I had a lunch meeting here, and I have been here in the past but never to eat. It is such a small quaint place perfect for a quick meeting, to grab a coffee, breakfast, or lunch with colleagues, friends, or by yourself. They have espresso beverages, milkshakes, lavender and regular lemonade, and teas. They serve breakfast sandwiches and lunch with small sides such as salads and soups that may vary by the day. They also have kettle chips and pita bread. I ordered the smoked turkey croissant with and addition of roast beef and kettle chips for the side. I ordered the regular house made lemonade as a drink to accompany my lunch. My sandwich exceeded my expectations! It was pretty good and the roast beef was like a real slice of roast beef which I thought was interesting. The sandwich was toasted a bit which made it pretty delicious as well. The kettle chips were original. The lemonade was good as well. I was nervous about the lavender so I opted out. Next time, I am going to try a latte or a smoothie, and I would love to try their breakfast sandwich. Of course given the area parking could be troublesome, but they do have small a back lot. Customer service is okay, nothing terrible, but nothing to rave over. It's pretty clean as well. Overall, I enjoyed my experience!. read more

Speed, efficient, delicious! Good atmosphere and great for the area overall. Great lunch spot if want something in 30 min or less.

I haven't been here in 15 years. I went today and was wondering why i haven't been back. It is a cozy little spot with positive energy and great service. I had the turkey horsey on sourdough and gazpacho. It was incredibly good and healthy. I will be going at least once a week. read more

My sandwich and salad took 25 minutes to come out and the place wasn't that busy. The salad tasted off as well, couldn't tell if it was the dressing or the salad. Not sure if I'll return. read more

Rob and staff are first class. Been dining here since I was a student at USC and Page at the SC state house. We even visit/stop for lunch every time I'm back in Town for work or play. I highly recommend!! immaculate is the BEST restaurant in Columbia IMO! Never had a bad meal or experience! Keep up the great work Rob! read more

I think I've tried every coffee shop in Columbia, and I've been sleeping on IC! A pleasant surprise to not only find great coffee, but great food as well. read more

This place was highly rec'd to me in Sept, so I went. It was gooood. Good, but not great. The parking situation, since it is both downtown and by campus, is freaking annoying. The food was gooood but not great and definitely too expensive. But the coffee? Freaking majestic. I got just a basic black coffee, and I was pleased. Interior is nice and relaxing - good coffee shop vibe. Very busy, but we lucked out on claiming a table that people were just exiting. read more

Nothing quite like biting into a hair first thing on a Friday morning. After finding the first hair I took a look at the sandwich and found another definitely a pass from me. I've been coming here on and off for the past few years, and love it here. However, hair in food is something that hard for me to look past. read more

Great spot, good coffee albeit on the pricier side. Very cozy and excellent to get work done in. The basement is a nice addition as well

Sadly we don't have many true coffee shops in Insanely Hot Columbia, but this is one of the few. Located near the State House, this place serves great coffee and has friendly baristas. Most college-area coffee shops play bad music, have crappy 'art work' on the wall and douchey baristas that couldn't get hired on at Starbucks, but this is not that place! read more

An institution in Cola. This place has served great food for as long as I can remember. Right in the shadow of the state capitol is one of the best cafes in Columbia. Stop in for a coffee or some lunch. I always order the Turkey green apple and add brie cheese with a side of pasta. The pasta is addictive. read more

The staff is kind and responsive. While the menu doesn't offer any expectation breaking fare, the food and coffee is excellently prepared and has great quality. The dining area has an interesting and comfortable atmosphere. read more

I loved this place. Very good food and healthy options. Great service! Will be back if I'm in town again.

I ate at Immaculate Consumption recently for the first time in years. Its wasn't what I remember. I remember it being a very good sandwich shop. Now, I just found it sort of basic. I had ham and cheese on a croissant and the pasta salad. Both were good but not special. Service was friendly and quick. I'll give it another try later. But for now I'm underwhelmed. read more

Immaculate Consumption - Ham & Cheese with pasta salad. - Sandwiches Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I really like it here, one of the best coffee shop meeting spaces in Columbia (my opinion). It's a bit quieter here, plenty of tables for groups of 4+. Professionals from the State House and students alike are in and out. They serve breakfast sandwiches, grits, yogurt bowls... just enough but more than pastries to get your morning going. They're closed on the weekend which is only a bummer because I'd love to show friends. There is also space downstairs-- not sure how many people know that. Parking isn't great, but I always seem to get a spot. Just lucky I guess! read more

A very nice sandwich shop behind the state house which offers a little bit of different styles of sandwiches that have real horsey sauce or another great sauce. A lot of people come here for coffee that is roasted downstairs I've noticed over the last couple of visits. Wish this spot was opened on weekends and served grits all day long while open as chips and pasta salad bores me to death on menus. read more

Came here for breakfast before meeting in town and their breakfast sandwich was incredible! The biscuit was great and the coffee was wonderful. Will definitely be back when I return to town. read more

Always trust that librarians are information specialists. I asked two after walking around university campus just down the road. You could boot YourMac Pc or IMMAC (slang for this restaurant/coffee joint). I learned 2 things: 1) some librarians are very very hot and 2) this restaurant has good lemonade and Homemade horseradish. I hear green olive across the street is also tasty. read more

Again, over the counter ordering can be stressful especially in a place that has as many options as this! The food is delish, maybe a bit pricey but this is a hidden gem. There's all kinds of sandwiches.. you can even put apple slices on your sandwich. I tried this for the first time and loved it. The chicken sandwich was also tasty but unique- it had melted cheese in it! The coffee here is made fresh and it smells like it inside. There's plenty of sandwich choices on all different kinds of bread which is good. There's also a delicious and very customizable breakfast menu. The drink choices are also tasty. read more

Immaculate Consumption - Scott 's Chix Salad Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Best coffee shop in town! Great ambiance great customer service and delicious coffee AND food. Very cool place

Drove to Columbia today to try this place for lunch. Had Scott's chicken salad sandwich. They use oil instead of mayonnaise and it makes a huge difference in taste. Also, it's served warm instead of cold. Nothing like it no where. The pasta salad side was highly touted by other Yelpers and it was outstanding. Lots of students at USC eat here so you know it's affordable. We loved it and will return. read more

According to Google Maps, I am 2,688 miles from Immaculate, or 43 hours of cross-country bleary-eyed cruising (dare you to find me), and all I want to do is remember the Rox Chick Salad Sandwich. However the hell you spell it. The marinated chicken--chunks, not shredded. The roasted peppers. The sliver or two of avocado. The cherry tomatoes. The sliced almonds. The provolone, I think it is, some kind of white, gooey cheese. A splash of tabasco. And the Immaculate signature, green apples! All wrapped in a warm is-it-homemade? pita and served with a heaping of their pasta salad. This pasta salad has no comparisons. A touch of balsamic in that basil vinagrette and served warm. Get. It. Now. If not, go for the palo verde special, the turkey green apple, anything with their horseradish sauce, or the gazpacho; for breakfast let those stone-ground grits warm you up; and for anytime, get a wonderful espresso drink or spaz out on mug after mug of some deep, soul stirring coffee. Sit down. Enjoy the reclaimed pews for seating, the wood, the high ceilings, the hip music and staff, and the murmur of folk loving life. read more

Turkey Green Apple sandwich is the best, and this pasta salad is to die for. So sad this place isn't open on the weekends. They have mexican coke and lots of different coffees. That pasta salad though.... read more

Immac is one of the few hole in the wall type coffee shops left in Columbia. They are usually crowded with students, USC faculty and staff, lawmakers, and other state workers who are within walking distance. They have pretty good prices on lunch, which has a creative selection of soups, salads and sandwiches. For a more secluded lunch, though noisy from the creaking floor, head downstairs to the basement. Good vegetarian options, and I can't comment in the coffee since I haven't had any from there in a while. read more

This is my favorite place in Columbia for regular brewed coffee. I usually judge places based on their coffee, since most of the time that's my favorite thing to buy, and even more often it's the only thing I can afford. Immac has quality, delicious coffee that goes well with anything. The few real meals I have eaten there have been enjoyable, with a surprising option of pasta on the side that is warm and delicious. The atmosphere is nice, and there is a crazy busy lunch rush during everyone's lunch break. I have studied for many exams here. Although it gets loud, it is somehow relaxing, and I always get a lot of work done. The interior is fun and interesting. I wish they had mugs for dine-in coffee, because I hate drinking out of styrofoam when I don't have to, but other than that no complaints! read more

Go sit in pews and have a lovely little nosh, breakfast, or coffee. Bonus points for even having a cuban style coffee--even if it's not 100% legit! I will be back eagerly and often for their amazing house-roasted beans and warm customer service. read more

I had to grab food quickly in walking distance of state house. I have not been in here in years. Got a roast beef/horseradish on pumpernickel with a side of pasta. Cost me over 10 dollars with tax ect The sandwich was thin on the not so impressive meat. Not sure how they heated it. I left hungry. I think Arby's would have been a much better choice taste and $$ wise if there had been one nearby. read more

This place would make a killing if it had reasonable hours, especially with The Nick right next to it. Closed on weekends and only open till 6 (with food closing down at around 3), those are not reasonable hours. Especially when this place has the best fucking food I've had here thus far. This place makes one hell of a salad. I'm talking the Chix Salad plate here people. Can we say fresh veggies? Fresh chicken? Fresh chicken salad not soaked in mayonnaise? Yes, yes, and yes. And their frozen mocha. Dear God, a real fucking frozen coffee drink. Not some powdery starbucks imitation, but actually shots of espresso, milk, and chocolate tossed into a blender with ice. Go here, stand in the massive food line (there's a reason, as i've elaborated, why it's massive) and get a frozen mocha, a scone, and something to eat. You'll be glad for it. read more

Immaculate Consumption is a great local coffee roaster and they make a few excellent lunch offerings. I only wish they had longer hours! My favorite there is the turkey and green apple sandwich with brie. It is delicious and I never stray from this item no matter how tempting the rest of the menu looks. read more

This place was very very good. The interior is very laid back, with re-used church pews serving as seating for tables and local artists works on the wall for purchase. I had the turkey croissant and my wife had the special which was kind of like a tuna salad in sandwich form, and she also raved about it. The staff was very polite, and had recommendations based on your tastes. The place is also great for sitting and reading or people watching, as you get all types in here for a bite to eat or a coffee. They have coffee as well as a fridge with a small beer / juice / pop selection. I was really excited to see they had Jarritos, but they were out of mandarin so I settled for an Anchor Summer Steam instead. A great place to grab a bite and a drink before the matinee at the Nick (before it moves). read more

This is hands down my favorite place to get coffee! It's such a nice break from Starbucks. The coffee is great but the atmosphere is better! Check out the downstairs if you have a larger group that may get loud, or if you want a more private conversation with a friend. The upstairs also has a great vibe. This place is just such a gem! We need more places like IMACC in Columbian Also, get the iced chai latte. It's amazing! read more

I'm so glad my cousin took me here for lunch over the weekend! The interior is so eclectic and homey. I love the wooden feel, and there are photos everywhere of good friends who seem to run/own the whole place. It's fun to see the people in the photos working in front of your very eyes! The service is quick, the coffee is great (roasted in-house, downstairs where there is extra seating), the food is delicious. I ordered the Turkey Green Apple sandwich, which comes with a side of your choice (kettle chips, pasta, etc) and a pickle. The sandwich itself had REAL turkey meat (shredded), white cheddar, green apple slices, lettuce and tomato (I think). It was toasted just enough that the sourdough bread was crispy and the cheddar was melted. I got pasta as my side, and DAMN was it good!! You get a generous portion of whole wheat penne pan-tossed in olive oil, garlic, basil, salt and pepper. The place gets pretty busy during lunchtime, as many businessmen/women hit the place up during break. You can call in to order and pick up if you're in a hurry. read more
