Latte single shot with oatmeal and honey, please. Just the right way to start a beautiful Sunday morning. Maybe a the perfect hidden gem at Lake Carolina. I enjoy the stillness of the space. You can seat and enjoy your coffee and danish. Or hang out at the couch area. Read a book in the sofa chair area. Or meet with friends and grab the bench table. Their prices are reasonable. They have a variety of options for coffee and danishes. Truly enjoyed stopping by before the start of my day. Thank you. read more

New to SC, tried two of their specials today, both were very subpar. Coffee tasted watered down, the only flavor came from the syrups. It's definitely cute on the inside, but coffee didn't live up to the vibe. Won't be returning. read more

Just stopped in here for a cup of coffee and a blueberry muffin! The blueberry muffin was pretty tasty. I put creamer in the Americano when I made it home. The service was fast and friendly. The young man behind the counter shared with me about things that go on at the establishment on Saturdays. Then another young lady approached me with ideas about crocheting and such. The place was beautifully decorated but modest. It was over the top. It's in the town center near me so I will return again. read more

Had the wonderful opportunity to visit this coffee shop multiple times on my recent trip to South Carolina and it was a highlight of the trip! It is decorated with vintage looking furniture and they are always playing the best music giving the whole shop a cozy vibe. The staff is very friendly and kind. Their coffees and entrees are delicious and made to order! The pastries are fresh and heated up upon order. I also loved being able to grab a couple essentials at the small market next door. If you're looking for a local coffee shop in the area, I would highly recommend! read more

First of all: DINE-IN during Covid. Thank you very much Lighthouse Café & Stuff! I love this cute, little coffee shop! It's located in Lake Carolina, near Blytheswood, SC. We're currently staying in a wonderful lake house on Lake Wateree and my brother-in-law said there are no bougee (pronounced: Booh-Zhee) coffee shops for me at the lake. So, thanks to YELP, I found one. If it checks off at least three of these boxes, the coffee shop is perfectly "bougee" for me: *Iced White Chocolate Mocha *WiFi *Variety of pastries, including fancy fruit scones (at least blueberry with another berry, etc.), croissants (no repackaged items from costco please); *Sandwiches involving croissant or panini-style *Jazzy or calming music *Cool retro or vintage furniture - comfy couch a MUST...just overall, charming. And this place checks off beyond three for sure! I wish I took more photos, but I was too consumed with how much I was loving my experience here. It is a Christian-owned coffee shop too - first realizing that they were playing awesome Worship Music, and then seeing the decor hints of Love, Peace, Kindness, etc. And of course, the name of the shop: Lighthouse. Plus, the girl who served us confirmed it. The iced white chocolate mocha was terrific - normally I ask it with Oat Milk, but forgot. It was fab. The Panini though...OMg!! Delish. The bread was crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside, and the prosciutto ham combined with the Brie cheese was divine! You can order the panini in a few variety of ways btw. There was the big comfy couch, but it was barricaded due to Covid - but no biggie. The girls there are the sweetest! The shop in itself is located in such a cute village with other neighboring businesses/restaurants, and apartment building. I could totally live there and found myself daydreaming about walking over to get my bougee coffee experience. GO THERE NOW. read more

Being a Seattle native where coffee is LIFE, I was a bit disappointed moving to Columbia and not being able to find local coffee shops that serve excellent coffee and yummy treats, while maintaining a desirable ambiance. Well, Lighthouse Cafe is exactly what I was looking for, and has become my go-to local spot. Besides all the positives listed above, the owners are so welcoming and friendly.

The atmosphere of the Lighthouse Cafe is identical to indie coffee houses in major cities. The owners and staff greet their customers and are quite simply wonderful people. Perfect for a quick coffee or tea, or a full meal (multiple sandwich options, all are terrific). I recommend their brownie as well. Check this place out, and make it part of your regular routine.

It was refreshing, well-balanced, and the perfect introduction to matcha. The customer service was superb. I was greeted as soon as I walked in, and the staff took the time to answer all of my questions and help me choose a drink. Their friendly, welcoming attitude made the experience even better. The atmosphere is another standout. It's cozy, inviting, and the perfect place to work remotely, study, catch up with friends over lunch, or simply enjoy a great cup of coffee. This will definitely become one of my go-to coffee spots, and I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

The cafe was busy on this Saturday morning yet welcoming, clean, and relaxed. There was a great energy inside with people chatting, bible studying, working, and easing into their weekends over coffee and pastries. I ordered a 16 oz iced matcha latte with lavender syrup and wow that drink absolutely revived me. The lavender added a great floral sweetness without overpowering the matcha making it super refreshing after a long night of travel. I also devoured the prosciutto and cheddar scone which was savory, buttery, and delicious. The combination of salty prosciutto and sharp cheddar was perfect. The employees were all sweet and welcoming which made the stop even better. Great drinks, tasty food, kind staff, and a cozy atmosphere - exactly the kind of local coffee shop I love finding while traveling. Super cute small gift shop, too! I'd absolutely stop back the next time I'm passing through the area.
