This coffee shop didn't really impress me. They don't have food, just cakes and dessert. The…read morebarista was nice but not too personable. I took my coffee to-go. I didn't even finish it because it didn't taste good. The coffee shop vibe is cool since they have a lot of art and cool stuff on the walls like a collectible toy car case. Maybe to sit here and work would be nice. Possibly ordering something different than the Grasshopper (which is one of their signature drinks, let that be known) next time might work but I'm not planning on coming back to this coffee shop. This place was recommended to me as well but there are plenty of other coffee shops that I will be visiting in Augusta.

Objectively speaking, though, the product is just not good and is absurdly expensive. I'm by no means a coffee snob but I swear, I thought I was tasting burnt dirt. Each sip tasted like disgusting sand that stuck to our teeth. Head down the street to Christie's for a kind, unique experience and most importantly - good, no frills coffee. Skip this place. McDonalds is better.

I really liked the Oliver Gospel Roastery! I had walked past it multiple times in the past, but…read morefinally decided to stop in and try it out. Well, I'm glad that I finally did! The bagels and coffee were good, but what I liked most about the café was the ambiance, as well as the extremely friendly customer service. I liked the ambiance because it gave a professional vibe that made it seem like a good place to meet a colleague or try to get some work done. Furthermore, even for the standards of local coffee shops, all of the baristas working there were so nice and friendly, and their attitudes felt genuine and not forced. The only reason I'm leaving my review at four (4) stars is that, like I said earlier, the bagels and coffee were good, but not extraordinary. Had they been a little bit better, Oliver Gospel Roastery would be a five (5) star spot!

The interaction wasn't horrible but also just cold, standoffish and not inviting which was a bummer. The blueberry pecan muffin looked so good but that was also dry and they did not offer to heat it up. Highlight was definitely the drink but overall the visit here was not anything to write home about.

This was such a great gift shop! They had so many cool South Carolina related items that I wish…read morethat it was its own standalone store. I loved their selection of South Carolina hats, artworks, household items, clothing, etc. Also, as a philatelist, (one who loves mail) this is one of the few places in Columbia to buy postcards (and they're affordable as well!) They also had a lot of cool Carolina and Clemson merchandise, as well as items that highlight the history of the state of South Carolina. All-in-all, it was a great store, and my only complaint is that it's not its own standalone location! Would highly recommend!

Cotton Mill Exchange is often thought of as the gift shop located within the South Carolina State…read moreMuseum. However, it's really more than that. It doesn't just handle museum related items and souvenirs. Its inventory is related to everything of the entire State of South Carolina. As they state, they've "...explored every corner of the state to bring you the best of South Carolina," and from what I've seen they have done that and then some. It's a really big store and has most everything one can think of that would be South Carolina related and most of the goods are of superior quality, not just cheap Chinese built trinkets. But the best part is the selection. They have everything from jewelry to clothing to home decorator items and the staff is more than willing to assist. It's really one of the better shops I've seen within or a part of any public museum.

The coffee is decent here, but we had a very unfortunate experience…read more We stopped by at 2:30pm on a Saturday. We had thought they were open until 5pm. The place was apparently closed (we had mixed up which coffee shop it was on Google and thought it stayed open until 5pm) but the door was open. I opened the door, poked my head in, and asked the lady if they were open. She was polite and said no but they could sell me a bag of beans if needed. I said no thank you - Then out of nowhere the dog that stays in this building bolted toward me and out the door. My girlfriend was outside the building in the dirt parking lot with our new puppy just walking her around waiting for me. This dog of theirs in the building was unleashed and apparently uncontrollable because it got extremely aggressive, bolted out of the door by me before I could shut the door, and attacked our puppy. Luckily, it does not seem our puppy got bitten, but this is not acceptable as my girlfriend and our puppy were far outside of the building and way out in the parking lot - not even coming in. If you're going to have a dog in this place, please either be able to control it and not let it run outside of the building and attack other dogs or please keep it leashed. We will not be going back here due to this experience.

I was welcomed immediately when I walked in, which made me feel right at home. I ordered a vanilla latte with almond milk, a chocolate chip muffin, and a pup cup for my dog.

Definitely a new favorite spot!

They didn't have my first choice pastry (and donuts are coming but not there yet as of this writing); nonetheless my spinach and feta croissant delivered a delightfully browned exterior and strong taste.

A drive-through was available for those on the go, and this place is notably open on Sunday, when it's hard to find anything in this area.

I could not taste the flavor that I asked for and there was no recommendation or suggestion of remaking it. I felt like "get what you get and don't pitch a fit!" Instead of making it "right".

I loved every sip! Such a great find, and I'm already looking forward to coming back the next time we're in the area. Highly recommend!
