They do have an outdoor seating area where I believe is put to good use during the warmer weather. I appreciate the up to date trendy books they have to offer! The staff is nice too. They also have merch such as tote bags and t-shirts you can purchase as well.

Probably the best book store in Columbia..and they serve wine! Aside from that they have a…read morerelaxing spacious reading area and back yard garden to sit & enjoy ur favorites. They have a great selection of hard to find and contemporary titles and the staff are so nice. They hold special events and have a variety of book clubs and a membership program that earns you discounts on coffee, drinks and other items. Check this place out..great vibe and chill space. They stay open late too which is a bonus.

Sometimes they run a BOGO sale and I was able to catch this on Mystery/Suspense Novels and hooked a Hitchcock! Can't beat snagging 2 books for eight books! Great deal! They even take books in on trade to boot. The ladies that work there were very helpful and we found some neat things. They even have a nice selection or rare and first edition novels.

I've been to the book dispensary twice now and I will say, I love how many different types of books…read morethere are. I do have some problems, though. Firstly, the latest time I went, there were boxes of books everywhere, making it impossible to get into most sections. The childrens' section is quite small. The service is ok, but they are very unorganised, they said they had a book that I needed for school but they didn't end up having it. Their book trade in system is quite sloppy, I gave them $200 worth of old books and they gave me $15 worth of book credits. the value is terrible as well. A very rough looking book about Athens, Greece that I bought was $25, originally $25.50. Other than that, I love the place, I just wish it had better organisation and value.

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.

This little gem of a bookstore made my day. It was absolutely amazing. It is a queer bookstore…read moremeaning most of the books on their shelves have queer themes, but they really had a great selection with lots of different genres. It was really nice. It's very quaint and cozy and even has a little book nook for children. Oh and I can't forget that there also a coffee shop. I didn't buy any coffee, but it's nice to know if I wanted to I could. Now it is a little difficult to find as it is tucked inside this other building so just look for The Arcade building that has the Asian noodle restaurant. It's in that building down the hall. I absolutely cannot wait to go back. If you're in the area and you love a cozy little bookstore you've got to stop by. The staff are really nice and helpful. It was just an awesome vibe!

We were using a Visa gift card to pay for a portion of these items when the owner/manager informed us that they couldn't process the gift card because of their antiquated transaction equipment. He said "we type the card information in manually and sometimes it works". Hmmm, sounds as if this has happened before and it'd be smart to update your systems to accommodate your costumers. He was rude and combative when we expressed how dissapointed we were that this happened. He doesn't want your business. The items are over-priced for used CDs and records anyway.

In particular, they probably have the best selection of Gamecock hats that I've seen out of all the places I've been, and I really enjoyed perusing all the different designs. I also liked their selection of home accessories, decals, and other miscellaneous items such as golf covers and foam fingers. Finally, the one (1) employee that I interacted with was extremely nice and provided excellent customer service. The only complaint that I have about Addam's is that all of the merchandise was extremely expensive and is probably not affordable for a lot of Gamecock fans. I understand that they have a target demographic and need to make a profit, but it would be nice if it was a little bit more affordable and thus accessible to a larger percentage of the fanbase.
