We happened to stop for gas on our road trip across the street from this coffee shop. I love trying…read morelocal places instead of chains so I was excited they were open. I was able to order online with ease while we finished getting gas and a car wash. By the time we were done my order was ready which was about 10 mins. Since we had to get back on the road we couldn't stay to eat especially since our pup was in the car. However, from what I could tell the inside was very inviting. The staff was also very nice. Food and coffee were both great. I got a croissant sandwich and the potatoes. My only critique would be to cook the potatoes just a touch longer so they are crispy like they look online and a little more seasoning. My wife had to go back in to get me salt and pepper for them. I had a macchiato as well which was great. If we ever drive through the area again on a road trip I'll be sure to stop by again.

The food was inedible. Had the chicken and waffles and the chicken was still cold and obviously…read morepoorly microwaved. The avocado spread on the avo toast looked old and discolored. The latte was decent and we ate the fresh fruit from the waffle and fresh tomatoes that came with the avo toast but left the rest and walked out. I can't believe how many good reviews there are...

Derailed was a unique spot that was overall underwhelming…read more The ambiance and vibe in the building was very "small town gossip" from observing the relationship between the workers and patrons and the conversations had around us. I heard more about the drinking and dating habits of the people in the town of Booneville than I cared to during my visit. The room was rather stuffy and crowded with too much going on and the counter was crowded with things so much so that it was unclear where to stand to place your order. When you did step up to the baristas station to order then you were in the way of the restroom traffic and that of the staff delivering food and constantly being ushered to move. The biscuits and gravy were fine, but not great. The raspberry latte was okay. Personally, when I'm sitting in a cafe to dine in, I really appreciate a mug rather than a disposable to go cup. It's a really cute building, but I probably won't visit again.

My wife and I went to Sage for the first time this week, and it was fantastic. We got four…read moredifferent pastries, including the sticky toffee pastry and the honey lavender scone. They were all very good. I really enjoyed my French toast latte, and my wife liked her maple latte. We will definitely be back to try all the other pastries that frankly looked incredible in the display cases. This is the best place in Columbia to find delicious baked goods. It blows all the other places in Columbia out of the water.

Coming from the Kansas City metro area, my expectations for food are probably a little higher than…read moremost people in Columbia. I went to Sage with two friends and we had to wait a bit to find seating because it was so busy. The restaurant itself is pretty small and tight, so it was definitely on the louder side with everyone sitting close together, but it wasn't unbearable or anything worth complaining about. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant. The croissant itself was buttery and flaky, which I liked, but overall I wasn't very impressed, especially for the price. It just felt like something I could make at home for cheaper and probably better. One of my friends ordered the waffle though and said it was the best waffle he's ever had. He liked it so much that he ordered a second one, so that's definitely a positive.

Amazing pastries! I absolutely loved their classic cookie and blueberry scone. The blueberry was so…read morestrong in flavor that made the pastry perfect. They offered plenty of savory goods as well including bagels. Service was friendly but they did forget my friend's order for a while, when all he ordered was a black coffee. So we had to remind them twice. They have a drive thru which is also convenient. Otherwise plenty of parking in a huge lot. The coffee is good. I got the adult chocolate that was served iced. Too sweet for me but most of their drinks are on the sweeter end. Inside is cozy and has a nice warm setup. Lots of seating.

The drive through attendant wasn't the friendliest person I've encountered - no major issues, but was just straight to the point. The wait between ordering the smoothie and receiving it was a few minutes longer than other drive through coffee shops, but I wasn't in a hurry. Smoothie was pretty good - creamier than comparable coffee shops in KC area. I was a little bummed that they charged 50 cents for water when it was an add-on to a purchase. I know it's just 50 cents, but I wish they would tell you before charging you so it isn't a surprise on your receipt. I'll probably stop here again and try one of their espresso drinks. Looks like a fun spot.

I'm glad I drove a few minutes from the Hwy for this special treat! If I were a local, I may live here!

All of the staff was super friendly and the coffees were fantastic. I got a basic drip coffee with skim milk, but what took it to the next level was their house-made syrup.
