If you haven't been to Salt & Sour yet, you're missing out on one of Columbia, SC's most delectable treasures. Located in rosewood this charming bakery is a haven for bread lovers, pastry enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the magic of freshly baked goods. Their assortment of pastries and baked goods is nothing short of extraordinary. Flaky, buttery croissants? Check. Seasonal fruit danishes that burst with jammy goodness? Check. Cookies with edges crisp and centers chewy? Double check. And let's not forget their showstopping pain au chocolate--a masterpiece of laminated dough that shatters into a thousand buttery layers, revealing a ribbon of rich, oozy dark chocolate my personal recommendation!

Wonderful bakery that offers up delicious sweet treats. Great event space too for dinners.

Triple chocolate, cup
John B.

The reviews are a bit mixed here, but what I got was unambiguously good. There was a short wait, but not more than I needed to peruse the selection. A carmelized onion sourdough loaf was an easy choice, and was as mouthwatering as it sounds. I heated up bits of it with various spreads for a while. Picking a dessert was tougher, but I was recommended a cup with dark, milk, and white chocolate. Someone else at the register asked me what it was called, which I had no idea, but it turns out it was just the "triple chocolate". There was some sort of wafer embedded amongst the creaminess. I wanted to savor it, but I don't think it lasted a minute as it was so delicious. The shop was small inside but did have some outdoor seating. Many other creations looked worth trying, including bagels.

So if I could give this 10 stars......I would! My wife and I have gone from once before. We got sour dough bread, and some pastries. Sadly I didn't take any pics HOWEVER I've been following their Instagram page and I'm signed up for the text messages. I've been eyeing their raspberry and passion fruit croissant since I saw it in their story. To my surprise my wife picked one up and it was waiting for me when I got home. When I say it was worth every penny she paid. it truly was amazing. The raspberry and passion fruit filling was in every bite. I'm basing my ambiance experience based off the first time I went. It's a small cute bakery. Some outdoor seating is available to sit and enjoy your food. They have a variety of items to eat. And it's a woman owned business!

Fresh baked bread

My partner was on the hunt for scones and since we were in the neighborhood we chose to stop here. My favorite part of this establishment is their seating outside. It is heavily shaded, but very breezy. Perfect for a hot day.Sadly they were out of scones so my partner went with a few other options. The biscuit was decent, I'd say a 6 out of 10, the spanakopita was good but I'm not sure if that was freshly made. I'd give those a 7 out of 10. The coffee cream filled eclair is a total miss. Neither of us cared for it. The mango cherry tart was very very nice! I could taste amaretto which complimented the fruit very well! This would be perfect for a picnic or brunch! 9 out of 10! Customer service was cool..

Been such a huge fan for awhile and they are my top bakery in Columbia! Not only is everything sourdough which is amazing since not only am I a fan, but it is a dietary restriction of mine where I can only have sourdough bread and this bakery has been a game changer. They have delicious breakfast sandwiches on their sourdough bagels and such lovely baked treats that I gawk over every time I walk in. The service is always fast and everyone is so kind. I love coming in to pick up food because I always leave with such delicious treats that I can't stop myself from getting because they are THAT GOOD!

All the beautiful baked goods on display

I love finding a local bakery that you can enjoy your Saturday morning at. What a find with Sour and Salt. In the Rosewood neighborhood, you definitely need to check this out. We enjoyed the kickin' chicken salad so much, we had to take some home. Also, the wild mushroom soup was out of this world. I started my day with a cheddar and chive bagel and vanilla oat milk cold brew. We also brought home some other baked goods because I just couldn't say no!

The most phenomenal breakfast sandwich I think I've ever had in Columbia. I got the sun-dried tomato bagel with bacon and it's so good and not Greasy.

Pastries ready to go. (Featuring cinnamon rolls)

Traveling from Va, after thanksgiving night with the family .I was craving red velvet cake…read more I know big back thoughts but, it was worth it! We were welcomed upon entry! Cakes, cupcakes and cookies were on display. You can sit down if that's your thing. Although, it is pretty small. I tried the butter pound cake it was so moist and dense, exactly what a pound cake should be! My lady got the pound cake and I got the red velvet cake! It was moist and had the perfect amount of cocoa. It was topped with cream cheese icing, the creamy icing was also layered in between the cake! If you're looking for good cake this is the spot.

I ended up getting a few things, a pecan chewie, which was so delicious. The flavor was great and the texture was perfect and soft. I also got a white cake which was made with an apple jelly as opposed to sugar and honestly I had no idea what to expect. Took a bite and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The cake was moist but not soggy and was sweet but not too sweet. So good. Lastly I got a strawberry cupcake but unfortunately after the other 2 I could not take a bite of anything else. By the time I got to the cupcake it had hardened after sitting for so long and was not really edible. This was obviously not the fault of the baker so I just act as if I didn't get that one. I would really recommend GG's for dessert, it has some great choices and the people are great, and that for me is always a plus.

I went on a weekday morning when it wasn't too packed, and I really enjoyed the authentic deli ambiance, which isn't the easiest thing to find in this neck of the woods. My server (whose name I didn't catch) was such a sweetheart and did an amazing job of making sure my drinks were re-filled, my food was delivered on time, and was proactive in offering me a cup of coffee to-go. After my meal, I enjoyed wandering around the other side of the restaurant for a few minutes, which included a cigar room, an enormous wine cellar, and a host of fine cheeses that I had never heard of before! All-in-all, I really enjoyed The Gourmet Shop, will definitely be back in the future, and would recommend it to anybody in the area who's looking for an authentic deli experience!

They have wonderful sandwiches and the best tomato bisque in town (order with a side of Fresh Bread). Their chicken, shrimp and pimento cheese are all fan favorites!

Gourmet Shop is the best spot in 5 Points!

I didn't expect it to be a boneless breast. Dark meat would've given it more flavor. The potatoes were flavorful and creamy. The collard greens were too acidic for me. Cornmeal Fried N.C. Catfish (3/5): The catfish wasn't anything special but the grits were very good. Lots of flavor and good texture. The collard greens were too acidic for me. Fried Adluh Yellow Grit Cakes (3/5): Would've been a lot better if it was fried more and had a crispier exterior. The herb goat cheese was good, but there was a little too much of it. Loved the roasted garlic (great for spreading on the complimentary bread!) Buttermilk Fried Shrimp (2/5): Only came with 4 shrimp. The shrimp itself wasn't very meaty and it also wasn't fried long enough. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)
