Our drinks were perfectly balanced and the microfoam is outstanding - I will never have foam in my latte anywhere else because this place does it right. We came on a slow holiday morning, the barista was super friendly and attentive to everyone who came in while we were there and we enjoyed the conversation with our coffee. The vibe is artsy and eclectic and the atmosphere is welcoming. They're also at the Columbia Farmers Market on Saturdays if you don't get downtown much. If you're looking for something new, the ube syrup is a must-try!

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.

I tried a blueberry scone (so soft, so fresh, so moist, perfectly not too sweet, lovely!) and a classic cappuccino - which was spot on everything you love in an espresso. Thank you Acola! 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.

When I called on the phone Gavin was very helpful and patient as I have dietary restrictions. I ordered a soup that was vegan and gluten free ( Beet, Apple etc) and I ordered what I thought was a nice green salad only to see Parmesan sprinkled all over it even though I was clear that I was gluten free and dairy free. They took out the croutons but not the cheese. Gavin apologized and did a refund but i was surprised that he didn't offer to make things right but offering me something else as it wasn't my mistake and I had to drive all the way back to return the salad to get a refund. I don't blame him at all and I was wondering if this is managements policy ? Again I don't wish to knock Him at all as he was super busy at lunch time and mistakes do happen. My review is directed at Management.

Really loved the old school coffee shop vibes with comfy chairs, dark wood, and lots and lots of beans! I got a shaken espresso with a bit of French vanilla and it was great!

I'll also have to pick up some of their beans next time I'm in down.

Overall, the food came out quickly and was tasty but lacking a little seasoning, the drinks were hot with sweet little notes on them. And the staff was awesome and kind. I would love to see a little pop of color in the building, it felt a little drab - they have lots of space for potential though! We handpicked this place because of the photos of all the windows and natural light and were disappointed to find all the blinds were drawn, so it just felt kind of dark and tight. Some ambiance music would be great too - we noticed there are several musical instruments and a stage so maybe there's live music nights or something similar that I am unaware of? It's a nice place to visit, and I think a few tweaks would really set this place apart!
