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 sat in a comfy chair to warm up from the cold outside (even tho i got a cold brew...) for a bit between screenings. Restrooms for paying customers only, and you gotta ask for the code to the door.

Best Flavored Whole Bean Coffee I've ever tasted. I fell…read morein love with Lokota Coffee while in school at MU. They ship nationwide, but if I'm in Columbia, I always pop in. They have a full Selection of food and always have 4 different Drip Coffees available. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is warm. They have recently moved the drip Coffee behind the counter.

Maybe is nostalgia, but my husband and I both enjoyed Lakota during college (he more than I as he…read morealways studied here!). Great coffee, tons of amazing latte options. Great service. Locally owned. What is not to love about this spot?

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.

I always have a great experience picking up a coffee and treat at the Fika Cup coffee truck. The…read moredrinks are creative, unique, and well-crafted. Today, I ordered a peach and lavender latte and a maple-glazed apple blondie. A friend got the stonefruit chai latte. Both drinks were delicious beyond our expectations, as was the blondie. The drink specials and rotating baked goods are always great. Service at the truck is friendly (the proprietor is so kind and patient) and efficient. The menus are clearly posted outside the truck so patrons can study them while waiting in line (if a line has formed). If this coffee truck had a storefront, I imagine it'd be my favorite coffee spot in town. The drinks and treats give such cozy vibes. Check the truck's website and social media to see where they'll be parked next. It's worth seeking out!

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.

Drinks and food are not nearly good enough for the staff's rude, flippant attitudes and the overall cold vibe of the place. I waited almost thirty minutes total to get one latte and a scone.

The place was highly recommended and I thought I was in for something really special. Sadly it was…read moredisappointing. 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.

Also got a peach almond scone, fresh made, like their other varieties, I think there was blueberry, bacon and chive, and another one, plus at least one type of muffin.
