I had my usual oat milk latte with 1 pump of SF vanilla, and she had a maple syrup latte. The avocado toast was on a wide slice of wheat bread and topped with fresh greens and some berries. The eggs were cooked to order. Service is prompt, friendly, and laid back. The interior is fresh and modern, and the location is the end unit of a strip mall. If we are ever in the area again, we would return.

It's been way too long since I've been here. They have such good food. Today I had the Brunch…read moreSalad. So yummy. Lettuce as the base but then lots of bacon and 2 poached eggs on top. One of my friends got the salad too but added smoked salmon to it. She loved it. There is plenty of seating here esp since they expanded into the space next door. You order at counter and then they bring you your food. Lots of good beverage options too but I had already had my fill of tea for the day. Self serve water station is always a good idea.

I love that the barista or the customer service behind the table was able to assist me to teach me which coffees or which I should've known better, but sometimes I can't keep up with all of those things in my head.

Not my personal favorite drinks in the world but absolutely nothing wrong with them and most people love them! We love that it's open late for cocktails and pizza. It can be hard to find a table on busy days and they have a rule about no laptop work being done in the lower level during certain times.

Enter Pine Mountain Country Coffee on Festus Main Street. This is a mini Cracker Barrel. If you look around, it will resemble Cracker Barrel. They have all the candies and the sweets and the baked items. It's adorable inside. Their coffee is strong, it's great, and you should be supporting Local businesses like this. The service is genuine and way faster than the chains. Do not make me go protest in the Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts parking lots. Don't do that to me.

They recently have reworked the inside some and have a new candy station that is full of all kinds of seasonal goodies. When I worked down the street, I would often come for their cold brew coffee, fir an afternoon pick me up. They also serve some pretty amazing breakfast and lunch sandwiches on New York bagels. Weekend hours are longer over the summer and early fall staying open until 10pm but as they hit October the hours shift to close by 9 o'clock on the weekends. They have cute ice cream cone seating tables as well as an old time soda bar. Definitely our families go-to ice cream splurge. I love that it's on Main Street with all the cute boutiques, shopping and local events.

You have to check out The Coffee Pot in Columbia, IL!…read more From amazing coffee drinks to overnight oats, this is a one stop shop to treat yourself. The service is the friendliest in town, and they're all just such nice humans. Highly recommend the Sunset Lotus, or really any of the lotus drinks. You can even ask the barista for recommendations as they've never steered me wrong. It's very cute on the inside, and worth snapping a pict for Instagram. It's a walk in and walk out place, so it's a great place to grab a drink and check out the other small businesses along Main Street.

It's going to be a good morning if I am able to make a stop at The Coffee Pot. I don't make it too…read moreoften, but I have been a customer since before they opened the Columbia storefront and haven't had anything yet that I didn't enjoy. The themed seasonal offerings are fun to try. Today I enjoyed the "Old News Latte" - espresso with brown sugar, toasted marshmallow syrup, oat milk. There are also some quick grab-and-go food items that go well with the coffee menu for breakfast. I'd like to try to visit later in the day for some of the other items on the food menu. No seating inside, but happy morning vibes. Such a cute space, with plenty of green and a tropical fish tank to take in while you wait to place your order- though the line moves quickly. They have some fun merch (think JavaSoks and stickers). Service is fast and friendly, and the ladies working always seem to be having a good time. This morning, they were in coordinating Halloween costumes. The Coffee Pot is a great addition to Columbia. :)

The attractive cafe area is warm and bright; a great place to spend an afternoon with a friend or a good book. The two sisters who were at the counter were incredibly sweet and engaging. They shared that the location has been open for a month and that all of the baked goods were created by one of their husbands, who learned his craft from his two grandmothers who raised him. And he learned well! All of the samples the ladies shared were flat-out DELICIOUS and quickly led to a few unplanned purchases . We started with a slice of the moist apple cake, then we tried and ordered the strawberry cream bar (not 100% sure if that's the right name), followed quickly by the old fashioned donut bunt cake. All three were absolutely stellar! We topped it off with iced coffees which were much better than your usual corner cup of joe; fresh and smooth with no twinge of bitterness. Our only regret was not discovering this place sooner, as we found it on the last day of our trip from Seattle. If there's any justice in this world, the Daily Drip will become a neighborhood institution and will still be around the next time we visit STL.
