Busy sit down breakfast restaurant🥚🥓 Very good food. Even has a bar area you can eat at. Some outdoor seating. Large menu. Some gluten friendly options. Lots of drink choices. Coke products including Coke Zero. Food came out very fast on a busy Saturday morning. Service is friendly and checks on you often. Located not far from downtown Columbia in a vibrant area with restaurants, shopping and bars. Parking can be a bit tricky. There is a small parking lot and on street parking. There is also a free lot up and behind the building a little hard to find.

This hidden gem of restaurant was one we just happened to stumble across while site seeing on foot downtown. We didn’t make a reservation, however they were kind enough to fit us in. The menu had some interesting items ranging from different countries surrounding the Mediterranean but having the kids with us meant pizza all around. We went with the gluten free crust on both pizzas and we left with our stomachs happy and full. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area or just so happen to get semi lost and they can squeeze you in. Oh and the staff were kind and gracious.

It wasn't very busy inside but the drive-thru was packed. We ordered our drinks and food, and had to maybe 5 minutes for the hot food. It was ok as cream from the cold brew was oozing thru the coffee like a lava lamp, and there was just something relaxing about that. The food was good & they had gluten free options as my wifey has an gluten allergy (Celiac's). We ate outside in some comfy chairs, and it was just a nice relaxed atmosphere. Really enjoyed it.

This place is fantastic! They have all kinds of goodies. Every person I’ve met working in the store has been incredibly pleasant to talk to, which is becoming rare. They have a bakery, small batch in-house roasted coffee, fresh fruits and veggies, organic dates (they’re a golden color and amazing), meats, grains, hummus, cheeses, wine, gift items, etc. I don’t like coffee without sweetener, but I drank an entire latte unsweetened and it was delicious. They also do gluten-free breads and pastries on Wednesdays.

Brought my dad here for his birthday. Not my normal haunt and we didnt have reservations (eek). The hostess, Anna, was so kind and sat us in the bar area! (Thank you for helping me avoid a crisis Anna!) My dad had the filet and I had the seabass and mushrooms. The food was great! On top of that, our server, James, was knowledgable and welcoming. I have celiac disease and it's really difficult to dine out. Being service industry myself, and having "eating stipulations," I could not be more thankful to be able to eat GREAT FOOD ... ***SAFELY!*** with knowledgeable and empathetic service! 10/10 all the way around. This may be the new birthday spot to treat everyone I love! Thank yall so very much!

Best iced latte I’ve had in a long time! The service was great, super friendly, and fast! Really glad to have this coffee shop in the area I live in, I will be back! I got an Iced Caramel Latte and a Rainbow Bagel (with cream cheese). The atmosphere is very modern yet cozy and great study space. Also free wifi and a seating area outside! They also had gluten free (friendly) cookies available!
