21 Best Cafes near Columbia

“Every time I come here the staff is exceptionally kind, especially this morning. There was a young guy working behind the counter with a buzzed head and a big smile. He was so kind and interactive with my kids and couldn’t have been more welcoming. My daughter literally said “if I could come here every single morning for coffee to start my day, I’d want him serving it to me since he’s serving up coffee AND good vibes to start your day”. So true! The breakfast burritos are always delicious and the vegan options are my favorite including the vegan chocolate chip banana muffins. 🤩“

“Great food, drinks and staff! We have gone here for lunch numerous times and also used them for work luncheons. Highly recommend trying this spot!“

“Best coffee in Elizabethtown!“

“First time visit for lunch today. This place is OUTSTANDING in every category! I got the turkey club and my wife got the grilled chicken salad. Both were delicious! We saved room for dessert and got a grilled peach muffin and coffee. KILLER! Very friendly staff, and exceptionally clean throughout. Can’t wait to go back and try breakfast.“

“Savory sandwiches with flavor details tantalizing your tastebuds. Chicken Bacon BBQ on a pretzel roll had the perfect grilled flavor on a soft savory roll. Turkey Cranberry Wrap was the perfect balance of tangy cranberries with a kick of dressing on shredded turkey-Yum! I love it when a run of the mill sandwich surprises me. Delicious!! I enjoyed the positive Christian music too.(Manheim location)“

“On a whim, my wife recommended this place for us on the way to Hershey Park. We’re staying at the hotel across the street so I gave it a shot. As per usual, my wife was right and the smoothies we had were some of the best we’ve ever tasted!! I had the chia banana boost (with whey protein) and it was awesome. My wife had the apple matcha and she destroyed that!! This place literally was our go to spot for lunch and post workout meals for us. The prices of the meals and smoothies are amazingly fair, if not almost a steal for the portions offered. My family and I are going back here in February for another visit to the area and we are 10000% coming back!! I truly appreciate a great deal, and exceptional customer service. This location has both!! The owner and his staff were extremely courteous to my family and very helpful with assisting my small kids with placing orders that would best suit them. We’re from New York, so we’re not used to having our cake and eating it too, at least without paying exorbitant prices. This is a great surprise and a MUST VISIT for anybody looking for a huge portion and delicious meal/meal replacement.“

“we had their soul rolls tonight and they were absolutely delicious! 10/10. fast service too.“

“Delicious bagel breakfast sandwiches and coffee. Can’t wait to try their lunch menu. Friendly staff!“

“A must-visit featuring a delicious food and drink menu, relaxing indoor and outdoor atmosphere, and beautiful art and products available for purchase created by local vendors. I'm from out of the area and make sure to come here every time I'm in town! Definitely try the cronuts and hash bowl!“

“I stop here at least once a week. Their beverages are wonderful...sandwiches aren't bad either. Their soups on the other hand leave a lot to be desired. I had the veggie last week...it was so peppery that I couldn't eat it...I had the Italian Wedding soup this week...that was just a downright disgrace! The broth was so salty and I have never had or made Italian wedding soup with sausage meatballs...there wasn't any chicken to be found and carrots, spinach and orzo were nonexistent. The broth was so dark at first I thought they made a mistake. Lesson learned...next time I want Italian Wedding soup I will make my own.“

“Great food! Great drinks! Wonderful people! Like hanging out with friends! Food is fresh and filling! Drinks are served hot and fabulous enough to please picky teenagers! Highly recommend! Can’t wait to return!“

“Over 50 artisans selling fabulous products.Barista coffee bar and desserts at the entrance . Great coffee, great staff . One of the gems in Elizabethtown. They also have a second floor with available office space and meeting rooms with modern furniture and computer hookups.“

“I tried Common Grounds for the first time this morning and had the best experience! Upon parking in the church parking lot out back, the preschool director happened to see me and my daughter in the rain and asked if we wanted to walk with her through the church so as not to get wet. She was so kind! Everyone we met was so nice. The staff at the cafe were warm and the whole vibe was cozy. The coffee was so delicious! I ordered a peppermint mocha and the barista asked if I wanted white or dark chocolate. I asked her opinion and she said try the white - I'm so glad I did! We'll definitely be back! 😃“

“Love coming here for the ice cream and treats for the pup! My husband and I always get milkshakes (which are delicious) and the staff let me mix 2 flavors (black raspberry and cookies & cream) and it was so good! Will continue to keep coming back“
