“Came here for a nice breakfast and it exceeded my expectations. I got the cookie dough waffle and it was amazing, definitely will be coming back to get it again. My waitress was Hope and she was amazing! Great service and she was very attentive to my needs. Overall nice atmosphere and staff. Will be coming back.“
“My family and I are out of towners we were on a college tour weekend. We were late getting into Columbia and wanted a good dinner. The reviews led us to Mr. Friendly's. It was a Saturday night, and we had no reservations, but were there late and so there was a table available. The experience started with the helpful woman at valet. She was so friendly and accommodating. She recommended the fried green tomatoes, which were great. The appetizers and mains were excellent, but the sides of creamy grits and greens were the best I've had. They also had a great beer and wine selection and excellent pricing. Definitely a satisfying experience, and I would go back again anytime.“
“Loveland coffee is the Cheers bar of Irmo. I have not been in for a while (over a year) and the owner still remembered me and my old order. I now order something else and he made a comment about it. It is very refreshing to know that this type of customer service is around. From: Chai Tea Latte “
“The, sandwich spot when their hours permit. Got a Cuban. Missin me some Miami; and what I think Cuba tastes like if it was toasted on bread. Not disappointed at all. The perfect plancha finish that is disired by those who crave it's uninterrupted crust on this under-rated sandwich. Could've been the next burger, if a certain political party won.“
“I had breakfast at broken egg cafe on 4/2 yeand 4/3. The menu is full of brunch type itemsI ordered 1/2’order of beignets with a soft scrambled egg baked thick bacon hot tea and delicious fresh strawberries. All of these items were great. The large menu includes waffles every imaginable omelets and specialty drinks. Family oriented. I see but one flaw that isThe coffee or tea should be served in a small coffee or hot water pitcher. Prices are affordable For a family of 3 about $15.Vegetarian options: Various salads. Fresh fruitDietary restrictions: Dietary restriction will be followedKid-friendliness: Kid portions open wash rooms dressing table decor for kidsWheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking wheelchair accessable tables accountable“
“All around pleasant experience. Was busy, but kept things moving. LOTS of choices but settled on cafe breve with van syrup and was terrific, even served at just the right drinking temp to not burn my mouth!Got the egg, gruyere and tomato jam on biscuit and added the Serrano ham. Absolutely delicious and the biscuit definitely tasted housemade. Would love to return when am in area again.Parking: Metered lot in front but don't need to feed them on Sundays (had to ask a local though as didn't see hours posted anyehere)“
“There are a lot of coffee options in Columbia but Azalea is my favorite. The baristas are knowledgeable and warm. You can’t feel out of place here. Become a regular and they’ll remember your name, your order, and your dog’s name. The environment is cozy and cared for. Importantly, their drinks are consistently good. You can tell these folks are trained and really care about their craft!!! The drinks are never too watery, burnt tasting or weak. After going to another popular coffee establishment in Columbia that told me their go-to for an iced latte is COLD BREW instead of espresso… I never want to venture out anymore. I love you, Azalea. ?“
“Had a wonderful lunch with my sisters. Definitely would stop by and plan an outing for an afternoon. Gift shop was outstanding! Chocolate was delicious. Service was very kind and helpful explaining the menu in detail. Best Burger in town! Will be back soon.Parking: Overflow parking is available on grass area and in front of all the garage doors.“
“Love love love!! There isn't a lot to say about this wonderful restaurant that hasn't already been said. The service was spectacular, the menu was excellent, prices weren't bad, and the food was stellar. The different salt and pepper shakers at every table set a cute aesthetic feeling, making the place feel homely. Everything there felt homemade, and nothing was giving defrosted. Even the pesto pasta felt homey. Can't wait to go back!!“
“Good stick to your ribs country style food. Service was great & food came shortly. It's an older restaurant so not all fancy inside - but - oh cares !! ( Been coming to this location since I was a teenager it been a few different eateries.)“
“Food was good. Made to order. Service was slow. We arrived at 1:00, after the lunch hour. A friend (not one of the owners) was filling in. I enjoyed my chicken, rice, peas and corn in the Carolina bowl, but next time, I'll have the salad on the side. I would have preferred beef tips, but they were out.“
“I had an absolutely amazing time at this restaurant recently. The food was so authentic that it felt like I was transported to a whole new culinary world. Every dish was like a work of art, perfectly capturing the essence of its origin. The flavors were incredibly rich and genuine, a true testament to the chef's mastery of authentic cuisine. The ambiance of the place perfectly reflected the cultural vibe, and the service was impeccable. I can't recommend this place enough to anyone who wants a truly exceptional dining experience.“
“Cutest darn place you will ever see inside. Food is fresh, wholesome and incredibly tasty. Sandwiches are super flavorful and the bread is absolutely delicious. Pasta salad was the show stopper bursting with yummy goodness Jackie, Jade, Stephen and owner Rob Reed are all local and very friendly. A SUPER place for a great meal!“

“I thoroughly enjoyed the experience ! The ingredients were freshly made and the aesthetics were pleasing to the eye. This charcuterie lived up to my expectations for the vision I had for my event. It was enough food for all the guests and many wanted more ! I look forward to working with Celeb Studios for future events.“
“I came here for a nice place to relax and do some computer work and I was not disappointed. They have plenty of options for espresso or just regular coffee with my favorite being their pour-over selection. They also have some light eats if you're feeling a little munchy. I would definitely come here again.“
“a columbia classic! i have gone here throughout my years as a college kid and i love it. it's so warm and cozy in here for studying, but also a great place to hang out with friends. their mochas are always delicious. one of my fave coffee spots.“
“I broke down and had to pull into a parking lot so i pulled into a spot that i didn’t realize at the time was “employee parking only” once i saw that sine i started to panic but when they opened i went in and explained my situation to the staff and they told me not to worry! Lovely staff and wish them the best!“
“The Crescent Cafe is the real star of going to the state museum. Wow! The food was great! The absolute best pimento cheese I've ever had in my life. I would pay some big money for that recipe. :) I wish I lived closer, I'd be a regular.“
“Seriously delish "ttlt" (tofu blt). (~$8.80). Shares a space with Cool Beans which is upstairs. Awesome menu with tons of vegetarian options. Nice place to relax and chat with some friends. Board games available, cozy chairs, good vibes!“
“Looking for the best fish sandwich in Columbia, SC. Started off at Sandwich Depot because they were near an appointment my wife had. Price was good and cod was so flavorful. Only wish they added tarter sauce instead of just mayonnaise. Also tried the Buffalo chicken wrap which was again flavorful but dry. Would definitely order it again but add my own tarter sauce.“
“Food was a hit or miss. I spit out some of my breakfast quesadilla because there was a sweet pickle in it (nasty). Husbands dish was under-seasoned. The parfait was delicious but was put in a to-go box (awkward). Shrimp and grits were good and so was the everything bagel. I probably won't ever order from here again.“
