Art Shack Gallery |
|
(Restaurants - Breakfast) |
|
2701-A Rosewood Dr, Columbia 29205 803-799-9409 |
 |
| |
Description:
It's not exactly a shack (more like a cute and brightly painted boutique), but the Art Shack does indeed have art. The works of local artists are displayed throughout, from turned wood items to oil paintings to pottery. It's a great place to find something unique for a gift or for yourself. But they also have a small café offering good coffee, smoothies and restorative baked goods such as muffins, scones and cookies. Stop by to peruse the art, and then relax with a cup of joe and a treat! |

Café Strudel |

118 State St, West Columbia 29169 803-794-6634 |

Description:
CAYCE / WEST COLUMBIA. Café Strudel is a trusted destination for breakfast and dessert, no matter what time it is. Their Hangover Hashbrowns (smothered with onions, peppers, cheese and two eggs) are simply fantastic, and they're available all day. More traditional lunch options include soups, salads, well-stuffed sandwiches and burgers. But if you just want a little something sweet or a steaming cup of coffee, you'll be quite happy with your choices here. Sunday brunch is most wonderful, too. |

Cool Beans |
|

| |
Description:
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA. Regularly cited as Columbia's coolest coffeehouse, Cool Beans has everything you're looking for. The food is satisfying, the coffee is great (try the "Perfect Woman" – it's a mocha-type concoction with whipped cream and a chocolate disc on top), the WiFi is free and the clientele is eclectic. Plus, they stay open until midnight, making it a decent place to hang out if the bar scene isn't your style. |

|
116 State St, West Columbia 29169-7540 803-791-5663 |
 |
| |
Description:
CAYCE / WEST COLUMBIA. With plenty of character, friendly service, and an excellent roster of live acoustic music, this laid-back coffeehouse is a local favorite. Then, there's the coffee: from espresso to cappuccino to your basic cup of joe, the quality is consistently high. Try a buttery scone, a tasty pastry, or, if you are really feeling indulgent, the chocolate-topped strawberry cake. Plenty of lunch and dinner options, too. |

Immaculate Consumption |
|
(Restaurants - Breakfast) |
|
933 Main St, Columbia 29201 803-799-9053 |
 |
| |
Description:
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA. At lunch, the lines at Immaculate Consumption are a little daunting, but there's a good reason for that. The food is exceptionally good, well above coffeehouse standards. It's nothing fancy – salads, sandwiches – but it's well prepared, fresh and unusual, and the baked goods are downright wonderful. And don't forget the fantastic coffee. If it's hot outside (and in Columbia there's a good chance of that!), opt for a frozen mocha. Divine. |

 |
| |
Description:
COLUMBIA NORTHWEST. Two of life's finer pleasures – chocolate and books – combined in one marvelous little shop. Stop by in the morning for a hot cup of coffee and a blueberry muffin or cinnamon roll. Late in the day, you can enjoy a fine gourmet chocolate, slice of pound cake or fresh-baked cookie. Don't neglect the books – the selection may be limited, but it's high-quality and fun to browse through. |

Lizard's Thicket |
|
(Restaurants - Breakfast) |
|
818 Elmwood Ave, Columbia 29201 803-779-6407 |
 |
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. The traditional Southern meat 'n three meal has been a standby for decades, and this family-owned, Columbia-area chain does it very well. Select one of about ten meats (beef stew, fried chicken or catfish, ham, and so forth), and then choose three sides, from collards and blackeyed peas to fried okra and squash casserole. Daily specials might be meatloaf, liver and onions or pot roast. And no meat 'n three would be complete without a classic Southern dessert like banana pudding or peach cobbler. |
