Fantastic little coffee shop with a cozy and personal interior that combines the warmth of the room with the drink in your hands. The menu is varied and features multiple fun drink options, each one delicious. From hot coffee to frappuccinos, everybody will have something to enjoy here. Personal favorites are the fantasia for a chocolate beverage and a dirty chai latte for something to try some of their floral syrups. Every experience I've had here has been delightful with a staff that provides a fantastic customer service, Hunter and Lee have particularly been stand out, they made each interaction memorable and left me feeling known and valued. This has been a gem of a find and a shop to visit time and time again. Show less

We were walking around the campus and I got thirsty. I wanted to see if there were any local businesses we could visit. I found this place on Google Maps and I got a sweet tea. It was a really cool spot. It feels like a big house, and you walk up the stairs to order. The place was very busy with lots of students coming to hang out or study on a weekend. I really enjoyed the atmosphere here, and the people working were also very nice. Show less

This coffee shop is upstairs in a quaint little house where there is a small cafe located downstairs. It is cute and quaint and they have some really great coffee ideas. Like the "Perfect Man" which is a double shot espresso breve with Irish cream syrup... niiiiiice right?! They also serve quick breakfast sandwiches like egg on a croissant and some pastries. You can find college youth relaxing at the table with books and MacBooks in studious bliss but it doesn't have that "college kid" feel where you want to take your coffee to go. More like you are in the air with young adults exuding promising futures. They are part of the atmosphere. My one thing is I am totally in it for the coffee, but the food isn't always consistent and isn't always good. If they took 100% care in preparing fresh food, the place would be absolutely great.

This cozy space decorated with local art was the perfect spot to avoid the pouring rain outside. I tried the bacon and blues panini which did not disappoint.

It is downtown, but I paid this amount food with a cocktail at Five Points. They also changed the sandwich ingredients from blue cheese to feta. The taste and aroma are not the same. I am also a long-time customer. One last thing: One service person took orders, prepared them, and brought them to the table whenever she prepared your stuff. The whole thing stops and waits for it. I think that's my last visit. Show less

We are so glad we came across Cool Beans before heading back home. The coffee was very good and the barista was super helpful and kind.

Music was great with nice atmospheric sound and volume. It's in a cool old house, which is a neat vibe but makes for close quarters. Wasn't super busy when we were there, but I imagine it could be an issue during busy times. Overall great experience and helpful, friendly staff. Show less

Cool beans is a cute coffee shop located in downtown Columbia. They have plenty of parking spots available for customers that are close to the shop and easy to access. The shop is located on the second story of a house (might be difficult to get to if you have a wheelchair or difficulty walking up stairs) and does not have an elevator. Once inside they have chairs and tables set up in different rooms of the house decorated with paintings and art from local artists. The menu offers a variety of options and even includes vegan and vegetarian options. Everything is made to order so there is a little bit of a wait but it’s worth it. The staff are friendly and welcoming and over I was satisfied with my experience. Show less
