Fountain City Coffee

The staff are friendly and helpful and there are over a dozen specialty lattes from which to choose. I tried the Banana’s Foster and it tasted like banana rum custard. My friend ordered the Snickers latte and it tasted just like a Snickers. The atmosphere is relaxed and quiet and iWe are from the Pacific NW and we love our coffee. Fountain City Coffee did not disappoint. They roast their own beans, first of all. Their specialty drinks were fabulous and they also had some yummy scones and breakfast sandwiches. We visited five days in a row, which was every day that we were in town. s a nice place to read, study or hang with friends.

Really liked that they require masks inside. We ordered 2 sandwiches, 2 chips, and a drink. I left a 20% tip, because I value good customer service. When my food was ready, they called out for us to pick it up at the counter I noticed we didn't have the chips. The person who took our order was reading a book. She never looked up at me. I asked about the chips. She kept reading. Never acknowledged me. The person who put my food on the counter gave me my chips. Why wasn't I important to the person who took my order? Why couldn't she put her book down to acknowledge me? Customer service 101. Lacking.

This is the only legit coffee shop downtown. The only competition for quality of coffee was over by mother hen, of the shop and mother hen still exist, I haven't lived there in 4 yrs. But I love Fountain City Coffee, they knock it out the park, and I'm from the home of american coffee culture in the PNW.

The coffee was okay, the sandwiches were great but unfortunately the staff was very rude. They do require you to wear a mask, but they don’t sanitize the menus everybody is touching. It took us 42 minutes to get 3 sandwiches. The customer service was honestly terrible and I’ll never come back here.

Great coffee. Staff is always friendly and conversational. The portrait sketches of "regulars" hanging on the wall reflects their local coffee shop vibe. Make sure to make an account so you can get your free drink after 12 purchases. They also have a CSU student discount. JACK brew = double caffeine.

Probably one of the most unique coffee places I’ve been to. The variety of flavors in your coffee seems endless. They also have the most unique flavors of coffee beans. My husband and I go there quite often that the staff knows who we are.

Best coffee shop in all of Columbus, Georgia. They have Dr. Garry Pound portraits hanging on the walls and murals by Ralph Frank. You cannot beat the atmosphere and vibe of this place. They also sell a few cans or bottles of craft beer. I really recommend this place.

An interesting alternative to the Franchise Operations that have cornered the American coffee market in recent years.
Good Service and a variety of coffee beverage choices as well as pastry offerings.
A good place to gather with friends or go solo.
Local musicians perform good live shows on a periodic basis.

Coffee is always delightful, an almond milk matcha latte with a shot of lavender can do no wrong. The staff was also kind and sweet!

Very relaxed vibe with good seating for singular people as well as groups.

Good coffee and tea 3 blocks from where I live
