Coffee Zone

One of my favorite spots all four years of college (and after). Uniformly friendly welcome by the baristas. The space is quiet, relaxing, and spacious. It never feels crammed or unfriendly like some other places in town. Great food for a healthy lunch or breakfast. The Mediterranean omelet is a solid, cheap breakfast. I love their roasts–cinnamon, vanilla–which never taste bitter or like fake flavoring. As a bonus: best music in town. Great for working, writing, or a chill coffee date spot.

Cozy little place! Great coffee and food, definitely worth stopping by

Been coming here for over 10 years and it’s my favorite coffee/ lunch spot in town. Owners are great and always super friendly. Food and drinks are delicious and always well prepared!
If you haven’t been here or are from out of town... this is where you need to go if you’re downtown!

Stopped in for a latte and quick bite on the weekend and I wasn't overly impressed. Service was not very friendly.

I noticed they didn't do any latte art (which I secretly look forward to). The latte was alright tasting though. Had the egg wrap and it was flavorless (to me). Admittedly, I am not well versed in Mediterranean food and middle-Eastern food and that is what they serve. What I ate could have been perfect to another palate. Based on all the great reviews, maybe this one was just a miss for me personally.

The store is absolutely beautiful though!
Somebody there must also have a sense of humor based on a couple bags I spied on the counter. Picture to accompany. :D

Great little coffee shop! A little pricey ($11 for two coffees) but well worth it if you like REAL coffee. Great vibe inside, and seating area outside if you have pups like I do.
Staff was friendly, and they had a good menu. Love it

I ordered the Gyro Deluxe Sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious! I was looking everywhere in Columbia to try to find the best Gyro, and this is it. There was plenty of sauce, and the lamb was tender and flavorful. I also ordered humus and pita on the side, it was so refreshing and delightful. What a great overall experience.

Three of my friends and I stopped in here for food and coffee. They had good looking food and a ton of flavors for their lattes, so we were excited. We were waiting in line and my friend picked up this granola bar thing at the counter and was looking at it, and the guy behind the counter snapped at her and said “please stop touching things.” ??? So rude, she was literally going to buy it. Even though the guy was extremely rude for no reason, I still decided to order a caramel iced latte. It was disgusting, 0/10 and made my stomach hurt. Won’t be going back.

I love coffee zone. Their gyros are great and they have my favorite cold brew in Columbia. I like sugar free syrups, and if you were wondering, starbucks has maybe...two kinds? Coffee zone has SO MANY. It's the same employees every time so I think one or both might be the owners, but they're super friendly. I've had the gyro, hummus, cookies, salad, falafel, scones, rugalach, cinnamon rolls, coffee - it's all delicious.

There is such a great atmosphere here! The coffee is great (they have a ton of different options), they have a wide selection of teas and pastries! They even serve breakfast and lunch! Bathroom and dining areas are always clean. I will say, they don't have a lot of bigger tables to spread out while doing homework, but that can be taken care of by pulling a couple tables together. I have also yet to have an issue with a single employee. They are always super friendly, and from watching their interactions with other customers, seem to get to know their regular customers very well. Overall, a pretty good place to grab a cup of coffee/tea and a pastry while getting some work done! (One star taken off for lack of table space since I am here usually doing homework and need the space).

I absolutely love this place! It was my first time there and I had the deluxe gyro and tried baklava for the first time. All if the food was delicious and shop gave a cozy vibe. I will definitely be going back!
