They prove you with a high class cup of coffee and the "rebel within" muffin is amazing if you like soft boiled eggs!! It was so good. It is a small inside but they do have some outside seating as well.

Great place to study and solid coffee. I really like how they freeze coffee into cubes so that the ice doesn't water down your iced coffee.

My only complaint is that their freshly made coffee isn't freshly ground, but comes pre ground in a big tub. Ground coffee loses a significant amount of flavor after just 1 hour.

Good simple coffee without all the fluff and sugary additions. They make coffee for people who genuinely like coffee. We love their space, especially for doing group work on weekends. And we appreciate their inclusive environment.

Great coffee, great service. Super chill and down to earth baristas. You can order a chemex or syphon brewed coffee without any of the pretension that usually comes along with it. They do a great cubano and serve yummy locally made donuts. Bonus! They have a super sex-positive bathroom with condoms and tampons and info packs and local health center info. And they're attached to a really unique art shop! Love it here, would be there every day if I lived in the area.

Beautiful hole-in-the-wall type coffee shop that roasts up some of the best coffee in town. They offer a wide variety of brewing methods. A light, medium and dark roast are available as drip. I always make sure to pick up a pound of their Ethiopian beans.

Really like the atmosphere. Cozy and comfy chairs in the back room. My lavender latte was not super hot but good tasting. Would return!

Hands down our favorite coffee shop in town. The coffee is always delicious, the staff and the regulars are welcoming, and the internet is more reliable than at some other places I could mention. Outdoor seating in the summer is plentiful as well.

Best coffee in Columbia! Cool vibe and more ways of brewing coffee than you can count on one hand. Legendary cold brew and they also make this amazing blend called High Fidelity

I've been to fretboard a fair amount, and every time (I swear) the taste, quality of the brew, and friendly yet quick service only improves with each new visit!
I highly recommend trying EVERYTHING on the menu (one per visit of course) until you've tried all the various methods of brewing; and had adequate the time to determine exactly what your favorite is

Some of the best coffee in town, friendly staff and great owners. I love their varieties of tea as well as their freshly roasted beans. It's Columbia's hidden gem.
