Lakota Coffee Company - Downtown

In Columbia and looking for THE coffee shop? Look no further than Lakota Coffee!
This shop is a staple of Columbia and it’s history. They roast in house (the shop smells sooo good) and have the best selections for espresso/tea drinks. Their sandwiches are great too!
Whether you’re a new customer or a familiar face (people have been going there since they opened!) the awesome staff always seems happy to see you.
While Columbia’s lucky to have plenty of options coffee-wise, there’s no doubt that the best one is Lakota.

Lakota is the best coffee shop in Columbia! The coffee is delicious, and they always have four options brewed for you to pick from so you can be sure there is something you will like. They have a huge selection of espresso drinks as well, so if drip isn’t your thing you will still be sure to find something you will love. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, and since they roast in house it smells amazing. The staff is great, and always make you feel welcome. For sure a must-try if you are in Columbia!!!

Nice coffee. Very friendly staff. Good place to go if you're looking for a coffee bar in Columbia mo.

My husband and I like to come in for coffee, writing and people watching. The staff and clientele are friendly, efficient and interesting. 🙂

Waited 30 minutes for a latte here was a big line i ordered before everyone else and for some reason got my drink last!

Lakota was the first coffee shop I ever went to. 25 years ago. I've been coming everytime I'm in town since then. Now that I live in columbia I'll be stopping by a lot more. Best selection, Best flavors and awesome staff. By far the best coffee shop I've ever been to. Thank you Lakota.

This is the place to go to study, grab a pastry or enjoy the peaceful quiet experience. I enjoyed my time there. The muffins and the tea there was always great to indulge while studying for school. The staff are really friendly and attentive.

I discovered LCC on a visit to family in CoMo. Now I get all of my coffee from them. I look forward to every delivery. They always get me great coffee at great prices.

Went here almost every day while I was a student. You get plenty of room to yourself, it's a big open space without any visual obstructions and well lit... Good all around. I always drank regular coffee and had three different brews to choose from daily, for $2 flat. Is it the best coffee I've ever had? No, but it's better than Starbucks/Kaldi's, and considering it's in Columbia the atmosphere is very relaxed and accepting.

This place is the #1 thing I miss about college. The caramel macchiato puts starbucks to shame. The daily rotation of different coffee blends was always a great way to start a busy day. The food is top tier. Everything about this place is phenomenal.
