Drip Coffee

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place - I have been coming here for years and it never disappoints! I love the people that work here, the clientele, the atmosphere, and of course, the coffee! The food is probably the biggest surprise and best kept secret...it is simple, delicious and different! And, I think the owner, Sean, is special; obviously! He has created a space that allows people from all walks of life and all ages to enjoy in their own way. That takes a special talent. Highly recommend!

Such a cool vibe as soon as you walk in the door, and the staff made me feel so welcome! Popped in on the 2nd day of training for my new job, and Sean not only made me feel welcome, he gave me a high five of encouragement with my loyalty punch card - which I’ll be using every time I’m in Columbia for work now!

The coffee was just okay, but the breakfast sandwiches and the bakery items we had were fantastic! The pork and egg biscuit was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had!

Loved this place in college and it just keeps getting better! Solid gluten free food options as well.

Best place to meet in Columbia. Whether it's for a casual coffee or professional meeting. Drip caters to all. Plus they've got some of the best coffee in town.

A fun place to grab some good coffee. They had some gluten free pastry options that were yummy as well. We would go back here.

Came here early to mid-afternoon and ordered a large cappuccino (which is what I normally order at cafes) with a slice of white cake.

I was really impressed with the aesthetic of the cafe and really enjoyed how wonderful and personable the staff here were. They were super friendly and the cafe felt warm, inviting, and cozy, with a lot of charm and a huge variety of mugs and other neat little items on the wall behind the bar.

The cappuccino itself was a 5 star cappuccino. It really was great, and I highly recommend it. The flavor was smooth and with enough of a robust punch of espresso to really make it a great coffee. It was just very very solid coffee. I will definitely be back for the coffee from this first impression.

On the other hand, I won't be back for the cake, which was just disappointing. The frosting was fluffy, which I know some people like, but it really isn't my thing. I thought it was overly sweet while being too light and not standing out flavor-wise in any way, leaving a very lackluster taste. The cake layers themselves were okay, but nothing special. It was just generic white cake that ended up feeling like nothing special and a bit of a waste of $4.50 (it was kind of a small slice as well...).

Off the strength of the coffee alone this was a 5 star experience, and I'll be back to try even more of the coffees and desserts / pastries here.

2/18/2023 - the atmosphere is good, the coffee is OK, the lady w the glasses didn’t listen to me and answered dismissively. i gave my rewards card away, and i will never return.

I was taken to DRIP COFFEE by a friend, had never been before, and was disappointed with my ☕ coffee, as I found it to be weak, and I am an avid coffee drinker that drinks my coffee black for the rich, full taste. The server, who may have overheard my remark to my friend bc I did not complain, came and asked to replace my coffee. The replacement cup was FABULOUS exactly as I wanted it. I was extremely pleased that DRIP COFFEE not only went the extra mile for a customer but was attentive enough to know that a customer was not satisfied and made it right. I highly recommend this place, the service was excellent and the atmosphere is positively charming. Thank you DRIP COFFEE for your excellent coffee, service, and a most pleasant afternoon.

Great coffee, wonderful food, fun and inclusive space and atmosphere!! But, the Wi-Fi is slow AF, so if you want to work online, good luck..!
