Higher Grounds

This is a nice spot for a good cuppa and peaceful ambiance with plenty of Christian text/wares around you. The staff is very sweet and will make sure you have a nice experience without being overbearing in the slightest. If you need a quiet place to study though they do play music, so perhaps choose somewhere else.

I love this place. Huge selection of drinks from coffee to smoothies. You name it! Definitely my go to place to feed my Mango Smoothie obsession. They offer supplements too, which is a bonus! They also have food & snack options. It's cozy, and a great place to hang out/work/study. Staff is always very friendly and informative.

Whether you want a quiet place to have some coffee Downtown or wanting to try one of the 125 milkshake variations with a friend. This is by far my favorite place to stop in ! Oh and their bookstore means I never leave empty handed.

Best coffee I’ve had in Columbia by far!!! The staff is super friendly and I love that they have a very generous college student discount. I would 100000% recommend you go!!

Coffee is good and staff is helpful. But this really is not a book store. It’s housed within a functioning church and is limited to one shelf of popular Christian literature.

Great little coffee shop with an awesome selection. Very nice staff and atmosphere.

Best Chicken Salad Ever! I was skeptical at first, when they told me what was in it, but I fell in love with it. Awesome staff members!

I love this place. They have the best selection of smoothies and shakes I've ever seen! They also have the best chicken salad!

Great place for a downtown meeting. Coffee was good, price was right and the WiFi let us work there for two hours instead of in the office.

Great coffee, excellent service! I can't recommend you guys enough!
