What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Lakota south is far more than just a coffee shop. It’s also great place to grab a quick lunch or even meet someone for a happy hour. The food and drinks are reasonably priced and it all taste delicious. The patio is a hidden gem that took me a while to find out about! Its a great place to set up for a couple hours to get some work done on a nice day!"
"Same great coffee as their location downtown, but now South, next to Murry's! It was a great location, just down the street from our hotel so we didn't have to drive far. It opens nice and early at 6am so we were able to grab a cup before heading to our meeting."
"A coffee lovers dream!! There is so much variety on this menu along with alcoholic options as well. If you're a tea drinker, you will similarly find a wide selection to choose from. I got the Matcha latte, and it was the perfect amount of sweetness. When you sign up for the rewards, you also get a complimentary free pastry. I tried the blueberry bagel and it was good. Not amazing, but a decent blueberry bagel. The inside has plenty of seating, although when I went, it was swamped by College students doing homework. So if you're planning on coming here to study or sit down while you drink your drink, I recommend coming early, especially if you come on a weekend like I did! Otherwise there is a bit of seating outside and I was able to easily find a spot. Highly recommend visiting this coffee place while you're in town!"
"Counter person was rude and rolled her eyes at me when I asked for a drink carrier when in the drive thru . I ordered two drinks one with espresso separate and no one else in the vehicle to hold them. They over charged me on my espresso. Then she scoffed at me when I asked her to put it on my rewards . Not my first bad encounter at this location just the first time I have said anything. Hopefully they can pull head from posterior and figure out that without customes they don't have a business"
"Coffee and food and food are consistently delicious, service is always friendly. Occasionally if they're busy in the morning, it takes a while to get through the drive thru, but usually they're very fast and efficient."
"While in Columbia, and needed some coffee and a place to hang out while we waited for our table at the restaurant down the way. My husband and I happened to..."
