"Awesome coffee shop. My coffees tasted great as did the cookie I had. I did not eat lunch, but the food smelled delicious. They also have a local artist who has small pieces for sale for very reasonable prices. Definitely a stop. I will make next time in Columbia."

"Cool Beans is a really "cool" coffee shop, I loved it! It was very old-fashioned, but timeless at the same time. The coffee was really good, and I wish that I wasn't watching my weight because the food items looked absolutely delicious! I'll have to come back and try one some time soon. I wish that I had more to say but there's not much more to add.... 5/5, would recommend, great coffee experience!"

"Nice little coffee shop located in a unique old house. Very good coffee and super good breakfast sandwiches! The bacon egg and cheese on croissant was surprisingly good compared to other coffee places. Americano is solid and the Sticky Bun latte is good for those into flavored drinks."

"Cool beans is a cute coffee shop located in downtown Columbia. They have plenty of parking spots available for customers that are close to the shop and easy to access. The shop is located on the second story of a house (might be difficult to get to if you have a wheelchair or difficulty walking up stairs) and does not have an elevator. Once inside they have chairs and tables set up in different rooms of the house decorated with paintings and art from local artists. The menu offers a variety of options and even includes vegan and vegetarian options. Everything is made to order so there is a little bit of a wait but it’s worth it. The staff are friendly and welcoming and over I was satisfied with my experience."

"Neat aesthetic. Great location. The snack type food we had was great (cinnamon bun, pumpkin bread). The coffees were great and milk alternatives available. Iced tea was great. Music was great with nice atmospheric sound and volume. It's in a cool old house, which is a neat vibe but makes for close quarters. Wasn't super busy when we were there, but I imagine it could be an issue during busy times. Overall great experience and helpful, friendly staff."
