The Side Deck Gaming Café - Columbia
406 Huger St, Columbia, SC
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Columbia's gaming scene is a wonderfully spacious café where coffee craftsmanship meets community—think creatively named lattes like the Lavender Vanilla and Earth Bound alongside a genuine commitment to hospitality that regulars rave about. Whether you're settling in with your laptop for hours, learning a new card game, or just craving a strong, well-made cup in a relaxed atmosphere, the genuinely friendly staff (Kevin gets a particular shout-out) make every visit feel like you're in good hands. It's the rare kind of place that balances specialty drinks and gaming culture without sacrificing either.”

Great staff, clean tables with comfortable chairs, awesome to have a new game store. Cafe drinks were great and had fast friendly service. Looking forward to the longer hours in the future!
Literally some of the best costumer service I’ve received anywhere. Kevin is a real one. If you’ve ever considered learning how to play a card game or start a collection, here’s your place.
They are very nice, and the coffee is strong.
Such a great coffee spot! We ordered the Lavender Vanilla Latte and the Earth Bound Latte, and both were so good. The atmosphere is super relaxed, and the staff made the experience even better. They have a great selection of board and card games too, which makes it perfect for hanging out. Definitely recommend checking it out!
Really excited for these guys. Space is huge and the staff are all super friendly
