709 Gervais St, Columbia, SC
Crema's Take
“This beloved Columbia spot has mastered the art of the leisurely morning, where Greg and the team know exactly how to guide you toward almond croissants and grain bowls that justify arriving early. The sunny outdoor patio draws a steady stream of regulars who appreciate that smallSUGAR sources locally, pays living wages, and balances indulgent pastries with genuinely nourishing breakfast and lunch options. It's the kind of place where people genuinely want to linger—and then tell everyone they know about it.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

All around…absolutely amazing for a Sunday brunch choice. My first visit and when I asked Greg(the host) what he would recommend…his recommendation exceeded my expectations🤤—Almond Croissant, sweet potato bowl (with kale, candied sunflower seeds, pickled red onion, ginger…
Had breakfast here the other morning and really enjoyed it! The outdoor patio is lovely and the servers are very nice and helpful. My only thing is that my salads (I took one to go as well) were both a little bit over dressed. That much dressing is really not necessary! Maybe…
The fact that this place doesn’t currently have five stars is a true testament to the cruelness of humanity. Can’t wait to come back and bring everyone I know. There’s something for everyone here, as a health nut who also loves pastries, what more can you ask for? Loved sharing…
We visit often! They locally source most ingredients, pay living wages AND have amazing food. I recommend them often. There are healthy choices in addition to pastries and unique lunch and breakfast items.
