Crema's Take
“This beloved Columbia staple feels like stepping into a 1970s dream with its vintage vibes, bar-like atmosphere, and impressively dialed-in pour overs that have launched many a coffee enthusiast's specialty journey. Whether you're settling in with a laptop, meeting friends, or grabbing a carefully crafted specialty drink, the combo of meticulous espresso work, excellent light food, and genuinely warm service keeps people coming back—and the indoor-outdoor seating means there's a perfect spot for whatever kind of visit you're after.”

First time visiting this coffee shop. Its a coffee shop with bar vibes lots of seating indoor and outdoor. I had the Caramel Macchiato with oatmilk and it was excellent.
If you are looking for a great coffee shop with a great vibe and friendly service, this is the place to go. Its so nice and clean with the best music. They have seating indoor and outdoor.
For me this is where my coffee snob journey started. First off the coffee is exceptionally high quality and their pour over recipe is very dialed in and delicious ☕. The food is outstanding, I've had a few sweets and sandwiches from there and it's outclassed a few restaurants every single time. The staff are incredibly friendly and talkative, and the place has a nice feel to it. But in all fairness I do have a couple complaints. The first being that the place is usually pretty loud thanks to the influx of college students, and the vibe that some people give off isn't very friendly or welcoming. It has a very political vibe if you get what I mean. The second thing isn't their fault and infact they work against it, but the parking here sucks A LOT. Other than those two things though this is a wonderful spot to get a great cup of coffee and hang out.
This is such a cool place! When I walked in, I felt like I was transported back in time, and I mean that in the best way possible! The ambiance was straight out of a 1970s or 80s movie, and the staff was very friendly and helpful as well. It wasn't the greatest bagel and coffee I've ever had, but it wasn't very expensive so it doesn't really matter. I would 10/10 recommend Drip Coffee, and I'd like to come back with friends soon!
