Nibl Dessert and Cafe
1333 Main St, Columbia, SC
Crema's Take
“Nibl Dessert and Cafe is where creative coffee drinks meet genuinely exceptional desserts in a way that keeps locals coming back. Their signature creations like the beloved ube latte and rotating seasonal drinks showcase real care, while their housemade pastries—chocolate chip cookies, brown butter Rice Krispy treats, and crème puffs—are the kind worth saving room to share. It's the rare spot where both the coffee and the pastry case deserve equal attention, and the friendly baristas clearly take pride in getting every detail right, from your matcha's ice ratio to crafting a sparkling Americano that surprises.”

We stopped by for an Ube latte and plain Matcha (light ice). Both were fantastic, the Matcha was “milky”, but that was due to the light ice and the baristas helped add some more in despite us making the mistake. I love coffee and their espresso tastes fantastic, possibly the best I’ve had in Columbia.
Hands down the best desserts around. Nibl Dessert & Café never misses — the chocolate chip cookies and brown butter Rice Krispy treats are unreal, and honestly everything they make is delicious. Their coffee drinks are truly special (the ube latte is a must), not your everyday café menu. I live an hour away and they still go above and beyond every time — offering to set items aside, cutting treats into bite-size pieces so my daughter and I could share, and just being incredibly thoughtful. This place is 100% worth the drive. 💛
Nibl is one of my favorite authentic coffee shops in Columbia! My go to is always an ube latte, but their other drinks are fun and yummy too😩😩 They also have a wide selection of delicious pastries like tiramisu crepe cake, ube cookie and brownie, and puddings!!! You need to check it out if you haven’t already.
Love their brownies and crème puffs. My girlfriend and I get 2-3 to share there and always come home with extras. She’s not big on drinks but kills their seasonal drinks. A new drink every season keeps it interesting. The team has always been helpful cause she can’t make up her mind and ends up getting two for us to share. Love this place!
Friendly staff and excellent coffee and tea. I enjoyed my first sparkling Americano, which was a delightful surprise. Nice selection of dessert items. There is a table outside for seating 4. Inside is shared with a restaurant so indoor seating isn't available.
