Oliver Gospel Roastery
1120 Taylor St, Columbia, SC
Crema's Take
“This roastery in Columbia takes their espresso seriously, with baristas who genuinely care about craft and consistently pull some of the best lattes in the city. Beyond the exceptional coffee, Oliver Gospel has a rustic charm that invites you to linger, and there's something meaningful about knowing every dollar of profit supports ministry work—so your excellent pour over or creative specialty drink comes with real purpose.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. Slow-sit spot. Pastries and light food on the menu.

These guys know what they are doing. Delicious coffee! We like oat milk and I suggest the vanilla shakes espresso and the latte! Every dollar of profit goes to ministry: super cool and delicious!
