Crema's Take
“Plowshares treats coffee as a craft worth slowing down for, with knowledgeable roasting that shows in every pour-over and espresso, and the spacious, thoughtfully designed room—complete with a piano and chessboard—encourages you to linger rather than rush. It's become a genuine community hub near Columbia, drawing regulars who trust the quality and the genuinely kind staff, plus they host live jazz on Sunday afternoons if you want an excuse to stay even longer. The pastries and light food are reliably excellent, though the menu rotates, so you might discover a new favorite focaccia sandwich or might not find it next time.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Parking available.

See all on Google →I LOVE Plowshares. Truly my favorite cafe by Columbia. It is large and spacious with many places to sit and great drinks and food to keep you sustained. I have been going here for over three years, and it is my go to place. I really love their soups which are fresh and rotated.…
Just tried this coffee for the first time, very good! Awesome and such wonderful coffe spot
Amazing coffee, beautiful space, and genuinely kind people. You can taste the care in every cup. Plowshares Coffee Roasters is the kind of place that makes you slow down and enjoy the moment. One of my favorite coffee spots—highly recommend!!
Live jazz Sundays 2pm is great. Good coffee, limited food options sometimes. Last time I came they had a tasty focaccia sandwich, maybe it's new
Good chill music. Ideal atmosphere for those who want to focus and get things done. WiFi, accessible plugs and many tables. There’s a piano and a chessboard. Yummy pretzel and very good pain au chocolate. The coffee was small, but the flavor was great.
