Hendrix The Bus
1920 Blossom St, Columbia, SC
Crema's Take
“Hendrix The Bus transforms a converted school bus into Columbia's most charming coffee destination, where the novelty of the concept is matched only by genuinely excellent espresso-forward drinks like their legendary Grandma's Latte with Mexican chocolate. The intimate, creative space fosters real connections—whether you're meeting friends, bringing out-of-town visitors, or simply settling in for a slow sit—while the owner's genuine care ensures every cup is crafted exactly how you'd love it.”

Coffee on a bus — and it delivers ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the coolest concepts in Columbia — a fully converted bus serving a complete coffee menu, and the drinks actually back it up. Our group covered a lot of ground: cold brew, bourbon latte, matcha latte, and an Americano, and everything landed. The barista was great — clearly passionate about what they’re doing — and the whole experience had an energy to it that’s hard to find at a traditional café. Unique, fun, and worth tracking down wherever they’re parked that day.
Hendrix The Bus is such a unique and welcoming spot! The coffee is consistently excellent—rich, smooth, and crafted with care. The atmosphere is fun and inviting, with the bus itself adding a creative twist that makes every visit memorable. The staff are friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick pick‑me‑up or lingering with friends, Hendrix The Bus delivers a one‑of‑a‑kind experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great coffee and good vibes!
We visit often. They have the best coffee in Columbia, especially love their Espresso. This is where we bring friends and family visiting from out of town. Highly recommend Hendrix The Bus Coffee Shop!
I had one of the best lattes I’ve ever had here, Grandmas latte with Mexican chocolate was incredible and so memorable! The setup is so unique, with the coffee shop inside a bus and cozy seating both inside and outside. On top of that, the owner is genuinely kind and welcoming. Such a fun and delicious spot. I’ll definitely be back!
I love how unique Hendrix’s is! Such a cute idea and the owner made sure I liked my drink before I even paid for it. If you’re looking for somewhere cute for your next coffee stop, this is it!
