Crema's Take
“Lindo Café is a warm, welcoming spot in West Columbia that's become known for inventive signature lattes like their celebrated mazapan and tiramisu drinks, crafted with impressive skill and flavor. The cozy atmosphere—complete with charming jellycat decorations and genuinely friendly staff—makes it a perfect destination whether you're meeting friends or working, and the convenient parking and relaxed vibe offer a refreshing alternative to downtown coffee shops. Pair your expertly-made coffee or matcha with housemade tamales and you've got the kind of place that keeps people coming back across the river.”

this place is the real deal! gets busy so can be a little slow but it's always worth the wait. the mazapan latte is delicious, I don't know how they make it so good. The tamales verdes have perfect maiz and nice spicy flavor, please don't make it less spicy it's sooo good. only wish i got 4 instead of 1, will definitely be back 😋
This cafe is warm and welcoming! My drink was made perfectly and the staff were polite and accommodating. I was visiting for work and will come back if I find myself in Columbia!
got the tira-mi-n-u latte and it might be the best latte I’ve ever had. So delicious and flavor. Will have to come back for more coffee and some food! Loved the atmosphere and all the jellycats!!
Lindo Café is such a great spot right across the river in West Columbia super convenient to Columbia but without the downtown parking headache. Easy in and out, plenty of space, and it feels relaxed the second you walk in. I ordered the Mazapán latte and it was honestly so good. The flavor was balanced nutty, slightly sweet, creamy but not overly sugary like some specialty drinks can be. It really took me back to being a kid eating mazapán. That nostalgic flavor was there, but done in a way that felt elevated. You can tell they care about getting it right. Their specialty menu really pays homage to Mexican culture in a thoughtful way. It doesn’t feel gimmicky. And they have a wide selection of bakery items like conchas, flan, tres leches, muffins. The space itself is roomy with plenty of seating, so it’s easy to meet friends or hang out for a bit. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their drinks. So glad to have this in the area.
Such a cute and cozy place! Everyone is so sweet and was instantly greeted when I entered! I got the strawberry matcha and pork tamale. Matcha was so good and super concentrated—wasn’t too milky at all. Also loved the tamale! Definitely come and give Lindo Cafe a try!!
