I sat in a comfy chair to warm up from the cold outside (even tho i got a cold brew...) for a bit between screenings. Restrooms for paying customers only, and you gotta ask for the code to the door.

Our drinks were perfectly balanced and the microfoam is outstanding - I will never have foam in my latte anywhere else because this place does it right. We came on a slow holiday morning, the barista was super friendly and attentive to everyone who came in while we were there and we enjoyed the conversation with our coffee. The vibe is artsy and eclectic and the atmosphere is welcoming. They're also at the Columbia Farmers Market on Saturdays if you don't get downtown much. If you're looking for something new, the ube syrup is a must-try!

They offered plenty of savory goods as well including bagels. Service was friendly but they did forget my friend's order for a while, when all he ordered was a black coffee. So we had to remind them twice. They have a drive thru which is also convenient. Otherwise plenty of parking in a huge lot. The coffee is good. I got the adult chocolate that was served iced. Too sweet for me but most of their drinks are on the sweeter end. Inside is cozy and has a nice warm setup. Lots of seating.

The drive through attendant wasn't the friendliest person I've encountered - no major issues, but was just straight to the point. The wait between ordering the smoothie and receiving it was a few minutes longer than other drive through coffee shops, but I wasn't in a hurry. Smoothie was pretty good - creamier than comparable coffee shops in KC area. I was a little bummed that they charged 50 cents for water when it was an add-on to a purchase. I know it's just 50 cents, but I wish they would tell you before charging you so it isn't a surprise on your receipt. I'll probably stop here again and try one of their espresso drinks. Looks like a fun spot.

Coming from the Kansas City metro area, my expectations for food are probably a little higher than…read moremost people in Columbia. I went to Sage with two friends and we had to wait a bit to find seating because it was so busy. The restaurant itself is pretty small and tight, so it was definitely on the louder side with everyone sitting close together, but it wasn't unbearable or anything worth complaining about. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant. The croissant itself was buttery and flaky, which I liked, but overall I wasn't very impressed, especially for the price. It just felt like something I could make at home for cheaper and probably better. One of my friends ordered the waffle though and said it was the best waffle he's ever had. He liked it so much that he ordered a second one, so that's definitely a positive.

We ordered a bunch of lattes for the two of us to sustain us through the 600 miles of driving the day would bring. The crew brought them up quickly and cheerfully, making conversation while still getting the assignment done prontissimo. Super cute environment, wood furniture, up cycled old chairs, lush plants and adorable goat themed art. I would go there in a heartbeat just to hang out. If I had one quibble it would be that the lattes didn't have much foam on them. But the quality of the coffee was excellent. They roast in house and they don't use over-dark roasts for their espresso. Well done Toasty Goat!

My husband and I happened to waltz in during their happy hour, and must have got the roasted blend drip that was made hours before, and the most obvious reason they had it at a discount price. It's a hair above office coffee taste, and did the job to get me awake. The space is a bit small, and the customers were quietly studying, but the baristas were a bit too chatty.

Recently I ordered a sandwich and iced coffee via the mobile app at 3:30 pm. Arrived at the store at 3:40 to find a note that said "see barista". After standing in line, I was informed that they were out of lettuce and tomato. After confirming I still wanted the sandwich, they proceeded to take another 20 minutes to make it. I left the store at 4:00, realizing later I never got the side with my sandwich either. Mobile ordering is supposed to cut down on wait time in the actual store :/

Overall, the food came out quickly and was tasty but lacking a little seasoning, the drinks were hot with sweet little notes on them. And the staff was awesome and kind. I would love to see a little pop of color in the building, it felt a little drab - they have lots of space for potential though! We handpicked this place because of the photos of all the windows and natural light and were disappointed to find all the blinds were drawn, so it just felt kind of dark and tight. Some ambiance music would be great too - we noticed there are several musical instruments and a stage so maybe there's live music nights or something similar that I am unaware of? It's a nice place to visit, and I think a few tweaks would really set this place apart!
