    Inside

    Adorable cafe with so much potential! When I first visited As Well As, I was immediately obsessed. The space was shared between a yoga studio, gift shop, and cafe, and the decor was so cute. I loved all the plants, pastel pink furniture and accents, and natural light. The ambiance was very calming - perfect for getting some work done or just chatting with a friend. However, both times I visited, the cafe was out of a portion of their menu. The first time, they weren't able to make Acai Bowls. Instead, I ordered the Iced Rosewood (made as a latte), which was very good. The flavor was like a more interesting Iced Chai, and I enjoyed the pink color. My second visit, they couldn't make any lattes because the espresso machine was broken. Instead, I got an Iced Coffee with lavender syrup and almond milk, which was just okay. However, I was able to try the Protein Acai Bowl this time, which I loved. They were out of blueberries, but all the other toppings went great together, and the base had the perfect level of sweetness. I also appreciated that the bowl itself resembled a coconut. Service was super friendly, but on the slower side, so it's best to visit when you're not in a rush. Overall, a super cute place that just needs a bit more consistency - would return!

    Loved everything about this place. Ordered a simple iced vanilla latte. They make their own syrups which was amazing. Couldn't decide what toast to get so I got the flight with both kinds- both amazing. Sweet & savory. The girls working were nice. It was very quiet inside with plenty of available seating on a Sunday morning! Would definitely recommend and will plan on stopping by again next time in Columbia!

    Smoothie!

    Great smoothie and great coffee! My smoothie was delicious and so was my coffee. Great vibes inside and really nice staff.

    Delicious, premium açaí bowl.

    It felt like they didn't skimp on anything and it was good. Sweet sitting area in the lobby. I will go back more prepared with a book to stay for a bit!

    Beautiful and peaceful environment great for studying. Great prices too for the quality of food & drink

    Best smoothies out there (mama's muffins is my favorite... but you can't go wrong). And they're healthy too (no hidden sugar or syrups). They've got great coffee & espresso drinks, a great atmosphere, and a great community inside.

    This place is super fresh. Clean, bright, chill house beats kicking. Service from Hannah who's outgoing and helpful. I got a mint Açaí bowl with plant based protein. Tasted great! Plenty of lounge chairs and tables if you want to post up and get some work done too.

    Columbia's best-kept coffee and smoothie secret! Coffees are all amazing and the menu has fantastic smoothies/açaí bowls. Everything is fresh, delicious, and nutritious - plus, the staff is incredibly kind and accommodating! The Well Cafe is also an amazing study/work environment with the cutest furniture and decorations. Perfect for Instagram!

    Great little quiet study spot! Very bougie, bright, well-lit feel. Outlets are accessible and chairs are so comfy. I wish they were open longer hours, but I'll gladly come again during the day.

    Peaches, ginger, + greens smoothie & an iced oat milk latte!

    This is my favorite place in Columbia! If you're looking for a welcoming environment with healthy menu items... look no further! This place is super creative and fun. The staff is super nice and personable.

    Rosewood Latte

    I absolutely love this space! It's the perfect place to have your morning coffee or grab a smoothie after class at Studio Fire! The staff is so friendly and always looking to make your day a little brighter!

    This truly is my favorite spot! The best way I can describe As Well As is a reset, a wellness oasis if you will... like the luxury of being able to get your morning matcha/coffee then be able to shop for a new workout set and skin care while waiting for your yoga class to start?? Are you kidding me? Where has this been my whole life! After a killer session with StudioFire it's so nice to just unwind, and get yourself the most delicious smoothie imaginable! (Not to mention the ingredients are so clean and healthy! I'm talking no added sugar's no BS, there is no guilt when ordering your post workout bowl) The space is so comfortable, it's so hard nowadays to find such and inclusive and positive atmosphere where you feel like you can truly talk to anybody. The consistently great vibe here, paired with all the new things they bring into rotation in both the boutique and café, this is my favorite place in Columbia!

    Rosewood latte:)

    Favorite coffee shop in Columbia! The lattes and smoothies are incredible (esp recommend the rosewood latte:) This place is SO cute and everyone is so friendly and welcoming! Highly recommended As Well As as a go to coffee shop

They were all so sweet and really went above and beyond to make sure it was a high-quality experience. I noticed that they openly advertise that they don't accept tips and have slightly higher prices in order to pay their workers a living wage, and the results were directly reflected in the customer service that I received. As for the food and drink (coffee), that was pretty good as well! While I do wish that they might have had bagels, the croissant that I substituted it for was warm, buttery, and tasty, and it was a nice change from my usual coffee shop meal, as I've only had a croissant a handful of times. The coffee was fine, and I loved how they offered free refills, which I've noticed that other local coffee shops usually don't. Finally, I loved the setting of the restaurant, which gave you the opportunity to either sit inside and enjoy the ambiance or on the outside patio and enjoy some peace and quiet. I also loved the artwork that they had on the walls, which the waitress informed me was painted by a local artist and which you could purchase if you wanted to. All-in-all, I loved smallSUGAR, will be back in the future, and would highly recommend stopping in!

    Stopped by smallSUGAR and had a decent overall experience, though a few things held it back…read more The space itself was clean and well-kept, with a modern, minimalist vibe that works well for a casual brunch or coffee stop. Service was fine. Nothing particularly standout, but smooth and efficient. For drinks, the coffee was average. It wasn't bad by any means, just nothing memorable. Especially considering the price point. Food-wise, there were some highlights. The sweet potato bowl was well-dressed and flavorful, though it felt like it was missing a protein component to make it more complete. The shakshuka was very good overall, with great flavor, though it leaned a bit salty. The biggest issue was the bread portion. It simply wasn't enough for the dish. I ended up ordering an extra side, and while it's listed as two slices, it's really just one slice cut in half. At $4 for that portion, that is very unreasonable. That was a recurring theme. Pricing felt high across the board for what you receive. While the flavors were there, nothing really stood out as exceptional enough to justify the cost. Overall, not a bad visit. Just one where the value didn't quite match the experience.
