Hubby got the biscuit with the sweet jam, very yummy. I got the smoothed salmon, I liked the dill sauce, but it slightly overpowered the other flavors. But, still delicious and a good portion.

Connected conveniently to the entrance of The Factory; The August Sage Cafe sets the brunch bar high in Columbia. * The decor is modern, laid back, and inviting. * The staff was very kind, warm and a pleasure to interact with. * My honey cinnamon latte was hot, well crafted, and a nice balance of bitter and sweet. * The breakfast taco was a fantastic blend of flavors and presentation-- definitely was worthy of sharing on socials. I'll be honest, I was so in the moment and enjoying my time that I forgot to snap pics of everything. I guess you will just have to take my word for it and go experience this great find for yourself. Rest assured, you are in for a treat. Add this to your list of local business to support and frequent. It has definitely been added to mine.

I can't believe I overlooked Tennessee Coffee & Smoothie Co. despite driving by it daily for three…read moreyears on my way to the dealership! As a coffee enthusiast who prides himself on knowing every local spot, this gem slipped under my radar until recently. I noticed the bustling activity while pulling into a nearby parking lot for another errand, and curiosity got the better of me. Even though I'd already brewed my own coffee, their website and social media caught my eye with their use of premium Torani syrups--a rarity among coffee shops and a nod to quality I appreciate as a former coffee business owner. I ordered a Hot Raspberry Mocha (what I used to call a 'Mochaberry Heat' at my own espresso bars), and it was crafted flawlessly. The service was friendly and top-notch, too! This place is now firmly on my list for a quick coffee or smoothie fix.

I came to The Loco Lemon's little pop-up event today in Fountain Valley & I'm soo happy I did…read more First of all, the people who work so hard to run this are the sweetest & care so much about their community. I saw a line right when I got there that kept growing! I had the chance to speak to the woman who handed me my lemonade & she let me know that it was her daughter's business. I think it's very admirable to be starting a business & pursuing all of the work it takes at such a young age. This place will go far!! I had the Wildberry Lemonade in a large. Two prices: small at $3, large at $5 (super affordable). It was yummy!! I have a bit of a sweet tooth so I think a little more sugar would've made it perfect. I can't wait until they open up a brick & mortar shop in Fountain Valley. I have been looking for a good lemonade spot in OC & I'm happy to see this small business growing. Tip: They also offer pre-orders over the phone for pick-up at a later date during the week. Their flavors should be posted on their Instagram. Also, they currently take cash & venmo!! That made the transaction a lot easier for me. Love this spot & I hope they have more pop-ups soon!!

The staff greeted us warmly and the cozy restaurant makes you feel right at home. Their biscuits are small but tasty, especially when accompanied by their jams and gravies. I love their Sawmill gravy and I'd strongly recommend you add the hashbrown casserole to any breakfast you order. The coffee was fresh and my eggs were cooked perfectly. I look forward to returning!

Love the twisted break fireplace in the middle of the room when you walk inside. We were asked to sit anywhere we liked, greeted quickly and our food came quickly as well. A nice basket of biscuits came and we dove right in with the complimentary and delicious peach and strawberry preserves- both were so good. Our sausage and eggs came with choice of gravy and we bit went with sawmill, then out our sausage patties on the biscuits we still had and voila! Perfection! The staff were friendly and we enjoyed looking at the Bon Aqua and restaurant history via photos placed in the hallways . Very interesting. Men's and women's restrooms were clean, ample parking and a good all around stop!

I LOVE a good bakery and I am kinda spoiled by over 30 years in San Francisco, where there is a great one every few blocks.

And honestly I know we got like 4 things for 4 of us to take home and snack on for the next day or so, but I don;t recall all the things we got EXCEPT for the white almond frosted cake(slice, but in a round shape). Everyone agree it was the one to beat, and not to take the crown, but it was the one that I chose. This reminds me that I need to find all the bakeries near me now that do "cake tasting" boxes and just treat myself every once in a while!!
