It was a little hideaway spot. Very very cozy and they even have outdoor seating. There was one barista who was very helpful. I can't say no to a delicious ube latte (the best one I've ever had) I also ordered some sweet treats. I'm not a fan of salt over chocolate chip cookies but this was tolerable. I shared with my friend. I also got the brownie s'mores cookie which was more of a brownie than cookie and not too sweet. I wanted to try more but I was headed to thanksgiving dinner read more

Bright my bestie here to try because this is my favorite little cafe and I got the red bean latte. It was so good ! Lightly sweet and nutty and paired perfectly with the coffee. To me it was a 10/10. I also got the ube white chocolate brownie because I always get the ube cookie, and it was so good. It wasn't too sweet which is always a compliment, thick, moist and can definitely taste the ube. I think I prefer that to the cookie ! read more

Okay, if I can rate this 10 stars I would. I came here twice in 2 days. This place is a cute little shop in front of a Korean bbq restaurant. The service was great! I messaged the business 2x in a row because I kept forgetting to ask for my itemized receipt. The staff are so nice messaging me back and are able to send that receipt over to me. The matcha latte was soooo good and today I tried to hojicha! The hojicha is probably better than the matcha in my opinion but that's because I like hojichas more. They have really unique takes on pastries such as ube crepe, ube crinkle cookies, toasted marshmallow cookies, crème brûlée, etc. If you're ever in this city, I recommend hitting this place up! read more

Nibl Dessert and Cafe - Finished hojicha and creme brûlée - Desserts Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

This business is embedded next to a Korean Barbecue, but has a separate menu and I think deserves its own review. One can look through the window at the dessert spread, and the drink menu is intriguing as well. I was a bit disappointed that some of their items were low on stock, but was nonetheless tempted by a tiramisu crepe cake. It was quite expensive; don't get me wrong, I eat premium desserts and if I'm going to take on the calories I think it's actually better to pay more for quality so I'll eat less. Still, even compared to when I've had crepe cake at a fancy urban Asian dessert place, it hasn't been $13.00 a slice. Don't get me wrong, it was a splendidly delicate texture and a very nice dessert. My matcha with strawberry confit likewise had a pleasing appearance. The flavor was solid; not quite the strongest strawberry matcha I've ever had, but in a Columbia food scene that isn't exactly overflowing with premium desserts, this is a place worth checking out. read more

Located inside MOA was this cute little gem. Some many tasty looking dessert. I picked the Thai tea Panna cotta which was smooth and creamy with the right amount of Thai tea flavor. I also tried the banana pudding with Walnuts. I love the addition of nuts to one of my favorite desserts. It wasn't too sweet but satisfied that craving. They were very thoughtful and place plastic spoons so I could eat them immediately. Desserts are a bit pricey but they come in the cutest jars that I plan to use for other things read more

Nibl Dessert and Cafe - Dessert cabinet - Desserts Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

The worst customer service I've seen. We arrived at KOA, which has the dessert cafe inside after eating at a different restaurant to check out some of the desserts that were on the menu. We ordered $50 worth of desserts and were told seating was only outside or at the bar. Most of the bar was filled with seating, so my mother who's older asked if it were possible that we sit in a booth for a few minutes to eat the desserts and then move on. We were told that it would be OK so we found a booth and sat down. Five seconds later a hostess came up to say that we had to vacate the table as a table was for dining in people only. I advised her we were told we could sit and that we were actually dining in on the multiple desserts that we ordered And asked if she needed to check with someone. She said she checked with someone, the maître D or owner, who is an older Asian gentleman said that we could sit at the bar or stay outside, but we could not sit at the booth where it was warmer and they had ample EMPTY seating. We canceled the order with the exception of the ice cream for my toddler and left. The restaurant was nowhere near full, they had plenty of seating for us to sit at a table. I think a sign denoting what seating looks like for the restaurant and dessert/bakery would help diners know where they stood. I'm still confused about the whole exchange as I don't know how a sitting at the table to enjoy the desserts negatively affected anything. Will I go back? I don't think I would. read more

Never disappointed when I stop at Nibl for a dessert or latte especially because their ube flavor in anything on the menu is so authentic and delicious. Stopped to try the Ube Brownie that I'd been eyeing everytime I came in and it did not disappoint. You can really taste the rich flavors and it was so moist, easily might be one of my favorite desserts ever. Can't wait to get my hands on another one of these. read more

Nibl Dessert and Cafe - Ube Chocolate Brownie - Desserts Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Tried the ube crepes, goat cheese cheesecake and ube brownie. All of them are soooo good! The crepes and brownie aren't very sweet - which is what I like. Brownie has the creamy texture and natural sweet from ube, amazing! Cheesecake is delicious as well, more like asian style, not the NY cheesecake style, a little bit savory taste but overall very good read more

The owner and staff are the best! Nibl is located inside of MOA, and is a in cute and cozy corner of the restaurant. Desserts are all made in house and are high quality. Really unique flavors, many are Asian-inspired. The butterscotch cold brew is tasty and will keep you awake for days. Ube coffee is also really unique, yet approachable. Has a patio that is great for studying and people watching. read more

Went here by chance. Best pastries and specialty teas you will ever have. And the service was amazing!

Coffee is very good and employees are very very nice. However I've gotten several food items and while the ube butter cake was one of the best things I've had in my life, the ube brownie and tiramisu crepe cake were both stale. It's a shame because they both had a good taste, they were just not great texturally. This was fatal to the crepe cake as it's supposed to be a pretty soft dish. Also it was $13 and for that price I would think it would be fresh. All in all I highly suggest the coffee as it's consistently delicious but suggest steering away from pastries unless there's something you specifically want read more
