When I called on the phone Gavin was very helpful and patient as I have dietary restrictions. I ordered a soup that was vegan and gluten free ( Beet, Apple etc) and I ordered what I thought was a nice green salad only to see Parmesan sprinkled all over it even though I was clear that I was gluten free and dairy free. They took out the croutons but not the cheese. Gavin apologized and did a refund but i was surprised that he didn't offer to make things right but offering me something else as it wasn't my mistake and I had to drive all the way back to return the salad to get a refund. I don't blame him at all and I was wondering if this is managements policy ? Again I don't wish to knock Him at all as he was super busy at lunch time and mistakes do happen.

There was an employee going around recording their weights so I'm sure these cats are taken care of very well, she seemed so happy to be doing her job and knew each cat by name. I'm a dog person, but the more time I spend here, the more I can see myself fostering a cat, and maybe one day adopting, who's knows? It's currently 5$ to get into the cat room and you have he option of buying things from the cafe here as well to bring in. I didn't give the complete 5 stars because the bakery isn't very good here, but I promise, just coming to the room is more than enough reason to stop by!

We are cat lovers, so this was a treat to sit and play with all these wonderful kitties, most of whom are up for adoption. It's a good thing I don't live in Columbia, because I wanted to take them all home. They're obviously very well taken care of- there was a young woman there walking around and constantly cleaning up. The litter boxes are behind a door, so there was no gross litterbox smell at all. You can also choose to not enter the cat room and enjoy your food & drink from the cafe area. Our food was just ok, but our drinks were great- especially the hot peach tea. I wouldn't come here just for the cafe experience- the cats are what make it interesting for me.

It's the kind of place that's perfect for grabbing dinner with friends or family and just enjoying some really good food. The wings are absolutely phenomenal. I've tried every flavor they offer, and my two favorites are easily the Buffalo and the Apple Bourbon. The Buffalo has an incredible buffalo flavor without being overly spicy, making it easy to enjoy even if you don't love heat. The Apple Bourbon is the complete opposite in the best way, bringing a subtle sweetness that makes for a great change of pace. The wings are always cooked to perfection with crispy skin and juicy meat, and they have a texture that I just can't seem to replicate at home. They're on the pricier side, but they're absolutely worth it. I've also tried both the Pepperoni Pizza and The Delicious, and both are outstanding. Sometimes a simple pepperoni pizza tells you everything you need to know about a pizza place, and Pappo's nails it. The homemade sauce, quality cheese, perfectly cooked crust, and seasoning all come together to make an exceptional pizza. The Delicious is exactly that, delicious. It's the pie contest winner for a reason. The combination of pesto sauce, shredded mozzarella, provolone, blackened chicken, caramelized onions, and fresh minced garlic creates one of the most flavorful pizzas I've had. Every ingredient tastes fresh, and you can really tell they don't cut corners on quality. I also have to mention the cookies because they are genuinely some of the best I've ever had. The fact that they're made with brown butter immediately sets them apart from your average chocolate chip cookie. They have the perfect outer structure, but the second you bite into one, the warm chocolate just oozes out. The brown butter adds a rich, nutty depth of flavor, and they're finished with just the right amount of flaky sea salt to balance the sweetness. Every bite is a literal party in your mouth. If you leave Pappo's without getting a cookie, you're seriously missing out. While Pappo's is definitely on the pricier side (which is why its 4 and not 5 stars), though I've never once left feeling like I didn't get my money's worth. The consistency, quality, service, and atmosphere keep me coming back, and it's easily one of my favorite pizza spots around.

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.
