Curiosity Coffee Bar

Curiosity Coffee is one of my all-time favorite coffee shops in Columbia. I love the rotating seasonal drinks, the tasty food offerings, and especially the baked goods! The creativity of some drinks are unlike anything else I've seen which makes Curiosity a top choice for me every time. The bakers are constantly churning out new and inventive treats and so many of my favorites are vegan even though I'm not! The team is always so courteous and quick to help, and it feels like there's always cool events to attend there. I'm constantly recommending this place to anyone I know, and this review was way overdue. All my foodies and coffee lovers, give it a shot and see for yourself!

Stumbled on this place after not paying attention to Waze and went the wrong way. Great locals place to go. Coffee and food are amazing. Avocado toast, super fresh and flavorful. Staff are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Coffee in a mug is the only way to truly appreciate the taste.

Stopped here for a little pick me up. Had a lovely iced mocha with hazelnut and whip and a dark chocolate croissant. I recommend getting your pastry warmed as it is quite chewy without it. Waitstaff were speedy and polite. Atmosphere is super cute. They have some take out snack food like overnight oats in a cup, pastries, etc. They also have avocado toast and sandwiches. Was shocked to see they have Mexican hot chocolate syrup available for your coffee. Very clean and lots of tables to sit at. They even have board games to play which can help entertain your littles if they’re tagging along! They also have a range of cold drinks for adults only! Adorable outdoor seating on the patio also. Satisfy your thirst and curiosity and stop in this hidden gem and treat yourself!

I stumbled upon the charming spot today! It has such a classic ambiance, perfect for any time of day. ☕️ I enjoyed a lovely morning coffee, and I can already imagine returning for a refreshing afternoon beer. This place truly feels like a gem, ideal for savoring delicious food and drinks. It's definitely become one of my favorite spots to unwind and enjoy a good meal and beverage.

I came here for the first time today, and first noticed the haiku wall outside! It’s gorgeous! I need to write one before I leave!! I walk in, and didn’t know what to try on the menu! I asked Liz, the barista on duty, what I should get. She made me a pumpkin spice latte with a different syrup added in. It’s the perfect fall drink. Liz was so kind and even added a little latte art heart in my cup. Look at it!!! Omg! 5 stars! Will be bringing my husband back! I’m bummed I didn’t find out about this place sooner, as we’re moving soon. Perfect place for college kids to come hang out and get group work done, or for friends to come chill. Love it!
