Curiosity Coffee Bar

New favorite coffee place. Such a great feel. Kind staff and both the interior and exterior have such a warm vibe.

Bacon Egg & Cheese bagel was solid. Iced Baklava latte w/ oatmilk good as well, although one of the syrups had a quite strong (odd?) flavor. “Strawberry Fields Forever” matcha also good/unique.

Legit coffee shop in hip Cotton Town. Lots of positive energy and quality food and drinks. Great place to hang out and meet new friends. Is it better than Indah? Both deserve your business. Share the 💕😘

Awesome coffee shop with great ambiance. Very lovely space to meet up with a friend for brunch or to work remote. Lots of merch, flavored lattes, breakfast sandwiches, and more. Can’t wait to return! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and staff was lovely.

Curiosity Coffee bar is one of my favorite spots in town. They offer a variety of delicious beverages and food options. A few of my favorites include any sandwich, the bagels, strawberry matcha, and grab and go wraps! In addition to the beverages and food being delicious, the atmosphere is welcoming of all people. I love the big comfy couch and sitting on the new patio.

They also have a variety of events, food trucks, and gatherings throughout the week. There really is something for everyone at Curiosity.

Go check them out!

Cool dog friendly coffee bar! They have a nice selection of drinks including lots of coffee and beer options. Fun selection of local items to buy. They're pet friendly and use reusable cups for eating in the bar.

I drove through Columbia and found this shop as a stop not far off our route. We pre-ordered online and within the 8 minutes it took for us to get there, the order was hot and ready to go! My husband ordered an Americano and an egg, bacon, and cheese bagel sandwich on Asiago. I ordered a beet root latte and a bacon, egg, and cheese on everything bagel. We also ordered a masalatte to try. Both breakfast sandwiches were absolutely delightful.

If I had to pick, I’d say order the breakfast sandwich on Asiago. The everything bagel was awesome, but Asiago had the edge. The Americano was excellent. The beet root latte was earthy and the masalatte was a unique and fun Indian infused flavor on a latte.

We’re saving this as a spot on our next road trip. The service was quick and friendly and the cafe had a great vibe - pinball machine, holiday music, and cool gifts. They also have an outdoor area and are dog friendly!

Delicious vegan sausage and chz sandwich (extra toasted)! I added avocado and tomato to it, also made sure to add pepper and salt to it 👌I also ordered the costa rican coffee 🤗

If you’re looking for the best tasting coffee in Columbia this is it. The quality of their beans is impeccable and as a result their drinks are as well! Service and atmosphere are a 10/10. They are very kind and welcoming to anyone and everyone. This is now the only place I’ll get my coffee in Columbia and if I have to get it elsewhere I find myself missing curiosity blends every single time!

Slowly becoming a regular here because they have DELICIOUS vegan baked goods and options. I like the vibe, the bathroom is clean, and sitting outside is nice because it's covered. Parking lot is a bit small, but there is parking closeby. They make funny Instagram posts too and always keep it updated with the daily offerings! Would love to see a Soy milk option personally <3

Charming neighborhood spot offering coffee, espresso drinks, beer, wine, pastries, eclectic gifts like magnets and mugs, and hot food. Lots of vegan options as well as meaty and ovo/lacto options. They emphasize single origin coffees and the quality of their drinks is excellent.

As we made our way out of SC on our way back to PA, we made a stop at Curiosity and our group of 7 were thoroughly pleased.

The atmosphere was otherworldly! They had a table made out of a pinball machine and eclectic merchandise and collaging materials that were pleasantly unexpected.

Besides the atmosphere, the coffee was fresh and the sandwiches were juicy and tender (I got the impossible sausage bfast sandwich). It is a great place to go for a quick or long bite!

They spelled Chelsea’s name right and food maker put smiles on everyone’s bag! 🙂🙏

Stopped by on a coffee break during a road trip and was pleasantly surprised by this neighborhood gem!!

The staff was so kind and friendly and I loved how many vegan options were on the menu. I got a bagel sandwich, chocolate chip muffin, and oat milk matcha latte.

Would definitely come back!

I can rate the drinks and the specialty flavors are super creative and delish. The baklava latte I had was the best thing I’ve tasted in a very long time and the beetish latte was super especially for those who don’t want sweet.

Talk about good coffee, wonderful ambiance, a delightful staff, and terrific music (I don't think I've heard the Twin Peaks theme play over loudspeakers at any other time in my life #magicalexperience). A new favorite for sure. Love me that cozy couch, and ten stars for being dog friendly. Bruiser sends his love.
No rating on the food because I haven't tried it :)

Delicious non standard coffee fare. Spicy and sweet choices. Tried a new to me hot coffee, who knew banana flavor would taste this phenomenal in a roast bean drink. 😋

Great atmosphere. Greater coffee! I’ve only been in the area for a month but I’ve tried about 5 other coffee shops and none of them compare. If you want yummy tasting, quality coffee made by a skilled barista, this is your place! Kind staff goes a long way too! I got the baklava latte (SO GOOD) I drank it way too fast!

Not your typical coffee shop. This really DOES have a BAR! They have all sorts of beers and wines. The eclectic atmosphere compliments their stage where bands and special events are hosted {see their Facebook page).

I had the Mexican coffee and boy it has a slight kick to it, but it's goooood.

My daughter had a Ham, Cheddar and Cream Cheese Bagel Bomb and it was DELICIOUS. She said her Chamomile tea hit all the right spots.

My Wife had a Peppermint Tea and Ham and Chedder Quiche that cute and tasted amazing.

Gonna need to come back here.

I can't say enough good things about Sandra and Greg, and the whole Curiosity team. I have absolutely loved having them in the neighborhood. They are wonderful humans who truly care about the community. Plus they organize great events, they always have amazing vegan options, and they make a great coffee. One of Columbia's best small businesses.

Curiosity Coffee Bar is hands down the best in Columbia! I rarely review a business publicly, but this shop deserves a shout-out. I’ve never had better coffee, but they’ve expanded my palate to my new favorite drink - Strawberry Fields Forever. It’s a strawberry matcha that I get iced with oat milk. It will treat you right, just like the baristas and owners. I also recommend their NY bagels and homemade baked goods. It’s a welcoming environment and their covered patio is a breezy oasis filled with so many beautiful plants!
