Blue Flour Bakery

Awesome bakery and coffee shop on Main street. We ordered a breakfast and lunch snack sampler for an early morning client meeting. Since the boxes included a variety of their muffins, bars, and cookies I can say with confidence that everything is delicious. Their portion sizes are comically large, so be prepared to split most items three or four ways. A great souvenir turned out to be their SC state cookie which survived both in a checked and carry on bag.

Tasty treats and cookies. Refill coffee in a quaint lil shop with flair. Polite service. Just a walk from the capital. Clean restrooms.

Great friendly staff. Good coffee, desserts, baked goods, biscuits, etc. Found them when visiting from out of town. Would definitely return!

Delicious pastries and inviting/clean atmosphere. Employees were friendly, patient, and very helpful.

Everything here is amazing! The food is great, the coffee is great, and the service couldn’t be better! I go every single day and get something different from avocado toast, their homemade biscuits, to yogurt parfaits, and even their quiche is amazing! Muffins and cookies and brownies are outstanding, too. Must go!

Amazing coffee. I did not try any of their pastries but they all looked really good too. I ordered the honey vanilla latte and wish I had ordered a bigger size. They had some fun seasonal drinks that sounded great. Great service and nice environment. Would highly recommend visiting and trying a latte.

I work downtown, and this is one of my go to places to meet for coffee. It is generally more quiet inside than many other coffee shops around downtown, so it's a great place to go if you want to study or talk. Their staff is very friendly and give good suggestions if you aren't sure what to order.

I have loved this bakery for years, amazing cookies and muffins. Love the chocolate chip cookies, mini pound cakes, and muffins particularly coffee cake and pumpkin chocolate chip. And the cookies do ship well! Thank you Teri for working with me to ship the cookies to my grandmother in Oregon for her birthday. She loved them. She turned 92 this year and is quite the chocolate connoisseur and she said they were the best chocolate chip cookies she has ever had. That is a very high compliment! When we are able to travel again, she wants to come out and visit your bakery because the cookies were so good.
If you are in the Columbia area or want some delicious cookies shipped I highly recommend them!

Blue Flour Bakery is absolutely my favorite coffee shop in Columbia! The coffee and food are great, and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. This used to be my favorite spot to meet my friends and study when I went to USC, and I can't wait to go visit it again soon!

I work across the street and this morning was the first time I've tried anything. Definitely NOT disappointed. I ordered the Protein Bowl with everything except hummus and black beans. DELICIOUS! I do need to ask if you have the nutritional content on this particular meal, as I am on a strict KETO diet? Would be extremely helfpful, I only ate 1/2 but wanted to finish the entire serving, but did not. Please let me know if you can. Thanks!

Great meeting spot right on Main Street. Quick but tasty breakfast items, (I recommend the egg bake and the protein bowl). Friendly staff! Cookies are amazing - very cute ones for special occasions/holidays.

Fantastic food and coffee drinks, and a great place for breakfast. The protein bowls are delicious and customizable to fit your taste and dietary needs.

The Chai Tea Latte is the best one I've had since moving to Columbia. It's thick, creamy, and has just the right balance of sweet and spice!

The cookies are moist, flavorful and have the perfect sweetness. They are gigantic, but if you are worried about calories or carbs, remember, it's just just one cookie! ;)

They asked if I needed any suggestions right away and recommended the lemon ginger cookie ($4). I normally go for chocolate things, but this cookie did not disappoint and was certainly worth $4! The atmosphere is also great for getting some work done.

Update!!

Blue Flour Bakery
Had to update this post since visiting Blue Flour Bakery. This is my first time here alone since they've taken over this retail space. I had the blueberry muffin and toasted pecan coffee. Everything was delicious and the staff was friendly. I will be back!

First Citizen Cafe
Locally sourced coffee from Turtle Creek Coffee and a decent selection of food. Also offers charging station for your phone and other accessories.

I have found my new favorite place. The cheese biscuit was the best I’ve ever had!! The ginger lemon cookie was amazing, moist , delicious, I can’t stop thinking about it!! The sugar cookies, truly the best I’ve ever had!

Today I stopped by for breakfast and the bacon egg and cheese croissant with fresh fruit and amazing grits! Everyone was really nice from the females at bakery display to the male cook who recommended the grits. If you are near, you to stop by as you will be extremely happy that you did.

Amazing to have another coffee shop with beyond delicious food! Love the atmosphere. Service is above and beyond! The food is soo good. Baked goods. Had the quiche. OMG! Welcome to the neighborhood! Will definitely be back!

Visiting from Utah. Loved this place. Tried house brew drip coffee and a couple of pastries; ginger lemon cookies, coffee cake muffins and rasp thumbprints the best out of 7 or 8 we tried. ( we had a group:) not just me.

The best melty pimento cheese sandwich in Columbia, hands down. It's a rich treat on toasted sourdough with bacon and tomato that you won't soon forget. The cookies are yummy too, especially those ginger-lemon whoppers, but both in the same week will ruin you for skinny jeans by Saturday.

I really wish they’d open a bakery on the Northeast side or stay open till 6:00. Their baked goodies are delicious but the location and hours make it hard for me to stop in as often as I’d like. Nevertheless, when I am downtown I stop in to get the big frosted sugar cookie bc it’s hard to catch the mini frosted cookies in stock.
