Higher Grounds

I was new to the area was excited to find this place. Smiles greeted me and a beautiful atmosphere .Terry was super helpful in making me feel welcome! I was very happy that they also partner with Samaritan's Purse and had the shoe boxes ready to go which I needed some to pack for Operation Christmas Child. The internet was reliable for me to sit and do some work.

I like the cozy little coffee shop. Only two downsides the bathroom is not open to the public which doesn't make sense to me because other bathrooms are open in the public can't blame it on covid anymore. It's super chilly in there don't know if it was a one-time occurrence. Still amazing people and atmosphere. Great place to go get a cup of coffee and read a book or sit and work.

Ashleigh is the best server ever!!!!!!!!! Tonight is a rainy night in Chapin, and my family and I came in for some burgers and beer. Ashleigh was so welcoming and warming and she gave us the best recommendations and incredible service. Godspeed Ashleigh.

Cozy study spot well decorated with fancy arm chairs, book shelves, paintings. There were also board games to be played while enjoying a drink. I got a peach and cream milkshake which had a strong fruity flavor and was refreshing given the warm weather today.

Service was wonderful!
Brie and pesto fries were amazing!!! What a great combo, HIGHLY recommend.

This place is perfect. I was immediately greeted by friendly staff members. They made me feel welcome and helped me navigate the menu. The options are endless - wow! A coffee lover’s dream! I got a coffee and a baked good; both were delicious. I enjoyed my treats in a comfy chair while my 6 month old son played comfortably on the floor. Would recommend this place to anyone!

A cozy cafe connected to a church. Short walk away from Prisma Health. The ladies that served me KNEW their coffee. They got great recommendations. They have quick bites prepared: sandwhiches, salads, cracker and veggie cups, etc. Advertised using Boar's Head meats [Good stuff]. If I'm in the area I'm definitely going again.

A great little coffee shop with delightful people running it. It was probably the best cup of coffee I had in town.

Was looking for a place to get some really good coffee…and I found it! The atmosphere is welcoming. I was greeted with a smile. This was my first time visiting this place and I was offered help in making a decision based upon my coffee likes and taste. The selection was a winner! I will definitely be back and I’m looking forward to trying one of their smoothies next!

They are really friendly and cooperative. I also loved the setting of this place. Decorative fresh plants and flowers to make you feel better.
I would recommend to go here and spend a gloomy afternoon drinking tea while enjoying the atmosphere of natural beauty.

The cleanest coffee place I've seen with excellent service, fresh ingredients, and delicious coffee and snacks. Yeah, it is in a church but without searching for literature I wouldn't be able to tell - apart from the location. And even if they worshipped the play dough god of Istanbul I'd still go there for coffee and even ask for a pamphlet for something to read because of all the things I mentioned above.

We took the family Tuesday lunch this past week and the manager Michael took excellent care of us. The flipz were fantastic! A great place to have a midday IPA.

Amazing things are happening here. My smoothie was delicious and they were so accommodating for my Fiancé's allergy when it came to his coffee. 10/10

Great shop for coffee, smoothies, milkshakes, sandwiches, and treats!

This place was the best kept secret from me for a long time but Babyyyy...once I found out about them, it is part of my everyday routine to purchase a smoothie from them!! You are always greeted with a smile and they remember you and what you order. Best Smoothies in town! Great place and GREAT PEOPLE!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Everything I've ever had to eat or drink from here is delicious! Their chicken salad is FABULOUS!!! I thoroughly enjoy looking (and sometimes shopping) through their store.
The ladies that work here are always super friendly and a joy to do business with.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great place for coffee, smoothies and milk shakes. Tons of choices with a great staff who will always greet you with a smile. My family and I have found our weekday dessert. Not open Saturday and limited hours on Sundays. Definitely worth trying for yourself.

I love this place. Huge selection of drinks from coffee to smoothies. You name it! Definitely my go to place to feed my Mango Smoothie obsession. They offer supplements too, which is a bonus! They also have food & snack options. It's cozy, and a great place to hang out/work/study. Staff is always very friendly and informative.

Whether you want a quiet place to have some coffee Downtown or wanting to try one of the 125 milkshake variations with a friend. This is by far my favorite place to stop in ! Oh and their bookstore means I never leave empty handed.

Best coffee I’ve had in Columbia by far!!! The staff is super friendly and I love that they have a very generous college student discount. I would 100000% recommend you go!!

I love this place. They have the best selection of smoothies and shakes I've ever seen! They also have the best chicken salad!
