Muletown Coffee Roasters is at the heart of the community on Columbia’s Town Square. Regulars come for the conversations and the Original roast and Woodsmen dark roast coffees. Other delightful crowd-pleasers include the Hardison Mill Honey Latte and blueberry muffins with crumble topping, which are baked fresh every morning. 

Find a state of Zen at Vida Nova Coffee Lounge in the Columbia Arts Building. Wake up with the Wild Child Cortado made with wildflower honey, cinnamon and cayenne pepper, or the lightly sweetened Flower Child vanilla lavender latte. Both are perfectly paired with their baked goods or a deep-dish quiche. 

At Nashville Tea Co. in Columbia, settle into the comfy, modern tea bar and café while sipping on a variety of teas and drinks like the signature Lemongrass Chai Latte. For something delicious and gluten-free, be sure to try the crustless 3 Cheese & Herb or Lorraine quiches. And make sure you save room for the freshly baked scones. 

Maiden and Moon Photo Co.

Get a morning boost at Little Juice Company in Columbia with a Vigilant cold brew coffee smoothie blended with bananas, cacao and almond butter. For a fruitier flavor, the Energize fruit smoothie combines ginger with a medley of whole fruits and veggies. For something to sink your teeth into, try the Cranstachio Bites or a Breakfast Sammie.

Going strong since 2002, Tennessee Coffee & Smoothie Co. is an easy stop on your a.m. trek. At two drive-thru windows at the flagship location off Nashville Highway or the downtown storefront, customers keep coming back for the whole fruit, no-added-sugar smoothies and the icy Coffee Cooler. 

At Towne Coffee’s new location at the convenient Commerce Court in Columbia, pull up a chair or go to the drive-thru window for smooth, organically roasted coffee and made-from-scratch menu options. Breakfast standouts include the quiche of the day, breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwiches cooked on the grill. 

A welcoming space is waiting at Legacy Coffee Co. in north Columbia, known for a focus on community and its small-batch, air-roasted coffee. Guests can linger inside or use the drive-thru window to grab a house-made breakfast burrito with the Hillbilly Hipster latte that blends cinnamon honey and bourbon caramel.

Further north in Spring Hill, visit White Shepherd Coffee. This family enterprise that started with a food truck offers an extensive drink menu with pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Customers crave the White Shepherd namesake latte with white chocolate and almond syrup and the German Shepherd latte that tastes like German chocolate cake in a cup.
