Cool Beans Coffee Co

Cool Beans is an independent coffee shop in downtown Columbia, SC. It’s just next to Carolina’s campus and is a popular spot for students.

In addition to coffee and espresso, Cool Beans offers breakfast and lunch daily. You can get a croissant sandwich, bagel or yogurt for breakfast. And their lunch menu really shines with several sandwiches, paninis and wraps. Try the Mediterranean panini! They also have salad and a daily soup.

Cool Beans has a sister restaurant (College Grounds Cafe) in the same building with a larger food menu. The coffee shop is open all day and the cafe closes at 3pm.
