Laura’s Tea Room
When only classic high-tea will do, head to Laura’s. Located at 105 N. Palmer St. in nearby Ridgeway. Service runs Tuesday through Saturday, with seating times between 11:00 a.m. to 1:45 p.m., by reservation in the upstairs tearoom.
This delightful experience starts the moment you climb the stairs. Try on one of the vintage hats, then pick out an antique teacup. This age-old custom includes either two or three courses, with an assortment of savories and sweets, plus expertly brewed tea and flavored iced tea.
Loveland Coffee
With a passion for providing Columbia residents with quality coffee and first-rate consumer service, Loveland Coffee brews the perfect cup. Using only the highest quality and the most socially responsible beans available, it roasts single-origin, certified fair trade organic beans in small batches to control the profile of each roast. This process brings out the flavorful nuances of each regional brew.
Why not try the latte con miel with cinnamon and honey or the orange blossom mocha with orange blossom nectar, cardamon, and chocolate? Both are delicious and available through Loveland’s convenient drive-thru kiosk.
Curiosity Coffee Bar
When you’ve got a craving for a cuppa Joe, head over to Curiosity Coffee Bar at 2327 Main St. Get a $3 espresso shot or a Cappuccino for just four bucks. With nearly 20 flavor choices from rum and cardamon to habanero, there’s something to satisfy every picky palate. Pick from cold brew, batch brew, pour-over, or French press.
Why not sample a tomato goat cheese tart while you’re there? It’s a mouthwatering combination of flakey crust, eggs, goat cheese, tomatoes, and Parmesan. Curiosity is open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sundays from 8 pa.m. to 3 p.m.
