“Bill‘s hazelnut cream coffee beans are the best! We have moved all over Maryland and even to Florida over the past decade, but continue to have him ship us 4 pounds at a time. I’m not sure we’d be able to get up in the morning without it! Wonderfully responsive service.”

“Absolutely delicious food and coffee! Not only that but great prices. It is hard to find an equal for the size of their sandwiches and you will not find a better tasting sandwich in Columbia. Show up early to a visit to the hospital or grab a snack on the way to college. You will not be dissapointed! I forgot they have a baker's worth of bread choices from croissants to my favorite marbled rye 🤤”
— Josh Magone★★★★★
“They make the best fresh roasted beans in the area. I love the flavors. The owner Bill is amazing and friendly. They used to have the occasional live music in the evenings, not sure if they still do that. The atmosphere is great.”
