More Than Just Coffee

Steps away from the Horseshoe & Statehouse

Cool Beans is an independent, local coffee shop in downtown Columbia, South Carolina. We have been serving our customers with a smile since 1997.

Located right next to the University of South Carolina, we are the perfect spot for a study break, a quick lunch, or a relaxing afternoon with a "Perfect Woman" latte. We pride ourselves on creating a warm, homey feeling where everyone is welcome.
