Coffee Shop No. 422 Acola Coffee Company Columbia, MO September 27, 2024 On this busy day I had a 90 minute time frame to visit a coffee shop in Columbia, MO. I had to be particular about the coffee shop I chose because I only had time to visit one shop. This was a very difficult task because there are so MANY coffee shops with high ratings in Columbia. I narrowed my decision down to who I thought had the most plants in their shop. I like plants a LOT, but just not as much as cortados. Acola Coffee Company is delightfully beautiful. The wood trimmings, accents, the greenery, the natural light and large black framed windows bring a sense of peacefulness to a very busy cafe. Columbia is a college town so Acola was packed with students; some studying solo, others in a group and many just chilling. The environment Acola created is perfect for just about any task. Their cortado was delicious! And yes, I was definitely the old lady in the cafe.

Walking in, I'm new to the area so tried to figure out how to get in lol. There was no wrong way to get in, you just keep goin till you find the counter. We parked in the back so yea. Small section to wait in line while you're waiting to order. There are little menu cards you can look at while waiting to put in your order. It was very busy when we went. Coffee was ok. Lounge areas are very cute though !!! I think it is a very cute place to get some work done or just to chat and hangout at. I'm not sure if it's somewhere I'd eat since i love meaty stuff hahaha. Just coffee and lunch snack or dessert. Cute place overall. That little balcony is so adorable ! It was well put together as far as decorations go too. Love all the flowers at the entrance! We walked out the front at the end lol. It's beautiful. Must go see !

A charming coffee shop with an abundance of seating environments - and LOTS of plants! I came here to grab coffee with a friend and was shocked at how many different spaces there were throughout. It was beautiful outside, so there were lots of folks upstairs outside, but there were also quiet, bright, light-filled nooks for studying or reading. As we explored, it felt like there were more areas around every corner. And there was beautiful greenery everywhere. It was beautiful and inviting, no matter where you went, and I appreciated all the different seating options for different size groups and different goals. We did not get food, but I saw several delicious-looking platters as we walked around, and I enjoyed my tea (and my friend enjoyed his coffee). I would definitely recommend this spot!

No other way to describe it than amazing, the baristas are always friendly and the drinks are so comfy they make you feel right at home. The cozy atmosphere is like no other, with so much space it’s easy to get lost in your work or a conversation!

This is by far the best place to get amazing coffee, espresso drinks, and food. Their cappuccinos and lattes are as good as any I have had in Europe, New York, or Portland. They are really good. If you are expecting your latte to be made with cheap coffee beans and milk that has been steamed way too long, then go somewhere else. If you want to experience what these drinks should really taste like, then go to Acola. Their food is amazing too. The people who work at Acola are always professional, polite and helpful.

First time here and it lived up to the hype! It's been a long time since I've gotten a cappuccino with a design and I was really surprised! They have three stories inside and outdoors, LOTS of seating which is good since theyre so popular. Cappuccino was great, The Supernova crepe was really good. The crepe itself had a soft and enjoyable texture, and the whipped feta was a great addition.

This place is amazing! Walked in and the atmosphere was incredible. They have plants everywhere, plenty of seating options, a rooftop with great views. The service was amazing! The gentleman taking our order was very personable and fun to talk with. I ordered their pumpkin spice latte....that was the BEST I’ve ever had. They make their syrup from scratch and you can really taste the pumpkin. Their salted chocolate chip cookie was amazing and the pumpkin crepe is a must! The filling was full of flavor and a crumble offering a slight crunch.
