Indah Coffee

Absolutely love this place! The coffee tastes amazing, and their desserts are just as tempting. My favorite drink has to be the iced dirty chai latte it’s the perfect balance of flavor and spice. They also serve beer on tap, which is such a cool touch. The vibe here is warm, relaxed, and perfect for hanging out or getting some work done. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good coffee.

Indah is more than coffee! It's a relaxing destination with a comfy, cozy, and warm ambiance. There's plenty of seating, with a large room in the back for groups and overflow. And the coffee?! Amazing! The fact that they roast their beans on site (you can actually see into their roasting room!) makes all the difference in its taste, quality, and freshness. With plenty of options to choose from and seasonal specials, you're certain to find your favorite sip of the day. But what really makes Indah special are the people who work there; they are friendly, welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable about coffee. It would be easy to make Indah your neighborhood coffee shop even if you didn't live in the neighborhood.

I ordered a iced matcha latte and a egg/bacon/cheese bagel. The bacon was a bit too salty and the matcha was a little underwhelming but It’s clean here. The employees were friendly and professional. There’s also free wifi and comfortable seating. The music isn’t too loud either. Having lived in Korea for years, and countless cafe visits, i would recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet place to do their assignments or just a cup of coffee.

Indah Coffee was an incredibly welcome surprise and delightful experience. The establishment was well kept, organized, and clean. The drinks were very good and appropriate for the cost. I highly recommend you check out this comfortable coffee company when you have the chance.

I'm always on the lookout for a great local coffee shop. This is located in a quasi industrial area. Great variety and unique menu along with being packed with locals assured me I picked the best place. I got the peachy keen latte and strawberry bruschetta. And yes, the latte tastes like peach cobbler.

I’ve been to Indah before and really love the vibe — it’s cozy, welcoming, and has great seating options. The atmosphere is always inviting, and the employees are so kind and friendly. Today I ordered the Nana’s pecan latte, which sounded amazing from the description, especially with the candied pecans on top. I was expecting a flavorful, sweet pecan drink, but what I received looked more like a plain cup of milk. When I asked about it to confirm if this was the right one, the barista explained they had run out of the candied pecans. I mentioned I wished I’d known beforehand, since that was what made me choose the drink — I would’ve picked something simpler that I already know is great. The coffee itself was still good, and I’ll definitely be back because I really do enjoy this place. I was just a little disappointed that no one mentioned they were out of the key ingredient for the drink I ordered. I’m glad I got the cinnamon roll croissant. Delicious!

Indah is the perfect place to study or meet a friend for coffee. The lighting inside is comfortable and dim. There are large windows and plants. The baistas are all very friendly and nice. Their coffee NEVER disappoints. Cold brew with cold foam is my favorite 😍

I recently visited Indah Coffee in Columbia, and it was nothing short of a beautiful experience. From the moment I stepped into the modern, spacious, and quiet atmosphere, I felt an immediate sense of calm and comfort. The minimalist yet inviting decor made it the perfect spot to relax, focus, or simply enjoy a good cup of coffee. The offerings were well-curated, and the prices were surprisingly fair for the high-quality experience provided. Whether you’re a coffee aficionado or just someone who appreciates a good drink, their menu had something for everyone without being overwhelming. What truly stood out were the baristas. They greeted me with genuine smiles and warmth, radiating a sense of happiness that felt rare and refreshing. It was clear they took pride in what they did, which only added to the charm of the place. If there’s one coffee shop that’s truly doing it right in Columbia, it’s Indah Coffee. Everything about it — from the ambiance to the service to the coffee itself — made for an exceptional visit. I’ll definitely be back.

I remember when Indah first opened their brick and mortar location years ago, and I'm excited to see they are still booming! My husband and I recently met up with a friend at Indah, which is the first time I've visited since leaving Cola in 2019. There were quite a few people inside at 9am on a Sunday! I can see why because the drinks, and treats, were great! I think I got a lavender latte and my husband and friend each got one of their seasonal fall beverages. Everything was made with love and nothing overpowered the main star of the show: the coffee. I think Columbia has a very nice coffee shop scene and Indah is definitely in the top 5 for me.

Stopped in this morning 6-30-25 after picking up my wife from a 24 hour shift . As we walked in we were kindly greeted by the 2 lovely baristas . They were so friendly and helpful in helping us decide drinks . We ended up getting 3 different kind of drinks . The first drink was a special cold drink that had tahini cold foam , how it work just don't know but man was it good . All the flavors from the date to the tahini were present , smooth yet subtle . Second drink was a hot coconut latte with decaf . Yes you heard it right decaf , arguably the best coconut latte I ever had out of the 34 states I have been to . Third drink was my go to drink a chai . This chai is on the sweet side but has some amazing flavor , you can taste all the spices . I will be back in Columbia in 2 days and already have the next drinks picked out , dirty chai and the tahini cold foam drink but hot . If my future experience is anything like it was today then every time I go to the area or even the zoo I will go out of my way to go here . Great coffee and even better company/friendliness with the baristas

The food is great and so is the coffee! It also has plenty of seating and gives off cozy vibes.

I absolutely love the vibe. Even though it is busy there, there is plenty of seating available. I love how they have outlets by the tables on the booths for the laptops. It was a great space to get some work done and enjoy a beverage. Customer service was pretty good. Parking is available around the building. My beverage choice was jade cloud tea with vanilla and honey per recommendation from the team that was taking my order. It was perfect. It had a hint of citrus with a mellow sweetness from the vanilla and honey. I was glad I forced myself to try something different and discover something new that I actually really liked. I cannot speak enough about how much I loved the atmosphere. I got so much work done. They stay open until 6 pm or 7 pm, which was a huge plus.

Very friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and my husband and I both loved the coffee. He had a black drip coffee, and I had an iced americano with unsweetened coconut milk. Both were very flavorful.

Woman owned? Hand crafted? House-made syrups? Amazing pastries? Chill but vibrant atmosphere? Honestly this place has it all. You can't go wrong with any selection here that you might make. My only problem is that we stopped here on a road trip and can't go back every day.

Indah is the best coffee shop in the Midlands. Their burritos are awesome, and their cortados are delicious! Great friendly service, and a nice atmosphere for study or meetings

The food and coffee are good but I think it's a bit overpriced. Whereas I can get a 16oz latte anywhere else in the area for $5-6, Indah charged me $8. The service was friendly though and it's a cute shop to hang out in. However, since Curiosity coffee bar is right around the corner, I would choose there over Indah in the future. Food is better at curiosity as well.

We visited Indah Coffee on a Thursday morning and found it fairly busy, with many patrons working/studying. The interior had plenty of seating, kind of a rustic vibe, and lots of nice plants. For drinks, I ordered a Thai Iced Coffee. Honestly, it wasn't my favorite and didn't taste like other Thai Iced Coffees I'd tried before. However, my Caprese Avocado Toast was awesome! The tomato, mozzarella, and avocado went together so well, and I loved the balsamic glaze. It was also pretty filling. My boyfriend got a drip coffee and Breakfast Sandwich, and said both were good. Would return to try their fall drinks, which hadn't come out yet!

Came in with my girlfriend for the first time ever while I was in town per a recommendation from a friend . Coffee was really good (got an Ethiopian pour-over) but customer service could have been way better. Manager came to my girlfriend while I was in line getting coffee and said she was "taking up space" as she was finishing a drink we bought from somewhere else (she's not a coffee drinker). He could have handled it better but didn't and that hurt deeply, especially for someone who both works in customer service and was in this establishment for the first time. I will come back but customer service and intentionality needs to improve.

This place confused me as my advance research suggested a food menu in addition to the beverages, but I only saw drinks on offer when I arrived. Needing just a quick stop, however, I sought a hot chocolate with seasonal flavors. It was a little drink with a little price but it hit the spot well enough. The atmospheric garage-like space would be worth checking in to and perhaps checking out some food as well.

This is my favorite place to go and study as a student. The vibes are always great and the service is always reliable! I love the turkey and burrata sandwich also, think about it all the time.

This review is LONG overdue. Indah is the SPOT! the atmosphere is awesome and has the usual coffee house vibes. i love the aesthetic especially the exposed beams on the ceiling. the staff is ALWAYS AMAZING! they provide the best service whether it's their knowledge of the menu or their willingness to create specialty drinks, they're always ready to serve with a smile. i haven't had everything on their menu but their lattes, chais and matcha are second to none. Indah is the spot for it all....whether it's a business meeting, a place to study or get some work done, or a date spot, this place NEVER disappoints.

Came here after a recommendation to try the Honey Bear Latte and the Main Street. Both of these drinks were made with their signature Vanilla Honey homemade syrup (which was delicious!) they should sell it as an item all on its own because I would buy it to have for my coffee at home. My friend loved the Honey Bear Latte and I loved the Main Street flavors, the only bad part is I like a little more coffee with my milk. It came with two shots of expresso and I asked for less milk to be put in but don't think I got that as it was a really light brown color. It would have been perfect with just less milk. However, I understand that many people now love the milky type coffee. They also have a water station and plenty of non-alcoholic and alcoholic can options. The ambiance is nice, they were a bunch of people just sitting down studying, reading and enough space to do so. It was a nice tone and calmness in the coffee shop. I would definitely recommend to others! Go try it out for yourself!

I've liked Indah for several years. They have interesting seasonal drinks, a pretty wide variety of non-coffee/tea items, and a nice atmosphere. I think (like many places) their baristas could be a little friendlier but it's a great shop regardless! I was sad to learn they no longer serve the hot honey bagel because it seems like such a simple dish with just a few ingredients but they still have one of the most unique menus of local coffee shops! Great place to meet a friend or work/study for a while.

Had such a good experience here. My mocha was rich and chocolatey but not overly sweet which I appreciated. The coffee flavor still came through strong and the whipped cream on top was a nice touch. I got a cinnamon roll too and it was soft and gooey, really hit the spot. The staff were patient even though I took forever to decide. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming with comfy chairs and local art on the walls. This might be my new weekend hangout spot.

Awesome coffee. Some of the best I have ever tasted. Will be back. Spend $53 today. 2 cups of coffee, 2 blueberry muffins, 2 bags of Columbia coffee. Well worth it.

First time trying this place. The coffee was good and at a great price. I think their AC was broken or something because it was so hot in there and I was sweating and uncomfortable. They had a fan going in the back but not near where people were sitting. I didn't stay long because of it. I also had planned to do some work there but with the large windows at the front and the bright sun and glares coming in, I was getting a headache. With the way the seating area and order area is all combined into one, this coffee shop is better for a casual hangout instead of a place to get work done and focus.

Indah Coffee is definitely a must go to for coffee for anyone in the area of Columbia, Sc. This location is perfect for anyone looking for a coffee shop with plenty of room to sit down and enjoy your coffee or study, making it the perfect spot for students! My go to order here is typically the pistachio flat white, and one of their amazing sandwiches.

Had two different kinds of toasts: the egg and bacon and the avocado with tomatoes. Both were delicious although less of a meal and more of a snack. Coffee is awesome, truly very very good. The merch is too pricey for my tastes, and the decor is lackluster, but if I lived here I'd be back because the coffee is that good. Baristas must be trained well.

So great coffee at this place. Nice people but the space is bare and clinical. I guess it's fine if you're looking for a place to work but I like my coffee shops with a bit more personality.

Service is generally really good and very helpful and knowledgeable workers. Slim food options- would love to see a few more bakery items. Coffee is creative and flavorful- so lovely!!

Great coffee and service - starting at 6:30am on weekdays! Good atmosphere too. A Columbia mainstay.

Great environment to do work or hangout with friends and play card games. I got the bagel sandwich and it was very yummy. A little greasy but it was really good. I got their seasonal drink raspberry macha and it was delicious.

Sweet place that was in walking distance of the airbnb we were staying at. I got an lavender latte and it was so good, lighly sweet. Good service. A couple of hours later, when my granddaughter wanted one, we stopped by again. The same woman waited on us, and made her drink, but it wasn't as sweet. Bummer. I would come back when I am in the area.

Great Coffee shop to chill ..... Good cookies too !!! Free parking. Outdoor seating out back and in front of store.

First time here. There were so many options I wasn't sure what to try but the guy suggested the Cubano. I got it made with oatmilk. It was a good balance of bold espresso and creaminess from the oatmilk. Although I don't like my coffee too sweet, I wish I'd added some syrup to make it a tad bit sweeter..maybe extra brown sugar. The atmosphere was very cozy. The staff was friendly. This would be a good spot to meet up to a catch up with a friend or to get some work done.

Great vibe! Love that it's tucked into a neighborhood. Not a lot of parking and the seats aren't comfortable.

So good! Anytime we are in Columbia we stop at Indah. Their seasonal lattes are always fun. Last year they had a s'mores latte that was to die for I hope they bring it back!

A really chill coffee place. Enjoyed spending time, reading a book and sipping some great coffee. I had a mint cream cold brew and my wife had a iced chai tea latte. I also had a Cortado. All fantastic. Staff was great. T-shirts are really cool.

Definitely one of the best coffee shops in Columbia! Amazing atmosphere and GREAT SERVICE! The Thai coffee is my absolute favorite!

Best pour over I can remember I knew the next morning that I wouldn't be near this place and I had enough left over in my cup - I was contemplating whether to microwave it the next morning ! That's how good it was

A great way to start your day, with a range of seasonal lattes to a variety of teas including white, black, green, and oolong! If you're a coffee purist and enjoy your unflavored lattes, cortados, and pour over, this is the place. If you're on the sweeter side and enjoy your Starbucks, enjoy their mixed concoctions in latte form - quite the spread for the holidays!

A hidden jewel in Columbia. The Cinnamon Rolls alone make it worth the visit. I loved everything about this coffee spot The atmosphere was free and open. You didn't feel pressured at all. It's a really trendy space and many people are there working, networking and planning. You feel as if you are in an environment of creativity. The service is outstanding. I feel people should try it out. The parking SUCKS but once you find a spot the rest is a piece of cake. I highly recommend a visit, you won't regret it.

Took a spur of the moment trip to South Carolina and stumbled upon this gem. I'm from South Florida. Out of all the coffee spots I've been to (my husband and I go to a lot) this experience was a kind surprise. Nick was incredibly sweet. I was curious about the roasts sold at Indah and he discussed almost every blend to me and the meaning behind the origins. Like WOW. I could tell he knew his coffee and was super passionate about his craft. He went above and beyond. The staff was super sweet. I came home with the Rwanda bean coffee and my husband and I are obsessed. We made espresso with it and it's delicious. The seasonal coffee and my bagel were also a delight. Ask the baristas about their suggestions! They know what they're talking about! Thank you, Indah coffee for being part of my South Carolina experience

Delightful! Someone recommended this place when I was visiting, and I went twice in three days. The lavendar lattee is an utter delight. The atmosphere is chill and relaxing. The snacks are tasty, mostly (I was less impressed with the cinnamon roll). But honestly, that lavendar latte had me coming back, and its tempting to drive a thousand miles to return. Each time that drink lasted like ten minutes before I drank it all :) A great coffee shop!

My favorite local coffee shop! The coffee there is so smooth and tasty, much better than Starbucks. The food is pretty good too.

Indah is my go to coffee shop in Columbia! It's always great! Great coffee. Great food. Great atmosphere. And the employees are all super attentive.

Timely Note: They are offering delivery and pickup currently. On my way out of a quick visit to Columbia back in February, I stopped by here in search of caffeine for the drive (to Charleston). Little did I know I had stumbled upon so much more than a cup of coffee. In this small town, you find a true gem tucked away. I pulled up and questioned, "is this going to be good?" But then I walked through the front door. If you ever want a true gauge of the quality of a coffee shop, it is not in decor or music playing or even if the barista's look "hipster enough". It is about aroma and equipment. If you are smelling anything resembling a burnt scent and/or overwhelming sweet smells (i.e. brown sugar, chocolate) you need to walk away. Also, if there are not at least three visible options for how to order your coffee (i.e. pour over, aeropress, french press, drip), again walk away. This place though, it checked off all the boxes. The aroma was a mix of freshly brewed coffee and a recently pulled espresso shot. I went with my standard for first visits, an Americano, and a honeysuckle latte for my wife. Both of these were 100% on point. The Americano had a smooth yet bold flavor. The latte was sweet, but floral (akin to a gin and latte mix). I wanted to order more, but I was traveling through. The seating appears to be around 30-40 and the demographic that day was young (for me, that means 20-30 years old). It had a relaxing vibe and will definitely be in my must-visit list anytime I am in the area.

I couldn't be a visitor without stopping by an indie coffeeshop. "Indah Coffee" seemed to be a new addition to the strip after the N. Main St. renovation project. I used to live in Columbia, on and off, for seven (7) years. Everytime I came back for visiting my in-laws, relative, and friends, I found some local businesses thriving in the neighborhoods. "Indah Coffee' certainly wasn't disappointing! The Americano and Cubano were very delightful. They were also able to accomodate hubby's special drink request, London fog, and made it excellently! We came in twice and had our coffee to go both days. If we were to sit down and enjoy our coffee with leisure, we would like the in-house atmosphere as well. Parking was super easy. They had their own lot yet free street parking was plenty. I'm from Chicago, and finding a parking spot can be a major hassle. Anyway, this is a completely different town that I am talking about! "Indah Coffee"- we will make it back here when we get a chance.

Good place. Nice atmosphere but the customer service was bad like on a Scale of 1-10 I say a 2 and that's not even the problem I have with the place. I had the Thai coffee and they were using soy milk when they were supposed to use sweetened condensed coconut milk.

A friend suggested this place. I arrived and was greeted by a bubbly barista. I choose the chai latte. It's soooooo good! I recommend trying it. I almost went back for a second latte and would have if my day wasn't so busy

Indah Coffee is my favorite coffee shop of all time. I've visited every coffee shop in Columbia and can easily say that Indah makes the best iced vanilla oat latte! On top of that, the baristas are incredibly friendly, especially Marcus. He's my fave. He's super upbeat, positive and has the biggest smile! He's an excellent conversationalist and always brightens my mood. Besides amazing coffee and customer service, Indah is also the perfect study spot - lovely ambience, free Wi-fi, plenty of seating, great music, and food (and booze) options. Thanks for being consistently amazing, Indah! We're lucky to have you in town.

First visit here and meeting a friend for business. Location is not busy and parking is minimal and may have to walk a bit. But it's worth it. Friendly service, great coffee and clean open dining area. Definitely a good spot to meet up or for a solo spell on the laptop.

Great brew, visited from out of town for the day, always trying out the local and this place did not disappoint. I'm a black coffee guru and the home brew which was a mix of Peru and Mexican was smooth yet bold. 5 stars!!

I really enjoyed visiting this coffee house while I was living in Columbia for a couple months. I love that they have seasonal coffees! I ordered the S'More's latte and I was completely delighted that the coffee was accompanied by an actual s'more! The barista was very kind and conversant. Clearly, it's a popular place... it was packed the day that I visited and whenever I was in the area, the parking lot was pretty full. There is plenty of street parking as well though. Customers seemed relaxed and happy even though it was pouring rain outside!

Served me nitro cold brew with ice. Maybe this is what's considered nitro in SC but elsewhere its very consistently not served with ice and it's actually cascading. This was really just plain cold brew. Tasted fine, but it wasn't at all what I was expecting.

WARNING: EXTREMELY STRONG AND CAFFEINATED! Got a cold brew at the Soda City Farmers Market. It was tasty but incredibly strong - not for the faint of heart. I could feel the caffeine buzzing through my veins. Should probably not drink it on an empty stomach either!

It was my first time in there and I was a little confused. The pecan praline pie with roasted candied pecans was not pie. They do have pastries, but not in the afternoon when I went. I felt a little in the way and it wasn't very warm. Maybe next time I try it? The coffee was fine.
