Picked up some whole beans to make some cold brew at home. It is delicious. Thanks to Nick for taking time to talk me through the process and give some tips (and samples of a new cold brew). Great local coffee shop!

Nice rustic, industrial decor; good selection of drinks, both, caffeinated and non-caffeinated, the service was good.Additionally, the two study areas separated from the main floor are a very well executed idea.

Well the place was quaint, the greeting was slow to arrive, the coffee was mediocre at best, but the patrons seem to enjoy the atmospheric presence and or company. I give it one thumbs up and half snap..

The coffee here is so good, some of my favorite in Columbia. I had a double shot of espresso over ice and a blueberry scone, both of which were delicious. the vibe here is definitely folks independently working or small groups meeting up. very cute decor and great snacks and coffee!

Incredible coffee and atmosphere, along with very strong pastries. I usually order a cappuccino when I go to cafes, and the cappuccino here was just very pleasant. Also, theres a study area for students - a big plus in a college town.

This place is legit. The coffee items are super delicious! They even have sweet treats. I personally enjoy the iced dirty chai latte. They even have beer on tap! The atmosphere is really nice and laid back. It is decorated with a lot of wood for a real rustic, antique feel. This would be a great spot to meet friends or to get some work done.

One of Cola’s best local coffee shops. I’ve tried several of their coffees and have always loved them. The atmosphere is great for studying or meeting up with friends. Customer service has kind of been a hit or miss for me but it hasn’t completely ruined my experience or anything.

Delicious coffee and small bites in an inviting, rustic atmosphere. Offering a variety of fresh house-roasted coffee is top-notch (step up your coffee game with fresh beans!). Great find.

My favorite neighborhood coffee shop. Great cold brew and cubano. A little less busy than their other location on main street if youre looking for a place to sit and work.

Loved my visit! Super kind and friendly staff, large space with plenty of seating despite the busyness, and my cubano was scrumptious and beautiful! Will definitely come back next time I’m in the area.

Review №26

Really enjoying this coffee and vibe, nice to be able to easily park and do some work in an extra clean and chill environment that you might call a chic casual vibe. The design inside is one of the nicer coffee shops Ive been in and that includes like a lot of top ones in Manhattan.

Hipster and clean coffee bar. Young professionals and students like to work/study here. Great local art that’s changed periodically! Great baristas!

Indah Coffee Co. is the new “hot spot” in town. The ambiance and location are great! It’s nice to see business owners expanding into the Upper Main part of downtown Columbia! I’ve been very pleased with my experiences here, always greeted and served with a smile. The coffee is very good (but VERY strong) if you are sensitive to caffeine make sure to have something to eat with your drink.I also love how this “local” shop has incorporated other “local” vendors as well, you definitely need to try the Cannonborough Soda (N. Charleston) and the pastries from Tallulah’s (Devine Street, Columbia) as well as many other craft beers and treats. I love Indah and I think that it is becoming a HUB here in Columbia, SC. Keep up the good work!

When youre about to order coffee at 3:00 p.m. and you dont want to be judged, this is a great place to go. The person working was super nice and recommended El cubano and I have to say it was fantastic.

Review №32

Support local!Sad that they didnt have their advertised honey habenero coffee or even know if they would get it back for the season or move on to a new drink. Typically, they make a great consistently superb drip coffee with excellent variation. Also, consider coming here for a nice selection of craft beers!

Review №39

Constantly see the “managers” taking off their mask and putting them back on when a customer comes in. Touching their faces, combing their hair with their fingers (put on a hair tie?). No social distancing between customers. COME ON. Employees need to stop touching theirselves, even without a pandemic. Miss the Asian girls, they seemed like they knew what they were doing and cared for you. Indah, support your fellow community, country, and mankind by taking cleanliness seriously. Supporting our local businesses shouldn’t put us at risk. Bye Indah.

Got the Tai Coffee. Pretty disappointing - last time we got it, it was amazing and delicious. This was watery and bland. The honeybee cortado was good, and the space and graphic designs were great. Just wish wed enjoyed our coffee more.

I fell in love with Indah Coffee when I was pregnant with my last child. Their decaf was delicious and very low in caffeine. It was the only coffee I could drink! Now I go there 4 years later as a loyal customer for caffeinated coffee and great atmosphere

Indah Coffee is my favorite coffee shop of all time.Ive 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. Hes my fave. Hes super upbeat, positive and has the biggest smile! Hes 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! Were lucky to have you in town.

Review №52

I have been a customer of Indah for the last 3 years. I usually would go to Indah 3 times a week. However, after today, I will no longer be a customer of Indah. Indah is our neighborhood coffee shop. However, they are not taking the health of our neighborhood seriously. Instead, they are not enforcing the city wide mask mandate. They are allowing customers to sit as close as they want, they dont require masks in line, and they are fully permitting in person coffee drinking. This is in stark contrast to our other neighborhood coffee shop Curiosity. The health of our neighborhood is at stake and Indah does not seem to care. Furthermore, when I called Indah to ask what their policy is, they stated that there is nothing that they can do and goodbye.

Great spot to sit and do some work and enjoy coffee. I normally get a honey latte with oat milk (in true millennial fashion) but have also gotten the other flavors like vanilla and lavender if memory serves me correct. I also went a little earlier than normal this past weekend and opted for the avocado toast for breakfast. Definitely delicious but not sure if Id spend $12 or so dollars for it again.

Great place. Good environment and amazing tea! My only complaint is that the music is usually too loud and in my opinion somewhat obnoxious.

Review №57

$5 for a small iced coffee with caramel in it. What I didn’t know is the caramel is just decoration- no flavor. I guess it’s my fault for assuming if I ask for cream and a flavor (which of course is extra) that it won’t taste so bitter. Cute set up, rustic hipster vibe. Workers were polite.

A coffee shop that roasts their own beans in the back does a huge difference in attaining that accurate and incredibly fresh taste.

My favorite local coffee roaster. If you enjoy good coffee, do yourself and favor and buy locally roasted coffee and while your at it buy it from here. Good coffee, great atmosphere, and even better location!

A hidden jewel in Columbia. The Cinnamon Rolls alone make it worth the visit. I loved everything about this coffee spot. Their space is bright and welcoming, where there are many places to sit and do some work or catchup with friends. They have dog friendly seating outside and their selection of coffee is better than most local shops. Delicious coffee and wonderful service. Fantastic location and atmosphere!

Indah has the best pour over in town. Seriously, if you want a solid cup of coffee, go no further than Indah Coffee. Everybody is incredibly nice and the cafe is nice and open. It has a chill vibe and I love stopping by on my way and getting a cup. Also, they sell beans now and its pretty awesome. They also, have some brews on tap, which is nice.

I recently bought a few bags of whole bean Indah Coffee from the shop to take with me as gifts on a business trip. Everyone absolutely loved the coffee, and weeks later I still have each of those folks talking about how good the coffee was. The only thing better? Dropping by the coffee shop and having them prepare it for you. I love this place, I love the vibe, and I love the coffee. Hands down best in Columbia for coffee and now they serve craft beer. Even better! Five stars without hesitation.

Review №76

Great little place. Every time Ive been in customer service and product has been fantastic. Whether youre in for morning coffee or an afternoon beer. Great vibe and I love how they used an old building, remodeled it, yet kept the old school character. While youre there, stop in at the best barber shop in town, Circa. It is literally inside the coffee shop.

Great coffee. There are different types of roasts from different coffee producing areas of the world. Also, the pastry selection is good enough to always count on finding something new and fresh. A bit of a hipster vibe which might seem pretentious, but just ask someone behind the counter to help guide your coffee choice, theyre great.

This is a great place to meet with a group, to work or study. It has two large spaces with ample table space for meeting with groups in the back and there are a number of smaller tables in front area. So if you show up and it seems full ceck out the space to the right near the bathrooms or the back behind the glass. The coffee is pretty good, I would not say its the best I have ever had, but it is good and worth the money. They do have a small menu and sweets and this is where they really shine. The food, is excellent.

Its a bitter sweet thing that this coffee place isnt closer to my house lol. I would probably be there almost every day if it was closer, so its probably for the best. It has a homie feel to it which I LOVE. Also, a little area for kids to play barista which is a cute little touch. I had a honey cinnamon latte with almond milk, and shared one of their homemade strawberry pop tarts with my daughter.

Some of the best coffee in the area. Ample seating however its always busy so seating usually fills up.My only complaint is staff attitude. The guys Ive encountered so far have been great and very helpful and friendly. The last 3 women i have encountered have been very distant and unfriendly. One such woman has actually caused me to stop going to their sister shop on Main street because of her attitude.I highly recommend the cortado..

First timer. I had to come to Indah for a meeting and loved it. I am not a coffee drinker but I love the smell of coffee. Yes I am weird like that. This place felt like a coffee house you would find in a large city. I would definitely come back here again. Also you dont need to be a coffee drinker to enjoy this place either.
