Acola Coffee

A dreamy, inspiring, plant-filled coffee shop that is totally the right atmosphere, service, and quality. The fine details, nice restrooms, and beautiful remodeling of the old auto shop make it one of the best coffee shops my spouse and I have been in. Wish we could stay and linger longer! Will totally be recommending Acola to friends and family on their travels or who live close by, worth the drive into town for sure! P.s. one of the best scones I have had too! The coffee and the pastries are both worth just popping in!

Coffee Shop No. 422Acola Coffee CompanyColumbia, MOSeptember 27, 2024On 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! The baristas were exceptional. And yes, I was definitely the old lady in the cafe.

This place was in a gorgeous area!! The outdoor area has beautiful flowers and the inside was just as cute! The barista was as sweet as can be and super helpful! They have house made syrups which is a huge plus to me! I loved everything about this place and will totally go back!

LOVED the cold brew and raspberry-toasted coconut scone at this great little cafe! Adorable aesthetic filled with plants, exposed brick and comfortable seating. We just stopped by for a quick snack so didn't have time to order a crepe, but they looked large and delicious. Appreciate that both still and sparkling water is on tap for customers. Will be back!

As izma says, "brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!" This is the location to come to for anything you ever desired from a coffee shop. Better than your dreams and definitely finer designed. Nooks for studying, crepes to eat and coffee to drink near plants, window and college kids ready for their final. I truly felt like I couldn't take matching photos for this place for the first time. If you are near or visiting and want a place to rest and talk or eat and drink. Come

Stopped by on our way out of town during our MI to OR road trip. Great looking place with lots of seating and plants which added to the lovely atmosphere. The baristas were all very friendly as well as being able to make a really great cappuccino. The coffee they use is definitely on par with some of the better espresso that we have had both in Michigan and Oregon. They also have a creperie which looked delicious & would go well with one of their coffee drinks.

Acola is definitely one of my most favorite places in Columbia. I have been going here for years, and it is so special to see how much they have grown! The staff is kind, the interior is beautiful, and the coffee is delicious! There is so much seating, they have many types of drinks, and offer crepes and toasties. My go-to drink is an iced latte with oat milk and sweet cinnamon syrup, and my favorite bite to eat is the chocolate croissant.

Ya'll, we stopped here this morning on a road trip and we are already plotting our return visit on the drive home- two days from now. For starters, the space- both inside and out, is stunning. Rooftop seating, beautiful landscaping, high rounded ceilings, a garage door for natural light--- all of it was so thought out. Bravo! Second, the staff was very friendly and hospitable upon our entering. We fought the urge to buy any of the baked treats and both ordered lattes- one pistachio and the other with caramel. We noticed that they also offered some interesting tea and non-caffeinated beverages. Overall, a fabulous experience and we can't wait to stop in again.PS: look at those beautiful coffee cup designs

Such a cute spot! Stopped by for a dirty chai with oatmilk on my way home from work and it was lovely. Some places have weak chai, but I could taste the spice! I will say, I had a little bit of sticker shock when the chai+espresso+oatmilk came out to $9, but I ordered it, so it's on me. The espresso really was good!! Now I know I need to try a latte next time for the full effect.

5 of us went to Acola coffee on Sunday morning, longer line but it moved quickly. Staff was friendly. We either had crepes or toast items. I personally had a Weekend at Bernies, a savory selection. All of us were served after a short wait. The coffee was good and the prices were what I expected. The only problem was we couldn't get a table, had to wrestle a crepe on my lap while sitting on a couch.Would return again next time I am in town.
