Whether you’re fueling up for the school run, powering through a workday, or catching up with friends, Columbia County’s local coffee scene has a brew for every mood. From cozy corners to bold roasts and even coffee flights, here’s where to sip your way around town.
Rooted Coffeehouse
Rooted is more than just a coffee shop, it’s a warm, inviting space designed for connection. With signature lattea, indulgent Gourmet Toasts, and nourishing breakfast bowls, it’s a go-to for locals and a must-visit for newcomers. Each of the three locations has its own personality, making it fun to try them all.

What About Tea?
While Columbia County doesn’t yet have a dedicated tea house, several local cafés (like Rooted and Goat Kick) offer quality teas, matcha, and herbal blends. And if you’re craving something extra—like classic milk tea, fruit tea, or boba—you’re in luck, just a short drive away:
Ding Tea Augusta
