Acola Coffee Company — Restaurant in Columbia Township

If you're looking for a coffee shop that truly stands out, look no further! My husband and I recently stopped by on our way back to the Springfield area, and it has quickly become one of our top two favorite coffee spots.

The atmosphere is absolutely enchanting—it's beautifully designed, creating a warm and inviting space that makes you want to linger. Whether you're catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet moment alone, this place is perfect for relaxation.

Now, let's talk about the coffee! We ordered the hot mocha, customized to be 1/4 sweet, and it was simply divine. The rich, smooth chocolate combined with the perfectly brewed expresso created a delightful flavor that was both comforting and indulgent. You can really taste the quality in every sip!

Overall, this coffee shop is a must-visit for any coffee lover. The combination of exceptional coffee and a stunning atmosphere makes it a standout destination. We can't wait to return and explore more of their offerings! Don't miss out...

Coffee Shop No. 422 Acola Coffee Company Columbia, MO September 27, 2024

Masks are of course required to enter, though.)

All in all, I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for amazing coffee in such an...
