Knowledge Perk Coffee Company - Coffee shop in Columbia - 1527 Gervais St, USA

This house was built in 1892. It was recently renovated to a six apartment property with the first floor as a coffee shop. The atmosphere is great. Inside and out. The balcony is so refreshing. I enjoyed the fireplaces and the front door. I believe they are original to the house. The coffee was good. I had banana bread. It was very tasty and moist. The young lady at the counter was helpful and super nice. Because this establishment is new I believe everything is going to be better with time. Definitely recommend.

Must visit for their syrups and seasonal flavors. The hazelnut syrup had a fresh, raw and nutty flavour. The coffee was smooth. They turned a house into a coffee shop. It's very cozy and comfortable. They have outdoor seating too. They have limited pastry options in case you are hungry

Lord, I’ve been waiting for this property to become something other than a rundown Victorian-esque relic of yesteryear. The new coffee place didn’t disappoint. The decor is simple which is good. To retain the character of what it was would be kinda….uh…no. Most of us locals knew the property as a former funeral home, and there’s likely little interest to pay homage to that. What would they sell? Casket Cappuccino, Haunted Habanero Latte, or Ghost Toast? The answer is D, none of the above! The new place is well done, clean, has ample parking, and plenty of seating space. I also like that the coffee is local to South Carolina. I had the Filthy Chai (a dirty chai with two shots) which was pretty good. It came out quick and the staff was kind. I plan on visiting again.

Stopped in for coffee and dessert while visiting Columbia. SC. Excellent assortment of lattes, but very limited sugar-free options. The blueberry brûlée is delicious, but they could have offered to warm it. The staff isn't very well versed (or trained?) but they are friendly and polite. We just had to explain and/or repeat our order a number of times. All in all, 4 stars because the coffee is tasty, as were the desserts we tried and the setting/ambiance is befitting a quaint coffee bar you'd expect in an historic southern city.

What a lovely downtown find! Gorgeous old home with a modern vibe inside. Baristas were friendly and helpful. The lemon blueberry was divine. Super moist and flavorful. The maple bourbon latte was delicious and not overly sweet. My husband in joyed a quad shot with cream and we both commented how smooth the flavor was! If you are in the area definitely worth stopping by.

I've been here a few times and every time the staff has been exceptional. They are always kind, understanding and overall very helpful. I love the atmosphere and their apple cider is delicious, I deducted one star because they were out of basically all the pastries except for one, which wasn't warmed up and it is a tad pricey. I do like how everything tastes fresh and homemade though.

Cute cafe with delicious coffee and a small selection of high quality pastries! Plenty of comfy indoor and outdoor seating. The barista was very helpful/knowledgeable.

Glad to have another coffee shop in Columbia!! Good coffee and really good atmosphere. Their flavors blend in with coffee very well. Plenty of parking space available too.
