The Prince Street Cafe crew planted their third flag in Columbia, and it might be the best thing to happen to Locust Street in years — a proper downtown coffeehouse where the house-blend espresso, seasonal matcha, and loose-leaf tea actually earn their keep. It's a designated pit stop on the Northwest River Trail, so you can roll in off the trail sweaty and un-showered and nobody so much as blinks. Homemade soups, fresh sandwiches, and a dessert case engineered to talk you out of whatever willpower you walked in with. Open since early 2024, it's the gathering spot downtown Columbia didn't know it was missing — big, central, and built for lingering. Grab whole-bean coffee and tea to take home, or rent the space by the hour when you need somewhere to actually get things done. Order the matcha, claim a table, and let the river trail wait.
