The Gourmet Shop Reviews

Overall, I really liked this place. The food and drinks were excellent, and the coffee was high quality. There s the actual restaurant portion, a bakery section, and a wine/cigar section. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. Staff was compliant with COVID-19 Guidelines. Everyone was still seated very close together though. I would have given this place 5 stars but our waiter disappeared. When we first got there we had a waitress and she got us what we needed initially. Then after that we had a waiter and he only came to check on us twice (once to order actual food, and once to give us the check). He was very attentive to the tables next to us on the right but completely ignored our table and the one to our left. At one point, a family sat down to the left of us after the other guests left and they waited for about 25 minutes before they left because no one even came to get their drink order. I was very disappointed in this aspect. Another downside is this place only has one unisex bathroom, meaning only one toilet so you will be waiting awhile to use it. I would like to point out that we went during brunch which is a very busy time and I can understand that things won t happen right away. However, to be completely forgotten about by staff is really annoying especially when staff is attentive to the people around you. I would like to return because the food/drinks were excellent but I m hesitant to based on our waiter experience. It s a shame because the two times we did actually see him he was very sweet and joked with us.

Iconic 5 Points restaurant I've been going to since college (25 years!), I can't get enough of their chicken salad. I truly haven't had better anywhere. Get there early, it's always busy and parking can be tough. Inside and outside seating, and a cute shop with unique food and kitchen items to peruse while you wait.

Enjoyed the visit. Really cool stop. Crowded.
I had the turkey panini with their house condiment. The turkey had a taste to it that I didn't like. I ate a good part of my sandwich without the turkey. The rest of it was great and their house made condiment was pretty delish.

I also had the tomato bisque as the side.
Yum.
I wish I had just gotten the bisque and some bread. It was so delicious. I was sad when it ended. Highly recommend it.

Also had the mimosa kit, which was a great addition to a lunch for four.

Service was great and we had a great time. Would definitely come back.

love Gourmet Shop - we ve been going there for many years. It s fresh and delicious, and always the
right Temperature if you order out - ie, especially during pandemic!

The variation in choices, the everyday brunch availability make Gourmet Shop a standout.

Eat here - you ll be enjoying the European atmosphere
and the great great menu of fine foods and excellent wines.....

So happy we have them

If you re looking for one of the best lunch/brunch spots in town look no further. It is one of my favorite little places to have a mimosa and nibble on some tasty fresh food. And that s just the cafe. If you re looking for amazing hostess gifts their shop is fantastic. Their wine selection is amazing and also just a fantastic place to grab and go food and add to your pantry and bar.

a cafe full of various attractions Brunchtime is a great place It's a good place to date.

Stopped in for lunch and the quality was amazing and the prices were reasonable! Also they re the only place I could find a pizza/baking stone locally! Highly recommend! I will be back soon!

Quite possibly the most boujee place in all of Columbia and I say that with the utmost respect and adoration. This place is the go to for all upscale wine, spreads, cigars, cheeses. If you want to spend a quick $100 they can help. With that being said everything is fantastic better than you'd imagine, cheese game is unrivaled in all of SC I believe. Definitely check them out it's worth the Cheddar. pun intended!!!!

Very busy place. We ordered online and were able to get our food and go. Sandwiches were fresh. The tomato bisque was excellent. Fun place to vista's shop. Great atmosphere and vibe. At least a 4.8in our opinion

I have been here twice for breakfast and I am looking forward to the third time. The store has lots of good looking food and wine too.
