Sweet and Savory: My Small Sugar Experience

Welcome back to week three of exploring the best spots in Columbia, SC! Between classes, work, and the weather recently, sometimes you just need a little treat to brighten your day. That’s where Small Sugar comes in. Located at 709 Gervais St, Columbia, SC 29201, this cozy bakery specializes in handcrafted sweets.
I stopped by Small Sugar recently and was immediately drawn in by the colorful display of pastries and desserts. I decided to try the avocado toast plate, it was a little pricey, but every bite made the splurge worth it. The space itself is welcoming, with a charming, cozy vibe that makes it easy to study with a friend or grab a snack on the go.
Whether you’re a dessert lover looking for your next favorite spot or just need a small pick-me-up during a busy day, Small Sugar is worth the visit. From cookies to cupcakes to other delightful pastries, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!

The Artisan Edit

Image
Starting off strong with the Crave Artisan Market located at 725 Meeting St in West Columbia. The market is a family-owned sandwich spot, offering take-out and eating options. With fresh ingredients and a menu with lots of variety, the market has a simple yet elevated approach. I ordered the Meadow vegan sandwich (pictured below), substituting the nutritional yeast for turkey, and absolutely loved it. The portions are large and made as ordered, promising freshness with every order. Beyond sandwiches, the menu offers house-made soups, salads, and paninis, also offering a grab-and-go section for people in a hurry. If you haven’t tried before, I would strongly suggest heading down to the Crave Artisan Market, whether you’re looking for a quick lunch or a local spot with big flavor. This hidden gem on Meeting Street is definitely worth a visit. Menu

A Quick Seafood Escape to The Oyster House

Image
I took a little weekend trip, so this week’s food pick is a bit different — The Oyster House in Charleston. It’s a super charming spot with a historic, coastal vibe and some of the freshest seafood I’ve had in a while. The raw bar is the star (their oysters are insanely good), but the fish tacos and ahi tuna appetizer deserve just as much hype. Tucked off of King Street, it's a quiet restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. The whole place feels relaxed but polished, perfect for a slow weekend dinner. If you want a spot where you can sit back and enjoy really well-done seafood, The Oyster House definitely is the spot to try. Menu

Groucho’s Deli: A Columbia Favorite for Flavorful Eats

Image
As we approach our last week, I have two last places to share with you all. The first amazing food option is Groucho’s Deli, as it has quickly become one of my favorite casual spots to grab a bite. The menu has a great mix of hearty sandwiches, fresh salads, and their signature dipping sauces that really take everything up a notch. I tried their BLT, and it was packed with flavor, served with a side of their delicious Formula 45 sauce. Definitely worth the hype. Everything tasted fresh and was made to order, which made the meal even better. The portions were generous, and the prices felt very reasonable for the quality. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with that friendly neighborhood deli vibe that makes you want to come back. The staff was attentive and made sure everything came out just right. Whether you’re stopping in for dinner or a quick takeout, Groucho’s Deli is a great spot in Columbia for a satisfying meal. Menu
