Instead of kicking people off your patio during Soda City for not buying your food maybe incentivize folks to buy your overpriced food instead. ?♂️ Just saying.

Glad Spotted Salamander is on Main Street now. It's a great place for coffee and a quick bite.

The food is amazing. I work in the same building and remember they didn't have soup. They made sure they brought back the soup bc I asked so much. They are the sweetest and funnest people I've ever met. Also the pesto salad is amazing.

I was ignored for 5 min waiting at the cashier — not even a welcome or acknowledgement. I ordered a hot latte and received an iced latte. For some reason this latte was almost $9, and i can get the same specialty latte with oat milk from Starbucks for $7. They then gave me the correct hot latte but the cup was HALF EMPTY. I will never return here. You’re better off going to Starbucks on Main Street.

This is a James Beard nominated cafe in Columbia that does a creative take on southern classics. It's housed in a charming row house in a historic neighborhood in the city. My partner picked up take-out and got the ham delights, which was a small ham snack-sized sandwich on a homemade roll which was a nice appetizer. We also had the fried chicken sandwich which was really good, the chicken was perfectly crispy and seasoned, which is saying a lot in a town where there's fried chicken everywhere. We also had a slice of the creamiest, most delectable cake, I think it was birthday cake or vanilla flavored. Must-do in Columbia.

Treasure Hint #3. My final challenge was very hard. The clues referred to a clock pattern around the city using references like USC and the city police HQ. But the “spotted” friends clue made me think of the salamanders around main st. I had to get help from Sarah you let me know her Bldg had recently opened this expansion site for Spotted Salamander. Josh came down from his office and joined me for some spotted wraps.

Delicious food & welcoming staff! I am so grateful we have another Spotted location.
You have never had Oatmeal Cream Pie until you have had it from Spotted Salamander!!! Seriously! You MUST buy one for yourself and at least one more to share the amazing tasty love!
