Great place and eclectic atmosphere. I am not a coffee drinker but the berry tea was piping hot & delicious.
They have delicious cold brew with coffee ice cubes, nitro cold brew, and dirty chai lattes. Im sure everything else that I havent yet tried is equally fantastic. Plus it's a fun experience watching the various coffees being made in their respective apparati
This very eclectic store has wonderful coffee and an warm atmosphere. If your looking for a place to hide away to get some work done or just to read this is a great place to go.
A very unique coffee experience. Super laid back.
Great place to study and solid coffee. I really like how they freeze coffee into cubes so that the ice doesn't water down your iced coffee. My only complaint is that their freshly made coffee isn't freshly ground, but comes pre ground in a big tub. Ground coffee loses a significant amount of flavor after just 1 hour.
Really friendly, great coffee, nice atmosphere!
Quirky space with interesting staff. Outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Fancy brewing methods.
Fantastic service--Chelsea and Sarah are GREAT! Coffee is awesome, as well! Though it is a little expensive.....
Love the atmosphere! Wonderful coffee and service. I had a Cinnamon Honey Latte.
Wow just so amazing!
Traveling all over the US and regardless of what city I'm in, I always try to find cool coffee spots. Fretboard so far has been one of my favorites. I could just smell it walking up 100 yards away. They were roasting beans and it was delicious. The cold/iced coffee was amazing. Coffee ice cubes are a definite plus and rare to find. The vibe and decor is unique and cozy. By far one of my most favorite coffee shops yet!
I love love love this place. The employees behind the counter always seem to be having a good time and are happy to chat when I strike up conversation. The owner, Dave, is also a great guy and I buy coffee grounds from him for my work. And needless to say the coffee, espresso, etc is DELICIOUS.
Great people
Love it!!!
Great coffee. Superb and thoughtful design. Fun place!
The counter folks are helpful and chill -- the owner is oftèn there doing a roast. The space is magically eclectic -- it totally works.
Amazing service with a laid back vibe. Definitely returning.
Convenient location and good coffee!
Fretboard is like a science lab specializing in coffee and caffeine.
Fantastic, cool little coffee spot
Fun little coffee shop.
Good service. Beautiful patio. Almost always ethiopian or kenyan on dark roast.
Dirty Chai is excellent, as are the baked goods from Good Food Co.
Some of the best coffee I have ever had, and the staff makes the amazing coffee even better!
Awesome little coffee shop, connected to some really amazing art galleries and local art/craft vendors. Live music in the backyard area. I checked it out for First Friday and for a performance event
Wonderful!
One of our favorite little spots in Columbia. Great coffee, tea and chill space to do work or meet up with friends.
By far my favorite coffee in town.
As a third wave coffee lover, this is the place I like to go for coffee when visiting family in Colombia
Nice, new and refreshing
Excellent
I don't go anywhere else in Columbia for coffee/espresso
Funky and hip, rustic. Several types of 'coffee', plus espresso. Good for hanging out with friends. Sometimes quiet enough to work. Small.
Seriously good coffee.
Nice place to be some work done. Good coffee for sure. This place is a real coffee shop for sure. Just what Columbia needs.
Amazing coffee shop I enjoyed my coffee over there
Super good Cubano coffee, and super friendly coffee experts...tasty & beautiful Late.
I like my coffee simple and my baristas friendly. And I get that from Fretboard on a consistent basis. No reason to go anywhere else.
Great cold brew, nice staff!!
Perfect little coffee shop
First visit. Enjoyed the Mocha; nice, open space. Will go again!
A quirky, fun atmosphere. A cozy little nest for coffee birds to land.
Really like the atmosphere. Cozy and comfy chairs in the back room. My lavender latte was not super hot but good tasting. Would return!
Great coffee & a great place for a one on one meeting.
Great music , Wonderful coffee !
Drove hours to find it closed before 6PM!!!
Quaint, cozy, one-of-a-kind coffee shop. Coffee itself is ok, but not necessarily my personal favorite.
Great coffee. Nice place to study.
Delicious pour-over. I had the Ethiopian roast.
Some of the best coffee in town, friendly staff and great owners. I love their varieties of tea as well as their freshly roasted beans. It's Columbia's hidden gem.
Amazing place! I really enjoyed the COFFEE!
Eclectic, out of the way, off beat fun place.
Hands down our favorite coffee shop in town. The coffee is always delicious, the staff and the regulars are welcoming, and the internet is more reliable than at some other places I could mention. Outdoor seating in the summer is plentiful as well.
Great coffee, great service. Super chill and down to earth baristas. You can order a chemex or syphon brewed coffee without any of the pretension that usually comes along with it. They do a great cubano and serve yummy locally made donuts. Bonus! They have a super sex-positive bathroom with condoms and tampons and info packs and local health center info. And they're attached to a really unique art shop! Love it here, would be there every day if I lived in the area.
Quality drinks and service. The seating is very limited and the atmosphere is very quiet. Great if you're looking for a place to read, horrible if you're wanting to go for a coffee date to chat.
Super small but full of character place!
Very nice stop on drive from Louisville to Albany, CA. Super relaxing. Wonderful conversation with several great people. Makes me want to drive across country again.
Perfect college coffee shop. Wonderful atmosphere and excellent coffee.
Great cold brew comfortable atmosphere and friendly service
This is a great place to get a cold brew on a Saturday morning after a run. Go next door and get a blackberry roll at Good Foods and enjoy the patio
Good coffee, but the place is very hard to find.
Our go-to coffee spot, artfully roasting their own beans and proudly served to our own clients here at the gallery.
Good Coffee and great WiFi!
Very cool place... thanks for making me feel welcome.
Fretboard sells itself as a high end/third wave shop by offering multiple manual brewing methods, but after watching them prepare coffee, it's clear they're pretenders. The coffee was pre-ground in giant half-air-filled tubs, the same grind size was used for multiple methods (scooped from the tub), no timer was used, no scale appeared to be used, and no attention was paid to details such as water/coffee ratio or temperature. I can't imagine how they prepare siphon--a very hard method to get right--when I saw an Aeropress--a very easy method--very sloppily made. If a shop is going to charge twice (or more!) as much as a batch brew cup, they need to justify it and Fretboard doesn't. Seeing the coffee botched, I ordered a cappuccino instead. It was watery and flavorless. That being said, the service was nice and the space was cool, but this appears to be another case of someone who roasts coffee well but has no idea how to prepare it well. Considering Columbia has two other shops that have mastered this, I won't return here next time I'm in town. (Yes, I saw the owner's response to a previous review mentioning pre-ground coffee and no I don't buy it that it tastes just as good. Almost no other shops do it this way since it's just as easy and quick to portion out the correct amount of beans in advance and dump them into the grinder after the order. In fact, most shops won't serve coffee they brewed an hour ago, let alone make it from beans ground that along ago.)
Awesome staff serving awesome coffee!
Great cold brew in a super cool location. It's a little hidden so you might have to look for it. It's down the alley. Well worth the search.
I love how fretboard has a more unique flair than the other coffee shops in town. The mocha is made from local chocolate milk and is delicious!
Fantastic coffee. Fantastic environment. Friendly people. Only downside is there is a limited number of tables available for people to work at.
Love this place!
High end coffee done right
Best coffee in Columbia! Cool vibe and more ways of brewing coffee than you can count on one hand. Legendary cold brew and they also make this amazing blend called High Fidelity
So many wonderful coffees and many ways to prepare it
Expensive, but worth the high quality coffee and atmosphere. Definitely feels like the hip place in town.
People claim that their coffee place is the "best" this one actually is the best place in Columbia for coffee. This is coming from someone who grew up in Guatemala with friends who own coffee plantations, I know my coffee. Beware, after trying this place you will be spoiled :-)
Just visited for the first time a couple weeks ago and had a great experience. My 4 year old daughter goes to dance class nearby and I have always though about stopping by due to the great smells I picked up between my car and the dance studio, but by the time dance is over fretboard is closed. Finally had a moment, before dance started, to stop by and loved the atmosphere and the coffee!
Good drinks, nice people! Fair prices
Small chill place to enjoy a coffee.
Best cold brew I've ever tried! Coffee ice cubes too!!
This coffee is amazing and so is the service!! Also in the summer they have an amazing lavender lemonade. They even had a cute Christmas sweater for sale.
Great space, great staff, amazing coffee
Quirky little coffee shop
One of Columbia's hidden treasures! They know what they are doing when it comes to the art of making coffee.
Be sure to check out the ROTO-BREW cold-brew coffee tower. Truly amazing!
cool folks, great coffee, nice and hidden
Try the Dirty Chai! Yum!
My husband and I buy whole beans regularly and I love the free cup with each bag! There's lots of outdoor seating for when the weather's nice. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, which is something you want from coffee sellers. Parking can be troublesome, especially in the late afternoon, but it's worth it because of the coffee. Try the siphon pot!
Amazing coffee, cozy atmosphere, fun people and a community vibe.
They prove you with a high class cup of coffee and the "rebel within" muffin is amazing if you like soft boiled eggs!! It was so good. It is a small inside but they do have some outside seating as well.
Good coffee here really good coffee here I love the coffee here.
Best coffee and the best place to drink it in Como!
Awesome under the radar coffee shop. Coffee was great!
Fretboard has great tasting coffee and a variety of ways to brew the coffee from pour over and French press to syphon and cold brew.
Great open mic on the 3rd friday of the month. Wish it was more often.
Delicious cold brewed mocha, right next to Artlandish. Great place!
Fun cozy environment. Great coffee.
Coffee was good. No frills shop
They have the most delicious bacon cheddar scones right now! Pairs perfectly with my dirty chai :)
The ambience is a little on the...root cellar-ish side. Or perhaps a hobbit hole is more flattering. There are not many tables, and if there are students camped down for the rest of the day, you won't have a place to sit.
Best coffee in Columbia.
Wonderful
A hip coffee joint with a great selection of brewing options. They are almost hidden in a little nook on the backside of the building. Staff was very friendly, outdoor seating area was lovely, and they're attached to a local store you can peruse while they make your coffee. Speaking of the coffee, it was great! This is the only place in town that I'm aware of that carries siphon (vacuum brew) and a Kyoto drip cold brew system. They haven't mastered the siphon brew yet but they still know how to make great coffee.
Om nom nom! Best coffee ever! Great service
I discovered aeropress here. This place is in my top 10. There is indoor and outdoor seating, it's connected to an underground artist bazaar, free wifi, the coffee is fire and the regulars are interesting.
Great quiet place to relax and get work done. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
The most original idea for a coffee shop I have ever seen. Very cool vibes. It almost feels like its in its own secret club.
This place is a hidden gem! The coffee was delicious and the ambiance impressive. I will be visiting again.
Great little coffee shop with amazing coffee and many different methods of making the coffee. Probably my new favorite coffee shop
Best coffee. Friendly staff
Fretboard is my favorite coffee shop in town. Freshly roasted coffee with an amazing ambiance provides a relaxing place is do work or simply grab a cup to go.
It's the spot. Great coffe, great tunes, great chitchat
Beautiful hole-in-the-wall type coffee shop that roasts up some of the best coffee in town. They offer a wide variety of brewing methods. A light, medium and dark roast are available as drip. I always make sure to pick up a pound of their Ethiopian beans.
Awesome coffee experience!
Neat little tucked away hipsterized coffee bar. Pretty hard to find but the staff seem pretty enthused about the beans. I'd make another trip.
Nice coffee. Love the "hole in the wall" atmosphere. Nice place to hang for a bit. Parking around back may not be obvious.
Best coffee in Columbia!
Good americanos
The best coffee made by amazing humans in a gorgeous downtown location! They make it so easy to fall in love with them and you'll keep returning again and again!
Cool cool
This is a nice little tucked away treasure of a coffee shop, was great coffee and I will definitely return.
Hole-in-the-wall coffee joint with unique brewing styles, great atmosphere, and beer available before 10 AM
I've been to fretboard a fair amount, and every time (I swear) the taste, quality of the brew, and friendly yet quick service only improves with each new visit! I highly recommend trying EVERYTHING on the menu (one per visit of course) until you've tried all the various methods of brewing; and had adequate the time to determine exactly what your favorite is
Legit best coffee in town, and if you're driving down I-70 this is TOTALLY worth the 1.5mile jaunt and there's a parking lot right behind it. Talented & friendly staff, top notch roasts and bacon maple donuts!!!
Hoped for great espresso but found one brewed with too much water and for my taste too bitter taste. I’ll head to Shortwave again tomorrow for my espresso shot!
Great coffee! Love the siphon pot.
Delicious coffee
The roasters here know their craft as do the baristas. They'll brew with your preferred method and the cold brew is second to none.
Awesome "hole in the wall" coffee spot!
Excellent coffee! Great atmosphere!
Fun coffee shop. Very small.
The best coffee in Columbia. Great baristas. Wonderful atmosphere. A true gem.
Relaxing!!!
Good coffee
Quiet little laidback place with some strong ass coffee that tastes great.
Excellent coffee and excellent atmosphere. Great place to catch up with a friend or two.
Good simple coffee without all the fluff and sugary additions. They make coffee for people who genuinely like coffee. We love their space, especially for doing group work on weekends. And we appreciate their inclusive environment.
