Soda City Eats

Nestled within the recently restored W. B. Smith Whaley House in the heart of downtown Columbia, you’ll find the newest location of Knowledge Perk Coffee Company. This historic house-turned-cafe invites guests to relax in a comfortable atmosphere where they can enjoy their early morning pick-me-up, lunch meetings, and late-night study sessions in a cozy atmosphere. The cafe’s standout feature is an expansive wrap-around porch that provides an ideal spot to sip your coffee while enjoying a nice breeze.

Founded in South Carolina in 2017, Knowledge Perk has gained a reputation for its intentionally sourced and roasted specialty coffee, hand-crafted artisan pastries, educational coffee programs, and mission of building community wherever they open a cafe. With convenient parking, hours, and online ordering options, Knowledge Perk has made it as stress-free as possible for you to grab your daily cup at your own pace.
