Huitzi at Main and Gervais
Power Coffee at the Center of It All
Where Columbia does business, Huitzi does espresso.
There is no address in South Carolina more central than this one
1221 Main Street rises at the corner of Main and Gervais, one of the most significant office towers in the capital city, and it stands directly across from the South Carolina State House, the seat of state government and the symbolic heart of Columbia. This is where laws are debated, where business gets done, and where the city's most consequential conversations happen every single day. And right inside the building's lobby, you'll find the Huitzi The Bus Coffee Shop.
Being at the center of it all means you don't have to leave the building for exceptional coffee, no coat, no umbrella, no crosswalk required. Our warm oak espresso bar glows softly against the lobby's sea-glass walls, framed by original paintings of Columbia scenes, fresh flowers on every surface, and daylight pouring in from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Handcrafted espresso, smooth cold brew, pour-overs, and a case of pastries are served fresh just steps from the elevator bank. Pull up a stool at one of our café tables and you'll find the morning line moves fast and the drinks come out precise, so a nine o'clock meeting never has to start under-caffeinated.
