Good Life Cafe
Celebrate fall with our first Vegan Beer Dinner! This dinner consists of an appetizer, entree, and dessert each paired with an autumn beer. Thanksgiving is the perfect occasion to share our blessings with loved ones, friends, and neighbors, people we've just met who are alone or together on this annual holiday.

Since the beginning, creating menu items packed with whole, nutrient-dense foods that both satisfy taste buds with specialty foods you can't find anywhere else. The Good Life Cafe took everything you already love about a healthy food lifestyle and designed the same goodness into their new Barista Bar.
Services
We've got all the traditional coffee drinks you love, plus we're developing a lineup of signatures you won't believe like this Blue Majik Latte! What is blue Majik?. Cocktails coupled with our fresh-squeezed cold-press juices means the flavor is out of this world. If there is a way to squeeze more honest ingredients inside a 16-ounce bottle, we have not found it.
Putting a little beet juice in your coffee is a great natural sweetener and low-calorie option. Beets are packed with vital vitamins and minerals like Folate, Vitamin C, Magnesium, Potassium, Iron, and much more! Beets can significantly lower your blood pressure making them heart-healthy food to incorporate into your morning routine.
Alcohol isn't the best for your body. We've all heard that, however, alcohol when done in moderation can have some positive health benefits. Moderate consumption can be defined as one drink a day for women and up to two a day for men. Now, that we understand what we mean by moderate, we trust you to make good decisions to lead the good life.
If there is a way to squeeze more honest ingredients inside a 16-ounce bottle, we have not found it. Our cold-press process delivers 100% natural juice with no additives. Good Life's Liver Cleanse, formulated to remove toxins from the body, naturally combines ingredients known for these qualities. Kale, a superfood with robust detox components, is also considered a weapon against obesity.

We ordered a waffle, a smoothie bowl and biscuit and gravy. They were all disgusting. My husband and I were very disappointed. I am unsure how this restarting has such rave reviews and poor quality of food. The waffle was gummy inside and dry on the outside. The smoothie bowl was watery. The biscuit was fine and the gravy was bland and flavorless.

This used to be our favorite place. I don't know if management has changed or what. Our waitress wasn't welcoming at all. Normally when you tell them you want a cold pressed juice they grab it for you. She told us we can grab it ourselves. I was confused because I wasn't doing a grab and go. We were siting to dine in.
Then she comes back 8 mins later after walking around and sweeping to ask us " were we going to order something or no".... The customer service has been really going down hill the last few times but this really topped it for me. It seems like they are doing

Hit this place up when we first moved here (prepandemic). I liked it alright but the prices were a little higher than I would have liked and if I remember correctly the hours were strange so I was only able to try once. Since restrictions have loosened up my partner and I passed by during Soda City one Saturday and sure enough they were open with brunch!!! Not really being in the mood for food we ventured their new drink list and wow!! I would definitely suggest this spot for a great brunch drink. Can't speak on the food although it did look really yummy but the drinks, yes. I had the cuMcumber

It was very difficult to find many or any options in Columbia so this place stood out. The service and food was really good. I will definitely revisit again the next time I'm in area.

Totally agree with the previous comments! My experience: I posted a review about my company from my personal account, and then I saw there was an opportunity to create an employer’s account since I myself work in HR. I have discussed this within the company and went ahead with it. I had to register with my company email and it basically forced me to write a review again (otherwise it did not let me continue). Then Glassdoor removed both my reviews saying I violated their policy because I posted 2x trying to manipulate review scores. Wow! Even after I wanted to repost only one of the 2 reviews

We ordered the sweet potato burger--overpriced for what seemed like a store bought patty that was microwaved and put on a sad little bun. No way that should cost $16+. Just no way. The tofu scramble platter was at least decent despite its high price too.

I understand the restaurant industry is facing issues as a consequence of the pandemic so I give a lot of leeway. Despite that, Good Life was a let down.

It's hard to find good vegan brunch options when visiting Columbia, SC., but this place does a great job offering a yummy menu and a fun outdoor seating area & vibe. Our server this morning was super friendly, as well.

Very sweet staff.
Fast service.
I got the spring rolls...delicious but overpriced for serving size.
Also had the kale salad which was ok; not what I expected but not bad, just different.
Friends had multiple other items off menu; all said theirs were just fine too.
Would I go back? Probably. But after I try other restaurants in the area.

I don't know who made my tacos on July 15th 2021 between 1:45-2:00, but they must been hella sad/mad or having a bad day. I came and got the tacos from all these raving reviews. Mine looked nothing like the pictures and were tasteless. I'm vegan and have eaten here before. This is the first bad experience I've had. My taco looked like a tee age throw something together . I didn't have the flax crispy shell. I had life less, unwarmed chalky tortillas. My lettuce was old, cold and more white than green. I don't think I had any green lettuce at all. I have this mystery yellow

If I could give this place more stars, I would! It was amazing and totally vegan. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, and there was a great selection of food to choose from. Definitely get the avo toast if you haven't yet! It's the best item we tried.

I've been craving an Açaí bowl for literally weeks and it was finally fulfilled yesterday. To start I ordered the macchiato. I was surprised it was served in such a small cup, but it sure did fill me with caffeine. Really packed a punch! The bowl was flavorful and well made, personally I had wished I'd gotten one with fruit besides banana. It lists banana but then at the bottom says served with fresh fruits so I assumed that there would be other kinds of fruits too. But that's okay, it was yummy! Can't wait to go back and try the others. Some of the appetizers for lunch and

This is a junk company. It keeps asking is I want to get some updates on everything, every time I go to their website they will somehow start to send me junk every day. Of course I know I did click some buttons on the website, but if I who doesn’t want the newsletter gets the newsletter then it’s really the problem of the design.

I can't emphasize enough how great this place is....

The food itself is amazing especially the Mediterranean Wrap along with the Spring Rolls. Great textures and flavors! If you need TERRIFIC takeout to brush away covid blues then come here!

Easily my favorite place to eat in Columbia because of how simple, healthy, and tasty the food is. I'm not vegan, but this restaurant has me going in that direction now. Delicious!

Looking for a vegan/vegetarian restaurant which offers raw vegan, wraps/sandwiches, fresh juices and even cold-pressed cocktails then look no further than Good Life Cafe on Main Street in Columbia, SC.

They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner with a good variety of menu offerings. I highly suggest you try their buffalo cauliflower bites and their eggplant bacon wrap. The buffalo cauliflower bites are hand battered and tossed in buffalo sauce & their eggplant bacon wrap is made with fresh lettuce, tomato, cucumber, guacamole and cashew mayo, served on your choice of flax wrap, spinach

Glassdoor Wont share reviews about companies if it touches sensitive stuff like religion, race and so on, which is precisely why people want these kind of reviews in the first place about workplaces. Not to mention the spammy attitude from their platform and the non updated ads for jobs, don't waste your time on here.

Unfortunately completely corrupted. You can actually buy some packages (only if the request come from the company account) resulting in poorly rated reviews to be removed and/or replaced by positive one (we used that service with our company, not really expensive).
Glassdoor could be amazing if properly managed and trustfully.
