Cottontown is an awesome well established historic neighborhood that is within a mile of the downtown business district of Columbia. We love this hood so much that we also call it home and live a few blocks away. There are so many friendly people in Cottontown, don't be surprised if folks wave or stop and chat with you if you decide to talk a stroll or walk to one of the several local businesses within a block or two of your door. Our personal favorites are, well, everything! Make sure to stop in at The Cottontown Brew Lab for one of their many specialty craft beers or swing into Indah Coffee for a cup their specialty roasted cafes. The War Mouth is our favorite spot for a nice sit down dinner and cocktails, make sure to try their deviled eggs with their homemade hot sauce, they won't disappoint! Rambo's Fat Cat Biscuits is the newest eatery to open in our neighborhood and they offer take-out and eat-in delicious sinfully good biscuits! Il Focolare pizza is also a short stroll away and no need to tip, every employee is paid a living wage at this local 90s themed female owned business (SmallSugar is a short drive away and under the same ownership). Curiosity Coffee has a great little spot with local merchandise for purchase and plenty of brews, drinks and of course, coffee. We love the Vino Garage and they regularly schedule food trucks and pop-ups in their parking lot, so stop in for the perfect wine / beer dinner pairings! Vegan?
