Since 1992, Lakota Coffee Co. has been providing the Columbia community with delicious coffee and a wonderful ambiance for relaxation, studying or catching up. “Columbia is such a great community to live in; we have a very loyal small business following within the community, and that is wonderful to see,” says Andrew DuCharme, the general manager and part-owner of Lakota Coffee. But Lakota serves more than just coffee. They provide fresh beans roasted in-house for customers to enjoy.

“That is something that we take extreme pride in,” DuCharme says. “We have been working with several coffee importers for many years to bring us the best coffee that money can buy. They employ experts who make sure that we continue to get the very best of the best!”

Along with the fresh coffee, Lakota would not be a well-known coffee staple of our community without the dedicated work of its team. “We would not be able to keep Columbia caffeinated without our wonderful staff members,” DuCharme says. “They truly are amazing with their smiles and dedication.”

Winning Silver for Best Coffee in Best of Columbia 2025 is a huge honor for DuCharme and his team. “Keeping Columbia fueled is what we do,” he says. “We greatly appreciate everyone who voted for us, and we hope to see you again soon.”
