Headed over to Town of Lexington, SC for a tasty treat from The Yummy Cakery during Lexington’s Week of Restaurants! 🧁

I got to try the strawberry, maple bourbon, cookies & cream, and red velvet cupcakes—and y’all, they were SO good. Big, fluffy cupcakes with that fresh-made taste… basically everything I love in a cupcake.

And today is the LAST day of Restaurant Week, so if you’ve been meaning to check them out, this is your sign. They’re doing buy 4 jumbo cupcakes, get your 5th limited edition cupcake FREE! 👀

A pretty good reason to grab a few for yourself… or, you know, to share. 😉

Okay Columbia… we have a NEW seafood restaurant to add to the list. 🦪

I got a first taste of Slip 53 during their soft opening this weekend—and I’m already planning my next visit.

This new spot on Saluda Avenue brings an elevated coastal feel to Five Points, with a gorgeous raw bar, fresh oysters, seafood-focused dishes, and some seriously good cocktails.

A few favorites from the night:
🦪 Fresh oysters + house-made sauces
🐟 Hamachi crudo (still thinking about this one!)
🍣 Tuna bombs + shrimp tostada
🦀 Crab & corn fritters
🐟 Pan-seared salmon with curry
🦞 Brown butter lobster ravioli

Honestly, everything we tried was SO good, and the service was phenomenal. I can already see this becoming a new date night / dinner with friends favorite.

Welcome to Columbia, Slip 53 | Opening Soon in Columbia, SC! Five Points just got a little more coastal. 🌊

Let the celebration start here! 🎀✨

I got a little sneak peek at the soft opening party for Petite Party Shop, and I am OBSESSED with this new addition to Devine Street Columbia.

Created by Alexandra Cebry Woodlief Alexandra Madison Weddings - Boutique & Luxury Wedding Planner, Petite Party Shop is basically a little dreamland for anyone who loves a good celebration. 🎉

Think beautifully curated party goods, gorgeous gift wrap, stationery, hostess gifts, ribbons, seasonal goodies, and all the little details that make an occasion feel extra special.

As someone who loves a good party (and a beautifully wrapped gift 👀), this is absolutely my kind of place. Shoutout to The Honey Market for their popup caviar cowboy at the party too 🤠

Congratulations! So excited to watch Petite Party Shop become Columbia’s newest celebration destination. 💕🎀

✨ adds another coffee shop to the weekly rotation ☕️🤭

Spent the morning at The Honey Market and I’m already planning my next visit.

The space feels like a little European escape tucked into Forest Acres—with gorgeous blue interiors, vintage finds, w**e, retail, and a coffee menu that’s anything but ordinary. I mean… a browned butter latte topped with vanilla bean ganache and 24K gold? Say less. ✨

Whether you’re grabbing your morning coffee, meeting a friend, browsing the retail shelves, or winding down with a glass of w**e, this is one of those places you’ll want to hang out for a while.

Congratulations to The Honey Market on their soft opening! I have a feeling this quaint little spot is going to become a Forest Acres favorite. 💛

Finally made it over to Mother’s Oysters + Pies, and it definitely lived up to the hype. We kicked things off with the Avocado Freezie cocktail (trust me on this one 🤌), then shared the Big Poppa pizza, cucumber salad, Campanelle pasta, and crab maldafine—and every bite was better than the last.

Great food, amazing service, creative cocktails, and one of those spots that makes you want to hang out a little bit longer. Safe to say we’ll be back to work our way through the rest of the menu. 🍕 🍝 ✨

Who’s ordering the Avocado Freeze on their next visit?

I’m pretty sure my inner 12-year-old and 36-year-old had an equally great time at WesCo Brew & Bowl 🎳😂

We stopped by the grand opening WesCo Brew and Bowl this week and quickly realized this wasn’t just a bowling alley. Between the arcade games, augmented reality bowling, darts, billiards, food, drinks, private event spaces and outdoor b**r garden, there’s enough here to keep everyone entertained.

Cayce just got a whole lot more fun. Who’s ready for a round? 🎮🍻🎳
