Motor Supply Company Bistro
Coffee · Columbia, SC
About
"Motor" to locals, this bistro occupies a renovated engine supply building from the late 1800s on the National Register of Historic Places, recognizable by its original 1930s neon sign. The menu changes twice daily, and the kitchen makes everything from charcuterie to mustard in-house. It's a farm-to-fork pioneer in Columbia's Vista district, with a solid-oak bar imported from Europe and a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.
Sunday brunch is especially popular, and you'll find a heated patio and free valet parking. It's a great spot to start a night out in the Vista, especially if you're heading to Tsunami for sushi later.
