Reviews for Kaminsky's Dessert Cafe in Columbia, SC
Kaminsky?s is so cute with such a friendly atmosphere. I?ve tried several of their drinks and desserts. The cake is almost... always dry and seems a few days old and never fresh. The few drinks I?ve had there I have not liked, except the milkshakes! It?sa great atmosphere but not great food in my opinion! I keep giving it another shot because everyone loves it, maybe I?m orderingthe wrong things? Staff is always nice tho! Read more
We ordered a red velvet and roulette white cake for dessert through delivery. We received two big slices of cake and shared... them. The white cake had peanut butter and jelly filling with peanuts... I hate peanuts. The white cake was good though. Thecream cheese icing on the red velvet cake was super sweet and a little overpowering. The cake was really good. We are packing tomove but plan to visit the area again. Kaminsky's remains on our list of places to go. Read more

I had to take a moment and struggle with how I would present this. I was just going to ignore it and not post a review but the... overwhelming feeling of highway robbery and poor quality just sits there as a poor taste in my mouth. It was my wife?s birthdayand she wanted a Coconut Cream Pie instead of a birthday cake. Having spent many years of my life in the Great Lakes andMidwest, I have had the pleasure of experiencing world class pies. One such place is Mama Joe?s Pies in Amherst, Ohio. Theyhave been making pies for more than 35 years and continually expand their shop to accommodate the demand. On any given day theyoffer more than 20 varieties of pieces and sell hundreds per day but I digress. I found the Kaminsky website and was floored tosee them asking $30 for a single 9? pie. That is more money than I have ever seen any place ask for a single pie but afterreading reviews and ratings, I figured this must be one world class pie. By was of comparison, the same Mama Joe?s Piescurrently offers her 9? Coconut Cream Pie (a full 9? pie that stands no less than 4? tall) for just $15.50. While I wasn?texcited about spending $30 for a single pie, it was my wife?s birthday and I would do anything to ensure she was happy. Icalled and placed the order only to find out that the $30 prices they were advertising on their website had been raised 10% dueto inflation making it now $33. Because I knew my grandkids would not appreciate the Coconut Cream I went ahead and orderedtheir signature ?Tollhouse? Pie for a total of $66 for 2 pies. I placed the order for pickup on the Saturday before Easter. The person told me pickup was after 4PM. I went to collect the pies. The pleasant counter person asked my name and asked me torepeat my order. She left and returned with 2 typical pie boxes, 10?x6?. I walked to my car and let my wife see a peak of thepies. We were both completely mortified. Instead of nice full 9? pieces, they had taken a typical 9? alumin Read more
While eating at Pearlz we noticed a walk through to a Dessert place next door. We found out that the owner owns both places so... figured, why not give it a try as our dinner experience was so good. Regretfully it was in not as good as Pearlz. Found seatingand ordered Hot Chocolate, Flavored Coffee and a Decaffeinated Cappuccino, Birthday and Chocolate Cake and NY Cheesecake.Service was ok but a bit cold as were all the coffee's and warm chocolate 2 ?. The Birthday Cake seemed a bit old 2 ? with theChocolate Cake and Cheesecake ok 4 ?. I regretfully cannot recommend this place but leave it up to you to decide. Read more
Found this spot looking for a bakery. I did take out and the sweet lady, Brianna, assisted me with everything. It was difficult... selecting what to get. I got the toasted marshmallow drink. For the cakes I got flutter butter, bailey red velvet, cheesecakeand biscoff cake. The biscoff one was my favorite. I ate a small peice of them all and they were not a disappointment. The otherdrinks were so unique I hate I couldn't try them. Location is good for a 1st date. Read more
This is Columbia?s best local, late night/special occasion dessert cafe. They have a revolving menu of desserts, great coffee... and specialty drinks as well as a prime location close to all the downtown and Vista excitement. My go-to is their key lime piebut there are so many to choose from, you?ll never be bored! Highly recommend going here when bringing out of town visitors orjust because - but watch out they get busy on weekends. Even with a packed restaurant, we had good service. Read more
Overall a fun desert location in downtown cola. We enjoyed a late Friday night visit here with friends in town for the weekend.... They were very busy when we arrived, as they are located in a trendy part of town, but we were seated quickly. Orderedcappuccino, hot chocolate, berry cobbler and GF raspberry lemon poppy seed cake slice. Everything was quite tasty, service morethan satisfactory, but 4.5 stars for the music volume making it almost too hard to converse. Read more
