The Honey Market Columbia SC is bringing an entirely new coffee, wine, and shopping experience to Forest Acres. In this episode of The Soda Citizen Podcast, Brad and Mary Lane sit down with owner Grace Berger to hear why she left a decade-long career in law to bring her longtime business dream to life. 

Located on Forest Drive, The Honey Market combines a coffee and wine bar, gourmet market, and housewares shop in one thoughtfully designed space. Grace shares the childhood fascination that inspired the business’s name, why Forest Acres was always the right location, and what it took to open a small business in the community where she grew up. 

We also taste the Velvet King, a Coca-Cola drink made with a coffee ice sphere and house-made vanilla syrup, and hear about some of the market’s most unexpected creations—including a brown butter latte topped with 24-karat gold and a miso caramel latte.
