The Biscuit is landing: Columbia Five Points breakfast restaurant sets an opening date
A new restaurant that touts its all-day breakfast offerings has set an opening date for a location in Columbia’s Five Points.
The Flying Biscuit Cafe announced on its social media channels that it will open at 936 Harden St. on July 18. The Five Points spot is currently hiring staff, with training tentatively set to start in early July.
Plans for The Flying Biscuit in Columbia have been in the works for some time. Franchisees first announced their intention for a capital city spot back in late 2020.
There currently are Flying Biscuit locations in states across the South, including South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Texas. The restaurant on Harden Street will be the third Flying Biscuit in South Carolina. The other two are in Greenville and Mount Pleasant.
The Flying Biscuit is known for its expansive, all-day breakfast menu that includes omelets, chicken and waffles, stuffed French toast, chorizo hash, grits bowls, eggs Benedict, pancakes and much more. The restaurant also offers a number of non-breakfast items, like burgers, sandwiches, quesadillas and salads.
The coming arrival of The Flying Biscuit continues a recent streak of small business openings in Five Points.
