Red Eye Express Coffee
Located just past TSA, Red Eye Express offers gourmet coffees for both the frequent flyer on the go or the “time to spare” traveler who’d prefer to get a latte and have a chance to sit back and relax before take-off.
Bringing you the best of South Carolina local flavors, Red Eye Express serves coffees, teas, lattes and espresso based drinks, as well as fresh, local bakery treats. Committed to keeping the Midlands beautiful, Red Eye Express also donates compostable waste materials, like coffee grinds, to Columbia’s Riverbanks Zoo and Garden.

Paradies has locations on both sides of the security checkpoint. Pick up a cup of fresh coffee, a quick snack, and something from their collection of locally made gift items.
