Pumpkin season is here. We understood the assignment. 🎃🥞☕

Pumpkin Pancakes, made with pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg, mixed fresh in our cafés, and topped with hand-whipped Cinnamon Sugar Butter. Because regular butter in fall is for the birds. Wash that down with a Brown Sugar Pumpkin Latte: Two shots of espresso, pumpkin spice, house-made brown sugar syrup, and our signature crème anglaise. Topped with whipped cream, because it's bulking season!

Made from scratch, packed with fall flavor, and here for a good time—not a long time. 🍂

FALL into Flying Biscuit in @fivepointssc to get your Pumpkin Fix!

Thank you @discoveratlfood for the visit and photos :) taken in Flying Biscuit Cafe - Five Points, Columbia SC by @colatoday

What if your next lottery ticket could help a student get closer to a college degree? 🎓

In Fiscal Year 2026, the @sclottery transferred $606.8 million to education, helping support scholarships like LIFE, HOPE, and Palmetto Fellows.

That means someone you know — maybe a neighbor, a friend, or even your own child — could be benefiting. Learn more in today’s newsletter. #partner by @colatoday

Every platelet donation has the potential to make a lifesaving difference. ❤️

@thebloodconnection helps provide platelets for patients undergoing cancer treatment, surgeries, transplants, and other serious medical care. And because platelets have a short shelf life, maintaining a steady supply depends on people willing to donate.

What does platelet donation involve? How does it differ from a whole blood donation? Learn more about the need for platelets and what to expect in today’s newsletter. #partner by @colatoday
