Awesome lunch spot near my office a coworker introduced me to. It's a popular place, but even when there's a line, things move quickly and before I know it, I have my food and am out the door. The space is smallish, but has plenty of seating. I've only ordered with Lisa, and I admire how she strives to remember her patron's names. She's very nice. I've ordered the shrimp salad sandwich every time I've been, and it's always excellent. I think I may up myself to the shrimp salad sub though! Reasonable prices, good customer service, and delicious food. Can't beat it! read more

Excellent! I was in Columbia on a business trip and wanted to grab a sandwich to fill my stomach, without much concern for food quality. To my surprise, a very kind young lady greeted me warmly with a big smile. I ordered an egg sandwich with ham, cheese, and butter, toasted on wheat bread. After just one bite, I was so happy. The delicious food, combined with her kindness, made my morning delightful and joyful. Thanks again, and I hope to stop by again soon. read more

Listen!!! I have been coming to Bi-Bi, previously Jae's, for years! I absolutely LOVE this place! I swear it is like the neighbor deli that you see in the movies!! The staff is awesome, superb customer service! Always friendly, always accommodating, always smiling! I normally call in my order before I come in and the lovely lady on the phone always knows that's it is me. I find it fascinating that she can remember my name! I am sure she remembers other frequent customers too. As for the food, I have tried many items on the menu and everything has been great! But, my go-to, the Buffalo chicken platter with blue cheese! The platter is so tasty! The perfect amount of heat and sweet! The chicken strips are fat and fried perfectly and they give you crinkle fries!! The amount of food they give you for the price is amazing!! If you work in Columbia, visit the beautiful ladies at Bi-Bi on your lunch break! I promise you, you will not be disappointed!

I was here last when they were Jae's and had a really good Brie sandwich but keep missing coming back since I'm rarely here on a weekday. So today I finally got back and it is Bi Bi. The cashier is upbeat even though a queue of hungry people. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries. The five at the grill are very professional with orders just like in chef's kitchens. The fries are good though the burger is really good. They put a bunch of ketchup which I don't use in the bag though if it were out on the counter side customers would likely stock their houses with it. read more

They will greet you with your first name after the first visit, and remember any particular requests/modifications with your order. Food quality is excellent for the price, great portions, very neat and clean shop inside. I hope they are able to move to a better location in the future.

My friend and I tried this place on a whim one day and boy were we not disappointed. I got the chicken tenders and she got the buffalo chicken wrap. Both were absolutely delicious. The tenders were seasoned to perfection and the portion was very generous. The buffalo sauce for the buffalo chicken is also the best combination of sweet, tangy, and spicy. The other day, I also went back for breakfast and got the western omelet platter and can I say, one of the best omelets I've had in a while. The flavor was on point and I don't know what ketchup they use but it's also the perfect blend of tanginess and sweetness. Please do give this place a try when nearby or in need of something to eat for breakfast or lunch. The staff is always so friendly and the food is never disappointing. read more

I have been working in this business park since September but only recently tried Bi Bi Cafeteria during my move to the area. Bi Bi's has been perfect convenient option during a stressful time, where I wasn't able to make and pack my usual lunches. I usually order my food about five minutes before I walk over to pick it up. I have only ordered their BLT sandwich on white toast and salt vinegar chips. The total comes to about $7, and find that it's pretty worth it for convenience and taste. The ratio of bacon to lettuce, tomato, and mayo is perfect. I appreciate their customer service and I plan to try out their breakfast sandwiches and buffalo chicken strips, and fries in the future! read more

Stumbled on this little gem while driving back to New York City with my family. We had to grab a quick lunch before embarking on our long drive up I95. Asked the proprietor what was good and she said that their buffalo chicken strips were a hot item - so I ordered that. I also wanted a little taste of Maryland so I ordered the shrimp wrap (seasoned with old bay) and my wife ordered a philly cheese steak. I was thrilled with the food. The buffalo chicken strips had a spicy AND sweet taste. It wasn't just the same old buffalo sauce...a little twist that makes it different. The philly cheese steak was delicious. Bread had good bite and held the meat well. The meat tasted fresh and well prepared. The shrimp wrap was perfectly seasoned with the right amount of old bay - not too much and not too little. Definitely worth the stop. I am looking forward to getting the food again when we go back down to Maryland. read more

The customer service is great and the drinks come out quick, even during the lunch rush. I'm a simple girl so when I see a croquette, it's going on my tray. Today I opted for a kimchi croquette and I was lucky to get the last one. Thankfully, their holiday drinks are still on the menu and the gingerbread latte was delish. I'm not a coffee drinker but the balance of coffee and sweetness was perfect. 10s across the board!

The presentation was beautiful--colorful, appealing, and the bread stayed firm and crusty. They truly use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Unfortunately, that has changed. Now, hot sandwiches are wrapped in paper and then in foil. This method traps moisture, causing the bread--especially their delicious sourdough--to become soggy instead of crisp. It seems like this change was made to save money, but it really takes away from both the presentation and the quality of the sandwich. For a sandwich that costs $12.95, I would gladly pay a few extra cents for the original packaging if it meant keeping the bread fresh and crusty.

Tip: pack your patience…read more I've been wanting to try Cafe Columbia since I heard they have the option to add ice cream to the crepe. Ice cream with crepes are one of my favorite type of crepes, and that's exactly what I ordered; a crepe with ice cream. I walked in and the cafe was bustling with people enjoying their meal, and the workers preparing meals. It was a full house, however, I was able to grab a table for two. French Toast Crepe: this simple yet tasty crepe fit the bill. It had cinnamon flavor with whipped cream and I opted for a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It didn't come with fruit which I will add next time (yes, there will be a next time). Belgium Waffle: another simple item yet the batter was better than I expected. It didn't come with toppings. It came with a lite dusting of powdered sugar and came with room temperature butter. Chai Latte: this was good on the first sip. It seemed watered down and I would have preferred more flavor. Then again, I'm not a regular drinker of chai latte, and my daughter seemed to enjoy it. So don't count this out. When we ordered the staff gave us a disclaimer the crepe would take about 25 minutes. I didn't mind at the time. It took longer than that; however, I could see the workers constantly working on preparing meals so it didn't bother me. We got the waffle about 25 minutes later so we decided to share both the waffle and crepe. The crepe came out about 20 minutes later. The cafe has a well thought out layout. It has tables on each side, a reading area, and an area with complimentary water next to the coffee/tea station. The little station has water, cups, sugar, napkins and creamer (not pictured because it was packed and constantly occupied). On the other side you'll find more tables, the restrooms, and an ostracized nook that had someone in there occupying the chairs for what seemed like quiet time. Customer service is good. Parking is free in a huge parking lot for the business building. The cafe is located at the front of a shared business building. The menu has a variety of waffles with and without fruit options; crepes made either savory or sweet; and coffee drink options. There is an ice cream bar for scoops of ice cream or milkshakes; and lastly some fruit cups. Overall, I enjoyed the cafe and plan to add it to my list of favorites.

Honestly, they are mainly just opening packages and warming them up, but I will say my chicken salad Sandwich was so good. It's like an elevated cafeteria/vending machine sandwich, but it really really hit the spot. They used to offer slices of bread when dining inside. I remember this from years ago, but they don't do that anymore. The prices here are a little bit more than I remember but again it's a year 2025 but it's a solid little spot for a fast casual lunch.

Tomato Basil Pesto Pasta Salade (Bowl) for $6. This is the best "non-pastry" item I've had here. Generous portion.

Not sure why this location is marked "Permanently Closed". It is definitely open…read more I came here with 2 friends on a Saturday close to 1pm. There were a couple tables open. I got the Hot Mama and a coffee. The coffee was average. But the Hot Mama was pretty good. Not sure how to describe it aside from being a flavor bomb. I don't think the grits were particularly cheesy but there was cheese somewhere on the biscuits. It seemed like the owner knew some of the regulars. She came out from behind the counter when she was done making drinks to check on customers. Overall, I would come back to try some more items on the menu.

There was a glitch today with the delivery of my order to the table. Two out of four were served, then they came with the third order. When I thought mine was coming, it was my husband's extra sides and last minute potatoes. Lately the waitress noticed that I had no food and checked. My order was the French toast and bacon, which is why it felt like a glitch and we'll be back. It's gonna be alright

When I pulled up to the drive-thru, the barista asked for my order. I let her know I had a mobile…read moreorder and provided my name. She told me to hold on, then came back after about 90 seconds and said, "Well, you only placed the order two minutes ago, it's not ready yet, but you can pull around." That response was completely unnecessary. A simple, courteous response such as "We're still working on it, please pull around" or "Got it, pull around" would have been much more appropriate. After waiting about 10 minutes in line, I finally reached the window. She handed me the drink, and when I asked to speak to a manager, she rolled her eyes. I explained the situation to the manager, who then claimed there was a "new policy" stating all mobile orders take at least 12 minutes and that the app should reflect that. Suspicious, I contacted Starbucks corporate, who confirmed--as I suspected--that no such policy exists. The manager lied directly to me. No apologize nothing, but a made up "new policy Never visiting this location again!

I've had plenty of Americanos and breakfast sandwiches from Starbucks. My breakfast sandwich was cold and my Americano wasn't made correctly. It's usually steeping hot.
