    Buffalo chicken tenders, fries and celery
    Stephaney S.

    My coworkers recommended this place! The food took 6 minutes to finish even though there was a long line of people ordering. The food is to die for!! The chicken is so good the sauce is not super spicy and the fries are made to perfection. The people at the counter are so nice and the cafeteria is super clean and lively! Love love love

    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.

    Buffalo Chicken Platter with Blue Cheese
    Deanna D.

    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! Tell them Deanna sent ya'!

    Great selection for lunch.  Friendly staff.  Check out the menu.

    Good food, clean and cozy dining area, and friendly service. Prices are lower than similar local places! Good value!

    Best Western Omelette in HoCo!!! Never burnt. Shrimp Special on Weds and Fridays are amazing! Awesome Buffalo Tenders.

    Fried Shrimp platter (Friday's only). This was a takeout order.

    cafe columbia - Crepes Suzette at Cafe Columbia

    cafe columbia

    4.7(54 reviews)

    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.

    Libraries closed for the holiday and I have some work to do. Also, I could eat. Haha. I stayed for…read morea little over 90 minutes. In that time, I sipped on my drink. Then enjoyed a delicious crepe. The staff is friendly, especially to regulars. 'Hmmmm, do I want to become a regular'? Anywho, I forgot my headphones and the conversations were so quiet that I could focus. I highly recommend this cute local cafe!

The workers are all fun to interact with and will speak French to your kids. The bathrooms even enroll you in French class with a basic vocabulary track playing. I learned to count to 5 just by going to wash my hands. The food is true to a French bistro, the drinks are better than Panera or Starbucks, and the pastries.... Don't even get me started on the pastries. They are swoon worthy. Better than any bakery in the area. The croissants are perfectly buttery. I didn't get it this time, but the ham and cheese danish is by far my favorite thing they have. La Madeline is a must try.

There were so many people so it took a little longer to get my lunch. I was really disappointed in their very famous tomato soup. Honestly, I saw them open a plastic container of the soup and put it into a heater so nothing is made there and it makes sense. 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.

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.
