    Soul Rolls and Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Ben M.

    I can't wait to return and try more items on the menu. This place is a gem and representative of what Columbia needs to be. Menu is all your cafe standards with a section devoted to soul food. We got the soul rolls and the fried chicken sandwich. Both were very good. The sandwich was very flavorful. I liked the soul rolls as well, but wish some of the individual ingredients came through a little more. Someone else in our party got the loaded breakfast omelet and was very happy with it. The space is bright, modern, and inviting. It's clear the owner, who checked on us during our meal, is passionate about the food. She and all the staff who cared for us are top-notch.

    So happy we found this place exploring Columbia! Seriously the owner is the sweetest and truly has a passion for what she does! I would 100% recommend the chicken & waffles, the grits are incredible, and the Cajun omelette was fantastic! If in the area, check this place out. Truly a gem!! I wish this cafe was close to home, I would definitely be a regular!

    Wonderful little spot in Columbia, PA! Christian music and amazing service!!! Wish we were here another day just come again and hang out more!! And the coffee was hot and tasty. Delightful woman helping us decide on drinks, bright (but not obnoxious) environment, good looking snacks, and wholesome signage and encouraging thoughts around the place. Kitchy!

    Food was absolutely fantastic! Wonderful blend of flavors. Atmosphere is comfortable and friendly. Feels more like a gathering place where anybody can come in and enjoy a good meal. Met Laurie, the owner, Who is obviously proud to be part of the community. I live in Lancaster but drive up here just to have their food! On the first and third Sundays of the month, she has live music as well.

    I have been wanting to go here since for awhile. Thanks to my 2 friends, finally made it there today. Very relaxing atmosphere. Food choices were excellent. Latte wasn't strong enough for me. Will definitely be back.

    Great ingredients served cold - breakfast was cold coffee, cold potatoes and cold omelette. Such a shame.

    While I did have some trouble finding this place via my GPS, I am so thankful I kept looking…read more I tried the Mojo Cuban for $8, which was a fantastic combination of delicious flavored pork, ham, pickle, cheese, mustard and mayo. I personally would prefer more cheese and less mayo, but that's just me. The real winner for me was the Green Machine Wrap. Tasty fresh spinach, roasted red peppers, sautéed 'shrooms, hummus and goat cheese in a wrap. While I did not get much of a taste of the goat cheese (Maybe overpowered by the hummus?), this wrap was absolutely delicious! $6, too! Service was quick through the Airstream window. Two containers of a Mediterranean-type salad were included. I can't wait to try more items from the lunch menu as well as breakfast! Yum!

    I just moved back to Hershey after spending 4 years in Southern California working on a MS in Food…read moreScience, I was also a trained sensory panelist at Taco Bell's HQ. Being in that area I was obviously surrounded by great food and amazing tacos. Since being back, I've had a craving for tacos and what the area has to offer just does not satisfy....until I had the Sprout Stream tacos by Sven. Amazing tacos at a great price and great flavors with balanced spices of heat and sweet. I tried their shredded Korean beef and kalua pork tacos. The shredded beef had a great balance of beef and spices with the cool slaw to add a layer of crunch over the tender beer. The pork tacos had the classic Hawaiian sweet flavors offset with some pickles onion for a great balance of flavors. The tacos weren't light on the meat either, so a delicious filling meal, at a great price! .
