Great for Breakfast. Would avoid late lunch or dinner if you are not into the burlesque / drag queen scene. Service was great, wait staff was very kind and helpful. Eclectic vibe with comfort food breakfast cooking. read more

One of my favorite places to grab breakfast in CoMO but not necessarily on the weekends because of the long waits for a table. The staff is friendly and the service is always good. Delicious food you can tell is homemade with quality ingredients. I typically get a Bloody Mary & the Eggs Benedict with. sautéed spinach. The hollandaise sauce is killer so I get extra. Bloody Mary mix is house made. This is a not-to-be-missed dining spot. read more

Friendly service and extensive menu. I ordered the Mediterranean breakfast plate. Was pretty delicious, though the eggs were a little dry. My son had the biscuits and gravy, which he said were okay. read more

Food was good, but the prices have increased significantly since visiting two years ago. Be prepared to bring a heavy pocketbook. The service was good. Reservations are taken at the door when you arrive so sometimes there is a line. The vibe is industrial with booths and tables. read more

This place is a must whenever we're in Columbia, MO! We found this place last year when we were invited for a birthday breakfast, so when we went back to Columbia this year, we went again! It is a cozy restaurant with ample seating inside. We had a group of 6 and were able to accommodate us easily! For the food, most of us got breakfast items which consisted of pancakes and sausages. I had chocolate chip pancakes that were super delicious! The food was so good, there were no left overs! I would recommend checking this place out if you're in the area! The people are super friendly and the food is really good! read more

Easy to see why this spit is popular. Plenty of seating both in and outside under a covered roof. Service is efficient, fast and friendly. Breakfast and lunch menu offers something for everyone whether you're looking for a unique dish or a simple one. Generous portions and delicious. read more

Liked everything. Good speciality coffees. Innovative food slightly different from the plain norms - enough to make it tasty and interesting. Good service, too. read more

A lovely new aged gem with varied food for all folks who come and visit. As a younger individual I can be very thankful to the freedom the waiters have in their clothing freedom, the unisex bathrooms, colors and fun environment. I think the prices were a bit high but the quality of food was too, and a single meal was very filling. I have no advice for this business to improve because I think they are doing a great job and I would be brought back here to try something else on the menu. read more

We came in for trivia, which was fun. But my rating is for the food specifically. It was just okay, nothing special. The service was good overall. Ambiance is like a simple diner with a bar. - Mac n cheese (2.5/5): Not great, not seasoned well. Just tasted bland overall. - Pulled pork sandwich (3/5): Lots of meat, but a bit dry and lacked flavor. It was a good portion size though. read more

Food was delicious. Salsa matched the food perfectly. Veggies were soft but toasty. I ordered a dirty hippie (chai latte with espresso) and it was so good! I would order everything again and I'm excited to go back. We visited Sunday around 11am, it was pretty busy but only waited 5-10 minutes for a table for 2. Service was great and food came out pretty fast! read more

We went to listen to a friend play onstage. It was busy but not overcrowded. They only had one staff in the kitchen which could have been better planned, but the food was excellent and worth the wait. It was a small well lit bar, with good drinks and very friendly staff. read more

Cafe Berlin has remained a very popular place for breakfast in columbia well before and well after my time at Mizzou. If looking for breakfast on the weekend, you'll want to arrive prior to opening to ensure you get a table quickly If not, there will likely be a line and a wait. But don't fret, you can have some coffee from the drip bar to get started before being seated. It was always known as a bit of a "hippie" place when I was a student and the vibe and food reflect that in the best way possible. Fresh, local ingredients bring their traditional breakfast dishes to life and fresh squeezed juices are the foundation of their drinks. They have vegetarian options like their sage-based gravy that may be meatless but do not sacrifice any of the flavor. The service is always really good, as you typically find college students and young locals there doing their best to earn a buck. They have a stage where they used to have a lot of live music, but I am not sure if that is something they still do or not. They added outdoor seating several years back that helped with wait times and enjoying the nice weather. Next time you find yourself in columbia, but it on your list as a great place to enjoy a hearty breakfast! read more

Fantastic brunch spot with items you don't see everywhere. Try the A&S or Butch Jones!

A must-stop whenever I'm back in Columbia! I love the laid-back, eclectic vibe, the food is always delicious and the staff are super friendly. My go-to is the Apples and Sausage--such a unique combo I never knew existed, and I can't find it anywhere else! read more

I was a regular customer at Cafe Berlin when I lived in Columbia and was excited to visit on a trip back - I loved it then and it's even better now! We stopped by for an early brunch and were seated quickly in their large dining space. The veggie scramble and breakfast burrito were both fantastic and the roasted potato side was a standout. The breakfast burrito had both regular and sweet potatoes - a delightful surprise! Definitely put this on your Columbia MO list!! read more

What an amazing experience my gf and I had here today. Everything, everything was great. The service was phenomenal. (Thanks Oksana!) The coffee and espresso; fantastic! And then there was the food. Some of the best I have had all year. We ordered the Eggs Florentine and the pulled pork hash. Both were completely different and perfect. The hash was a mix of sweet and white potatoes with jalapeños, peppers and onions and chock full of pulled pork. Served with a chipotle aioli AND a sweet apple sauce. All topped with a perfectly poached egg. It was so bright and full of flavor you could not believe it! The Eggs Florentine were perfectly cooked over an exceptional English muffin and topped with hollandaise sauce. The subtle notes of garlic and spinach just blended perfectly within richness of the eggs and sauce. The complete opposite of the other dish and yet still perfectly considered. You may have to wait to get a table but it is beyond worth it in my opinion. Go there at once! read more

We love Cafe Berlin. It is an experience for the ambience and just enjoying a meal. They have amazing breakfast and brunch. They usually close at 2 PM every day. Perfect brunch spot in Columbia, we love the breakfast specials like the breakfast tacos and the phenomenal pancake with apples and sausage. We also love enjoying a good euro there as well. Love the variety, quality, and service! read more

Great Mediterranean breakfast that will not disappoint! Atmosphere: very lively atmosphere it was packed when we came on a sunday morning. luckily we were able to get one of the last tables available. Very cool eclectic decor very bright and warm feeling inside. From the disco ball to the random mugs.. awesome Food: Biscuit & gravy - $4 - perfectly crispy biscuit and some really good sausage gravy.. loved this! Carey Burrito - $10 - 2 Eggs, Feta, grilled apples, potatoes, Tzatziki. Bursting with flavor, eggs cooked perfectly loved the mild feta and the grilled potatoes with perfectly seasoned.. the apples honestly were unnecessary but didn't hurt the overall flavor. Mediterranean Breakfast - $11 hummus,Cherry tomatoes, Olives, scrambled eggs with feta with grilled pita. My daughter absolutely LOVED this dish, this is not easy to find in MO as a whole. So much lighter then something with meat and it's a huge dish. Sauce Tip: Absolute MUST to get the Tzatziki SOOOO GOOD Drinks: Coffee - Good Coffee, loved the different mugs everyone had. Its just something small that gives you the eating at home but not cooking yourself feeling Price: Extremely affordable Parking: Smaller lot for free with some additional street parking and an additional lot available not sure if its a charge though across the street. Service: The absolute nicest staff. The waiters, the busboys, the cooks, the cashier, the host. An amazing breakfast place we will frequent for sure! read more

Ok legit good breakfast. We tried a few things, all very good. Fun vibe for breakfast and we had great service too. I'm a fan of any place that can crush a classic breakfast and they had some of the best breakfast potatoes I've ever had here. read more

This is my third trip to Mizzou this year and third attempt to eat here. Finally open and got a table. It's great. The eclectic interior and staff, Jurassic Park playing on a TV in the sofa area, the stage, the full bar, the old steel pipe railings, hot sauces at every table including siracha, metal water cups and ceramic coffee cups, auper friendly staff and great food, all combine to make a 5-star experience. I got the breakfast sandwich and a side salad. Salads with light dressing are my new thing at breakfast, and theirs is simple and very good. The whole thing was great, including the grilled onion and mushrooms. Wife got her usual mushroom omelette and loved it. This place just works. Lots of families, couples and even a table of nurses or doctors still in their s rubs from the night shift. I'd like to come back at night and see hiw the band vibe is. I will also definity be back for breakfast. read more

Came back a second time bc that's how much I loved it the first time around. Honestly I should have gotten the same thing as last time but I wanted to be adventurous. Sadly I wasn't a fan of the Starving artist. I did however like their freshly made orange juice with ginger and preferred my seating this time around as well. Tip: ask to be seated a little more further inside. Gives you a more cozy feeling :) Worth the wait. We waited about 10mins on a football Sunday read more

We decided to come to Cafe Berlin on a whim around 12:00pm on a Saturday. All I can say is WOW! We were pleasantly surprised! We ordered the huevos rancheros and one of their special's: the Elvis Presley French toast. The rice could have been cooked just a tad-bit longer, but the combination of the salsa, black beans, and eggs, cilantro together is delicious! Some avocado would have tipped it right over the top. The Elvis Presley French toast was huge! This French toast has four slices of thick toast, slathered with peanut butter with bacon and bananas sandwiched between the toast, and a drizzle of honey on top. You can definitely share this with someone to avoid the sugar coma afterward, but it is amazing. The food came out quickly and hot! Service was quick, patient, and friendly. All the staff seemed to be in a good mood and the vibe of the restaurant itself is pretty chill. The total came out to about $30 for 2 folks and that seems reasonable for the portions. Overall, both dishes were phenomenal! Looking forward to another visit in the future! read more

Great food and service! Really liked the vegetarian biscuits and gravy. The gravy was amazing!

Met up with some friends for a first time visit for lunch. I ordered the Paulie Salad which had a nice mix of greens, onion, roasted walnuts, and strawberries with blue cheese crumbles. The Tahini dressing adds a nice zing to the salad. Another ordered the cheeseburger which looked real tasty. The atmosphere is lively and if the place gets crowded, it can be somewhat noisy. But, overall, it's a great place for breakfast or lunch just a bit north of downtown CoMo. read more

Quirky and cool breakfast / brunch spot in downtown Columbia! We first stumbled upon Cafe Berlin when stopping in town for coffee while on a road trip to STL. When my husband and I decided to stay in CoMo a night, it wasn't hard to decide on Cafe Berlin for brunch! Started with a few iced coffees, a mocha for him and a maple latte for me. Apparently the bar forgot to add the maple, but our waitress brought it over basically right after delivering our coffee! Looked like a solid cocktail menu, but with a drive back to KC ahead we skipped the drinks for nows. It was a tricky choice in terms of picking an entree, but I ended up with the Big Boi sandwich. It certainly lived up to it's name! The biscuit was fantastic. The combo of egg, ham, apple, feta, picked onion, and tzatzki was a unique balance of sweet and savory. Definitely too big to fit in my mouth as a sando, so a fork and knife for the win! The husband had a basic breakfast with sausage, potatoes, eggs, and a side of biscuits and gravy. The B&G was drowning in gravy -- which made for a good dipping option for my side of potatoes. Also, don't sleep on the roasted potatoes -- I want to know the secret to their seasoning blend! Parking was a little tricky - the lot was full, but we found parking (paid) just around the corner. We did have a short wait for table - we didn't want one right by the door, as with the opening and closing it would have been very chilly! read more

One of my favorite places in Columbia! I have never had a bad meal here but my absolute favorite is the Carey Burrito! Simple in ingredients but so freaking tasty! Eggs, roasted potatoes, apple, feta and cilantro with tzatziki sauce on the side. Ask for an extra tzatziki sauce. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is eclectic and cute. You might be in for a little wait on the weekends but they get it cycled through pretty quickly and you can usually wait outside on their covered patio. read more

Best brunch spot in Columbia, MO! Great service, food and ambience. Iced Dirty Hippie & The Walt are menu favorites for me!

While driving through we were looking for a place for a decent lunch, and we were surprised when we found this non-standard sandwich shop. They serve sandwiches made from fresh baked bread, fresh made dressing, and other fresh ingredients. With a great portion size and fair prices, this ended up being not just a standard lunch, but pretty awesome. The Cuban was delicious, perfectly seasoned, and melted to perfection. With meat eater, vegetarian, and vegan options available, you are sure to fine something fitting of your diet that also melts in your mouth and makes you smile. read more

Service | Quality | Potatoes (COVID) Service: Probably the worst service ever. First, the website said the restaurant would open at 8 am. We arrived at 8:45 am, and they were closed. Their staff came out and said, "sorry, we won't open until 9 am." Therefore, our visit started on the wrong foot. Despite being the first customers on 4 July weekend, many of the options on the menu were not available, making our experience even worse. Quality: One of the reasons we chose the restaurant is because they tout their vegan/vegetarian options. Monica made a few Vegan changes, and when the meal came out, multiple dishes had meat in them. Therefore, we had to send three of the four things she ordered back. Potatoes: THESE WERE AMAZING. If it weren't for the Potatoes, this place would have gotten 1 star. I'm hoping this was just an issue with the current COVID environment. But, based on my initial experience, I will not be going back until the restaurant is open to business as usual. read more
