The hospitality is wonderful, the food is fantastic, and don't even get me started on the burgers--they're so good they deserve their own fan club.

I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did because I don't normally like berry flavored coffees. But since huckleberries are unique to this area, I wanted to take advantage of this flavor and I'm very glad I did! Not too sweet and just a small, perfect amount of tartness. Because it's so small, there only one barista so be patient and tip them well! There's a small pond next door you can walk around with your coffees. Overall, would recommend trying the huckleberry latte!

Here's a polished review that captures your experience while sounding natural and enthusiastic: If I could give Columbia Cafe more than five stars, I absolutely would! I am incredibly picky when it comes to biscuits and sausage gravy, and I can honestly say this was the best I've ever had. The biscuits were homemade, light, and delicious, and the sausage gravy was packed with flavor without being overly salty or greasy. My husband ordered the bacon breakfast sandwich and asked for crispy (not burned) bacon with an over-hard egg. They got it exactly right. Every bite was perfect, and it's rare to find a place that pays such close attention to special requests. The coffee deserves a mention too. It tasted like something you'd get from a specialty coffee shop instead of a typical diner, and it was the perfect way to start the morning. Our server, Amanda, was outstanding. She was friendly, attentive, answered all of our questions, kept our drinks topped off, and even brought me a coffee to go before we left. That extra touch really made us feel appreciated. Columbia Cafe is absolutely the place to go for breakfast. Delicious food, excellent coffee, and exceptional service. We'll be back as often as we can! read more

There is only scrambled of hard cooked egg. ***No yolky eggs*** and no pancakes. We didn't realize coming in. And when we got the cheesy scrambler, the eggs were VERY "wet". Now I don't want to start any rumor but they were very similar to how hotel breakfasts boil bags of prepackaged scrambled eggs then chop it up and serve it. Point being, unsure if they were fresh. I'm pregnant so I was skeptical at first to eat since they were so wet and runny. My husbands chicken fried steak was square. Another indication he thought it was prepackaged frozen. Both came with size of potato's and they were great! Crunchy on outside and soft on inside My toddler got the French toast sticks though and those were so yummy. They gave him crayons and a coloring paper which was nice! High chairs are available. My husband just assumed it all was reheated from the freezer isle. But I'm less difficult to impress, especially for breakfast, and usually he is too just something felt off here. And if the runny eggs didn't make me question than I probably would've never noticed anything. The woman working was so sweet and attentive. Old-school diner feel. It is self seating and you order at the counter. There was only one other couple there with us, not busy at all. Went on a Monday morning.
