I will say it's pricey but I mean what do you expect for high-quality yummy desserts. The donuts filled with some type of seasonal filling is my fav! The drinks there are also worth trying. My favorite was the tiramisu ice coffee (I think that's what it's called). Onlyyyyy thing I would say is the seating, not much seating for the amount of people who go but nonetheless still great spot.

When I saw matcha on the menu, I knew I had to check this place out! There were unique flavors…read moreranging from pistachio matcha (for taste of Dubai ) to honey lavender matcha (if you're needing a sip of relaxation). I enjoyed how fresh and cohesive the flavors were! There's also a variety of pastries offered. These are baked in their Columbia location and brought to Arundel Mills. I was intrigued by the variety of savory treats, some topped with cheese and beef, others with vegetables. I was also delighted to see macaroons, that looked pretty authentic. With all the solid options present, I landed in a pistachio donut! Now, I will say I had a bit higher expectations for the donut. The donut itself was delicious, but I would have appreciated more pistachio throughout the cream in the center or maybe even skipping out on the cream altogether. Overall I think it was certainly worth a try. The matcha, for sure, stole the show! I will be back to try another flavor of matcha and a savory pastry!

Parking wasn't ideal, the nearby parking garage was very compact and difficult to maneuver. There is some street parking in front, but it was all taken when we visited. I ordered the Lavender Matcha Latte along with some desserts and ice cream. All items came out quickly and just as ordered. I don't have a bad thing to say about the menu. There is plenty of seating inside, making it a great option for dessert with large groups. We had 7 adults and 2 kids with no issues finding seating during our visit. The staff were kind enough to make conversation with my toddler. I appreciated their patience as I encouraged him to order for himself at the counter. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely come back if I am ever back in the area again :)

The matcha swirl is the perfect way to end a meal when you're in the merriweather area for dinner. I also enjoy the hojicha flavor but it sometimes has a slight grainy texture.

I came in today because there was a BOGO offer on handcrafted beverages and I couldn't place an order on the mobile app for the other two nearby locations that I frequent, but was able to at this location. I ordered an Iced Caffe Mocha for my hubby and a Blended Strawberry Creme Frappe. The app said it would take 5-7 minutes to prepare, however, it took longer. When I arrived my husband's drink was on the counter; however, it took a few minutes before mine was prepared which was surprising because they weren't that busy. I haven't had the Strawberry Creme before that I can remember and I absolutely loved it. It may just be one of my new favorite drinks! Some helpful info about this location: -drive-thru is available -designated drive-thru overflow parking -Mobile Order Pick-Up and DoorDash and UberEats -Personal Cups now available. I love this idea to go green! -Three patio tables available.

It's the only Starbucks that I've experienced them using these weird textured paper cups at for cold drinks. They also make my drink taste gross.

Why is this the only location with these awful cups?

The Pistachio Latte looked good so we got one hot, one iced so we could share & try the two variations. We asked for almond milk in the lattes. Fitting: pistachios & almonds together. Both were really good. Can really taste the pistachio flavour after stirring the latte. We'll keep Qaffee House in mind whenever we're in the area. Side note: I found their logo quite clever artistically. It made sense after I looked at the name "Qaffee House" and back to logo. The cup is the Latin letter "q" and the symbol with the two dots is the Arabic equivalent to "q", the Qaf (ق). And this leads to Arabic word for coffee: "qahwa". Nicely done blend of languages.

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.

The meals are mediocre at best. Tremendously Constant staff changeover is also a "telling" sign though some is normal in this industry. Example: ordered Chicken pesta pasta...could not eat it. One bite and I knew there was a problem in the kitchen. The chef hadn't a clue. They no longer served the once selectable bread sticks and replaced them with a dry croissant which has nothing to do with pests. Could not taste a hint of pests, noodles were overcooked and drowning in a milky, soupy liquid. No thanks. I'm done. No more La Madeleine for me. Shortcuts. Bad food.

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.

I ordered the avocado toast with eggs, and I swear it was an entire avocado on the bread! It had been sprinkled with just a bit of sea salt, and the bread was a thick, wholesome slice. I also ordered a specialty side order, a lemon blueberry cake of some sort. It is seasonal, apparently, and super decadent, heaped with butter. All good. I was able to pay at the table with my phone, the other option is to go to the counter, diner style. The parking lot had plenty of spaces. The restaurant is in a strip mall setting, with a few other options nearby. The hours are limited, I think I read they close at 2:30, so not a dinner spot.
