The Strudel Shop

Amazing experience!!! We randomly popped in for a quick snack & we’re treated to a 5 star tasting experience by the Chef/Owner!!

There was a large food tour group in there but he welcomed us in & sat us by the kitchen. He immediately started providing all sorts of samples etc. HIGHLY RECOMMEND the new pizza strudel. The tomato bisque was amazing with grilled cheese strudel.

The Star though was the Berry & Cream Cheese Strudel!!!! Flaky crust, rich cream, & perfectly sweet berries. Not overly sweet & perfect with a fresh made espresso drink.

I would highly recommend checking them out.

The BEST strudel! We stumbled upon this shop while exploring downtown. It’s a lovely little bakery with great service and even more amazing baked goods and lunch items. They have an assortment of strudel options. We tried the Berry Cream Cheese and the Apple Cinnamon, and both were DELICIOUS! Everything else in the shop looked great, we will come back again to try more!

We went to the strudel shop today for dessert. The owner was exceptionally gracious to myself and my children. We were able to watch how the strudel was made! Despite a large party coming in, the staff ensured that we were well taken care of. The food was delicious and we will certainly return in the future. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!!

Don’t pass this place up! My son and I are visiting from the Upstate and stopped in here yesterday. I was a little confused about where to order and what was available BUT Kevin, the owner, greeted me and told me what was available and our experience from there was fantastic. We ordered a cinnamon roll (amazing) for myself and a chocolate mousse cupcake for my son. I wanted coffee and Kevin let me know he makes a delicious, organic, espresso drink so I ordered the mocha latte….YALL, it was the best I’ve ever had. My son had a hot chocolate with his cupcake and loved it. Kevin took extra time to engage with my son, and even showed him how to play a few keys on the piano. My son said it was the best day ever and raved all evening about how awesome the experience was. I couldn’t stop thinking about the food, the mocha, and how good the savory strudel looked so I drove 20 minutes from our hotel BACK to The Strudel Shop again today lol I had a lunch strudel that was so flaky and filled with spinach, cheese, and onion. SO GOOD. I had another mocha because I was absolutely craving it. And then ordered a berry & cream cheese strudel and an Apple cinnamon strudel to-go for later. Every single thing was delicious and you can tell the owner is genuinely “good people”. I’ll be visiting every time I’m in the area!

The food is absolutely fantastic some of the best I’ve ever had. The sandwich on house made bread is super high quality and super well made. The strudel is fantastic and is happiness in a baked good. As good as the food is the service might be even better. Chef Kevin is super friendly, super attentive, and has awesome stories to tell. We even took the Strudel class with him and learned so many behind the scenes chef tips and tricks. This is a true hidden gem of the Columbia area and a must stop spot.

It was awesome. They have vegetarian savory strudels as well. The apple strudel I had was not too sweet. It's overall rich and buttery. Loved it. Will go here again and again. They also have a shop in the soda city market on Saturdays

Incredible. The aroma of the fresh strudel draws you in and starts to prepare you for the great food. The food was so outstanding that we visited 3 times over a 3 day period. This was the best strudel we have ever eaten and given my family origins that is a high compliment. The crust was flaky, the berries were fresh, and the cream had just the right amount of sweetness. The breakfast egg and cheese as well as spinach strudel were similarly outstanding. The chef and owner and all the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. It is a family affair. At one point the owner's family ran the front of the house providing individual service while their mothers also ate the delicious strudel coming out of the ovens.

My daughter enjoyed her coffee. I was impressed by all the special sodas. The sherbet was a real blast of fruit.

We look forward to returning and getting our next serving. Thank you for great meals and friendly welcoming service.

Great ingredients; great service; tasty food

Went to The Strudel Shop today and was blown away by their decadent freshly made desserts! I tried both their Apple Cinnamon strudel and their Berry Cream Cheese strudel. YUM! Tasted like something I’d find in a five star restaurant! The owner, Kevin and his team were incredibly hospitable. Love that they chose Columbia to open their small business because this is big city type stuff. Go check them out!

Unlimited Brunch was EXCELLENT. I’ll be going back as much as possible. The food wasn’t boring breakfast food but rather nutritious brunch options. I had the best tomato soup of my life plus the strudel was to die for!!! I am not normally a sweets person but wow. Can’t wait to go back again. And the coffee was so fresh and tasty. If you plan on bringing a large group, try to call ahead of time just so they have a heads up but we just walked in and sat down very easily. Not required but it seems like the best way to do it!

That was such an amazing cake by Chef Kevin. Everyone loved it. It is very rare to get an European style cake with the yummiest combination ever. Grateful.
Thank you for making the party extra special. This place is a hidden gem in the town.
