Cafe Strudel West Columbia

The homemade croissants and coffee bar is what got me in. What I didn't expect was getting a restaurant quality steak at a Cafe. It was the best steak I have eaten, better than in any steakhouse. Cooked perfectly, tender, melt in your mouth. The sour dough bread, croissants, all are top notch. You don't even need butter. The coffee bar is fun. You get to pick your own mug and fill it with as much coffee as you want. Their coffee is really good and in fact you can purchase it if you really enjoy it. It is always packed so plan on waiting a little. This place isn't really handicap ready and no strollers will fit either. It is inside an old building which make for a wonderful atmosphere but also some hurdles. Certainly a must try.

Well, as you can see our crew thought everything was really great. We tried the shrimp and grits, bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on sourdough bread, the French toast with scrambled eggs and bacon, and a side order of sourdough bread with strawberry jelly. Forgot the take the before pictures but as you can tell everything was wiped pretty clean except for our one picky eater. Prices were reasonable and the staff was very friendly!

First off thank you, I enjoyed my dinning experience. The service was on point and the food cook exactly to order. Ordering a Over Medium well egg and it was perfect, on the Brisket and biscuit. The open coffee bar, is brilliant and taste awesome.

This is a Five star experience, so if your in Columbia, make this stop and enjoy.

Great meal every time we go! I ordered sunrise burrito with sausage, half order of hangover hash browns and a slice of their French toast. Husband got their crab eggs Benedict. Everything was wonderful as always! And friendly staff!

The food was very good. They ran out of 2 flavors of mimosa and the wait was over a hour to sit and eat. We did how however loved the fact that the general manager was bringing plates to the table. Overall a solid 4 stars 🤩

Great experience, local vibe and some not-typical menus options if you want something different than the standard eggs/pancakes. Fresh squeezed oj was amazing! Friendly staff and fast service. We got the power bowl and the bagel w/cream cheese, egg and sprouts

This is the Best place for Breakfast in Columbia SC.

I will 100% recommend this place to everyone!
Picture of Shrimp and Grits was taken after I mixed it together.
It came out looking Amazing! Tasted even better!

I absolutely adore small spots for a good breakfast. I read reviews before coming and all were so good that I was convinced I needed to try. I was not disappointed!! The salmon and grits with a side cinnamon pancake was heavenly! I knew it was a good sign when I walked in and saw it was crowded even for a Friday morning! I can imagine weekends probably can’t even get in the place lol.

It was a bit of a wait but we'll worth it!! The owners were so sweet and the food was delicious. I also ended up purchasing a beautiful shofar that was calling me. We will definitely be back when we come back in town. Thank you!!

The "Pre-Game" was amazing and quite filling. Very generous serving. The french toast was great and the cheese grits as well. I had a warm drink ordered for me, don't remember the name but tasted like spiked hot chocolate, it was divine!! First time, we'll definitely be back.
