I called to place an order for carry out. I ordered the double biscuits and gravy. The biscuits and gravy is amazing and definitely not premade warmed up food like some restaurants do. It was home cooked real sausage not the fake stuff and the biscuits were amazing, soft and fluffy and there was a lot of gravy too. Also, on the side was some fruit and pickled cucumbers that was so good! All well worth the money I paid! The owner was so nice and friendly. The atmosphere was so lovely and It felt very warm and inviting. I look forward to dining in and taking in the whole experience of a very quaint and experience of home cooked food. Pickles Café.

Pickles offers breakfast and lunch, with dinner served on Wednesdays only. We had lunch. A menu of specials allowed us to choose 3 items from a long list of sandwiches, soups, and salads. All 5 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal, even adding a couple slices of pie to go on the way out.
The interesting food combinations bring us back over and over. Always comfort food and good for you food stirred together. Thank you Pickles

The atmosphere truly is delightful. I dined with a group of 12 or more. Our food arrived timely. I had quiche. The portion was smallish. I also had chocolate peanut butter pie, which was a little too rich for me. It was a beautiful day with good friends, so no real complaints or issues.

It is so nice to sit down at a restaurant and be able to find a large selection of food options that are healthy. Not only was my lunch healthy but it was also delicious. Service was excellent and there was plenty of outdoor seating. Wonderful place to eat.
We met a friend there and spent 2 hours talking and laughing. Food and service was great. The jalapeño cheeseburger soup was delicious.

My daughter went there to get sweets. She chose a piece of peach cream pie for me. It was delicious. She chose a piece of coconut cheesecake with almonds. She liked it.

Pickles Café – Columbia City, IN
Stopped in for breakfast on a road trip and this place surprised me in the best way.
Pickles Café is a cozy, family-owned spot with real charm — colorful walls, vintage art, mismatched chairs, and a hand-written chalkboard menu that feels straight from someone’s home kitchen. It’s got personality, heart, and zero pretense.
I ordered the Greek veggie wrap — portabella mushrooms, hummus, crisp greens — served with a side of fresh melon and pineapple that hit just right. Light, clean, and satisfying. The menu’s full of classics like omelets, French toast, grilled cheese, salads, and wraps, with plenty for both meat-eaters and vegetarians.
Service was warm, unforced, and real. My server had a peaceful energy and a tattoo of the Seven Sisters constellation — Pleiades. That small detail struck me. It felt like a quiet confirmation I was where I needed to be.
Didn’t get dessert this time, but they’re homemade and looked like the kind of thing you come back for.
If you’re passing through Columbia City and want something real — not fast food, not fake hospitality — just good food, good people, and maybe a little quiet magic if you're paying attention… stop here.
