Fun and unique hidden gem. I ordered a pastry item only, but I’ll be back to try a breakfast or lunch item. I ordered the ‘tiramisu donut’. It was very unique and I don’t think I’ve had anything like it before. Very light with a spongy feel but then drizzled and stuffed with tiramisu goodness. It was a heavenly experience. Each month they have new donut flavors and the tiramisu donut is a special for the month of June. They close at 2pm, so this is a breakfast and lunch only establishment. I can’t wait to try their other menu items.

Service and the atmosphere were great! We sat outside and it was super nice! However, this time around the food was hard to enjoy, especially for the price. I had a single French toast that was burnt and came with no other toppings, making it hard to finish alone. My sister also got the French toast and she had a difficult time finishing it. And then my partner had the other meal pictured. We were expecting a lot more food for the $20 we paid and it was all okay.

What a fun and unique place! First off, the menu is crazy awesome but you wouldn’t know that if you didn’t visit their website. So do that first.
All of the employees seemed welcoming and happy. And the food was unlike anything you’d get elsewhere. Familiar if you like middle eastern food, but decidedly different.
I had and loved the breakfast burrito with falafel and eggs. Do those go together? Who knows. It was good. We’ll be back next time we pass through Columbia

Excellent but a little pricey

Millennial vibes. I got the fruit and yogurt which was really simple and really good, decent price as well. My boyfriend got the biscuits and gravy, which was good but seemed extra salty. Will be coming back, overall a good place to grab some different flavors

Just for starters, I've been here twice and the girl at the counter just had a crap attitude. I don't go out to eat to get punked.
To the food: The menu is minimalistic in terms of the actual text- you don't know what the hell you're ordering without further inquiry. Only the girl with attitude doesn't really wanna talk about it. I had a 'black garlic biscuit' because that was the first thing on the list and I didn't dare ask any more questions. The biscuit had pesto, fried runny egg, honey, and some other crap on it. Biscuit was super dense and greasy, with zero fluff. Anyway, it was very heavy and basically made me feel gross. Pesto was a weird addition to a high-end breakfast sandwich and really didn't work.
A can of soda was, and I'm not exaggerating, seven bucks. That's a first for me. The fries were all leavings/crumbs, hardly any full french fries. See picture for reference- yes, I've eaten a bunch of the crumbs at this point but the container was entirely full of these roughly 1 cm pieces. I'll probably never go back, kind of hated it and the 4.9 rating on Google is pure hype.

Chicken/beet/carrot dish was amazing. All the fresh flavors came through. Will return soon
Dietary restrictions: Servers were well versed for gluten free meals.
Always one of my favorite places to eat. Yummy entrees, delicous breakfast (try the poptarts!), cleanly, open. Not a lot of bigger "sit together " spaces unless you are outside, but still doable at the bar and few small tables in the back.

Incredible food, sheek atmosphere, and kind and attentive staff. If you haven't been you need to go
Their coffee may be the finest in Columbia! Good breakfast sandwiches. Only complaint is Menu doesn’t make it clear what comes on Black Pepper Biscuit (wife is vegan and forgot to ask).

This little hidden gem. I went here for the first time seeking something I don’t get to have everyday, and decided on the lamb, and eggs, with a black garlic biscuit sandwich. The sandwich was so big I had to deconstruct it after the first few bites, but it was over the top good, and the biscuit may have been the best in como, even with the biscuit center. The lamb and eggs presentation was amazing. Tons of flavors and colors. Every time I thought I tasted the whole dish I was pleasantly surprised by another taste. Even with all the Mexican restaurant they have the best homemade tortillas. I will be back. Again and again. The cook was very friendly. 10/10 recommend to anyone wanting something different.

First visit to Beet Box Middle Eastern restaurant in Columbia MO. I enjoyed the huge bodega breakfast sandwich (bacon egg and cheese served on a kaiser roll) which was absolutely delicious along with a cold Thai tea (cold as requested). There was a platter of luscious pastries, cookies, and flavored pop tarts that I must pop back in to the restaurant to try another day on the go! I will definitely return to try their lunch options as well. The lunch menu looks simply devine...cannot wait to try the Za'Atar fries and hummus bowl. Simply YUM!
