Cafe Strudel West Columbia

Upon arrival hostess said we would have a 25 minute wait. To our surprise, we were seated in 10 minutes.
Menu full variety of brunch and lunch items. Portions large and very much fitting to the price of each product on the menu. Leftovers were taken home!
Staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and very efficient.
We did not feel pushed to finish and leave.
We would recommend 5+

Cute spot for brunch, a little loud for meeting. Seating not comfortable unless you get one of the few booths. Food and beverages were great!

This photo doesn't look like much from first glance, but it was one of the best ham & cheese omelettes I've had in a long time! I actually couldn't eat the whole thing the first time around. The biscuit was soft and fluffy and our server, Rebecca, was incredibly kind! My husband had the reuban sandwich and we went back the next day and he ordered it again! We had a great experience both days! 👏

I went there with my 9-month pregnant daughter-in-law and son, and it was great. The atmosphere, food, and service were great! I will most definitely go back

I went to Cafe Strudel on 8/8/25 for lunch. On the positive side, the waitress was friendly and helpful. I asked for a Greek salad minus the cheese. I advised waitress that I have a severe dairy allergy. I appreciate that she took my concern seriously. However, the salad had rotting greens in it. I showed the waitress the rotting greens. She went to the kitchen and came back letting me know that the Chef said that he didn't serve rotting greens at the restaurant. She brought me a plate and asked me to scoop the rotten greens so that she could show the Chef. The plate should have been removed from the table. Since the evidence of the rotten greens was so blatant, the Chef sent a message that it was the supplier's fault for sending him bad greens. I was asked if I wanted anything else. I declined. At that point, I didn't trust this Chef at all. I was shocked that he would not take any responsibility for the food that he sent out. The manager never came out to apologize and the Chef didn't apologize. The waitress was very apologetic, so I don't fault her at all. I didn't have to pay for the rotting salad, which I didn't eat. I will never again frequent this establishment.

Very unprofessional and amateurish attempt at a restaurant. The food was mediocre at best and overpriced. The bathrooms are filthy and the buttons to flush the toilet have fallen off the wall. The tables and chairs are a worn out mishmash. My friend's salad was filled with wilted lettuce.

Was in town for a week and was out looking for a place to get a great brunch. Loved the food and the options I found here. They were pretty busy and so the staff was running around but over all great atmosphere, service and excellent food!

The food was miserable and overpriced. Everything was just bland and unseasoned. I paid $15 for 3 plain pancakes and $6 for fruit to go with them. Service was fine, nothing special but our server was kind. Coffee bar was also fine, no syrups or real creamer. Just what any restaurant would have in the back. Dark/light roast and decaf with half/half and sugar packets.

Lots of flies. Lots of holes in the wall. They were short staffed for servers but they were doing the best they could!

Hadn't been there in a while, but enjoyed lunch there today. Sabrina was a great server! The wrap was really good with chicken, spinach, strawberries, onion, feta and light Greek dressing. The raw fries were good as well. And I'm not a huge fan of olives, but ate around them in the pasta salad and it was delicious!

Great place to grab a bit. Unique place as it used to be like a hardware store. They hang up artwork to be sold from local artists. Decent priced food for a Cafe. And they are starting to stay open later again. So far on Fridays only.

I went for an alcohol lunch, the mimosa was perfect and the food was hot and delish, it was enough to feed two people! I'll be back for brunch!
