“ Service is very friendly and quick. I was in and out within 40 minutes when dining in for breakfast before work. Plus they have a super cute coffee bar. ”
“ I have to point out that I have been here on two separate occasions. Both times the service was. Everyone was polite, they were helpful, and my food came out quickly. The only thing I didn't like was the grits. I am not accustomed to the bloody Mary Type sauce they use for a roux. The second time I went, I had to put it on the side because the flavors didn't make sense as a combination. I will say that the ambience was great. I love looking around and painting from the wall and the wear and tear of the building. ”
“ Things to love about Cafe Strudel: breakfast in all of its iterations -- pancakes, Benedict's, hashbrowns, omelets, scrambles, big ol' "busketts". Parking behind the restaurant. Self serve coffee bar so you can choose your poison to your heart's content. ”
“ Very nice restaurant! Very good food and wonderful service as well! I ordered brisket hash. I love it! ”
“ If you haven't had Cafe Strudel, you haven't had brunch in Cola! However, it's not brunch, until their freshly squeezed mimosas are involved! ”
“ The brisket hashbrowns, coffee, and mimosa were so good! There is a wait but it's well worth it. Payton was our super sweet server and we'll definitely return for more. ”
“ For those of you reading this shi* like a blog, LFG! If you're in the Columbia, SC area anytime soon, hopefully you find this review handy. We stopped in Café Strudel our last morning in town. I'd had them bookmarked for a brekke sooner in the week but we found ourselves full from so many sit down meals that needing a full brekke in the morning wasn't necessary. I'm so thankful we had the opportunity to visit them Saturday morning. We arrived to what was quoted as a 25-30min wait around 1030A, but turned out being closer to 10-15min. We glanced over the menu while we waited and we seated promptly there after. Service was GREAT!!! Me and my sons girlfriend both ordered their sticky bun latte with oat milk. Sweet but yummy. I had the cinnamon pancakes, my sons girlfriend had the Hawaiian Pineapple French Toast and my bestie had an egg dish. I think we all ordered the turkey bacon, which was tasty. I'd highly recommend this spot for an upbeat energetic sit down brekke. They also appear to have a bar and several morning/afternoon cocktail options. I didn't have my go to mimosa but they had several mimosa offerings and just about every table in the place had a bloody Mary on their table. I don't do tomato juice but if you do, I think that's the go to morning mixer around here. I will say the bathrooms could have used a bit of attention, both had issues but not an absolute deal breaker in any way. Food and Service were great. ”
