    Buffalo chicken tenders, fries and celery
    Stephaney S.

    My coworkers recommended this place! The food took 6 minutes to finish even though there was a long line of people ordering. The food is to die for!! The chicken is so good the sauce is not super spicy and the fries are made to perfection. The people at the counter are so nice and the cafeteria is super clean and lively! Love love love

    Excellent! I was in Columbia on a business trip and wanted to grab a sandwich to fill my stomach, without much concern for food quality. To my surprise, a very kind young lady greeted me warmly with a big smile. I ordered an egg sandwich with ham, cheese, and butter, toasted on wheat bread. After just one bite, I was so happy. The delicious food, combined with her kindness, made my morning delightful and joyful. Thanks again, and I hope to stop by again soon.

    Buffalo Chicken Platter with Blue Cheese
    Deanna D.

    Listen!!! I have been coming to Bi-Bi, previously Jae's, for years! I absolutely LOVE this place! I swear it is like the neighbor deli that you see in the movies!! The staff is awesome, superb customer service! Always friendly, always accommodating, always smiling! I normally call in my order before I come in and the lovely lady on the phone always knows that's it is me. I find it fascinating that she can remember my name! I am sure she remembers other frequent customers too. As for the food, I have tried many items on the menu and everything has been great! But, my go-to, the Buffalo chicken platter with blue cheese! The platter is so tasty! The perfect amount of heat and sweet! The chicken strips are fat and fried perfectly and they give you crinkle fries!! The amount of food they give you for the price is amazing!! If you work in Columbia, visit the beautiful ladies at Bi-Bi on your lunch break! I promise you, you will not be disappointed! Tell them Deanna sent ya'!

    Great selection for lunch.  Friendly staff.  Check out the menu.

    Good food, clean and cozy dining area, and friendly service. Prices are lower than similar local places! Good value!

    I absolutely love, love, love this place! I have only gone twice but it's absolutely delicious…read more Especially if you come earlier in the day. I will say it's pricey but I mean what do you expect for high-quality yummy desserts. The donuts filled with some type of seasonal filling is my fav! The drinks there are also worth trying. My favorite was the tiramisu ice coffee (I think that's what it's called). Onlyyyyy thing I would say is the seating, not much seating for the amount of people who go but nonetheless still great spot.

    When I saw matcha on the menu, I knew I had to check this place out! There were unique flavors…read moreranging from pistachio matcha (for taste of Dubai ) to honey lavender matcha (if you're needing a sip of relaxation). I enjoyed how fresh and cohesive the flavors were! There's also a variety of pastries offered. These are baked in their Columbia location and brought to Arundel Mills. I was intrigued by the variety of savory treats, some topped with cheese and beef, others with vegetables. I was also delighted to see macaroons, that looked pretty authentic. With all the solid options present, I landed in a pistachio donut! Now, I will say I had a bit higher expectations for the donut. The donut itself was delicious, but I would have appreciated more pistachio throughout the cream in the center or maybe even skipping out on the cream altogether. Overall I think it was certainly worth a try. The matcha, for sure, stole the show! I will be back to try another flavor of matcha and a savory pastry!

    Tip: pack your patience…read more I've been wanting to try Cafe Columbia since I heard they have the option to add ice cream to the crepe. Ice cream with crepes are one of my favorite type of crepes, and that's exactly what I ordered; a crepe with ice cream. I walked in and the cafe was bustling with people enjoying their meal, and the workers preparing meals. It was a full house, however, I was able to grab a table for two. French Toast Crepe: this simple yet tasty crepe fit the bill. It had cinnamon flavor with whipped cream and I opted for a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It didn't come with fruit which I will add next time (yes, there will be a next time). Belgium Waffle: another simple item yet the batter was better than I expected. It didn't come with toppings. It came with a lite dusting of powdered sugar and came with room temperature butter. Chai Latte: this was good on the first sip. It seemed watered down and I would have preferred more flavor. Then again, I'm not a regular drinker of chai latte, and my daughter seemed to enjoy it. So don't count this out. When we ordered the staff gave us a disclaimer the crepe would take about 25 minutes. I didn't mind at the time. It took longer than that; however, I could see the workers constantly working on preparing meals so it didn't bother me. We got the waffle about 25 minutes later so we decided to share both the waffle and crepe. The crepe came out about 20 minutes later. The cafe has a well thought out layout. It has tables on each side, a reading area, and an area with complimentary water next to the coffee/tea station. The little station has water, cups, sugar, napkins and creamer (not pictured because it was packed and constantly occupied). On the other side you'll find more tables, the restrooms, and an ostracized nook that had someone in there occupying the chairs for what seemed like quiet time. Customer service is good. Parking is free in a huge parking lot for the business building. The cafe is located at the front of a shared business building. The menu has a variety of waffles with and without fruit options; crepes made either savory or sweet; and coffee drink options. There is an ice cream bar for scoops of ice cream or milkshakes; and lastly some fruit cups. Overall, I enjoyed the cafe and plan to add it to my list of favorites.

The menu is fairly consistent, with a few seasonal specials added throughout the year. The food is reliably prepared with fresh ingredients, and the presentation is usually appealing. One of the restaurant's most charming features is the large brick-enclosed fireplace in the center of the dining room. During our recent visit, it was still roaring despite the summer heat wave, adding to the warm and inviting atmosphere. The menu offers several dependable favorites, and the bakery display case is always tempting, filled with an assortment of pastries and desserts. Fresh-baked breads are also available for purchase, though the more popular varieties often sell out as the day progresses. What keeps us coming back is the relaxed setting. There's no pressure to rush through your meal, making it an ideal place to linger over lunch, catch up with friends, and enjoy a satisfying meal in comfortable surroundings. Overall, La Madeleine continues to be a pleasant and dependable choice for a casual meal and good conversation.

The meals are mediocre at best. Tremendously Constant staff changeover is also a "telling" sign though some is normal in this industry. Example: ordered Chicken pesta pasta...could not eat it. One bite and I knew there was a problem in the kitchen. The chef hadn't a clue. They no longer served the once selectable bread sticks and replaced them with a dry croissant which has nothing to do with pests. Could not taste a hint of pests, noodles were overcooked and drowning in a milky, soupy liquid. No thanks. I'm done. No more La Madeleine for me. Shortcuts. Bad food.

She told me to hold on, then came back after about 90 seconds and said, "Well, you only placed the order two minutes ago, it's not ready yet, but you can pull around."

After waiting about 10 minutes in line, I finally reached the window. She handed me the drink, and when I asked to speak to a manager, she rolled her eyes.
