    The service was nice. I ordered BLT because it was described as a thick bacon, but it was just regular bacon. Tuna melt was good.

    Gluten free turkey pesto sandwich

    While visiting the area to see DMB at the Gorge we came across this market, right up my wife's alley! We found this little cafe that actually offered gluten free sandwiches which actually tasted good! My wife was so impressed with the bread wish we knew where they got it! We visited twice while we were in town!

    If you are in the Hilton next door, so your self a favor and take a 5 minute walk over for breakfast. They are open from 8am. Even if you are in any of the hotels in Wenatchee or East Wenatchee, I would drive over for breakfast. One of the best breakfasts I've ever had "on the road". We were driving the Cascade Loop and spent a night in Wenatchee, having picked the Hilton because it was right next to the Pybus Public Market. Reading the reviews on Yelp, we picked Cafe Columbia for breakfast. The avocado toast was delicious. It was the bread! Firm enough, toasted enough so that the avocado did not make it soggy, and the light spices and salt in the avocado made the flavor pretty special. The included salad was fresh with sweet, tasty tomatoes. The hard boiled egg was perfect with a slightly runny yolk the way my wife likes it. I had the Croque Monsieur, and it was one of the best I've had. The cheese was perfectly done. Parmesan on top, toasted enough to be crisp and gamey. The unctuous filling ofham, gruyere and bechemel was perfect without making the bread soggy. Topped of with a latte using oat milk, it was one of the best breakfasts I've had on a roadtrip.

    Lemon meringue tart
    Sandra V.

    On Saturday the husband and I were out running errands and wanted to pick up something for lunch. We headed to Pybus and ended up at Cafe Columbia. I picked the Columbia house salad that came with apples, candied pecans, blue cheese and a vinaigrette dressing. Husband got pulled in by the treats on display and ordered the lemon meringue tart. The salad was fresh and a balanced combination of sweet and savory. Delicious. the lemon tart was presented beautifully and was delightful to enjoy. A crisp tart crust, filled with tangy lemon curd and topped with a toasted meringue, perfect. The ambiance was also an added bonus, light and friendly with a chatter around from the open market. A great way to wind down -- drinking coffee at Cafe Columbia.

    Excellent food coffee and baked goods. Popped in today while there was a brief lull. There is consistent traffic and rightfullyso. Egg's Benni was fantastic as well as the skinny vanilla latte. Highly recommended if you are visiting or live in the area!

    Breakfast Burrito

    Amber & crew at Cafe Columbia are the dopest people to see every morning. The vibrant energy and welcoming mien embodied by all the staff is enough to keep me coming back on a regular basis. Plus, they have the best, freshest breakfast burritos in town!

All so yummy and uniquely local, that you won't have a hard time, finding something DELICIOUS!!! This was my first time, in this Public Market and this cafe alone is making want to come back for MORE! Stratas! Scones! Muffins! Tarts! Espresso! Oh my! Their customer service is also TOP NOTCH!!! My 1st time there, was on my birthday and their team sure made this girl feel extra special!!! So glad my bf lives out there, so I'll mos def be making Cafe Columbia, my hot spot!!! Cheers y'all! xx

    lox bagel
    Megan C.

    service: despite the influx of many people, the service still seems to be great! the cashier took the the time to answer our questions and was patient with our big order (3 meals and 3 drinks). everyone here was very kind and i even noticed a male waiter bring a plastic bag to a lady whose produce bag had ripped- which was notably kind and says a lot about the people working here. they were also very quick with pumping out our drinks and food! food and drink: for the drinks, i would skip out on ordering the coffee... i'm someone who prefers strong coffee taste, but the drinks that i tried dont seem to have the coffee taste i was looking for. i got a 16 oz mocha and it tasted like chocolate milk, which was yummy, but there was no hint of coffee. my parents got the drip coffee and americano, and they both said that the drinks tasted watered down with no aromatic coffee taste. for our meals, we got the club sandwich, the BLT (cashier recommended), and the lox bagel! the club sandwich was huge and looked amazing. we had to get a togo box for it. i had tbe BLT with sourdough and a side of greens! super refreshing but you can't go wrong with a BLT. i only finished half and was full! i didn't get to try the lox bagel, but the portion size looked pretty reasonable. ambiance: located inside a marketplace, the ambiance was lively and the inside was surprisingly cool and clean. we found seating for three inside pretty quickly despite the amount of people.

    This is one of those restaurants that you get the sense that you'll be happy with anything your order. So we took a chance and ordered pretty randomly, and were right. I got the crispy pork belly bowl and he got pulled pork sandwich, and they have seasonal drinks so we got a cloud cover cold brew. I felt like I could have used a little more pork belly BUT that's ok, it was still good! Service was nice, outdoor seating was spacious, and the food was amazing. I'll definitely be stopping by again!

    What a treasure! We were originally planning to get fast food to save time as we rolled through town on a toad trip but after discovering the Pybus Public Market on Yelp, we quickly reworked our plans. Cafe Columbia was a much healthier alternative to our original plans. Before diving into my order, I want to give props to the lovely young woman working the counter and offering sweet hospitality. I shared with her my seafood allergy and she was very helpful and thorough in making certain my order was safe. As for COVID safety precautions, all staff were wearing face masks and social distancing was enforced. I ordered one of their newer bowl options which was vegetarian and filled with farro, avocado, carrots, sweet potatoes, cilantro, sesame seeds and a sesame ginger vinaigrette. It was packed to the rim with flavor! I left taking notes of how I would recreate this dish when we return home from our road trip.

    If I could leave a 10/5 I would. My sister and I stumbled by Petey's on the way out of town and…read morewere shocked by the hole in the wall nature of incredible service and better food. Highly recommend the bagel sandwich (do the jalapeño cheddar!) and the cinnamon roll pancakes. We live in Seattle but considering making the trip out to come here again soon.

    | Room to Grow, Hoping for Better Next Time…read more We came to Petey's with high hopes. As a long-time Wenatchee resident who moved away in 2017, I was excited to try a new spot after recently moving back. I remembered this location as a family-run Mexican restaurant and was intrigued to see what Luis had done with the place--I've met him in the past and wanted to support the venture. First impressions were promising. We were greeted warmly by a friendly young man at the front, and shortly after sitting down, someone else brought us water without delay. The service started off strong and professional. Then our waitress arrived--and unfortunately, that's where things shifted. She didn't greet us or offer a smile--just asked if we wanted anything besides water. We placed our drink orders, but her demeanor felt cold and unwelcoming. When she returned with our drinks, the energy didn't improve. We placed our food order and hoped for the best. When our meals arrived, they looked good--but we were missing a couple of items. We let her know, and she corrected it quickly, which we appreciated. Still, she seemed frustrated and disengaged throughout. To top it off, while I was still eating, she returned--not to check on how things were--but to ask if we were ready to cash out. I let her know I wasn't quite finished yet. About ten minutes later, I motioned that we were ready, and she dropped the handheld payment device on the table without a word. No "how was everything?"--just silence. It was clear she was ready for us to go. Despite the lackluster service, I still left a 15% tip--because everyone has off days. And I genuinely want this place to succeed. The food was good, and the environment shows promise. We'll be back to give breakfast a try, and I'm hopeful the next visit reflects the pride and care that I know Luis wants this place to represent. I don't leave critical feedback lightly--but I know Luis will see this and take it as an opportunity to improve. - thanks for reading my review

A poster on the wall tells the backstory on the Lopez family-- it's a fascinating read, worth the time! I stopped in the afternoon between meal times. The restaurant was quiet with permeating aromas filling the main salon. I ordered "Tacos Dorados" (hardshell crispy tacos). They weren't on the menu, but they said they make them for me. What they served were Flautas. not what I expected, but they were delicious. The quality of the ingredients is superb and fresh, definitely a cut above what you would expect. The flautas were $16.95. They came with rice and beans, however, that was five dollars extra. The cup of coffee was $3.95. So, all toll, the bill was just short of $26. I thought that was a little pricey, but certainly reasonable for a custom meal that's not on their menu. As Mexican food fare goes, Paradise is a higher class restaurant, and it's obvious they want to please their customers. I appreciated the special attention. I'm excited to return and try some of their featured entrées..
