Drinking our mimosas
Briana C.

Stopped in for Brunch on a Saturday with a group of friends and what a great choice! This place isn't fancy but the food is bomb! I was so glad my friends all let me nibble a little off their plate because every dish on the table was delicious. I went the basic route and decided on the mimosa pitcher with fresh squeezed OJ and the breakfast sandwich on a croissant... Yumm!! My wife got the Gambas Grits which was a bit on the heavy side but so very delicious. Another friend had the salmon and grits with caper(that's not the official name) and it was on the lighter side for grits and also very good!! Our food came out fairly quickly and the staff were wonderful! I will definitely be back next time I need a great brunch spot. Also, if you're a thrifter check out the cool thrift stores next to the restaurant. Sorry for the lack of photos! My food was so good I ate it before getting pics! Lol

Great brunch spot! Loved the outdoor seating! Service was great always! Bonus points for them carrying Mae's Lemonade!

Smoke Salmon omelette with the dill sauce on the side and sour dough toast.

We arrived a little after 10:00am and they was busy. We had about 5min wait, the building very small and outdated. The server was very pleasant, friendly and bubbly, we told her it was our first time and she went over the menu and let us know, if you order coffee there was a coffee bar to get all the coffee you wanted. When I entrées arrived they were very plentiful and delicious.

Great ambience, love the self-serve coffee bar. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the food tasty. I'm hoping to stop in again at my next visit to Columbia!

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!

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.

Iced mocha
Yunhea K.

My bf wanted to come here for brunch with our friends since he's been here before and I must say, the food was amazing. I got an iced mocha to start and it was creamy and chocolatey. Perfect with my brunch. I ordered the brisket omelette because I wanted it last time but they were out of brisket so I thought it would be perfect to try it this time. I asked for the bbq sauce on the side because i was skeptical to try it on there already. So I poured some sauce on a little bite and oh man! The flavor was amazing. The smokiness of the brisket, the tangy bbq sauce, the creaminess of the omelette was delicious. The hash browns added texture to the omelette as well when I ate it together. Everyone said my food was the best out of all of ours. My bf got the salmon and grits with shrimp and his was really good as well. The salmon was cooked well and I loved the creaminess of the grits and sauce they had with capers. This was an amazing meal and the service was top tier as well. We will definitely be back with friends again or even a brunch date together.

Waffle with pecans and Turkey sausage.
Vee F.

The food was delicious! I had the waffle and turkey sausage. The waffle was not your traditional waffle, it was perfect and quite filling. I love the flavor and the pecans gave it that extra crunch that made it so good. The turkey sausage was the moistest sausage I have ever had-ever. Usually it is dry and tough, but this sausage was not. My server was spot on. I like the atmosphere, it was crowded when I arrived, but I was seated immediately. I like Cafe Strudel and plan on returning again.

They were all so sweet and really went above and beyond to make sure it was a high-quality experience. I noticed that they openly advertise that they don't accept tips and have slightly higher prices in order to pay their workers a living wage, and the results were directly reflected in the customer service that I received. As for the food and drink (coffee), that was pretty good as well! While I do wish that they might have had bagels, the croissant that I substituted it for was warm, buttery, and tasty, and it was a nice change from my usual coffee shop meal, as I've only had a croissant a handful of times. The coffee was fine, and I loved how they offered free refills, which I've noticed that other local coffee shops usually don't. Finally, I loved the setting of the restaurant, which gave you the opportunity to either sit inside and enjoy the ambiance or on the outside patio and enjoy some peace and quiet. I also loved the artwork that they had on the walls, which the waitress informed me was painted by a local artist and which you could purchase if you wanted to. All-in-all, I loved smallSUGAR, will be back in the future, and would highly recommend stopping in!

Stopped by smallSUGAR and had a decent overall experience, though a few things held it back…read more The space itself was clean and well-kept, with a modern, minimalist vibe that works well for a casual brunch or coffee stop. Service was fine. Nothing particularly standout, but smooth and efficient. For drinks, the coffee was average. It wasn't bad by any means, just nothing memorable. Especially considering the price point. Food-wise, there were some highlights. The sweet potato bowl was well-dressed and flavorful, though it felt like it was missing a protein component to make it more complete. The shakshuka was very good overall, with great flavor, though it leaned a bit salty. The biggest issue was the bread portion. It simply wasn't enough for the dish. I ended up ordering an extra side, and while it's listed as two slices, it's really just one slice cut in half. At $4 for that portion, that is very unreasonable. That was a recurring theme. Pricing felt high across the board for what you receive. While the flavors were there, nothing really stood out as exceptional enough to justify the cost. Overall, not a bad visit. Just one where the value didn't quite match the experience.

Upon arriving,…read moreit is a mix of yoga studio and juice bar, an obvious synergy I'm surprised I don't see more of. There were a few people sitting in the airy seating area up front who were there for the cafe, as well as various yoga people walking by. As açaí bowls go, the one I got here was quality. Pricey, for sure, but with vegan protein and a strong unsweetened fruity base couple with a nice mix of toppings, there was plenty to be said for it on a nutritional level, and every bite was interesting. They had plenty of other smoothies and toppings so if you want to go all out on it, this is one of what I suspect is a small number of options in central South Carolina. They also had free wifi and it was a good space to sit with a laptop. Not able to comment on the yoga side of things.
