Reviews for Café on the Abbey in Columbia, IL
Great little place with delicious food, lovely staff and a friendly owner. Worth trying ! Had the B.E.L.T. sandwich
Got the breakfast special. 2 eggs, 1 biscuit covered in gravy, half a ham steak and potato pancakes. Everything needed... seasoning. Well except the ham steak. The eggs, cooked to order. Biscuit and Gravy was good. The potato pancakes, let's saydifferent. Cross between a hash browns and pancakes. Had creamy taste, thought it might be a cheese. Nope it was sour cream. Notmy taste profile. Next time I'd get the American fries. Wife's BLT was a little lacking flavor. Tomato slice only had one sideand very lite on mayo. Bacon was good. Daughter had the Belgian waffles with sausage with strawberries on the side. It wasvery good. So change up the order a little and I got to season everything could a five star. Server was very nice and attentive. Will be back to try something different. Read more
I love eating here so much. Service is wonderful, prices are fair, food is great and they have awesome outdoor eating with... plenty of shade and industrial fans on really hot days. I especially love bringing my dog, and they offer water bowls for them.I do enjoy most of their teas. My mom prefers their coffees! Read more

NOT impressed! Based on reviews we were excited to try a new place for breakfast. Tasted like cafeteria food! Don't mind... spending money to eat out, however like to get food worthy of our $$'s. Almost $40 for the breakfast we had...we'll definitelybe choosing more wisely next time. Read more

We rode over here with Two Wheel Java. We're a motorcycle group that meets up for coffee every weekend, and this is absolutely... one of our favorites. Not only were the food and drinks excellent, but the staff was extremely welcoming and excited to host ourgroup of 25! The outside dining is a great touch, and they reserved the side patio for our event. We will absolutely be back! Read more
I have been a customer since it was called Our House and at the other location. I love supporting local, small businesses and... this place was special to me on a personal level, so I usually will suggest this spot when I can to catch up with friends.However, there is a very unkind and unfriendly waitress (name starts with a "K", but kinda reminds me of Roseanne) that ruinsthe experience everytime I have had the misfortune of having her. The times I have been waited on by her, she is rude from thestart, so I just thought she was having a bad day, or maybe she just hated her job or she is just a miserable, depressed person,so I felt sorry for her and didn't think too much else about it. I always tip very well, regardless. My last visit, though, Ibrought company in from out of town, and "Roseanne" was just so unbelievably rude to us that I will not be back. So very sad and disappointing because I really enjoy the place and the other employees, but it's not worth it to risk being treated in thatmanner. Read more
