Community Food & Juice

Community Food and Juice is one of the highlights of Columbia food community. Brunch til 3:30 every day. Joined by luncheon bowls and burgers and sandwiches as the noon hour approaches. The ingredients are as local as possible and all delicious. The drinks are crafted so yes, you can say there are craft cocktails available. Those too are high level and excellent. Service is attentive - your coffee or water is refillled, the food is just what you want ( try a BELT, you’ll see what I mean!), and it’s been consistently superb for years. the only problem is because everything is so good, sometimes you have to wait to get a table or a seat at the bar.

I ordered a brunch sandwich (the BELT, which is a BLT with a fried egg added) which tasted good but I asked for a non runny yolk and guess what I got? Yup, runny eggs. Sigh... Also, be aware, prices are a bit high, I was charged 7 dollars for a juice glass size orange juice. The server said it was fresh squeezed but ... Sigh.

Few restaurants hit the mark quite like this one. The food was of superb quality and presentation. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was bright and inviting. Overall, the experience was comfortable and enjoyable from start to finish, and this ended up being the perfect place to spend time with friends for brunch. I highly recommend the lentil salad with its caramelized leeks and the carrot hash browns. I really applaud their unique and fresh offerings. Not only is the food high quality, but it’s presented nicely and flavorful as well. Quality coffee here too, I gotta say. I have no hesitation recommending, and hope to be back someday.

The waiters were welcoming and friendly. I ordered the rice bowl with tofu. I was impressed with the freshness of the vegetables and the perfectly grilled tofu. The nutty and slightly sweet sauce was the best part. However, the portion size was small for the price of $16. The prices on Google has not been updated to show the increased pricing. I would love to see slightly lower prices or bigger portions.
