★★★★★ 5.0 Ryan Craig · Jan 2026

An excellent turn from dive to diner. The interior is unrecognizable from The Columbia as it was. While I have many fond memories in the old local, it is refreshing to walk through the new doors, full glass facing Nucleus, and to feel none of the decades before still clinging to the space (I understand every inch of the place was painstakingly scraped down). The atmosphere is clean and concise, the staff kind and welcoming, and the food is quite excellent. This isn't some new greasy spoon. We left very satisfied, only lacking the lead weight from unnecessarily heavy food. Even the house potatoes were crunchy out, soft inside, and clear of oil saturation. My over medium eggs were perfect, the French toast with buttered maple syrup was delightful. My friends thoroughly enjoyed their biscuits

The weekend was here and I was in search for a new breakfast place to try. I Googled local breakfast places and Columbia Cafe caught my eye. Upon arrival the eatery is spaced out with plenty of room & happy chattered throughout. ( a happy feel) I sat at the bar and the waitress indicated they had just opened less than a week ago … and it showed. The whole staff was running around frantically as the place was busting with business. The staff behind the bar were extremely friendly, and each one of them greeted me. I ordered and have to say I was disappointed by the food. My order was taken wrong and when corrected it proved bland with no flavor. The potatoes tasted as though they were frozen, but she insisted that they were freshly made. The coffee was not the best and they could not provide

Today I got to be a part of Grand opening. The staff is super welcoming and shared with us their favorite dishes. I got the curry chicken wrap and it aaa nice and light. Refreshing actually My brother got the hamburger and i was too busy recording his dish. Lol i also ordered the fresh squeezed orange juice. Yummmmm. Overall my experience was fantastic. Also the atmosphere is very comforting with the lights. I felt cozy

We just ate here on Tuesday and had a great experience! It's so nice to have another option in downtown Columbia Falls. We tried the club sandwich, chipotle chicken sandwich and the curry chicken wrap. Everything was really good and the fries were hot and crispy! They currently are only serving breakfast until 11:30 but we were told that will change with time. Really hoping they get a liquor license because adding mimosas and other breakfast cocktails to their menu would take this place to the next level!
