Lakeside Cafe & Deli

A hidden gem. Back in the area for a few days I stumbled across this little cafe. Our breakfast sandwiches were very good. Our mocha lattes were excellent. The service was also excellent. They are so pleasant here. 100% recommend.

Great little Deli located near the mall. It's on the bottoms level of and office building next to a back and mortgage company. There is no side outside so you barely know that it's there. I friend told me about to so I went yesterday for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised by this little hidden gem. It appears they only serve breakfast and lunch judging by the menu. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich lunch special. It came with a bag of chips and a small drink for under 10 bucks. My co-worker ordered and salad that they prepared fresh on the spot. You can even watch them as they slice up the fresh veggies for you. They were very quick so it was not long before our food was ready. We opted to take it back to the office but they do have a few seats inside as well as a patio for outside dining when the weather gets better. They don't have a website or online menu so you have to go in to see what they have. A great find and I will return.

It's the same owner as Merriweather Deli across the street. It's similar though has much more indoor and outdoor table space.

Cozy cafe nestled in a business center near Little Patuxent. The owners/employees are very friendly. The cafe is clean and organized with numerous places to sit. I walked over from The Met and was quickly greeted and helped. I ordered a fruit cup and a breakfast sandwich. The fruit was fresh and the sandwich exceeded expectations. The egg was fluffy and moist and the turkey bacon was cooked to crisp perfection. I will return often.

The cafe is situated in the building where Columbia Bank is on the bottom floor. This cafe has lots of different options to satisfy everyone in your party! Great place for a quick breakfast or lunch. The owners and employees are super nice and all the food is fresh. I work close by and this is one of my go to spots. They use Boars Head meats and make most of their soups from scratch. If you're in the neighborhood and looking for a quick bite that won't break the bank definitely give his place a try!

Found this place while looking for a place to have a quick light breakfast. The staff was very friendly and the food was flavorful. To find the cafe you have to go to the back of the building to where there is a patio and use the patio entrance or use the entrance inside the building that is near the back door by the patio.

Friendliest staff around! They are accommodating and offer a variety of breakfast/lunch options. There hasn't been anything I didn't like.

The friendliest place to grab a sandwich, salad, or special dish for lunch. Everyone loves the taco salad.

Great deli with friendly owners. Been in Columbia for at least 17 years. Originally located on the lakefront and moved to this building around the time Whole Foods was under construction. That building was recently demolished. It was a nice location that was open weekends. Since moving into this location they are only open weekdays. I stop by if I am nearby on a weekdays. Glad they got through losing a lot of business during the pandemic. Hope this deli is here for years to come.

My coworkers and myself eat here almost daily. Great breakfast and lunch. The type of place they know your name when you walk in. Great MD crab soup. Try the Korean tacos also, they are delicious.
