“ Little place with incredible authentic Polish food. Yes, it’s tiny and really understated. Yes, you’ll be eating off of paper plates and using plastic utensils. Yes, that’s the owner and head cook who will be waiting on your table. Incredibly nice lady and really hard worker. The pierogies are some of the best I’ve had and the crepes are amazing. Price was pretty reasonable, around 45 for 2 people with a beer. It isn’t fancy, but if you like Polish food, you’ll adore this place. ”
“ Great location, close enough to the highway and plenty of street parking. We ordered the savory crepes as well as the variety of pierogis, and the beef was the absolute best I've ever eaten. We also ordered the Borscht and a strawberry shake, which were both delicious. There were many other delicious menu items I'd like to try when traveling through in the future. If you're into trying new foods, this is definitely a must. The wife and husband make everything from scratch, and the lady is so sweet and helpful! ”
“ First time visiting Cafe Poland & we enjoyed our meal & time there. My absolute favorite was their blackberry Polish shake & their spinach & feta crepe. Will definitely be visiting more often! ”

“ Naprawde klejnot, truly a gem for Polish/Central European cuisine! Under the guidance of the original Iwona, Antoine and Madison are serving quality eats at reasonable prices. A friend and I enjoyed a sampler of the top dishes for lunch last week, pierogies, Gołabki, sausage, and more... all prepared and presented beautifully! I can't wait to visit again with a cooler to take some homemade pierogies to go,(they sell them frozen so you can enjoy at home!), and to sip a double espresso! ”
“ This is an amazing place. Excellent service, authentic Polish cuisine. Antuan, the friendly host and co-owner, took his time explaining the menu to customers. We had cabbage rolls with tomato sauce, crepes with berries and sweet cream, and pierogies. Everything tasted fresh, (not greasy), just like freshly cooked homemade food with clean, simple ingredients. I’m really glad we found this place. If you are in Columbia, you have got to try it! It’s all about the experience but also about the quality of the food. Highly recommend! ”
“ Ordered beef & potato pierogis (3 ea) & Polish Sausage w/mash potatoes and sauerkraut. Pierogis were amazing, I liked beef the best. I’ve never had sausage that tasted as good as this authentic polish sausage and the sauerkraut was the perfect balance of sour. Definitely worth the price due to the high quality of service, atmosphere, and quality!! Just over 34 and worth every cent! ”
“ Good things come in small packages. Cafe Poland has an amazing array of well prepared and delicious dishes. Weather permitting the, side deck provides a wonderful dining experience. Big shout out to Madison, our server and who rescued my wallet! Worth a visit! ”
