Welcome to Lakeside Café 

We are excited to introduce the new and improved Lakeside Café at Columbia College. As we continue to grow, we are moving away from the traditional “snack bar” concept. Lakeside Café now offers freshly prepared full meals, along with convenient grab-and-go options designed to meet the needs of our busy campus community. 

As a self-funded, non-profit operation, our focus remains on providing high-quality, nutritious food at affordable prices. Whether you’re stopping in for a made-to-order breakfast, a hearty lunch, or a quick bite between classes, Lakeside Café is here to serve students, faculty, and staff with fresh flavors and welcoming service. 

We’re proud to expand our menu, enhance our offerings, and create a dining experience that better reflects the needs of Columbia College today. We invite you to stop by and experience everything Lakeside Café has to offer.
