    Geraldine's Counter is the lynchpin of Columbia City. The food is excellent - my partner got the French Toast with Blueberry compote which was really decadent and I got the pesto scramble which was a bit healthier. The coffee is great as well! The sourdough bread is the way to go.

    Geraldine's Counter is a true gem for breakfast, brunch, and lunch lovers! The food here is simply delicious. The standout item on the menu has to be the French toast--it's the most incredible thing I've tasted, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The pancakes were equally delightful, soft and fluffy, making for a wonderful start to the day. **A heads up: parking can be limited, so it's wise to carpool or arrive early, especially since it gets busy.** Our server was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The team seemed well-organized, which helped keep the flow of food moving smoothly. Overall, a fantastic dining experience! I can't wait to come back! I absolutely LOVE Geraldine's Counter when I'm in town.

    We went on a Saturday morning for brunch. There was quite a line but we got seated around 20-30 mins. The French toast was probably my favorite thing that I got. It was very crispy but still soft in the center. I see why everyone raves about it. I got the chicken fried steak and it was decent. There wasn't any thing special about the gravy. The hash browns were nice and crispy. My friend got the pesto scrambled and it was delicious! I would recommend trying it if you love pesto. The inside felt very homie and we received excellent service!
