Café Pastries Sandwiches

Review Summary

Columbus Café & Co is described as a place with good coffee and tasty treats, a relaxed atmosphere, and friendly staff. The space is large and often used for work, with plenty of seating and a nice terrace, but the music can be too loud at times. The espresso and lattes are highly praised, as are other drinks such as London fog, while some reviewers note that coffee can cool quickly in cold weather and should be sipped promptly.
