Review Summary

Columbus Café & Co. offers a mixed experience where many patrons appreciate the friendly service, efficient staff, and a pleasant environment perfect for a quick bite or study session. The menu features a wide selection of muffins and high-quality bagels, often serving as a convenient alternative to busier local spots. However, some visitors find the coffee quality inconsistent, noting that drinks can occasionally taste diluted or overly sweet. While the atmosphere is generally well-regarded, some feedback highlights concerns regarding cleanliness in the dining area, the aesthetic appeal of the interior decor, and occasional lapses in barista training. Overall, the location remains a popular destination for those seeking a reliable, hassle-free meal and a casual setting.

The Columbus chain is something in between your hometown's'' artisan coffee shop'' &'' Starbucks''. They are a French chain with a few branches in Quebec.

The one in Plateau is a wonderful place. It is spacious & naturally illuminated. Clean & looks chic. In summers, they also bring an outside terrace.

Washrooms are well maintained but could be below the wow level depending on the day. Yet they keep them clean constantly & would help you with Toilet papers etc, if they run out.

Coffee choice is great. Quality & taste is Way better than any big chain but falls short of an artisan one. Barristers are well aware of the products & they do an excellent job.

Staff - Generally very very friendly. There are lots of daily visitors. I would not say every staff is the same. With some, you feel kind of ignored.

Good food choice. Sadly though, they have not changed much. They could certainly replace some sandwiches & muffins which do not taste good.

If you are a Digital Nomad, you need to be aware of four things.

Wifi is superbe.

Only four charging ports are available.

Some tables are not for Laptops. ( Which is understandable)

The loyalty program is useless.

Overall, I would certainly recommend the Columbus on Plateau to everyone. It is a place for everyone.

Friendly service & great coffee! The Mont Royal location is perfect to grab a coffee & take a break from exploring the plateau area. The crema café is delicious. The mocha latte was well made too. Can feel a bit crowded & difficult to move around when too many people in the café, but still highly recommend if in the area.
