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.
Local coffee shop with basic drinks & good muffins.
Stopped by to get a quick meal & soak up some local café vibes. The space was larger than most coffee shops I've seen in the city, but nearly every seat was taken. Mostly students studying or hanging out.
They had a wide selection of muffins that all looked tempting, so I went with the chocolat noisette & a matcha latte. The matcha, though, tasted more like sweetened milk than tea. Closer to a Dunkin' version than anything matcha. Even after a bite of Nutella from the muffin, the drink still tasted sugary (Probably caters better to a younger crowd). The muffin itself, though, was soft & satisfying.
Right in the middle of Mont Royal ave this is a ok spot, specially during summer. I went there many time to chill out but I m not going anymore. Coffees & cakes are ok but average(compared to all famous bakeries around), however pear Muffin is awesome. Staff is not making anything to give you a special atmosphere & are not always that friendly, specially one young lady with glasses(she's so weird & unfriendly someone who shouldn't work at a coffee with clients).
Coffee was a bit bland, not suitable for people who like a stronger taste. But the tea tastes really good. Overall a great environment & the service was amazing!
