The barista with the big biceps is hot. He should be shirtless.

Déjà, le service de la caissière était... d'une sympathie relative... mais après, quand j'arrive devant le barista, il me voit chercher une étiquette sur les pots de chocolat & de cannelle, très sympathique (pour vrai!) Il me dit lequel est lequel, mais en anglais (le lieu est présenté comme un'café FRANÇAIS'... ) ça me fait UN PEU chier à postériori mais vraiment, je ne le réalise pas immédiatement (Cinemon & chocolat... ça va... y'a pas mort d'homme) & sans arrière-pensée je lui dis, instinctivement'merci'... il me regarde avec des yeux de merlan frit, (j'en déduit) parce que je ne lui répond pas en anglais. Ils ont lu la loi 101 à l'envers, je pense.... ce serait plutôt à moi de faire des yeux de merlan... & comme je le dis, en vrai, c'est pas très grave c'est le barista, pas le caissier, mais ne me regarde pas comme ça si je lâche un merci en français. On est pas dans Westmount!!! surtout qu'il le sais très bien que je parle français, il était à côté durant la commande & j'était seul au comptoir! il m'as entendu, donc c'est pas qu'il à été surpris!
Surtout que même à NY,'merci'... tu sais comprendre!

En tout cas, ce café porte TRÈS bien son nom...

Do you remember the first time you rode a bike? Or what about the first time you received a passport? Life experiences such as these exceed our understanding of normalcy because they intrinsically remind us of our humanity & dignity. Likewise, I can say I remember my first time visiting Columbus Café & Co Crescent on 1370 Saint-Catherine St. W. - It was a cold February morning & at an ontological level I was curious to taste their mocha & chocolate hazelnut muffin. I was pleased with the order & service experience. Neither the Barista nor I brought up any controversial topics & we exchanged the warmest of superficial pleasantries. (The irregularities in cadence were undeniable) Needless to say. I went on to grab a seat & was eager to enjoy the environment let alone the warm beverage & delectable. I sat down at nearby table & sitting on the table was a sign. It wrote the following that Laptops were forbidden on the table. In smaller writing it wrote "Teleworkers, we love you but for parity, we're keeping some tables available for others. Thanks for your understanding." Being the teleworker that I am, it would be a bit of understatement to say my world was changed from those three little words "we love you". To know that as teleworker I'm loved by Columbus Café & Co... My heart was fluttered with emotions as I truly felt like I hit truly hit the psychological jackpot because I could now relinquish my feelings to this Café. I could receive the stability & emotional certainty I've been deeply craving. I could now truly believe that no matter what I do, how I act, what I say, I'm loved by this café. Folks.. to be honest.. I found the mocha pretty good, & the muffin a touch underwhelming. But when you're loved... When a café provides such fealty & steadfastness... Well.. You really can't put a price tag on this type of commitment.

This place has a pretty good vibe, efficient service, & friendly staff. It's got a fun atmosphere, partly thanks to their quirky bear-themed marketing, which is a nice touch. The location's great too, with plenty of seating available. The food is alright, & they were giving out free cookies that initially drew me in. Just a heads-up for the coffee lovers out there, though - the coffee might not be up to everyone's standards. the milk was very burnt, & the coffee somewhat bland. However, when I pointed this out, the barista was really understanding & made me another one without any hassle, which was much appreciated. Despite the coffee hiccup, the place is worth a visit for the overall experience & the top-notch service.
