Across the reviews, Columbus Café & Co is described as a lively, welcoming spot with friendly staff and a calm, productive vibe, where drinks like espresso, lattes and matcha, along with desserts such as cheesecake, are praised, though some readers find certain beverages too sweet and note occasional inconsistency; cleanliness is a mixed bag, with remarks about dirty tables and bathrooms and seats that could be more comfortable, and a few experiences feel less welcoming due to language barriers or service at the counter; the cafe is frequently seen as a good place to study or work thanks to ample seating and a relaxed atmosphere, while others emphasize that the ambiance can be cold or lacking music, depending on the visit; overall, it comes across as a strong go-to option in the area for quality coffee and desserts and a friendly service vibe, with caveats about upkeep and consistency.
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.
Better than most of the similar Cafe places but with one issue: dirty interior. Spider web 🕷 & dirty windows, dirty floor. Other than that, it is a decent place to hang out & work

It's a great place to get your morning coffee, a croissant & relax. Great atmosphere & service. We had two croissants déjeuner, one café filtre, one café latte & a cappuccino. The total with tip was $30.87 for three people.
This Columbus & the one on park avenue are the best cafes I've been in Montreal. Columbus coffee reminds me of Second Cup coffee in the 90's before the quality started going downhill. This branch on Crescent is the coolest coffee chain & location in the heart of Montreal. Staff have great personality & are profesional. Love coming to this location everyday after work.
Des pâtisseries rassies le matin car ils vous en donnent des vieilles d'un ou plusieurs jours. Le service client est soit ordinaire, soit incroyable, selon qui vous obtenez. Les commandes de boissons sont correctes 2 fois sur 5. Je ne suis même pas une personne difficile mais ce café est en train de se dégrader 😭...
Super spot pour déguster & apprécier un bon café avec une sélection de pâtisseries & snacking pour accompagner tout cela . Super équipe très souriante & réactive ! Marcel le manager au top toujours dans une bonne énergie ! A très vite 😁

3 stars for their instable wifi. I have to say it is the best location you can have around this main street. very close to Apple Store. If you would like to work here using your laptop. it might not be a good idea like other commenters said here, sometimes you have to connect to the trois brasseur wifi (which is still not very good dut to the distance). However, when you finally connect to their in-store wifi, your experience would be perfect. i like their food their drink & cafe. you had better stay here for a while but not for here so long.
Attention à la clientèle près de Crescent Street qui peut manquer cruellement de savoir vivre & de « raffinement » ; à fuir comme la peste si ça vous arrive. Sinon, ambiance agréable avec une seconde clientèle plus jeune & respectueuse des autres dans le café.
Plein à craquer, aucune place pour s'asseoir. Une petite queue avant de pouvoir commander. Excellent café. Le service est très bien. 2ème expérience dans un café Columbus. J'aimerais dans un avenir rapprocher que des tasses en céramique soient offertes. J'aimerais en acheter pour ma copine & moi.

I really like hanging out & working in Columbus Cafes, but I got here today & I had to register a bunch of info in order to use the wifi. Why do you need my full name & my gender to use Wi-Fi? Plus, if you're asking for gender, should at least give the option of non-binary or "other"... Found it kind of creepy & unnecessary.
Very disappointing experience compare to other Columbus cafe & Co. Wi-Fi does not work, only one charging spot. I ordered a cut of cold brew & half of it is foam & very priced as well.
I was visiting Montreal for 4 days, & when I tried the cafe latte there I wouldn’t take it anywhere else during the rest of my stay. Delicious coffee, seriously!
