Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Columbus Café & Co as a welcoming spot with good coffee, tasty sweets, and friendly staff, offering a reliable cafe experience whether stopping by for a quick drink or a study session. The vibe is frequently praised and drinks such as the matcha latte, the bear latte, and a comforting white hot chocolate are highlighted, along with fast service and pleasant seating, and desserts like cheesecake. Several comments point to cleanliness issues like crumbs or dirty tables and floors, and some guests note cold interiors, lack of music, or the use of paper cups instead of porcelain which affects warmth. A few experiences mention language gaps or moments of unwelcoming treatment, though many readers find the staff attentive and cheerful. Taken together, Columbus Café & Co emerges as a popular local option for coffee and desserts, with standout items and friendly service offset by occasional cleanliness and ambiance inconsistencies.

This coffee shop is a hidden gem, thanks to our former computer instructor's restaurant recommendation! The chocolate cake is to die for! Can't wait to come back for their white hot chocolate & more chocolate cake! Most importantly, the staff are super friendly & helpful to customers like my boyfriend & I, with a visual impairment.

Bad cold coffee & super dirty milk & cream flask!!! Like the flask tips & top are literally broken & look very nasty! & they charge 3$ for a small filter coffee! Horrendous! Last time for us here, much better stick to Timmies

I paid my latte with tips included, the girl who made the coffee gave me a dirty cup with green things on top. I myself teach tea ceremony & know it may be matcha. BUT what I ordered was a cup of latte, not matcha tea; that is, the girl made my coffee in an used/ dirty cup which is universally unacceptable. However, when I pointed this out, her coworker, a young guy, kindly remade my coffee with excellent attitude. The time was around 6:45 PM, April 21, 2026.

I like the aesthetic of this place, & the branding/logo. It also has really good coffee & sweets. We visited a few times during our 5 day stay in the city.

Coffee & hot chocolate are fine, however the atmosphere is meh. No music & it's very cold. Bathrooms are also not clean.

my trip was great before i decided to stop by this coffee shop for some cheesecake & matcha latte.

cheesecake was good, a bit too sweet for my liking but it was not bad. matcha latte was ok, tasted like watered-down & not made of quality matcha.

felt like i was unwelcomed & looked down upon by server though, may or may not because i didn't know french & didn't know the name of the cheesecake i wanted to order. she tried to help which i was grateful for, but the whole interaction from the moment i stepped into the store was a bit unwelcoming.

the seats & area looked dirty, table was not cleaned & had crumps everywhere. if you're a tourist i wouldn't recommend you to come here, try other cafe shops around the area first. unless you need a space to study/work, otherwise don't waste your time here

From the time that I got to Montreal, this was my go to cafe, since they have really nice espresso & the best chocolatine! Not to mention the nicest beautiful servers.. I didn't even look at Starbucks & other cafes, this is where you get real coffee! & oh.. really delicious carrot cake, would absolutely recommend!

It's modern but showing wear on the tables. No custom or simple bagels everything is a premade sandwich. Their cortado's was horrible, bubble foam... But the drip (filter) coffee was fine. Not very busy at 9:30 most weekend mornings.

This place is perfect for working remotely. They offer a nice selection of pastries & drinks to choose from, making it an ideal spot for both work & relaxation. I spent about three hours here working & found the environment to be very conducive to productivity. Although it did get a tad cold at times, the overall atmosphere was comfortable & inviting. As for the food, we tried the croissant & vegan brownie, both of which were delicious. The mocha & chai tea latte we ordered were equally impressive, with rich & satisfying flavors. The combination of tasty treats, good drinks, & a pleasant work environment makes this coffee shop a great choice for anyone looking to work away from the office. Highly recommended for its convenience, quality offerings, & overall ambiance.
