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.

Great coffee. I love vanilla in my latte, & this was one of a few places that offered this.

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.

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.

This place is perfect to work from. They have a nice selection of pastries & drinks to choose from. I worked from the coffee shop for about three hours & really enjoyed it. It did get a tad cold at times but overall easy environment to be in. As for food, we got the croissant & vegan brownie along with the mocha & chai tea latte which were all solid

Genuinely a good coffee place, I was surprised! Skeptical at first about this chain since it took over the Starbucks I was accustomed to sitting at during my university days (where I went to study, not drink coffee), I decided to give it a go since it's close to my apartment. I ordered a decaf latte with oat milk to-go & took a sip when I got outside. Surprising! Very good, perfectly extracted, & comforting. It could have been because I was sleep deprived, or because I just really wanted coffee, but I was surprised by how much i enjoyed it. My family is obsessed with coffee preparation so I'm familiar with what a good cup is like. I can't speak to the preparation of the regular beans, but the decaf was a winner for me.

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!
