Columbus Café & Co is committed to working as much as possible with local suppliers to promote French employment and know-how. In addition, our network of coffee shops encourages the use of quality raw materials and simple products with good sugar and good fat: because at home we are greedy above all!
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.
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

Touriste venant de la Suisse j'ai été très bien servis, le personnel est souriant & très sympathique, la nourriture est un régal & sans parler du latte de l'ours qui est juste exceptionnel. N'hésitez pas foncé je le recommande vivement !
Accueil chaleureux & service irréprochable. Je prends mon café chaque matin dans ce Columbus & je tiens à souligner la gentillesse de Valentin, toujours souriant & préparant d'excellents Latte de l'Ours.
Columbus Café offre une ambiance chaleureuse & accueillante, idéale pour se détendre ou travailler dans un cadre confortable. Dès que l'on entre, on se sent enveloppé par une atmosphère cosy, avec une décoration soignée & un éclairage doux qui invitent à la détente. Le personnel est toujours souriant & attentionné, ce qui renforce ce sentiment de bien-être. Les boissons & pâtisseries sont délicieuses, avec des options variées qui raviront tous les goûts. C'est l'endroit parfait pour une pause gourmande ou un moment convivial entre amis. Un vrai havre de paix en pleine ville !
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.

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.
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.
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!
