Review Summary

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.

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.

This store makes the kind of hot chocolate I like. Not too sweet.

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

Went to try this cafe yesterday & was extremely disappointed with the food & service. I ordered a 7$ biscoff milkshake that ended up just being melted & just tasted like sweet milk. It wasn't frozen or thick like a milkshake should normally be. I was very disappointed & returned to the store right away to tell what seemed to be the owner running the store. He was very rude about remaking it but did & made a bunch of excuses for the low quality sweet milk… it was so disgusting & unsatisfying but the owner refused to give me my money back! I don't recommend this place, the owner is very rude & only cares about his costs & not customer satisfaction. If I could give zero stars i would!

The cheesecake was really good - rich, creamy, & well-balanced in sweetness. The white hot chocolate was smooth & comforting, overly sweet & served warm. The chocolate muffin was just okay - decent but nothing special compared to the other items. Overall, a nice experience, with the cheesecake being the highlight.
