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.

Le service était impeccable, par contre la nourriture vraiment pas bon. Le lait au chocolat chaud blanc c'est du lait chaud avec du sucre & le sandwich pain ciabatta tres tres sec .

They have I think eight different kinds of breakfast sandwiches, & they all have meat on them. Is lacto-ovo some secret to them? & all their pastries are refined flour & sugar. It's like something out of the 50s. I get the point, I'll go to Tim Hortons or anywhere else that has more than one option for people who don't need meat with everything.

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.

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.

Although I usually like the taste & the ambience, they gave me a wrong order .0245627520171E+34; I only realized it after I started to drink so I couldn't change it. What a waste!

I was able to replace the iced moka’s milk with oat milk & it was good. Cost a total of 8$. There is not a lot of sitting space & the decor has a bright sunny optimism to it but it still has that downtown metropolis feel.

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!

Après avoir dégusté leur cheesecake & gâteau au caramel, je suis déçu.

🍴: Le cheesecake manque de fraîcheur, tandis que le gâteau au caramel offre des saveurs & textures bien meilleures.

L'ambiance est agréable, mais un effort supplémentaire dans la propreté serait bienvenu.

Malgré le prix élevé, je recommande l'endroit pour y passer un bon temps après une petite marche ou après un restaurant.
