This café, located next to Mitre 10, serves a decent cup of coffee and has a vibe that reminds me of an IKEA restaurant. As a nice bonus, there's free sparkling water available beside the tap. While it can get a bit busy at times, the lively atmosphere and the view of the plants next door make the experience enjoyable.

My husband and I had coffee and the cheese scones (the best) we also tried the new blueberry coconut tart which was delicious will definitely do that again. Very impressed with the customer service seems to have improved with new staff/ management😊

After walking to two different coffee places in the area that said they were open I came to Columbus. I’m glad I did it is a lovely atmosphere (open space and a nice view outside) and great coffee. The staff were great! Would recommend.

Not the most welcoming place to have lunch. Do they like customers? And if they get a few customers in at once the wheels fall off. A wait of 20 minutes for a coffee and something ordered from the front food counter shouldn't take that much time. Could be so much better.

My sister and i visited and both had the date and orange scone, they were very over cooked dry and inedible. We asked to be replaced for cheese, which they did bur afterwards i felt incredable intimidated and made to feel unwelcome. I could not wait to leave. I visited again with a elderly friend, we both had a cheese scone which was nice but the service was terrible , no smiles, no pleasantries I won't go back
