Columbus Café is a human adventure. You will find committed people, baristas who share their know-how as much as their good humor, passionate producers and entrepreneurs.
At Columbus Café, we cultivate the spirit of the neighborhood café and the love of good taste.
Our big-hearted bear is more than just a mascot: he embodies the brand's warm, comforting, and friendly spirit. A symbol of kindness and closeness, he evokes the idea of a welcoming place where you feel good.
"At Columbus Café, our aim is to delight you with exceptional coffees and food that's as healthy as it is delicious.
Live, share, enjoy , that's our motto!

Columbus Café & Co is committed to working as much as possible with local suppliers in order to promote employment and local expertise.
Furthermore, our network of cafes encourages the use of quality raw materials and simple products with good sugar and good fats: because we're gourmets first and foremost!
Our products are fresh and of high quality.
Most of our recipes are prepared daily in our cafés by our baristas. Our coffee is roasted locally, showcasing local expertise.
To offer you the best possible quality, we mainly work with suppliers and local partners.
We source the majority of our ingredients from Canada, with nearly 85% of them being of Canadian origin.
We select with the utmost rigour high-quality raw materials by favouring raw produce, good fats and good sugar.
We make sure reduce the salt quantity of our recipes and the use of palm oil.
Putting roots locally, goes beyond words.
We believe that being from here also means giving back by supporting at least twenty local events and partners each year.
