29/08/2024: Very good Coffee Shop. Being a regular, I was able to meet all the baristas at this Colombus who are all top notch.
The waiting time may sometimes seem long, but let's not forget that all drinks are made by hand in front of us. What they like. Which also means that you are served within 5 minutes (or less). Maximum 5min for 1 customer, if you are 3rd in line you might wait 15min. But the atmosphere of the place, the quality of the products and the kindness of the baristas are worth taking the time to go there. The sandwiches and muffins are also homemade the same morning, what a pleasure.
The welcome and customer relations are always great in my experience.
The team of 4 barsita are as professional as they are pleasant.
Today for example, a young blond barista with glasses served me, very respectful, there was a group of 4 people in front of me, I had my drink in less than 10 minutes. As there was no one behind me, the barista took the time to speak with me. I think the employees of this Columbus enjoy their work and enjoy customer contact. (I also highly recommend the cold brew caramel latte which is exquisite).
The young brunette barista knows the term "commercial gesture": a customer dropped his drink, the waitress kindly served him a new one.
The barista with green hair is incredibly kind and the tall dark-haired barista knows how to build customer loyalty like a boss.
Their last trainee who seems to have left was also very pleasant and was able to train very quickly!
Le colombus opens at 8 a.m. and closes at 7 p.m. on weekdays. I have already seen some people being refused when arriving just before closing, but as I explained when we can take 5 minutes per person, if we arrive at 6:55 p.m. and there are people in front of us, the barsita can only take one or two orders at max. (Not forgetting the too good to go who have already paid to have their baskets).
The location is great, in the city center, just above the cinema which allows you to relax after a day of shopping or while waiting for your movie to come ;)
The toilets are not accessible at the moment, after talking to the barsita the toilet was flushed... however public toilets are available in front of the colombus ;)
I am taking the time to write this comment because having looked at the reviews, I had the impression that some people were a little intransigent towards the employees of this company and that does not correspond to my daily experience. (Without wanting to contradict all experience, there are days with it and days without it...)
Don't hesitate to come, whether for a drink on the terrace with your friends or to work in a quiet place on your computer.
I highly recommend and hope you have the same experience as me.
(PS: it's raining today so the terrace is less desirable but it is very appreciable ;)
