I travel the world and eat in some hellafine places but right here in my backyard in Tampa is the best one of all: Columbia’s, quality, Quality, QUALITY! These folks prepare the most wonderful food

Melissa Black

I'm torn on this one. I love the Columbia in Ybor & I love the setting of This cafe . Great venue to take kids bc they can play outside while you WAIT on your food. The food is great, service is slow.

Sylvia Reynolds-Blakely

On the River walk. Soup is delicious! Blue crab croquetta needs a remoulade :the pepper aoli helps. Gregory and Audri were wonderful! Eat at the bar you get a complimentary potato appetizer . Yum!!

Stacey Merrill

Don't be in a hurry, esp. If sitting outside. Tortilla Espagnola is bland but large, with perfect texture & fluffiness. Good gazpacho & decent Cuban. If you like dark sweet beer try cigar city Maduro

1905 salad , deviled crab (Tampa tradition), and Riojianna - close to chicken parm . At some point you have to have a cuban sandwich . I take my cold, by the "normal" way is pressed.

A great spot for lunch before or after a visit to the Tampa Bay History Center. I enjoyed the Mojo Chicken sandwich and they have a great kids' menu.

Krystle Lafontaine

Always great service. Best mojitos . Get the 1/2 cuban and 1/2 1905 salad ! Perfect combination.

Guava pasty is divine. Cafe con lech tastes American for me.

Great salad . Don't pass up sangria .

Chris Kallio

Sangria is a must-have. ????

Rob Speciale

The service is good, considering how understaffed they were. The servers genuinely hustled and did their best despite being about 40% short on people.

D Volp

Food was excellent! Waitress seemed like we were keeping her from something better!????????‍♀️

Bob Dixon

Mojitos , Froze’, atmosphere and service!
