Columbia Coffee Lounge

Popped over to Scunthorpe for a change of scenery and was in need of a post shopping pick me up. The Columbia Cafe has a good location just off the main shopping area. Went in fancying just a coffee...but then saw the cake selection and my wife and I had to have a piece. I had a succulent carrot cake, and my wife had a Nutella/Cookie dough cake. I also decided to have the Latte Supreme [which has whipped cream on the top as well]. They cakes were very tasty and the caffine and sugary treats gave us more energy to hit the high street again.

My partner and I nipped in for a quick breakfast. I opted for the poached eggs on toast. I was appalled to receive two poached eggs that had clearly been made in one of those horrible microwave containers! No runny yolk, no fresh egg white, just rubbery, over-cooked microwave eggs! And all whilst under new ownership- not a great start. Will certainly not be returning.

The Columbia is the best koffee shop /cafe in Scunthorpe,forget Starbucks or Costa coffee, they serve expensive mud compared to the Columbia.

Great little cafe in the middle of the town centre. Coffee good and the cakes are fab. Often designed around kids chocolate bars (dine bar cake, caramac cake etc etc) However, worth a stop for lunch too jacket pots are nice as are paninis. Always very clean and staff are all very pleasant

We decamped to the café having been badly let down (for the second time) by our usual meeting place. We were given the upstairs, plenty of room along with excellent coffee and cakes. The group have decided to meet here for future meetings. The welcome 5 stars, coffee ditto, cakes ditto. We'll be back.
