Pastries save the day, service ruins it.

Cafe Columbia serves up coffee and bagels that are as hit or miss as a game of roulette. A G found the pastries and bagels 'really great,' while Clay raved about the smoked salmon bagel for only £4.50. However, Isadora's and Giovana's experiences were more like horror stories; the staff’s bare-hand food handling was enough to make anyone squirm. Wiam’s bagel was apparently a brick of old dough, and Maria had to endure a mini lecture on volume control as she tried to enjoy her meal. Overall, if you want a side of hospitality with your bagel, maybe go elsewhere.
