Highly recommend! This place is incredible and much better than any of the other local spots. My girlfriend and I live in NYC and have been here for a long weekend. All the other local spots were mediocre and service was terrible....not here! Highly recommend, great coffee, great service and the breakfast sandwiches were great! Don't waste your morning waiting for food at table and fig.

My goto item at 901 Columbus is the breakfast burrito. However, on my most recent visit, I decided to change things up and try the WAFFLE. It came topped with an inordinate amount of whip cream and some blue berries. So delicious! The service here is rushed but good. They will gladly answer any questions you have about their offerings. The decor in here is decent, but nothing spectacular. Note - this place ain't cheap. Expect to pay $8 for a cappuccino with oat milk. And it won't be a large cup. That's quite high, even for the city. Note #2 - if you get the BLT, be sure to ask for the bacon to be crispy.

After celebrating new years at Fort Mason, we overslept and ended up waking up close to noon. We had to find something that we could grab and go and I'm sure glad that I found this place on Yelp. This is a smallish cafe/bagel shop with a good amount of seating for its size. The menu had a lot of standard sandwiches and bagel options in addition to a good amount of unique combinations that we've never thought would go together. We decided to venture out and order the Point Reyes bagel which had a complimentary combination of cream cheese, red onions, cucumber, tomatoes, with a guest appearance of pastrami. Never had this combo before and was certainly curious. Presentation was great, nice arrangement of colors, all the toppings were distributed evenly and looked very appetizing. Once I took the first bite - I was in awe on how delicious this combination was. Even better, the bagel was one of the best I've ever had, period. Good sized, crunchy on the outside, light and soft on the inside. Each bite had a combination of freshness, creaminess and protein and saltiness from the pastrami. I highly recommend checking out this place for breakfast/lunch. I will definitely be back to try their other bagels and sandwiches. Their coffee is awesome too. The associate made on coffee on the spot while we ordered at the register. This place is a must go!

Stumbled upon 901 Columbus Cafe and had a good first experience. I originally came in for some coffee and a breakfast pastry, but was welcomed by so much more including plenty of sandwich choices on their menu, gelato, and drinks. Service was friendly and efficient; exactly what you would hope for when you're on the run in the morning. Overall, a positive visit. Stopped in on a weekend morning and there were several patrons inside enjoying their breakfast. I opted for a Zebra Mocha and a croissant. The Zebra Mocha was a strong mix of White and Dark Chocolate incorporated into an iced mocha. It was a little sweet for my liking, but I think that was to be expected based on the composition of the drink. The croissant was fresh, warm, and flakey. A great way to balance out the sweetness of the Zebra Mocha. The only downside is that pricing was a little high for the items. 901 Columbus Cafe is a cute spot. They have seating inside for patrons to enjoy their food and, as mentioned, service was kind and quick. There are a lot of tasty looking treats and menu items I could see myself trying in the future. Looking forward to visiting again.

This little cafe is delicious! We enjoyed a scrumptious Apple Cider on a cold evening.

Got the BLTM (BLT with mayo) while waiting for the show at the comedy club next door to start. Crispy bacon, fresh tomato and lettuce, on nice warm panini pressed bread, and the mayo tied it together quite well. It's an inviting space with a well-priced menu, could see myself being a regular if I lived close by. There's currently a shark theme going on from the featured photos on the wall and in the bathroom, so sharkaphobes beware- it's temporary though per the servers!
