Columbia Café at Tampa International Airport

Columbia Café at Tampa International Airport is a solid win for airport food. We grabbed breakfast and everything came out fresh and fast — fluffy omelet with simple sides, a classic pressed sandwich (perfectly toasted), and a strong café con leche to top it off. Debbie was our waitress and she was so lovely—warm, attentive, and made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. It’s a great break from the usual airport options: clean setup, quick service, and genuinely good quality for being in an airport. Would absolutely stop here again before a flight. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nice quick restaurant with good food in the Tampa airport. The 1905 salad is very good with their signature dressing. Tried the Cuban as the menu said it was rated the best sandwich in Florida by food and wine magazine. It's definitely not that at least at this.location. while I found the Cubbn good. I've had better Cuban sandwiches let alone the best in the state. Still would come back and enjoy another meal here at the airport when passing through. Something to note...they do have options for kids. However they don't publicize them on the menu in the restaurant or online which is a big mistake as we almost didn't go to the restaurant in fear they didn't have any options for kids.

Stopped in here before our flight out. Staff were extremely friendly and attentive, drinks were made quickly and food came out pretty quickly for how busy they were. The wine and expresso martini were great! The food I wouldn't eat here again, maybe it's just off today but we got the MOJO chicken sandwich with fries and there was not really any taste to it. Wouldn't order again. Drinks though were fabulous and everyone was super nice and seated us quickly.

We had breakfast here while waiting for our flight. Server was friendly, food arrived quickly and was very good. I had the breakfast sandwich, which came with potatoes. Hubby had the French toast, which came with choice of ham, bacon, or chorizo sausage. The place is beautiful. We really enjoyed it. Doesn't feel like an airport cafe.

I love the Columbia in Ybor so had to try the signature salad at the airport location. Be warned, it is heavy on the garlic, so keep that in mind if you are about to be hopping on a flight. Coffee was 10/10.
