Bloody Mary was perfect. Perfect amount of Spice
Love a small 1905 salad and sangria before my flight
I didn’t get to go to Ybor City while I was in Tampa unfortunately, but I found a wonderful restaurant at the airport-Columbia Restaurant. They had wonderful, friendly servers and the food was amazing. I had the pressed hot Cuban sandwich and their signature ’1905’ salad. It’s a generous portion of deliciousness!

Columbia Café at Tampa International Airport offers a welcoming atmosphere, with a perfect location near the gates. The friendly and attentive staff provide excellent service, and customers can order in person, which is appreciated in an airport setting. The menu features delicious options, such as the famous 1905 salad, bean soup, and half a Cuban. Flan is a must-try, and craft beers like Pernicious IPA are available to settle pre-flight nerves. The café's food is well prepared, with favorites like the Mojo chicken sandwich, Key lime pie, and bread pudding. While the crab cakes may sometimes be burnt, the overall experience is positive. The café is clean and not too loud, making it an ideal spot for a light lunch or breakfast before a flight. The relaxed, pleasant atmosphere and friendly service, especially from servers like Ricky, make it worth a stop, even with the nearby Delta lounge.
