The cafe's owner Kathleen Day has been working nonstop since the start of the coronavirus pandemic to keep her cafe open and helping the community.
\"We we forced to go to carryout only or take-out only and sales dropped up to 70%,\" Day told ABC News, adding that they have since transitioned to delivery and outdoor dining.
Try Katalina's Mexican \"French\" toast and sweet and spicy bacon in your kitchen to bring a taste of Columbus home.
