Columbus Coffee - Pukekohe

We've been here several times and always get good friendly service and great food. Yesterday we had toasted sandwiches with a date and orange scone and coffees. Was a lovely break in a really nice setting on a horrible rainy day ... Thanks

Really liked the Belgian Hot Chocolate with the chocolate fish and the Eggs Benedict were so good, just wish there was a little more Hollandaise sauce

Ordered takeaway, had to be quick and coffee was fast ordering and making Coffee wasn't burnt and was drinkable right away Overall was yum and service was good

In a town where dining options are starting to rival that of Ponsonby Road, chain stores often get overlooked. Such seems to be the case with Columbus Coffee based down at the Mitre 10 Mega on Manukau Road. Tucked away to the side by the garden centre, this not so wee cafe is a great family place to eat. There are outdoor tables in the garden area itself; indoor tables, bar leaners and banquettes; and a lounge area that also comprises a kids' table and play area. Should older kids get weary, there is a playground right near the entrance.<br/ On this occasion we ordered the cheese scone and the bagel with salmon, cream cheese and capers. The scone was light and fluffy; we had the option of having it heated and buttered but as it was for the toddler I declined. The bagel was served not only toasted but still hot and with a generous amount of sides to assemble for my personal preference. I also ordered a mocha latte handily guided by their wall poster and found this a pleasant drink.<br/ Service was pleasant although a tad on the slow side as I think staff members were taking a break before the lunch rush. There was around a ten fifteen minute wait on the coffee but it was served with an apology which always helps.<br/ For families, the ability to eat and know that your child is fairly contained in an area with lots for them to do is invaluable. Avoid the area when major Motorsport events are on (it is right next to Pukekohe Raceway) but other than that it is a delightful place to have a family brunch.<br/ <br/ Sarah Reynolds #challenge

We enjoy coming to this cafe when we are shopping at Mitre 10. Coffee is great and a nice selection of food items to choose from. Could you PLEASE be a little more generous with the butter you provide for the scones and muffins. Have been twice lately and just a small slither of butter provided.
