You’ve inevitably stumbled into this friendly neighbourhood cafe at some stage of your life, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee greets you like an old friend, and each bite of the pastries feels like grandma baked it.
As a cherished cornerstone of many communities, Columbus Coffee has been proudly locally owned and operated for over a quarter century. Nestled within Mitre 10 Megas, shopping malls and familiar local streets nationwide, you can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia any time you see the distinctive yellow and black branding.
Although they may be the big kid on the block, they’re keeping things fresh as the air turns crisp. The team at Columbus Coffee have whipped up a brand new menu to help you fight your winter woes. The dishes have a variety of flavours curated by skilled chefs on-site, using locally sourced seasonal produce.
These humble dishes have our mouths watering, top of that list? The Columbus Croissant. This breakfast classic has been elevated to new heights. Picture pan-fried ham, eggs, and melted cheese oozing within a toasted croissant, complemented by a savoury tomato kasundi for a bit of a kick with a herby basil pesto. Pair it with a steaming cup of their finest brew for a truly satisfying start to your day.
For those with a sweet tooth, the cabinets are loaded with freshly baked treats. Better yet, sit down and order the decadent rhubarb and red berry crumpets. Indulge in the ever-so-sweet harmony of rhubarb and red berry compote atop a golden crumpet, paired with citrus mascarpone yoghurt which gives it a zesty and creamy addition, oat crumble for that perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture, and a generous drizzle of honey will leave you wanting more.
And for the sandwich connoisseurs, tuck into the Italian Meatball Sandwich; as hearty as a sammy gets. Think succulent meatballs bathed in luscious pasta sauce, placed in a toasted ciabatta pocket and seasoned with a decadent cheese sauce and basil pesto. Served with a side of fries or salad, don’t blame us if you get hooked!
If that’s not your vibe, check your local Columbus Coffee for their Yellow Menu with carefully crafted faves specific to them. We’re talking classics like mince on toast or Angus Beef Burgers. It feels like home and there’s an option for everyone. Whether you have dietary requirements and allergens or are simply looking for a takeaway option (the cheese rolls fly out the door), these guys have loads of hearty options to get stuck into. Happy Days.
