Columbus Coffee reviews
50Maybe it was too early in the morning for the staff, but my coffee tasted like milk and dishwater with no coffee - very disappointed on such a beautiful sunny Sunday morning.and the omelet takeaway we requested turned out to be a potato pattie and sausages.not even our relative in hospital care was fussed and took to the hospital food instead.
Really disappointed with quality of food, coffee luke warm, filling in counter Baps and Crossiant Roll was poor, ordered wedges not fresh, would not return to this Cafe. To tried to complain.
I ordered burrito and coffee
Delicious chicken burrito and amazing flat white coffee
Terrible service and food ordered a bacon and egg toasted bap came out cold and not toasted the Indian guy just slammed it on the table along with the coffees just very bad service.
Just another cafe. They engage in food deception with baps that look full but are in reality mostly empty. $11.50 for a couple of shabby strips of bacon and a poached egg on low quality bread? I was right to not go there for years and I won't be back. The photo looks better than it should.
The 1 star goes to coffee which was lovely, and this is where it sadly ends, my so called corn fritters were savoury pancakes dotted with minimal corn, the chicken filo was OK, but the star of this dismal show was the bacon and egg muffin with had a distinctive rancid taste and smell, after 1 bite we realised something was very wrong when we approached the waitress she took our meal away and came back saying that this is what it supposed to smell and taste like () and she can replace it but it will be same product quality, obviously we refused to accept this very "generous " offer, at no stage did the manager (I was advised his/her name was D) approached us to offer a different dish or a refund, the quality of customer care matches perfectly the quality of food, I'm going to stay away from this place and recommend anyone to follow suit
I'm here ordered poached eggs on toast, 15 mins later toast is cold and the poached eggs are raw, sent it back, now waiting to see how long its going to take to get a replacement meal and will these eggs be cooked. Second lot just the same, have walked out.
Very handy for getting coffee and food pieces when visiting the hospital. Friendly staff very friendly and helpful.
Most disappointing breakfast I have ever had, uncooked bacon and under cooked toast - all very lack luster - such a shame!
Disgusting service, as stated with my partner being allergic to eggs, nuts and soy, the lady (whom was the manager) put mayo all over the only “eggless” option on the menu, we explained again that we couldn’t have that. And asked for a replacement - or a refund she said no refunds or replacement.
Then we asked if she could please remake it as we didn’t want to waste our $26 only for her to be very rude about our allergies.
Would not recommend this place, service was disgusting, tables are dirty. And over all a horrible experience 1/10.
As I work in the hospitality industry this was a massive let down.
When I had received my meal, I found a piece of long black hair in my food, and showed the manager for her to say, we are making up story’s even though the hair looked exactly like hers, she had her hair down which is a no no in hospo.
Disgusting service and appalling behaviour from manager on duty.
First and formost, tables are dirty cups have lip marks and service was atrocious.
Hot drinks came out cold. We ordered a “hot chocolate “ and a cup of tea.
Ordering off the menu, we ordered the tacos and eggs Bennie. Food was cold and I found a long black hair in my food. (I am blonde) when confronting manager about the food she said we were making up stories and that she wouldn’t offer a refund. After this experience I didn’t wanna eat at such a dirty place. I felt very stressed as my son was having surgery in the hospital next door, she made my welcome very unpleasant and I would not recommend anyone with allergies to eat here. 1/10 recommend. Not only did I not want to eat here again, she continued to be very rude to me and told me it was my problem.
I will not be back and I will be letting my friends and family know how horrible the food, service and overall experience was.
Stay away from the bacon & egg bap as it's dry as the Sahara desert but the sausage roll is delish with melt in the mouth pastry and fennel flavoured tasty filling.
Columbus Cafe have catered for me twice now for a small working lunch. The selection of club sandwiches were delicious, beautifully presented and the process from ordering to pick up was excellent. Much appreciated and will definitely use again. Thank you!
Absolutely terrible experience. The blueberry muffin was stale and worse, served cold and I had to ask for butter. But did not matter as the muffin was inedible. The hot chocolate seemed to be made without chocolate. This branch is lucky that they can get away with this low level of service because they are right next to the hospital. Next time will go to the hospital cafe because they are not great, but at least they are reasonably priced and the pastries not stale.
After two weeks of eating the bland lacklustre food at the cafes in the Hospital I ventured out with a very low bar but the food was fantastic. It was flavoursome and the menu whilst small offered a variety of options. The cabinet food looked amazing. The cafe is worth the extra few steps out the front door. I regret not discovering it sooner!
14/11/22 around 9am ordered a Soy Gingernut Latte it only comes in one size, this didn't taste like Gingernut as the taste was bland & it wasn't hot enough, one word for it 'disappointed'. Customer service person needs to be attentive, could've suggested other items, instead came across as quite rude must've woke up too soon.decor was modern
The team here at Columbus are nothing but the best, making me feel special everyday I come for coffee or brunch.
Keep up the good work! ️
Super coffee and appreciated the kitchen staff being willing to cook my meal, in the late afternoon.
Fantastic.
Ordered the Angus beef burger. Huge serving but patty was sloppy and salad was all over. Wedges were a bit soggy and greasy.
Had lunch. A little disappointed with meal steak and mushroom. Steak overcooked and swimming with the mushroom sauce and a lot of garlic
