Columbus Coffee

Maybe 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Had been looking forward to a Thai beef salad since the amazing one I had in Rotorua last summer. Today's at the Auckland Hospital was awful, so full of gristle it was unedible but I did finish the green parts. Zero quality. Regarding the top of Queen Street branch why don't they just close it down. Its either kitchen closed (1pm) we're out of ingredients, or were closed today because everyone is sick sory to hear that bit! But i still havnt got over the horrid eggs from 1 year ago. It had more butter than toast, soft egg when I asked for hard and streaky bacon that was just pure fat. You'll often find far better quality in the provinces, it's true. Sorry but I had fast gone off Columbus before today's lunch and thought give it another go. Now it's final, no more. Cabinet food looks good but scone average recipe

This store was already closed before 3pm ;- (no idea why. Website and notice said 4/5pm closing time

Keep on top of these people with ur large coffees they try give u a small 1st time they got away with it 2nd time No. $24 for a burger‍️

Staff do not listen when you order.they give you the incorrect food order.
Muffins are dry and uneatable, please serve fresh food in future as we work hard for our money.

22.90 or something like that for the big breakfast.not what i expected! Eggs were meant to be poached but were hardboiled. 2 pieces of toast that looked like a sandwich cut, sausages the size of my pinky finger, bacon that you could snap because it was burnt.really disappointing.

Really disappointed re lack of flexibility. Asked just for a plain waffle for my sick daughter in starship.said they could do that but charge $21 for entire waffle dish on the menu

Ordered the scrambled eggs with toast, they have used a lot of Milk when making them as the eggs had a lot of whey separation. Also compleatley and utterly flavourless. Toast was OK

Ordered a coconut milk coffee without sugar, wasn't told the milk has added sugar. Called back to ask if this was the case as the coffee tasted sweet and they confirmed and proceeded to hang up. Bad service! Beware.

Foodcourt quality of service. Waiting for too long for items that look nice but taste like they’ve been sitting in a fridge for a week. Coffee average. Service poor, older cashier seems to only mind processing payments, no friendly chatter between baristas, and very very dirty tables with bird poo.
One of those places you visit once and avoid forever.

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.

Ordered the Angus beef burger. Huge serving but patty was sloppy and salad was all over. Wedges were a bit soggy and greasy.
