Always a pleasant experience here. You can’t fault the food, and there’s an underlying attentiveness to the service that makes you feel genuinely looked after, never fussed over. Big thank you to Chef Jessie and the rest of the team!

Very satisfied repeat customers, loving the new menu. Hubby wolfed down the pancakes & I devoured the Avo on toast! Thanks chefs Jessie & Belen. Stunning flavours, Fast & efficient service and beautiful presentation.

Yum! And very helpful 🙂 Chef Jessie adapted a dish especially for our tastes and all of our meals were beautifully presented and very tasty. He is clearly working hard to make customers happy. Impressive for a cafe attached to a hardware store. Highly recommend the chicken katsu bowl, egg and bacon pie and pancakes. Choc milkshake was amazing and we are always happy with the coffee.

Chef Jessie went out of his way to accommodate my food preferences. Food, service I couldn't rate higher! Refreshing and delightful to find a chef that put people first. Food amazing and exactly as described!

This place definitely deserves 5 stars. ⭐️
We are a family of 4 living just in the corner and we have been to here many times.
The angus beef burger is highly recommended, both my kids love it, almost ordered it weekly for a treat.
Sometimes I take my little one to have a yummy dissuade roll and a cup of coffee, very relaxing time.
Jessie the Chef is very nice, our kids love the kitchen food he made. He is always seeking chances to talk to people for feedback when not too busy, thank you 😊
And the girls are doing a great job in making coffee, and great customer services as well!
Wish all the staff in Columbus Coffee Papanui have a great day, and happy new year! 🎈
