About

Story

Alongside Columbus’ superb coffee, we offer a wide range of wholesome and delicious foods. We have a full kitchen with chefs who ensure our deli cabinet is well stocked with delicious treats for everybody.

In addition to the deli foods, we have an extensive kitchen menu including breakfasts, lunches and healthy options. Columbus Coffee took a stand on providing healthy options in cafes several years ago, to help tackle the nation’s obesity problem and provide people with dietary intolerances options to eat out.

We’re proud that the Timaru Columbus Coffee offers gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free and vegan Lifestyle Favourite options alongside several nutritionist-approved Healthy Food Guide Recipe items. We also have refined-sugar free ranges of beverages for those wanting a healthier option.

And so after much planning and crafting, our original Columbus Coffee café opened its doors in Auckland’s bustling CBD. Amidst the heady aroma of roasting beans, we gave people the opportunity to discover the sensory delights of the freshest coffee from around the world and learn the art of great coffee making with tastings & demonstrations.

Until then we’d been a nation of devout tea drinkers. However, with this new type of café, Columbus Coffee set new standards and started the conversation about premium coffee and true café experiences. A conversation that has continued with great momentum and influenced many of today’s cafés.
Our journey continues, our focus remains the same.
As cafés grew to become �the social heart of many communities, we also grew. Both in number and in growing our offer to include delicious freshly prepared food from our kitchens. Over the past two decades we’ve opened our doors in more and more communities throughout �the country. Each one locally owned, contributing their own flair to make Columbus Coffee a local favourite everywhere.

And through this growth our focus has remained as it was when we first opened our doors. Tastes from our own door step and around the world - variety, freshness and exciting new experiences.
We encourage you to discover the faces and flavours of each Columbus Coffee store and hope each and every visit leaves you feeling welcomed, refreshed and inspired to return.
