Columbus Coffee — Restaurant in Nelson

Changed my previous review based on my last and final visit. We ordered a matcha latte and an iced matcha berry with some food. The drinks hadn't even made it to our table before the ingredients were separating, look disgusting and tasted worse! Tasted like a watery mess, clearly not nearly enough matcha put in there. The lady with short blonde hair who made these looked at how we had put both drinks on the corner of our table and kept noticeably giving us smug looks. Clearly not interested in improving. Neither of us finished our drinks, barely had two mouthfuls.

The first table we sat at, a worker from this cafe was with a friend talking very loudly and proudly about her drug use! Clearly they don't test here.

The final thing that amazed me, was watching them make smoothies, then lightly rinsing the jug and putting it back at the back of the beach for it's next use. Not worried about cross contamination for people who can't have dairy?

I ordered loaded fries which took 40mins to arrive at our table even though the place wasn't busy. Wasn't loaded with anything, tiny bit of melted cheese and teaspoon of gravy only. My guest ordered a slice, to which they forgot the yogurt they had offered her.

This whole visit was an absolute shambles from start to finish. Certainly...

have been a regular here but i came away today a bit dissappointed. The price of everything is $5 and more, food in the counter was closer to $10 each, sorry but i cant afford that. I settled with a raspberry muffin and a savoury scone. Never got the scone, was charged extra for the butter, the coffee was nice, and in a cup, but the muffin let me down a bit. I couldnt taste anything, there was very little flavour. My mother had a club sandwich which is her main reason for going here and she said it had no flavour, as in salt and pepper and that was nearly $8! Im wondering if theres been a staff change. The food was the same but dearer but the main man wasnt there and I was served by a young girl who couldnt crack a smile and thats not normal for this cafe. Will i go back again? Yes, atmosphere is lovely, I just cant order what id like so ill stick to the cheaper ones, like a scone...

We stopped in at Columbus Coffee and had such a great experience! We ordered the Pretzel BLT and the Columbus Breakfast — both were absolutely delicious. The BLT was packed with flavour and the pretzel bun was a seriously good touch, while the breakfast was hearty, perfectly cooked, and super satisfying.

A big thank you to the whole team — they were clearly busy but still kept things running smoothly with great service and a smile. Special shout out to Dana, Morgan and Keira for being so friendly and welcoming!

It was actually really nice sitting out in the garden centre too. There's something relaxing about being surrounded by plants while enjoying a good coffee and bite to eat — definitely gave the place a calm, fresh vibe that we really appreciated.

We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area....
