Ordered a carrot cake and a banana cake which were both delicious. The cream cheese filling inside the banana cake was a pleasant surprise! The carrot cake was moist and the walnut pieces always makes a classic combination with cream cheese icing! Paired well with a trim flat white. My sister had a hot chocolate which she enjoyed. Will be trying more of the menu in the nearer future.
always buy coffee here and waiting for my kids playing at playground next to cafe. There's pretty good food too. Friendly service nice coffee
Got a ice Americana and tasted good.
Just the right amount of ice. Kept me going while my kids played at the playground.
This place was packed. But the service was efficient.

Update on 2 Sep 2018:
Had our light lunch and coffee here today. This place was packed with customers today.
We had chicken filo, almond & blueberry tart, and flatwhites. Both the chicken filo and almond & blueberry tart were good. The flatwhites were as aromatic and awesome as usual.
👍👍👍
My previous comments:
Having coffee at this store now. Have been here numerous times, love their coffee.
The flat whites are very lovely with aromatic coffee smell and nice coffee taste. Their coffees are certainly above average.
Very nice and cosy ambience. The place is pretty clean, neat and tidy. I like the self service water dispenser, you can see how it looks like in the photos I attached. It is clean and there are two options, still and sparkling water.
The staff are very friendly and polite.
The cabinet foods look very appealing, clean, organised and presentable, much better than a lot of other cafes. Will try their cabinet foods next time.

Very pleasant environment, service is above average, food was very filling, though quite bland like most cafe foods. Albeit last but not least the coffee was superb!
The times I've been here have been ok, small space when busy and raining as they can't really have the outside area open so would be nice if they could make a more permanent setting for rainy days similar to what garrisons have. Coffee and scones are nice breakfast can be sometimes as well but overall not a bad cafe in the mall
I'm quite surprised why this cafe is low rated when this actually exceeded my expectations. We enjoyed the hot chocolate and flat white, both quality and quantity wise, i enjoyed the cranberry panini. Customer service was really good and the place was very crowded, so not sure why this is rated 2.5 when it deserves atleast 4 star rating
We ate big coffee lovers & we had Flat white & Latte here with a pasteriee. Honestly I don't remember the name but it was of chocolate base. Pasteriee was yum & perfect in taste. We loved it.
Flat white was soothing to drink just like the way it should be. I had Latte & I felt like thr was lil difference in the taste of coffee. But overall we had good experience.
They have indoor & outdoor seating. It was nice sunny day so v enjoyed outdoor seating. It was lively.
This Columbus outlet has two seating areas - inside and outside. Both are really nice. Food/beverages are overall good - need to be fresher. Staff is friendly and service standards are high. Overall, a cool place. Will go again.
Everything at the café is fresh ,creative and tasty. Staffs are friendly and keep the café clean. The café also has a beautiful garden view.
I Usually go there on weekends with kids. Great to park kids in play area , fabulous barista made coffee and tasty food, very friendly and approachable staff.
Been here a few times with my little miss3, she loves Columbus as so many treats coffee is yum- over priced but I collect the points will be back
I love coming here for breakfast in the weekend Rob is an amazing barista and does the best lattes, and goes above and beyond for customer service, the supreme omelette is really good and cabinet food always looks fresh and tasty
Lots of seating, quick friendly service, yum food, nice music
I was pleasantly surprised. Haven't been to Columbus in a while and their coffee was really nice! I prefer it to their big competitor to be honest. Ordered a BLAT sandwich and it was yum, can't complain. It's location is a bit far away from the busyness of the mall, which is actually why we went there. There wasn't a lot of cabinet choices for my vege friend though.
It's my favourite cafe at Sylvia Park (least likeable is Coffee Club). We are always welcomed by friendly staff here, what's even better is this delicious keto cheese cake, every cafe should have sugar free option in their cabinet. Cheers to this lovely store!
Friendly staff, good coffee, I had cappuccino and the hazelnut cronut. This outlet is spacious with seats inside and also outside if you prefer.

Friendly staff big bonus for me and my kids is the park across the way close enough to watch them while you eat food is scrumptious not to extravagantly expensive but worth every cent the eggs Benedict is the right amount of ingredients eggs are runny but firm bacon is cooked perfectly hot chocolate is the right amount of heat and coffees are not too bitter perfectly roasted well-deserved heavenly spot for sanctuary if you need to regroup and let the kids play it’s one of my favourites Coffee spots in Sylvia park
First stop over for a feed since arriving in beautiful Auckland - so pretty ravenous! Cute corner in the shopping centre so parking is not an issue. Prices are a little steep for ordinary breakfast options. Big brekkie (Columbus breakfast) was $22 - I’ve seen the same amount for cheaper locally. Alas, cute deco, bumping playlist and chill workers :)
Sparkling water and normal water on tap which is pretty luxe.
Service is “sweet as” everyone is very friendly but what do you expect from Kiwis. Wouldn’t mind popping in again for a spicy Chai latte but perhaps not food.
Lovely environment (very kids-friendly, the playground was next to it) and great foods, the most generous omelette I ever seen! If you are having trouble to find the shop, it is opposite the The Baby Factory. Photos speak louder then words ;)
We love the food at Columbus. Sadly one of 3 X eggs on toast ordered was entirely incorrect 🤪
We had a small wedding here! Worked very well for a cozy wedding with a few close friends and family. The team were super helpful hosts and everything went really smoothly. Thanks for the cosy atmosphere, the food and the memories ❤️
Recently visited this coffee spot in Sylvia park and the coffee and food made our day.
The staff and service both were very good 👍
Great place for a coffee and for a small bite. It is usually busy during afternoon as lot of people do visit the place from nearby offices. Suitable for small groups or family. Not very friendly to work on laptops though. Plenty of place to seat and outdoor seating is available too. Plenty of options for tea, coffee and small plates for breakfast and lunch.

We chose this location again for its central location. On this occasion we may have pushed the limits on our expectations as all 28 people in our group gathered between 10.30am and midday. Overall the place was clean an tidy and the staff were pleasant. Will continue to return in smaller groups.

Have been visiting this particular Columbus Coffee cafe for several years. The reason being it can accommodate groups of friends (14 to 16 people) without any prior warning. The food and facilities have always been excellent and over time there is evidence of continual improvements to raise the customer satisfaction. This cafe has excellent outdoor facilties to relax and enjoy your coffee.
