Columbus Coffee Riccarton

Quality of Foods and Drinks are acceptable , Many foods and bakes available . Counter service is acceptable at non peak hours , large and sufficient car park , Very busy and crowdeded in this cafe shop and open up to 21:00pm (09:00pm) per week . Sufficient manpower around this shop but no body clean the table . I often visit this cafe shop .

Coffee was good but unfortunately there was lipstick on the cup still. Food was okay but came without some of the toppings it was supposed to have. Not terrible, but there's better places to go so I'd recommend giving this place a miss.

Appalling!! Customer service below average. Food overpriced Appalling quality. After watching young guy running his hands through his hair before delivering our coffee, I suggested to him that this wasn't a good look! He started with a barage of excuses for doing so. 1st unfortunately sometimes I have to do this as my hair goes in my eyes (it was boof, but not in his eyes) 2nd I suggested because he's in hospitality, go get a haircut. 3rd he said he couldn't afford a haircut. Another person in my group suggested a hair net. 4th well I can't because we don't sell hair net's. He then walked away! I am pleased although he couldn't afford a hair net, that he could afford the Mother energy drink. Is this a case of if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys?! Sad thing is the Owner of this franchise obviously couldn't care less of standards nor the reputation of COLUMBUS COFFEE. Thank you CATE HER TEAM IN TIMARU FOR UPHOLDING THE STANDARDS OF COLUMBUS COFFEE we will continue to return

Coffee good, food good. Pleasant staff. Bit slow, but that was advised on ordering, so no complaints. Decor tired, I feel needs a good clean, and/or spruce up.

Sadly yet another business that thinks customer service is optional, and prioritises themselves over providing a good customer experience. Arrived at the Riccarton Mall branch at 4.59pm today when the mall closes at 6pm. Was told that it was takeaway only after 5pm and I couldn't sit down to relax with a coffee. This is complete laziness. There is no excuse for not serving sit down drinks with an hour left before closing. As with similar businesses, they have now permanently lost my custom, which is a shame because prior to this I've had a drink there at least once a week. When will NZ businesses learn that it is customers that keep them alive?
