Welcome to Columbus Coffee at Mitre 10 MEGA Botany, a hidden gem nestled within the vibrant garden center at 9 Bishop Dunn Place, Flat Bush, Auckland. This charming café is not just a stop for coffee enthusiasts; it’s an experience that delights the senses and warms the soul. Whether you’re grabbing a quick cup or indulging in a leisurely breakfast, every visit promises to be memorable.

The cuisine at Columbus Coffee is an enticing blend of comforting café fare with a local twist. One standout dish is the Eggs Benedict, lauded by patrons for its perfectly cooked poached eggs, which crown fluffy ciabatta instead of the typical rock-hard sourdough many inner-city spots serve. Customers have raved about the generous portion of bacon, adding a savory crunch that complements the runny yolk—an absolute breakfast dream! If you prefer something heartier, the all-day big breakfast, with its abundant scrambled eggs and sautéed mushrooms in creamy goodness, is sure to please.

The café flows seamlessly into the lush garden area, providing an oasis of calm where you can sip your drink nestled among the greenery and the gentle sound of birdsong.

Many patrons have noted the friendly service that makes Columbus Coffee feel like a home away from home. Whether you’re there for a casual morning tea with friends, a family outing, or a work catch-up, the attentive staff ensure your experience is both enjoyable and memorable. Suzanne Beattie shared her delight at how the café is perfect for larger groups, making it an ideal spot for gatherings or celebrations.

With its fantastic location within the Mitre 10 MEGA complex, Columbus Coffee is also a practical choice.

I wish all egg bene breakfasts were like this one. Eggs perfectly cooked, no gooey white, still runny yolk. Almost too much bacon, and ciabatta.. not the rock hard holey sour dough of the inner city. Coffee was good. Its set inside the garden centre part of mitre 10 so nice view too. Thanks :)

Having brekky at Mitre 10 is as normal as looking for a new power saw. A pleasingly aesthetic Eatery with a delicious menu with seating also in the garden area. They also have a play area with seating. Mushrooms sautéed or in cream especially delicious. Omelet, big brekky was delicious and a lot of scrambled eggs with bacon in one dish. We had a very pleasing breakfast to put us in a good mood to shop for shelving and storage bins. Water dispenser has both still and sparkling water ice cold too. Good way to start a working morning. Opens at 8am.

I recently visited Columbus Coffee at Mitre 10 Botany, and it was an absolute delight. The coffee was hands down the best I’ve had in months—rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed. The service was incredibly warm and friendly, making me feel right at home. The location itself is just beautiful, with views into the garden center and plenty of natural sunlight pouring in. Sitting there with the birds chirping in the background added to the peaceful atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a top-notch coffee. Highly recommend!

Great cafe just to the side of Mitre 10. The coffee and food were solid and they have a cool outdoor area which flows into the gardening/planting part of Mitre 10. Hamish Dorrington Kakapo Business Sales
