Went here today as a family. Very disappointing. Had eggs beni, one with bacon and one with salmon. The Hollandaise sauce was not nice as all, took the rest of the meal down. The salmon was salty so was also a disappointment. Came with hash browns instead of potato rossi. But the coffee was nice and our son liked his kids meal.
What a great experience at Columbus Cafe Greymouth. After 4 hrs driving and already being rudely turned away by a cafe who'd run out of food. Columbus also affected by the busy holiday time and the NZ shortage of ingredients e.g. eggs (so had limited menu items). What a different positive 'can do' attitude - staff were so creative offering other food alternatives. Even creating a new menu item Caesar Brioche chicken Burger ???? with polenta fries. Wow thanks team for going above and beyond for some hungry 'out of town' NZ tourists!! ???? Great coffee & drinks too! ☕
It's quite odd that such a lovely cafe, with a nice environment, great food, friendly staff can be found in a small west coast town, tucked away in a Mitre 10 Mega department store. My partner and I got Eggs Benedict, Belgian Waffles and two frappes, and it's easy to say we were in love (with the food). Some of the best hollandaise I've had, and just look at that presentation. My only disappointment was that my yolks weren't runny, but that's a personal preference. Though we were intrigued by the coffee, the fruit (Mango, and Apple & Feijoa) left us feeling fresh and ready for our long day of walking and travel. We did find some dead flies on our table near the window, but hard to knock them for that as it was a clean space, they were a harmless brush away, and that's just life.
We got the eggs Benedict and were rather disappointed. Bacon was hard and burnt. Poached eggs were over cooked. Went here couple of years ago and food was great this time was not the greatest unfortunately probably won't go back.
We went there for breakfast and had an omelette with mushrooms, feta, spinach & caramelised onion ($15) + a latte and a flat white with both almond milk. The omelette was extremly fatty and without any taste. We did not even like the coffees. Cannot recommend this place :/ PS: We could not find any good food place in Greymouth...
