Columbus Coffe

From the outside this new addition to the area looks like a small little takeaway store, but like the tardis … it appears to be bigger on the inside. I am kind of amazed that yet another café would open up in this area given the existing mass of options already available but perhaps they have their own niche. Where the other cafes are quite large and serve a wider range of food options, this somewhat smaller café can focus more of the coffee.
Given that this is their focus, it is great to find that they indeed make a great cup. Finally receiving a mac not overwhelmed with milk makes Fridley a happy camper. :-)

Meet the new kid on the block.
Columbus Coffee hails from New Zealand, a pretty far cry from the leafy surrounds of Wahroonga. But this Kiwi had better be ready for a dance off, for the village already boasts beans from Campos, Danes and Toby’s Estate.
They’ve started out well. The staff are relaxed, friendly and obviously proud of their product. They’ve also matched the (annoyingly) inflated Wahroonga prices. $ 4 for a large skim cap — would you ever pay that in the CBD?
But Columbus also comes with some serious game. The coffee is silky smooth, with hints of caramel and its served at the perfect temperature. And while setting up next door to Pastadelli is a clear shot across the bow, I think Columbus might just have what it takes to conquer Wahroonga.
