“I love the coffee of red rabbit! Awesome service and the best coffee ever!”

“Excellent hospitality and food were amazing. Loved their fried bread soft and tenderly. Owner uncle was a really lovely person.”

“Nice breakie and coffee, friendly staff! Would recommend!”

“OMG! Best DIRTY-CHAI ever!!! Excellent service and friendly people!!! Thank you BEE!”

“We had the TCC Big Breakfast. The food was deliciously. Eggs were a little over done but the chutney was exceptional. Not sure about onion rings on a breakfast though. Coffees arrived as we finished which was different to AU but makes more sense to not have finished your drink before your meal arrives. The coffees were perfect. Thanks”

“Columbus Coffee Petone was our sneaky Sunday Brunch Date location this weekend. As always, the service and meals were impeccable. The smiles & banter of the staff are so welcoming, and we really enjoy the atmosphere and delicious food. Today we sampled the eggs benny with mushrooms and the big breakfast. The eggs were cooked to perfection (soft n runny for him, and a bit firmer for myself). The #pinkyslice is sooo moreish, it hit the sweet spot too. Thanks team for being such awesome people and providing wonderful meal options.”

“I mean, warm, tasty empanadas, sweet, endulging homemade alfajores, classic kiwi chippies, beach side, in wellington on a nice sunny day... What more could you ask for. Need to stop here and get yourself a sweet (or two!) And a savoury if you're passing by. Highly recommend. She was lovely too.”

“Love the sister cafe in Petone and this is no different. Service with a smile, great coffee, loads of keto and veg options available and most of all, brilliant indoor and outdoor seating available. There is also a couple of 15min parks right in front for a quick turnaround. Lots of free street parking available too if you plan to eat in.”

“Great selection of GF and V food along with regular food. The sausage roll removed pastry so I could savor it! Have visited a few times in the last month. They change up the food offerings and always delights. Coffee is fabulous as expected.”

“Espresso Rescue not only make the most delicious coffees, but they have a brilliant selection of teas too. There's even Trade Aid GF hot chocolates on offer. The coffee's even organic and fair trade! There's a selection of flavours shots too. If you've not been before you must!!! The team are delightfully friendly and they remember your coffee!”

“Hands down the best coffee I’ve had!”

“A superb park, well laid out with great planning. The planting attracts birds of all types including the rowdy Tui. Great water features. Plenty of spacious parking and electric car charging posts. Toilets suffer from vandals but usable”

“This is such a charming little café. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. We went to try their WOAP burger which was by far the best we had during the event. We'll definitely be going back.”

“Just stopped in to try coffee and check out food - so good! Great service and quick wait. Coffee amazing! Good selection of food and prices. Love the seating and old school stools.”

“My parents are moving to the area soon (from out of town). They've been to this cafe a couple of times while finding a house, doing inspections, etc. The staff remembered their faces and to my Mum in particular that meant the world. Thank-you!!”

“It’s hard to find good coffee without the acidic aftertaste, but they get it just right here. The barista is excellent, and the coffee quality is top-notch. We’ll definitely be back!”

“I commented here a couple of weeks back about my first experience being disappointing and my oat flat white was like a filter coffee. I was given the chance to try again and must say, the coffee this morning was perfect! Maybe I had a trainee at the time who knows but thanks for putting it right, nice that you genuinely care for your customers.”

“Every each times I visited here, I feel comfortable more than any other cafes around Queensgate. It’s because Livi, the brilliant staff who is working there welcoming us all the time:) Once you visited, you’ll surely have the hospitality and good conversation with her, that everyone wanted in cafe time. Comfy lovely fancy. That’s what I can say about this cafe. Try extra large size with multiple shots coffee, you’ll never regret it. Chur!!”

“Lovely team, fantastic service. Work nearby so basically visit them every week. Nice coffee as always’”

“Very handy for a morning coffee. Love their oat milk flat white. Best in the Hutt!”
