You would think that one Columbus is the same as another but there are good & bad depending on who runs them. This is a good one.
Located near Mitre 10 Mega, there is a large amount of seating so it's good for big groups too.
Service was okay- polite & efficient but missing that friendly banter you look for in a local.
I tried the Paleo breakfast swapping the salmon for bacon & a latte. The coffee was good. Breakfast was nice - all elements were good. Only missing the cress which would have really brought the dish alive.
Really love the coffee there. Each time we go there we have to order flat white and mocha frappe ! Kids friendly environment. The owner and the staffs are all very nice. Got special dish like Asian fried noodles. Dal tastes very yummy too!
I've come here a lot over the years and have always enjoyed the coffee, today's latte was no exception. My daughter declared that the chocolate brownie was the best and most fudgy brownie she's had in a long while. She was offered the choice of whipped cream or yoghurt and took the cream. One moment there was a plate full of brownie and cream, the next moment an empty plate.
I took the spinach and cream cheese muffin and liked that it was heated through just enough without any spoiling of the texture as can happen elsewhere.
The cafe is spacious, clean and the decor welcoming. The staff were clearing the tables quickly. The free wifi is through Zenbu which requires a login. Cafe has instrumental music playing in background.
For the younger set there are two wooden highchairs and a basket of soft toys which looked freshly laundered.
Come here for work and it's just your standard coffee is allgood does the job. An yet to try the food. Maybe teach the staff some manors and now to swear out loud so dinners can hear. Was in a work meeting and heard "FFF that" from out the back will continue to be back as its a good meeting spot but yeh maybe have a word to staff re: work etiquette
I actually really loved the bagel with salmon and cream cheese along with the avocado on the side. It was also not too expensive so I would highly recommend it and I would gladly come back for more!
Great food and atmosphere. The manager is so friendly. Lots of space for prams. We've been here a couple of times with the whole family for lunch. Second time we were so impressed with food. It's improved markedly and the menu is fresh. We'll be regulars :)
i think valentines is the best buffet ever and i love it there. it could be dumb and all but its good food and tidy manukau is a great valentines to go to. take your family there its cool. the floor clean, it ha sent changed much but i still like it and there are great people there that serve you.
I just happened to see this place as I was leaving Mitre 10. What a nice little spot. I only planned to order a coffee but saw they have chowder on the menu, so I gave it a try. It was delicious as well as the coffee.
I'll be back to give the other food a try. The cabinet food looked delicious too.
The food is so good! And the ambiance as well. Very clean and fresh 🤍🤍🤍 I enjoyed everything so much! Will comeback again! 🤍🤍

My friends and I had a great time with this cafe, the vibe was great with lots of light too! Food was well portioned, price is reasonable too. Ordered eggs bene and mochaccino, it was perfect as! it was one of the best place to go here in Botany. Had a chance to meet michel, their barista, and a female staff who were both friendly and accommodating! Waiting time is not too bad, freshly made meals and for sure you'll be satisfied with their dishes. Lots to choose from menu, love it!
PS: you order on their counter so don't expect someone to take your orders, it's pay as you order cafe. 😊
To the owners: maybe add some indoor plants to make it more cozy! Your spot is sooo perfect for it! 🌿
Have always enjoyed my meals here since it was Columbus Coffee and now Sequel. Great menu options and also a well-stocked cabinet if you didn't want to order from the menu. Tea came in small cast iron teapots and could've done with an extra half spoon of loose tea leaves for a good brew. Food was tasty and service was fast & friendly. Clean, tidy & spacious cafe.
Led by the owner, John, this place has a friendly and efficient staff. The food is quite good but I must give special mention to the savory muffin.👍👌 I also noticed that some of their condiments bear the brand Trader Joe's, which is a specialty grocery based out of the L. A. area. Surprising but a big plus for me.
It can get crowded especially during Sunday lunchtime. Personally I prefer visiting Saturday morning to enjoy their coffee and food. Free wi-fi is available.
Clean, bright and spacious, great place for a meeting as not too noisy. Their blueberry and cream cheese muffin is really yum!
We love the Sequel cafe, have been coming for years and they always give good service and good food! Highly recommend
