You can find us at 19 Marriner Street, just across the road from the Hollywood picture theatre, the only suburban cinema still standing in Christchurch.

We invite you to come in and see us for a coffee, something to eat or a beverage and enjoy the sun on either of our out outdoor dining areas.

We are open from 7am – 5pm Sunday to Thursday and until late on Fridays and Saturdays. We look forward to your company soon….

Many years on, and our staff will be found most mornings sharing their opinion on everything from rugby to women’s fashion with a crew of regulars who pick up their takeaway coffee on their way into Christchurch. And the sun still streams in the windows to warm up the coldest of winter days.

The Hollywood Movie Theatre next door still continues to show great movies and we’re open late to give you somewhere to dissect and discuss movies in detail before you head home. SOme of you will be experiencing some deja vu when you visit Sumner.

Glenn Rewi has joined forces with long time listener (and latte drinker), first time owner Craig Kiesanowski and taken over ownership of the store. Glenn’s been with us since the very early days and it’s great to have him back on the tools (including the old roaster!)

There’s range of delicious desserts and snacks to complement our full range of hot and cold drinks with some old favourites still around since day dot.

The crew would love to meet you so next time you need a coffee buzz or a few moments to yourself, take a drive out to the funky seaside village of Sumner and experience the delights of the original Coffee Culture.

Until then we had been a nation of devout tea drinkers. The conversion had begun and has continued without letting up to the present day.

You can buy espresso coffee in virtually every town, no matter how small, across the country. Today Columbus Coffee has locations across the country – with more to come. We have enjoyed sharing our enjoyment and knowledge of great coffee to an ever growing number of people.

Our goal today is the same as it was on that first day in ’95:

To bring you the best and freshest coffee available anywhere in the world and to make it as easy as possible for you to buy.

Coffee must be fresh – freshly roasted, freshly ground and freshly brewed.

At Columbus, we ensure our coffees are always at the peak of freshness and served by experienced, friendlly and knowledgable staff who enjoy sharing the enjoyment of great coffee in a relaxing environment.
