Description
Founded by four of New Zealand's top coffee aficianados over 20 years ago, we've gone on to become the country's premium cafe franchise group with over 70 cafes in communities throughout the North & South Islands.
We aspire to be a world-leading, premium franchised café experience that people will want to be a part of, whether as a customer or a franchise business owner. Through every element of the Columbus Coffee experience we want our customers to discover the pleasures of our own fresh specialty coffee, our freshly prepared delicious food, our welcoming café environments and the convenient locations and local owners that make up the Columbus Coffee café network.
Now a trusted brand and household name, the last decade has been focused on managing rapid growth and refining our business model for which we’ve been twice awarded Supreme Franchise System of the year, the industry’s top award. We’ve also recently completed an end to end review of our brand to make sure we’re moving with changing consumer and franchisee needs and retain our position as the country’s premium café franchise.
As a founder of New Zealand’s coffee scene, we continue to lead the way with the quality and consistency of our café experiences.
