Columbus Coffee at Mitre 10 MEGA Takanini is a public cafe inside the home improvement store at Southgate Shopping Centre. It opens early and trades every day into the afternoon, giving shoppers and local diners a place for breakfast, lunch or a coffee break without leaving the complex. Fresh kitchen food and a daily cabinet give the branch the substance of a full cafe rather than simply a drinks counter.
Breakfast and brunch cover both lighter starts and generous cooked plates. Diners can choose free-range eggs on toast, creamy mushrooms, eggs Benedict or a supreme omelette, while the Columbus Breakfast gathers several morning favourites on one plate. Brioche French toast provides the sweeter route, and the food is prepared fresh in store rather than arriving as a purely packaged selection.
The current Takanini menu develops that range with seasonal chorizo hash and pumpkin and halloumi bruschetta. Local favourites include battered snapper with chips, pork belly tacos, mince on toast, an Angus beef burger and sweetcorn fritters, moving the cafe comfortably from breakfast into lunch. These dishes give regulars useful variety while keeping enough familiar options for a quick meal during a shopping trip.
Columbus coffee, roasted in small batches, anchors the drinks list, joined by chai, matcha, hot chocolate, smoothies and cold drinks. The cabinet adds sweets, savouries and convenient lunch choices, while a children's menu supports family visits. A quick morning coffee, a cabinet snack and a relaxed meal with children can all fit comfortably within the same branch.
