Coffees horrible and overcharging for milk alternatives. $36 for a coffee, 4 rolls and a bacon egg roll. $15 for the bacon egg roll alone. Complete rip-off and I had no choice in the matter. I seen 4-5 staff there, do you really need that many staff. Fire some of the staff and lower your prices.

The Coffee Bomb offers exemplary service characterized by its warmth and attentiveness. Their coffee is of exceptional quality, complemented by a moist and densely textured carrot cake that was truly sensational. Contrary to a previous reviewer's assessment, our experience was thoroughly delightful, indicating a stark contrast in opinion. Without hesitation, I highly recommend visiting The Coffee Bomb for a remarkable culinary experience.
A stunning redemption for New Zealand!

Most excellent service with a smile and outstandingly good Raspberry chocolate muffins! Worth a stop for the muffins alone

Garston is a good place to stop for a break, but the Coffee Bomb needs to lift its game. To be fair they were very busy, but businesses we’re giving our money to need to be able to cope under pressure. It took a long time for my simple order to be ready. The carrot cake was hard and dry, nasty. I ordered a medium-size tea, but was given a small. I had ordered Earl Grey, but was given some fruity tea I didn’t like. The pressure showed in the stressed-behaving staff. I didn’t ask for my order to be replaced because it would have taken too long, and I was a bit scared. The only consolation for the owner is that on the way home three days later I stopped for carrot cake in Lumsden and it was worse. See my review about that. Otago / Southland needs to sort out its carrot cakes - should be moist. A matter of National concern.

Stopped for a coffee - the cappuccino was great, and burgers looked awesome as well! Nice atmosphere. Definitely worth a stop!
