Every year, I return to this cafe for breakfast during my visit to this small city Hamilton in NZ. Lovely and quiet morning atmosphere here. Coffee was good, breakfast was delicious, and service was fast and friendly.

Really lovely location with options for indoor and outdoor seating. The food was delicious. They didn’t have avocados for the dish I wanted the day we went, but I really enjoyed my meal. My husband had previously tried the Umami Scram and liked it so much he got it again. The drinks were delicious. They usually have Alpro Coconut Milk but was out of stock. Highly recommend.

Discovered this place via a friend and we often go here for lunch. It’s a nice walk from the office. They have decent coffee, the tea is good too. They have excellent cabinet food, including raw slices. And their menu is delicious too.

Lovely selection of salads and other treats. Great coffee too. This is a must if you need a break from the bustle of the city, while being in the city. Located opposite the old Founders Theatre. It is an easy walk and has plenty of street parking too.
