“My partner and I really enjoyed the bubble tea here. The three guys milk tea had a delicious tea flavour and the toppings were really nice and worked well with the tea. The brown sugar milk tea is also very good and the pearls are perfectly cooked and has a nice chew to them. I would recommend both of the teas. Would definitely be back!”

“Probably one of the best stripclubs in Aotearoa! Love dancing here!”

“An amazing place with a very vibrant atmosphere. The food and coffee are amazing. We specially go in just for the cheese scones. These are such amazingly scrumptious scones nowhere to be bought in Hamilton. The staff are wonderful and always interact well. Juna and Jody are marvelous. They always greet us with a very warm welcome. This is our weekly weekend go to place.”

“Jamaica Blue, Centreplace, Hamilton, has upped its game, since new owners have taken over! My simple order of food (a spinach & feta sausage roll) arrived quickly, hot, & beautifully presented, & with a small salad! Different menu cards, with pictures, lay on the table. Certainly a good experience!”

“Haven’t been here for ages as previous times it was awful. This time the food was fantastic, coffee great and staff friendly so can recommend them highly. We had eggs Benedict and an omelette”

“I've been coming here for years and their friendliness and quality have never wavered. It's a happy, cheerful little cafe with spectacular coffee. There are allergy friendly options and they are always happy to make changes to a meal so that my family and I can eat despite our food sensitivities.”

“You must try the Ruakura Mitre 10 branch of Columbus Coffee. They do a great breakfast and coffee and the cabinet selection is wonderful. I also liked the more relaxed pace of this smaller Mitre 10 store. Treat yourself.”

“We go to this cafe regularly and love the food. The staff are great and it's always busy. Fabulous atmosphere, the menu has something for everyone. Tasty and delicious! We'll be back. New menu is outstanding!! ❤️”

“They make the most beautiful (single shot) latte (& soy latte), foods are awesome as well. Friendly staff”

“I’ve accomplished something monumental by finishing my first Grande Green Tea Latte. I had to work through slurps and sips and scoops of cream. I pushed as the sugar smashed against my brain. I squashed the internal rebellion of doubt that arose from my teenage anti-consumerist politics. I’m in my 30’s now and it’s a revelation to find joy in something that once made my stomach twist. I’ve come to realize that Starbucks is the cosmic center of a city. It’s the one constant force in a chaotic world. Honestly, learning to love Starbucks is like falling in love with life. There are so many possibilities ahead of me: Caramel Frappuccinos, Peppermint Mochas. The coffee nerd of my early twenties is dead and I’m being reborn as a new man. I want to make new decisions that allow me to experience pure pleasure, again and again and again. The future has never felt this bright.”

“Yummy food. New menu. Staff were great, food was excellent and good coffee too. We stop here quite regularly as the kids love their Whittaker’s hot chocolates. They change up their menu seasonally which means it’s easy to find something new and exciting. The cabinet is always stocked with delicious cakes, slices and cookies too.”

“My 5 star rating is solely due to Clayton. Clayton’s attention to us when we dropped in for lunch was second to none. He is AMAZING at his job! The food is great too!!! And because of his care and attention we will definitely be back!!!”

“The perfect place between Auckland and Hamilton to stretch the legs and enjoy some fantastic coffee and food options. I always have been and always will be a fan of their world famous chicken and bacon club sandwich, the popcorn shrimp tacos are also a big favorite of ours too. Highly recommend to all.

“Went in for dinner last night with a big group of 30+ people. Coming from a hospitality background myself, I knew it would be a challenge for the staff, but they handled it really well. The fire alarm went off twice during our visit, so we had to evacuate each time — obviously annoying for everyone, but totally out of the staff’s control. They followed protocol and managed the situation calmly and professionally, especially considering many of the team looked quite young. Big credit to them. Surprisingly, they even gave us a 10% discount, which they didn’t have to do since the issue wasn’t their fault. It was a nice gesture and appreciated by the whole group. The food has definitely improved since I was last here a couple of years ago, which was great to see. Service was spot on too — friendly, attentive, and efficient. All in all, a good experience given the circumstances. I don’t normally leave reviews, but this one was well deserved. Will definitely be back.”

The Wharf Kitchen and Bar delivers a classic fish‑and‑chips line‑up that’s straight to the point. Outdoors works when the weather plays along. Pricing lines up with the offer. Portions suit sharing without tipping heavy.

“I really liked Shailin's attention, she was very kind and helped me a lot. The best!”

“The best service from this store. So incredibly thankful. Our package from online briscoes got damaged and have been passed back and forwards from aramex and nz post. Briscoes is sorting for us and gave us a replacement. Thank you so so much”

“Great pharmacy, always willing to help & always available for expert advice, especially Alfred who is an asset to this pharmacy. I'm extremely grateful for the individual care that Alfred and Robit give. Many thanks ✅.”

“I stayed at the hotel many times. Only really have breakfasts but this weekend I tried their dinner buffets (Fri & Sat only). It was fabulous nice food selection and of great quality. Hopefully this buffet will continue and I will most certainly return.”

“Free Function Room Hire. Was there for.21st birthday. Had a great set up and easy access to and from Kitchen. The old features to the place added character and great atmosphere. The bar tab procedure worked well.”

“Been there two times recently and found the food very nice and good size containers filled to the brim, very good value for money, had chicken and vege chop Suey with cashew nuts and sweet&sour pork.”
