Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Hamilton

“Amazing Service and selection for food and drinks. Have been a customer since before Covid and has become my favorite place to shop.”

“I have been coming here for so many years I can’t count. Their coffee which is their own brand is nice and strong and consistently well made. Their decaf is to die for when you can’t cope with caffeine because you have had too much.”

“Only just discovered this wonderful spot! Awesome coffee, smoothies, and food. I would highly recommend it to anyone passing by Frankton. Will be back!”

“The best coffee in Raglan. It's in narrow alley way. Open until 5 PM everyday. Do not pass this when you are in Raglan. No sit in, takeaway only. Highly recommended, love it”

“The place is worth a try. The atmosphere is wonderful and makes you feel warm in this cold winter. It was a wonderful experience for me this morning and the girl who was at the reception was very wonderful. The service is excellent. Do not miss the opportunity to try the Swiss Roll Cake. It is one of the best cakes I have tried in my life. It is light and fluffy and the piece is an excellent size.”

“Highly recommend!!! Amazing coffee and food. The service is fantastic, friendly and always with a smile. Stop in and support them!!”

“Ataahua, What a vibrant cafe, Beautiful kai, best eggs bene with smoked salmon I've eaten, yummy smoothie. Good prices for the portion, Great service.”

“Tieke exceeded all expectations, awesome course layout / design, the back nine is not long, but gives you a lot to think about. Loads of funky greens and areas to chip from, looking forward to playing again soon! James Ashwin”

“Dined with friends at the Matt Connell Wines Degustation dinner last night at Palate. Perfectly paired wines with the best tasting and perfectly presented food ever. Great friendly service by our waitresses and chef Matt himself. Get along people and support one of the best restaurants in Hamilton city.”

“I have been wanting to try this place for some time now on my work visits down from Auckland. Glad I finally did, new fav Hamilton restaurant! Service was outstanding, food was absolutely delicious. I had the Turkish meatballs as per wait staff recommendation (I would not normally order this dish first up) and I did not regret it. Portion size was not huge (which I prefer) so room for desert and the baklava and tahini ice cream did not disappoint. You can tell there are some generational recipes being passed down here. Yum!”

“The bar tenders are so creative and really know their stuff! I'm a huge fan of their drink option "the golden ratio" I get it every single time and it's always so good. Love watching them make the drinks too, some wicked skills. Definitely a must stop for anyone in Hamilton for the night”

“As a first-time visitor to Cambridge, I stumbled upon the Tree House Cafe when I was hungry and unsure where to have lunch. The unique and inviting interior, along with their delicious homemade dishes, such as pies, snacks, cakes, and burgers, exceeded my expectations. The cafe's central location made it convenient for me to explore the city, and the friendly staff provided excellent service. It turned a confusing moment into a delightful experience, and I'm eager to return during my stay in Cambridge.”

“What a pleasant surprise on a road trip home! Delicious coffee, super friendly staff, and the kids’ fluffies were a huge win the whipped cream and sprinkles! Lovely community vibes.”

“I took a group of 8 ladies to Alpino on Saturday for a Luxe Day Out for my business Her Luxe Travel and we had a phenomenal time. Not only were Alpino great to work with to set up how I wanted the experience, on the day they delivered 110%. The food was to die for, service was friendly and efficient. We were sat in the area at the front that is somewhat closed off from the rest of the restaurant and it couldn't have been more perfect. Definitely glad I've chosen Alpino for my Retreat welcome lunches ☺️”

“This is my regular. The best cafe in town. Food is so flavourful, coffee is divine, yarns with the staff are a highlight.”

“Amazing service and quality always get a really good service I visit this place all the time 10 out of 10”

“Great cozy & secluded venue. Regular live music. Quality. Great service. Very welcoming.”

“Such warm services! Coffee is best I've had in hamilton hands down. Great beans, they froth the milk perfectly and we'll priced! 10/ 10 recommend to try”

“Great selection of craft beer! A sunny spot to people watch and enjoy a wide range of beers. The bartender knew a lot about each of them and was happy to help us taste and make decisions. Good spot for a late afternoon beverage.”

“We adore this place - they serve incredibly fresh fish (their nigiri platter is delicious!), freshest fish in Hamilton. Their food is always perfectly cooked and beautifully prepared. Beer is ice cold, sake is delicious and hot (if you like it that way) and their service is warm and personable. We can’t say enough about this place and the rad people that run it ❤️”

“Went to dine in last April 9th. The food at chim thai is exceptional! Very tasty and well prepared and you can chose among many menu options. I love the service at the place and manager Jess is so friendly, accomodating with the guests and always takes care to offer the best quality! I highly recommend this place. Always a great spot to get great food, amaaAzing food.”

“Could not fault the waitstaff or food. The team were knowledgeable and talented in their execution of service. Plates were flavorful, spicy dishes were not overly hot, portions were suitable for sharing, and standard serves of 3 pieces could be made 4 to match our table number. A standout was the cocktail menu, with combinations I’ve not seen before leaving me wondering how to choose 2 when I really wanted to try 4. The space is flexible with indoor, outdoor and standing areas, but book outdoors if the weather is good and the temperature is warm. Would recommend and would dine there again. Thanks for having us.”

“I was here last night, with a few friends to see Greg Johnson's Vine Street Tour (24.04.2025). What a great venue, nice staff too. Didn't eat there but food looked deelish., so could be a return trip to sample in the not to distant future.”

“The staff and food were amazing, with a beautiful garden setting. They accommodated 24 of us at short notice and nothing was a problem. I would highly recommend for breakfast or lunch.”

“Great little place, very friendly staff and the the food was phenomenal. I ordered the chicken tacos, Hubby wanted the Hawaiian burger but they were out of pineapple. The server recommended their top two sellers and he went with the Korean Chicken burger and it was fantastic. It was like a buffalo chicken without the heat. Portions were very large too. We were surprised with the complex yet light flavors and hinestly did not expect that from this quaint looking little place. The atmosphere could use a little more sprucing to reflect the great quality of the food but other than that, no complaints!”

“Fastlane is such a perfect gym for people of all levels and abilities! There is such a wide range of people in the community but no matter where you are at everyone is so welcoming and kind! The class selection, cafe food/drinks, heated pool and friendly staff definitely make the experience so amazing!”

“My partner and I came here twice for brunch, the first time we both had granola, fruit, and yoghurt (pictured) and it was really good. The second time we had the zucchini fritters (also pictured) which was amazing and tasty. We also ordered lattes which was a nice, strong hug. The service was also great, the cafe is the busiest place in town but there's no shortage of very friendly staff.”
