Cafe in Hamilton

“This place is hands-down the best coffee spot in Hamilton CBD. The coffee is consistently full of flavour, exactly what you need to kickstart your day. But what truly sets it apart is the service: always warm, welcoming, and served with a stunning smile that brightens your morning. Whether you're a regular or just passing through, you'll leave with a great cup and an even better mood. Highly recommend!”

“This was by far one of the BEST BURGERS I've had in years. Just the most juicy, delicious & tasty burger and for about the same price price as a normal crappy burger from a burger chain. Do yourself and your tastebuds a massive favour and make a stop at Phat Burger! Excellent value!”

“Fantastic local brewery with awesome beer, staff and atmosphere. Best of all they are dog welcoming. Treats and all. In dog we trust.”

“Great little posse with great coffee and wicked food. Passing thru? or local to the area deffs stop by to check it out ☺️”

“We thought the coffee was great. So was the service. The owners were friendly, efficient and pleasant. And pet friendly! They had a well behaved, small dog and a charming cat keeping them company. Learning nearby. We will choose this cafe again as our Whatawhata stopping place on a drive from Auckland to home.”

“We really enjoy this coffee. Our favourite is the Columbia single origin. We have a recurring subscription order which works really well. Great prompt service from Phoebe Rose.”

“Me and my girlfriend went to this place and did the bloodstone keep and it was personally the most high quality escape room I have ever been too. We felt very integrated into the story, the puzzle were meaning full and very interactive. The props were amazing. Hints were good and the staff was truly amazing (there was even a puppy while we were waiting which was so cool!!) The staff really added to the story of the rooms (getting into character which I found really cool and funny from sitting at a table nearby.) By far one of my top experiences with reasonable difficulty to do with people. Would recommend highly and 100% worth the price. We only planned to go once on our 2 week trip but with our experience today we will be making a second trip”

“We were treated to a beautiful authentic French four course dinner last week and it was simply superb! We often visit for lunch, and every time we are greeted with wonderful service and even better food - this dinner was something extra special though! Merry Christmas and we'll see you again soon!”

“Kim is a STAR! My company has been setting up a house for our workers and we decided to purchase bunk beds and mattresses from The Bunk House and, let me tell you, we had such a great service! Advices, deliveries, prices, responsiveness, everything was absolutely perfect. I would recommend 100% !!!”

“What a hidden gem in a lovely lane! Loving the taste, 1/3 of sugar is sweet enough and the milk is actually rich enough in the milk tea in comparison to other shops, music is great too! The traditional milk tea (from Taiwan) is like the one I had in Taiwan! The owner is an awesome person and the pearls (tapioca pearls) are freshly made too, which is rare!!!”

“Always awesome. As a couple we would visit Bootleg at least monthly and each visit is just a great experience. The venue is comfy, rustic, an excellent example of giving life into an old building. The staff go out of their way to welcome us and free tastings are part of the experience. I am not an avid craft beer drinker, but there are so many other options, cider/sours/ lagers...the rhubarb cider when on tap is amazing. Thanks Bootleg team”

“Lovely atmosphere. Didn’t feel like we were shouting over the noise that other restaurants have, it was good noise wise as I had a raging sore throat so was great that I don’t lose my voice. Me and dad had the beef Wellington and it was cooked to perfection we didn’t need to use steak knives as the normal knives cut like butter. The desserts my sister, dad and I had was very good. The bread was very fresh and hot. Love it so much would definitely recommend to everyone.”

“Absolutely the best coffee made perfectly and delivered with a smile. The staff are always super friendly. The coffee is delicious and made exactly how I like it. Just the best!!!”

“Raglan Roast is by far the best coffee I tried in Hamilton. It’s high quality for an affordable price. The cafe is a very cool environment and has plenty of comfortable seating. As a lover of Melbourne coffee standards, this rates very well.”

“#coffee factory# Much more choices of the coffee beans. Filter，black，or white are all great. Flat white is rich and creamy.”

“Such a gorgeous shop with gorgeous products. The perfect place to find speciality cheeses, preserves, chocolate... and of course, the biggest strawberries you've ever seen. Great for frozen, gourmet restaurant quality meals too”

“Great hot chocolate. Appreciated the option of cinnamon or chocolate on the cappuccino. Bonus goats next door. Lovely stop on the way to Hobbitton. Feels like a quaint shire stop.”

AMOR favours a coffee‑and‑cabinet mix with clear flavours. Provision for coeliac diners is noted. Value feels fair for the quality. Packaging keeps things in good shape to go. There’s room for an easy...

“Got Carly‘s to cater to my father‘s funeral reception and family gathering. This food was fabulous. The service was great. Requested a number of gluten-free options. All of them were delicious. The delivery was on time. The food was nicely presented and Carly and her husband provided a wonderful service.”

Habitual Fix keeps things simple, bistro‑style and focused on flavour. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. Wait times are contained even when busy. Value feels fair for the quality. Portion...

“Great Store. My purchases arrived quickly, and were well packed. Very pleased with items. Would not hesitate to shop online in the future.”

“Amazing experience!! I went there with my family and we all felt we stepped into another world! The place is exactly like the movie scenes from Lord of the Rings and we all felt like we were the movie characters, moving through the place. It really is like walking into a fantasy realm, the houses are all so small and looks like only dwarf or smurf can live inside. But surprisingly, they let us visit inside one of the houses and all the movie props were preserved so well! Everything was so lifelike and some of the props such as the cooking pot was shaking and even had steam blowing out. The fire place was real too, with real wood and real fire. At first i thought it was a fake fire made of paper but when i walked over and felt the heat, o realised it was a real fire!! It's definitely a must visit tourist spot, highly recommend!!”

On the plate at TUCKER TIRAU, the idea is classic fish‑and‑chips and well judged. Breakfast plates are tidy and satisfying. Serve sizes show solid value. Fries and sides round things out neatly. Fille...

“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!”

“Ordered the chilli scram and it was really good! The spring onions and chillis were a great addition, and added depth and flavour to the dish. The scrambled eggs themselves were velvety and delicious, and the sourdough underneath was buttered and toasted to perfection. The rest of the table seemed to really enjoy their meals as well! The atmosphere here is lively but not too loud, so none of us struggled to have conversations and hear one another. Overall, a great experience and we'll be back :)”

“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”

“One of the best coffees I have ever had... beautiful thank you.”

“Consistently good coffees every single time. Always my go to when in Hamilton. Too bad they don't open on weekends.”

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