“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.”

“Driving through on our way south, the breakfast I had from this cute little cafe was delicious!! The flavour combinations were great!(i had the avocado toast on rosti potatoes instead of sour dough) Holy recommend!”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“Incredible place to have dinner! Nice view, attentive staff and superb food. Highly recommended”

“Lookout Bar has a great vibe – awesome views, friendly staff, and solid food. The smoked pizza was seriously good – crispy base, great flavour, and that smoky touch really makes it stand out. Seafood was super fresh, especially the prawns and calamari – cooked just right. Only downside was the sauce on a couple of dishes – felt a bit heavy and overpowered the natural flavours. Would’ve been perfect with just a lighter touch. Still, a great place to relax with a drink and enjoy the view. Worth a visit, especially if you’re into bold flavours and casual coastal dining.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Always good food and coffee. I am not usually a salad person but their Moroccan chicken salad is to die for! CC & Jeffrey are always upbeat and friendly and ready to help.”

“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 ❤️”

“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.”

It's a delightful spot to savor a delicious cup of coffee accompanied by delectable sweets like their irresistible brownies and cakes.

While it may not have been my ultimate discovery, it certainly stands as a solid option for a cozy coffee break with tempting treats.”

“Got to a job early so decided to stop and grab coffee from daydream espresso and what a great call it was. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Coffee was great but the star of the show was the chunky slice of banana bread. Exactly what you need on a cold morning heated up with slashings of butter. I'll definitely be back. Great little place to answer a few emails from.”
