Cafe in Hamilton

“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.”

“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.”

“Had brunch on Saturday. Whilst the menu choices were a little limited, the quality of the food and portion size was good. And friendly service too. Look for this new café on market street and give them a try.”

“We walked in off the street with our 2 mokos. There was no hesitation about giving us the last table. The restaurant was so very busy but there was a very relaxed feel, despite their busyness. The attendents were friendly and engaging. There was an apology for the length of wait time but no apology was needed, the food was delicious, your service tops and the atmosphere was perfect. Lovely evening. Helped to end our beautiful weekend. Thank you!”

“An amazing tea experience today. As a tourist who loves tea I would highly recommend this place. They have tea tasting 3 teas for $15. They also have a variety of teas, mostly oolong (their specialty) and black tea blends. There are also very nice tea pots and cups. The two ladies who helped us today were knowledgeable, welcoming and helpful. They explained how tea picking occurs as well as what makes each tea special. I would love to see a tea picking experience, that would be a great tourism boost for the place and could be done in a controlled way to ensure no contamination of the soil. Otherwise, I loved it today!”
