Food establishment in Hamilton

“It was our first time to Blue Haven Berries and we were surprised with the huge ice-cream servings. Customer services was awesome. Environment was family friendly as my kids enjoyed running around under trees and in the field. Looking forward to our next trip to Hamilton just to enjoy an ice cream.”

“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.”

“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”

“We had a get together cousins. To remember one of us that had passed. We wanted a happy day and that is exactly what we got. Has oldies having a laugh with our memories. Watching the children as they played. And the food and service was top-notch.I would recommend cafe 77 any time any day thank you cafe 77”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We family of 4 people went to buy vehicle from Taupō to Hamilton and we decided to break for lunch. We read such fabulous 5-star reviews that we thought we would try the Welcome Indian Takeaway Restaurant — and it did not fail us at all! The food was just amazing. For having traveled so far, each of the meals that we had ordered was just full of real flavor — in all seriousness, it was some of the finest Indian food we'd ever had in our whole lives. Nicely prepared, beautifully spiced, totally unforgettable and price is so reasonable which anyone can effort compare to others restaurants. The food was equally impressive. The staff were welcoming, polite. Special mention to Bikash for excellent hospitality service — he made us feel so welcome and proved his excellent hospitality service. If you are in Hamilton or even just passing through, this is an absolute must-visit destination. You will understand why so many people give it 5 out of 5 stars after you have experienced it yourself. We will return, again and again! Krishna Sharma”

“Nice food! They open only once a month for dinner! Want to come back to try other dishes.”

Rainforest Malaysian Kitchen runs with a Japanese‑leaning menu and an easy pace. Value feels fair for the quality. Desserts close the meal with familiar comfort. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy.

“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.”

At Smoke Collective Barbecue, the menu stays burger‑led and no‑fuss. Ribs and steaks arrive seasoned and tender. Fries and sides round things out neatly. The team keeps things friendly and organised.

On the plate at Camel Kebab Flagstaff, the idea is kebab and pita and well judged. Takeaway travels well and holds its crunch. A sensible spend for the spread. Serve sizes show solid value. Cuts are s...

“Walked in the doors and the place set up was very nice and authentic, the wooded dinning tables and chairs and a couple outdoor table and chairs are nice and simple, sit and enjoy a latte in the morning sun with there signature avo on toast. Customer service is kind and gentle. Not long the cafe began to get busier from 9:15am onwards. This cafe brings the attention of adults from the city Businesses close by. I don't think it would be suitable for young children, it's not spacious enough for prams. This cafe space and dinning seems more suitable to older children, teens, adults. Wheel chair accessible but the space within may not be spacious enough for comfort.”

“Nice and clean bakery cafe, egg tart is popular , kids loved it very much, bought 8 two days ago, and came back today for another 12. Coconut jelly is fresh taste , too. Good rest area during trips.”

“We had their lamb kebab and chicken kebab combo deal. It was certainly value for money. The meats and veggies had the right proportion. We particularly appreciated their veggies as they were carefully prepared and seasoned. Highly recommended!”

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

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

“Stopped in for a late lunch. There was still plenty of food available. The milkshakes were delicious. The ham & cheese filling was super generous - although not hot inside. There is a very nice covered "outdoor" area. Lovely, happy and friendly service.”

“My favorite sushi place in Hamilton, fresh food, good selection and nice staff.”

“If you’re ever in Hamilton, I absolutely suggest giving Dr Donburi a try. It’s a fantastic spot that won’t break the bank, with hearty portions and incredible flavors. We tried Teriyaki chicken and Chicken Katsu Donburi. The free-flowing miso soup is a great bonus, and the staff are genuinely welcoming, making the whole dining experience even better. Honestly, it checks all the boxes!”

On the plate at Al Baik, the idea is simple, bistro‑style and well judged. Easy carry‑out for a simple night in. Value feels fair for the quality. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. A fami...

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

“I stumbled across this cozy little café while exploring Hamilton and it’s easily one of the best breakfast spots I’ve visited in New Zealand! The coffee was exceptional—smooth, rich, and perfectly brewed. I had their scrambled eggs with avocado & halloumi on sourdough and it was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with lots of natural light and a relaxed vibe. It’s clear they take pride in using local, high-quality ingredients, which is a big plus for me. If you’re looking for a great place to start your day, this is it! I can’t wait to return next time I’m in the area. Highly recommend!”

“The Vegan Poke bowl at Pickle and Plum was one of the most delicious meals I’ve possibly ever had ! Could easily fill two people for lunch and had the most amazing flavours. Will definitely be going back for another. As an extra touch it would be lovely to have some vegan baked goods in the cabinet !”

“I've been coming here for years anytime we head through TA and have never been disappointed with the food or service! The loveliest family business.”

“Quite possibly one of the best cafes I have been to in Hamilton. Anytime I am in the area I like to have a sit down, drink some tea and enjoy their eggs on toast. Lovely food, lovely staff; just lovely all round. Never miss.”

“The cafe is very homey. Ambiance is very good . They Dont have much food selection but they were great. They have a small play area for little girls. Good seating capacity around 25 pax at once. The toilet is well maintained. The antique Shop next to the cafe added some vibes. Overall, Top Deck cafe is a good choice :)”
