Food establishment 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”

“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.”

“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!”

“They know their stuff here. Answered my question and supplied a fantastic rose wine . Cheers”

“This is an excellent place to buy your natural health products from. The two ladies are helpful and professional in their attitude. Of course they stock a comprehensive range of product. Which they know well. I have consistently been here. Also My daughter visited the homeopath who is well experienced educated in his profession and was very helpful.”

“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.”

“Love this place, they had a great deal on 6 x Bottles French wine for $75 and there was a descent selection.”

“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.”

“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”

“I have done this place a huge injustice by living in Hamilton for 10 years without knowing it existed!!! The interior resembles a real Italian trattoria, and the ambience is authentic. The food was brilliant, and we tried traditional pizza, bolognese snd parmigiana. Gelato and tiramisu rounded up the wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!”

“Best place to eat with a good atmosphere.”

“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!”

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

“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!”

“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.”

“We enjoyed an amazing meal here with our family. The atmosphere is really warm and inviting, and the wall murals and artistic creations transport you back to the origins of cuisine and culture. Outstanding cuisine and service. The staff is well-informed and offers excellent suggestions. Would be delighted to return to Pappadomz and dine again.”

“Loveeeee the food here very much!! In our 2 weeks here in north NZ, we visited this outlet several times! The food really authentic. Our personal favourite : butter chicken, the beriyani ( chicken and lamb, both are excellent!) and of course the masala tea! Hats off to the chef!!!! Highly recommended for lunch and dinner!”

“Lovely staff, beautiful flavours and quick service. Good to know we have this in the Ngāruawāhia area. Great value....”

“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”
