“Had an awesome night. The quality of the food was fantastic- I had the ribs and they just fell off the bones!! The meals were huge - but be warned that the kids meals are really big too - certainly plenty for a doggy bag !!”

“Stopped in for nostalgic drink on the way through. Did the job nicely.”

“Haven’t been for a while but popped in for lunch with a couple of colleagues. The service was great - wait staff were very attentive and pleasant (they actually smiled - you don’t always get that these days). The meals themselves exceeded my expectations, both in flavour and size. There was also no issue with a small meal alteration I had. And I had an almond hot chocolate (which can sometimes be a bit hit-or-miss depending where you go) but it was nice and hot, and absolutely delicious… 10/10”

“The meal was absolutely delicious! Tasty, fresh, mouth watering food! Cooked to perfection! All meals came out at the same time, we had a party of 9, great service & my margarita was truly one of the best cocktails l have had for a while. I definitely would recommend this well hidden place, a must to visit! Mīharo!!”

“The Greeting Staff put a Smile on my Day Upon Arrival...Where Te Korero was Heard... Tumeke Alright ...And that Familiar O'le Ambience of the Hillcrest Tavern was Present and Felt (Just missing the Big Garden bar that Once was) and that Tapped Brown Liquid Gold Enjoyed by All Living in the Now...Mauriora...TO THE HILLY...ILL BE BACK FOR JUST ONE MORE...hehe”

“Staff are some of the friendliest I have come across in any cafe. Great relaxing atmosphere and super chill space to chat or just do some work online etc. I want to recommend Charday (I can't remember how to spell her name properly sorry), she was so so kind and sweet. I love their massive bowl coffees, last for ages and good value. One of my fav cafes and atmospheres in Hamilton as far as cafes go.”

“A super creative touch: they can serve coffee in a corn cup lined with vanilla or chocolate flavouring. You drink the coffee, then eat the cup! How cool is that?! Best seats: Definitely by the window !!!perfect for enjoying the view while sipping your coffee.”

“Great garden shop has everything you need.. nice Cafe inside with yummy scones and coffee.”

“The best fancy shaved-ice I’ve ever tasted! I ordered Mango Cheesecake today and it was divine! It really made my day! Thank you for sharing this goodness in Hamilton”

“An awesome spot in Morrinsville! Lovely staff, great service. The menu really made me want to try everything. Portions are a healthy smaller size (if you are a big eater, you may want to order extras). The food was tasty, and lots of delicious options. Kids can play in the playground while you watch from the table. Thanks for a nice lunch!”
