“We came here based off a recommendation and will definitely be back! We ate early, so there wasn't much of an atmosphere and the service was a little relaxed - which is fine, as we weren't in a rush. The food was out of this world! The portions are huge and the flavour in everything was just amazing. Our table each had something different and everyone thought that their dish was the best. We honestly loved this place and can't wait to visit again!”

“Such a gorgeous place ! Such lovely people. Drinks were great, food was great, service was great. Love the decor. Cosy relaxed vibe such a sunny garden at the back loads of plants 100% make this your morning coffee spot. Came here everyday while we were staying. Lots of vegan / vegetarian options and substitutes too.”

“The food was lovely, we went specifically to hear the live music and have a few nibbles with our drinks. I am very critical when it comes to squid and what arrived on my plate was cooked to perfection. I loved the live music supplied by the Jinx Duo, the atmosphere they created was fun and good easy listening.”

“what a great spot for breakfast with the family. delicious eggs benedict, excellent plating and presentation, and great staff as well! they have plenty of gluten free goodies as well”

“Really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. Very attentive helpful staff. Enjoyed trying a couple of cocktails. Really enjoyed the drama of the stone grills. Great touch with the branded burger buns. Only slight improvement would be for the Jameson jeus as it had no flavour at all, but a super easy fix”

“Delicious new muesli on breakfast menu. Also makes a tasty, moreish scroggin for scoffing on the go. Was peaceful when myself and 11 month old came in for coffee and food. Team were very accomodating, adapting breakfast with more yogurt so baby could have some too. Amazing coffee.”

“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!”

“Visited The Kirk Café in Hamilton and really enjoyed everything we tried — especially the sweet muffin, the pork & chorizo roll, and the samosa roll. You can tell the food is made fresh and with care. It is a little on the pricier side, but the quality definitely shines through. Cozy spot and tasty eats — worth a visit!”

“Cheffy cabinet food,= yumm. Lovely staff Mature and cultured, polite and conversationalistic = a treat Beverages made well. Barista coffees. Flavours real. Proper cafe quality unlike " other would be if they only could be on outskirts of town". Full marks replete. Thank you for serving us today”

“One of my lunch faves! My go to is Roast pork belly noodle salad and a mixed combo Bahn mi which has lemongrass beef/chicken and pork belly (sorry didnt take a photo before i ate it). Sooooo yummy! Delicious Vietnamese flavors through all their dishes, have never been disppointed here and i eat here once sometimes twice a month. Ordered the prawn fresh paper rolls which came with a yummy peanut sauce. Food came out quick, staff are friendly and service is awesome. Don't normally have to book but it was busy today at lunch. Prices are reasonable too! Highly recommend!”

“Can’t go wrong with Robert Harris, you always get a consistent feed. Got the salmon eggs bene and it had a really decent amount of salmon which is rare. The salmon roulade was great and the chips. Coffee is always good. Staff were friendly too.”

“As I walked past, I noticed my 2 mates eating in here. I pulled up and went in. Bar had a nice friendly atmosphere and a nice layout with an authentic feel. I order the pork belly hotpot and it was top both. Was so hot(heat) that I felt it had been in a nuclear reactor for a short time but once it had cooled down I could enjoy the full flavours of the dish. The pork belly was delicious and the soup was great too. Plenty of noodles and other well cooked veg. 100% will eat here again. Extremely well priced dishes for the portion sizes. . Highly recommended.”

“Omg, wow!! Honestly the freshest and cooked to perfection, snapper and chips I've ever had, lovely customer service definitely HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Fantastic!!!”

“Winner Winner is home to the best chicken I have ever tasted. The white bbq chicken and bacon burger is the most indulgent and rich burger that is worth skipping some meals to not feel so guilty for eating. Our server at the counter was fantastic and bubbly, she definitely created an inviting atmosphere and enhanced our experience. Best burgers, best staff. Come to Winner Winner!”
