After competing the trip and reminiscing and reflecting on best foods in NZ, hands down BEST brekkie I had during trip along with Vu Du Larder in Queenstown!

I have been coming at least once to this cafe for breakfast every time I am at Hamilton on business…read more- over 10 times. So, when I discovered they moved a bit down the road to a larger nicer locale I was expecting a better experience. But I was disappointed by the slow service. Now you seat at the table and they wait for you. But the waiter took too long to take my full order after getting my initial beverage order. And then I waited for 20 minutes and my order had not arrived. On top of that some items in the menu where not available as they run out of Hollandaise sauce. Looks like even if the place is bigger, they still have a little kitchen not able to serve the larger clientele, and they are disorganized. At the end they forgot of my orders and I left as I could not wait any longer for food. What a missed opportunity!

Plenty of gluten free, vegetarian, dairy free, and vegan options! They also have a loyalty card for…read moreboth juices and hot drinks, which more places should do. Flat white wasn't the best but very open cafe that would be lovely to spend the day drinking coffee and working on a laptop and being apple to have a treat or lunch.

Visiting and picked this place just from a Google search and I'm glad we did. The food and coffee…read morewere both excellent (I had a flat white and the "mega omelet".) The mushrooms in my omelet were SO GOOD and the housemaid tomato relish was very tasty. The staff were super friendly and personable, and from hearing them talk to other customers, it's clear they have regulars and they care about them. All in all, a great experience.

Bad coffee. Not many vegetarian options. All salads have meat. A lot of sugar and fat.read more

Wonderful baked items, fresh eggs, and thoughtful beverages. My favorite is the "Healthy Breakfast", pictured here with Scott's Salmon Gravlax & Horseradish Crème Fraice.

A general rustic ambience is nice but a closer look reveals a somewhat grubby restaurant, Attention to detail wouldn't go amiss, not rocket science when the basics need a touch up. Think grimy floors around edges and into corners. Greasy and dust covered chandelier, plastic plants and other decor. Most unhygienic and sticky table surface and cabinet glass needs a detailed wipe with a clean good quality microfibre cloth. Not sure I'd make any recommendations when there are many other sparkling fresh eateries in Hamilton.

Let…read moreme break it down- lamb chops were excellent, bbq ribs great, chicken pizza yummy, steak was so so since it was not cooked as specified (we asked for medium rare, came out as well done). Our pepperoni pizza was good also, no one can mess that up, even with the wait time. Our server was attentive, he took good care of us. Our orders came after 40 minutes, can't complain about that since it was a busy night. Overall, we were happy with everything except for the extra wait time because they forgot to make our pizza. Ambiance was cozy- it was family friendly. We will definitely go back when we visit New Zealand again.

Entrees were average the dips for bread werent nice, bread was hard and cold and seafood chowder had more veges in it than seafood and tasted like pepper. The dessert was also average, Brownies were cold and the bannoffee pizza slice I had didnt have any banana on it. The kids pasta meal was loaded with mushrooms and was meant to be a carbonara, but it resembled the adults mushroom fettucine, I dont know a single child that likes mushrooms. The only reason for the stars is that the main adult meals were good.
