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!

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

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!

Coffee Since Yesterday is a wonderful café located in the heart of Hamilton East on Grey Street…read more They have an incredible breakfast menu. If you're looking to load up on carbs before you start the day try the French Toast sticks. Otherwise, I almost always stick with Bagel Smashed Avo (yes, that's why I can't afford a house in New Zealand!) or eggs benny. Sometimes I get Eggs Montreal. If you know the difference between eggs benny and Montreal, you're in the right place. Finally, they also have chia pudding granola. You'll have to check that out if you're keen for an extra healthy start to the day. As you can imagine, the baristas skilfully make made-to-order coffee! And they have a fine selection of teas. There is ample seating inside and outside, and they have strong heaters outside for extra cold days. Customer service is excellent, too.

It was fun to mix it up and not just try to get out of the room in an hour, but to try to get more money than previous teams. It was definitely challenging, but not so challenging that it wasn't fun for 4 of us to do decently well. They also have snacks and a great area to play board games if you're not into escape rooms. Lots of great game options available!

Yep, we had fun! Fun clues and great clean rooms. Helpful staff. The puzzles kept with the theme,…read moreplus the room definitely added to my overall enjoyment. Our group was separated in to two rooms. We had to solve puzzles in order for the other group to proceed. Also, there were sound effects that added to the atmosphere.

However, my morning commute now takes me up Grey Street and I started stopping in here for coffee. The first time I went in, I was taken with the decor and atmosphere. I felt like I wanted to come back, a lot, and to check out the menu and not just the coffee. And, I have. In terms of my usual, flat white with vanilla, this one is very good. Nice balance of coffee with vanilla flavor. At times I am frustrated by the time it takes me to get the take away coffee, but it's because this place is popular and usually there's a line of folks waiting. One time I waited nearly 20 minutes and vowed to never come back... but that didn't last for long. I do love it here. I finally got around to having breakfast here with my husband and kids, about a month ago. I'd been eyeing all the bakery case items for weeks, but ended up ordering the muesli from the menu. It wasn't standard (see picture), but it was very tasty. I'd get it again. My husband was happy with his eggs and bacon. Now that I've become somewhat "regular" here for coffee in the mornings, the staff definitely recognize me, engage me in pleasant conversation and I've gotten a few cups of cold milk on the house (I always get this for my son when I get a coffee). They also have a frequent buyer card, so I've gotten a couple free cups from cashing those in as well. Overall, if you live here or if you are visiting, this is a great cafe to check out.

It's a lovely looking bar I think it must be quite new because all the furniture looked that way. Not the place itself though, it was really classy but rustic with mood lighting and lots of seats which I love, too many places don't offer enough seating and everyone just has to stand around. Their outside deck area was where we spent most of our night, they had outdoor tables and stools as well as a more comfy option...the outdoor sofa. They had two tv screens which she used to display pictures all evening. The bartender was pleasant and friendly and everyone looked like they had the best night.
