First time trying this coffee shop located in downtown Hamilton. Had great reviews so I thought I’d check it out. Coffee and service are fine but the breakfast sandwich was very disappointing. Paid $20 (tax included) for a breakfast sandwich and small americano. Sandwich was around $14 likely and definitely not worth it. Feel quite ripped off if I’m being honest. I did ask for it deconstructed however everything was barely warm, the veggies were cold and it was just difficult to eat. I had to ask for the food to be microwaved because the whole thing seemed like it had been sitting out for 10 mins. I’d recommend the coffee but I wouldn’t recommend food here. Edit: replying to the response the owner provided: thanks for the suggestion of eating a cheaper option but after the experience of the food, I will not be returning for food. Also, bacon shouldn’t be served cold even when it’s in a sandwich. Also, I think pricing a sandwich at 12.50 is completely reasonable, but for what I received, it was not. That is what I was trying to get across.

This café is probably on the best street in Hamilton. While it’s small and not a 'main' street, you’ll find nice spots here. It’s clean, and every place has a patio, which adds to the sense of safety in this city full of homeless people. The espresso was good, and the girl who served us was great. The interior is very interesting and nice.

Our kids downtown have made this their regular go-to for coffee and a baked good. They treated us to coffee this past Sunday, and I can sure understand why they enjoy it so much. Even though spacious, it feels cozy, with separate spaces for sitting at tables or on comfy couches and chairs. Excellent coffee and the baked goods are terrific. Based on the other customers' orders, I think the waffles must be delicious - they were flying out of the kitchen! Sure to become a regular stop.
