"Brilliant coffee. The beans have a unique sweet/spicy flavour and it's a little different compared to the usual darker/heavier roasts in Hamilton. Didn't try any of the food but it looked fantastic. Location is great as well - a bit off the busy streets and the interiors are really warm and welcoming. Staff is really helpful and energetic, they're doing a fantastic job. Lovely to see that on a Monday morning. One of the best cafes in Hamilton, serves as a perfect getaway of sorts."

"Discovered by accident when I took my car for the annual wof just in front. Awesome flat latte, smooth and tasty, from well selected grains. Owners are there to make sure you have a great experience. It is a real gem, hidden among panebeaters, auto shops and the train tracks. Worth every minute spent there."

"Great food and great character. Not just a destination, getting there is a history tour of the back streets of Frankton. Treat yourself to the journey and rest awhile to soak up the atmosphere, tasty food and smooth coffee. Highly recommend the scone burger, cheesy, toasted scone with a smear of Kim chi. Yum!"
