Amazing service! Great food & Good coffee love the atmosphere and we saw a dog bowl outside, would that mean your allowed to bring dogs or no? Cool outside area. Will visit when its warmer and sunnier it would be such a nice spot to have coffee and food (: thanks guys! Mum and I LOVED the pots as holders love that touch! Feels homely (:

Very beautiful place with warm welcoming staff, reasonable number of meal options but in high quality. I've had chicken burger with a slice of ham, it was served with chips and sauces, excellent taste, but the chicken thickness could be more, it was about 5mm, it would be better if it were thicker, but the overall taste was perfect. Their pastries also looked very tempting but I had to go to a site visit and couldn't fill my belly up. Enough parking area, joyful place to be.

First time here and the food and service was beautiful. The cabinet and menu both had exciting options and flavour profile. Elevating your classic normal dishes. Kids meal was pretty and came withbthe best smokey, thick cut streaky bacon. I was impressed when the staff went out of their way to request feedback for their new winter "bread and butter" French toast. Shows that they really care about your experience, and it was how it looks- a delight!

The coffee was simply outstanding—rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed. The food was equally impressive, with a menu full of delicious options that were as beautifully presented as they were tasty. To top it all off, the service was impeccable. The staff were warm, attentive, and made sure every detail of my experience was perfect. Whether you're stopping in for a quick coffee or enjoying a leisurely meal, Cinnamon cafe is a perfect place.

We had a wonderful evening. The food was an amazing experience, an explosion of flavors in the mouth. Big thanks to Chef Davide for coming over and explaining every dish. Camarosa is a lovely spot, and they have a lot of gluten-free options too. Totally recommend it!

Quick service Very generous serving. You will not leave hungry. Friendly happy staff. A special meat only dish was catered for.

First time visiting this place. We stopped by on our way to another city with two friends, and it turned out to be a great choice. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff were friendly, and the food was delicious. One of my friends who loves taking photos especially enjoyed the place. There was also plenty of street parking, which was a bonus. Highly recommend!

Amazing!! The staff. The food. Home made. Very fancy and wonderful flavours. Definitely not boring. Love the cabinet food too.

This is not the Two Birds whole / raw food eatery of the past, but under new ownership, something completely new. I must admit that when I saw there was no cabinet food, I was disappointed, but, being Sunday and needing a relaxing place to eat, this was ideal and they still have their delightful, sheltered courtyard. We ordered the Humble Bowl (not a bowl), a tasty vegetarian mixed plate with satay sauce, and the Crispy Chicken Burger with fries. Both were amazing! Highly recommend giving this place another try. We will be back. Also, you get 4 hours of free parking at Clyde Centre if you register your number plate.

We had a wonderful breakfast experience at Gather Foodhouse Cafe in Hamilton. The salmon egg benedict was delicious, perfectly cooked with a rich hollandaise sauce, pancakes were fluffy, and we loved the waffles and fries — generous portions that satisfied everyone. The coffee was also great, offering a smooth and flavorful start to the day. The presentation was lovely, with pretty plating accented by delicate flowers, adding a touch of elegance. The cafe is quiet and peaceful in the early morning, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy your meal. Overall, a fantastic place for a hearty breakfast with lovely ambiance — Definitely worth returning.

I've been here a few times. Great place for a coffee when you're going along main Street. They have a selection of different coffee beans to chose from, and provide a consistently good coffee to match their selection. There is some cabinet food, kitchen food, as well as chocolate truffles to pick from for food. I personally got a flat white and loved it. My friend got the mocha pictured and as you can see, they also present their drinks well.

Amazing staff, coffee, food is delicious. Best cafe in Hamilton!

The eggs benedict was great, and their bacon is phenomenal. They get all of their breads and grains from the grumpy baker across the street. And the dishes are all very artistically plated.

We had a delicious breakfast at cream! I had the 'Full Cream" breakfast for $30 and my husband had the Egg and Bacon Bap from the cabinet. My food was delicious! Flavours were unique but beautifully paired. We also both had a mocha, perfection! Not too sweet not too bitter 👌 All up our food (two meals + two drinks) cost about $58. Atmosphere is lovely, a small space that has been beautifully designed to feel bigger. Staff were friendly. We'll be coming back hopefully!

It seems Hamilton is upping its game. This cafe is absolutely superb. Beautiful interior, outside area which us great for a sunny day. Family friendly cafe. Service was fantastic and food was absolutely delicious. I am very much impressed. Hamilton needed a cafe like this for a long time.

The venue is great, but the food and coffee is simply “ok” for the value. Not excellent, but not bad at all. Would I make it my regular, probably not because there is better choice up and down the street. Service is awesome and so is the atmosphere in the venue. Just need to improve the USP “unique selling point” of the cafe.
