Popped in for a bite to eat with my partner and the cafe did not disappoint. Lovely good quality food, reasonably priced, friendly and engaging staff that is super clean. It is very busy but the staff are more than capable of handling it and and not off putting while you eat either. The cafe sells Equis ice cream so that’s always a bonus. Will definitely be back next time I’m in the area.

Hadn't been in for year's. Visited today with my parents. The service was top notch. The soup was amazing. Especially the cream of mushroom. Can't believe I've left it so long to go in. Will become a regular place to pop into when I'm in Hamilton.
