The Corner Cafe

Amazing brunch at Corner Cafe. We had the smashed avo with a side of bacon, and it was very, very nice. But huge! Next time, we will share it, I think.nTheir cabinet food mostly bakery offerings were very tempting, too. Good coffee and lovely service.nShame they didn't set up their business somewhere with a better view, but really, it's a great breakfast or coffee stop.

A visit to The Corner Café on this windy Sunday afternoon in Hamilton was a busy one, and I’m glad we made a reservation via Facebook Messenger, although part of our group couldn't make it.nnHere’s how we rated the dishes:nnOreo Milkshake – 5/5: Perfect presentation with crunchy Oreo bits throughout. A real treat.nnBanana Cream Pie Milkshake – 4/5: Creamy with a subtle sweetness, not too overpowering. The biscuit on top was a nice touch. Refreshing and enjoyable.nnYellow Super Smoothie – 4.5/5: Fresh and vibrant, with cinnamon adding a nice enhancement to the flavour. However, if you’re not a fan of cinnamon, this might not be for you. The coconut flakes were a great addition.nnFried Chicken – 4/5: Tasty, crunchy, and juicy. The salad was fresh but had a slight bitterness that the sauce helped balance. The batter coating on the chicken was spot on.nnCheese Burger with Aioli, Ketchup, Mustard & Pickles – 4.5/5: Thick, juicy, and bursting with fresh flavours. The bun was soft, with the right amount of sauce, mustard, and cheese. The gherkin and onion added a nice tang. The side of Shoestring Fries were fresh, hot, crunchy, and the herb mix took them to the next level.nnEggs Benedict with Magills Thick Cut Bacon – 2.5/5: Smaller portion than expected, with just two small pieces of bacon. The eggs were perfectly cooked with runny yolks, and the creamy hollandaise sauce was well-executed. The focaccia was tasty and a bit crispy without being oily, but overall, it didn’t quite meet expectations.nnFrench Toast with Orange Yoghurt and Date Syrup – 5/5: The standout dish. Pillow-soft with great flavour, perfectly paired with creamy yoghurt. A definite winner.nnCheers

Great place for brunch with friends. Reasonable selection of food in the cabinet and decent menu options. Had “eggs your way” with bacon and mushrooms - delicious and well presented.nStaff are really lovely too.nNote: no almond milk though, and it was warm, so next time I’ll ask for ‘extra hot’ which is what I do at most cafes. Very nice though.nI recommend Corner Cafe as a location, particularly if you’re in the north east part of Hamilton.

Been here a few times but always forget to review - better late than never. Thanks for good food, good coffee, and a lovely + beautiful local cafe. Well done Veda and team!

One of the best cafes I've been to in Hamilton. The Corner Cafe is well worth a detour. Loved everything about this Cafe, service, food and clean, spacious area. Cabinet and menu options with a unique twist on familiar favourites. Currently some road closures nearby but worth going around a couple of roads to find it.
