Great brunch venue. Menu was so unique, I ordered something I love but have never seen. Lamb’s Fry, delicious. Great portion sizes. Boys ordered pancakes with maple syrup and bacon and crispy pork belly. Possibly a little too much sauce in the pork belly then...accustomed too but still a great offering. Service was quick and friendly. Highly recommend this place if you want one place to go that will offer satisfyingly yummy food that isn’t just ‘beige’!More

Whilst the cafe was very busy our food and drinks came out quickly. Friendly, well mannered staff. The food and coffee was hot and delicious. Highly recommend!!

We chose this place because it was near my mother in law’s retirement home. I ordered the prawn tacos with chips, there was a 35 minute wait between ordering the food & delivery & when the meal arrived the food was completely cold. Other members...of the group had better luck but nobody was overly impressed.More

Despite the seemingly good reviews and their Instagram talking a big game, my salmon bagel was so stale and dry that it snapped or crumbled rather than cut with a knife. The bagel's salmon portion was exceptionally tiny. My partner's Prawn tacos had slightly off...coleslaw as if the cabbage was old. She had to send the tacos back at first because they didn't make them gluten free as the menu said they were. Also, the bathrooms were unclean with bizarrely sticky walls and overflowing rubbish bin. We were disappointed as we wanted to enjoy ourselves given the reputation of the place however we probably wouldn't bother going back.More

The chocolate and raspberry brownie was way to hot and there was no raspberry in it. The iced chocolates had chunky cream. They messed up our order twice.

Used to be the best. Bubbly staff, local people, caring family environment. Now it’s changing shape with new clientele. Like the clients we avoid at their sister cafe down the road. Staff are less content and everyone is on edge. Thankfully coffee is still amazing!

I ordered harissa chicken salad and was dismayed at the quantity i got for $25,and I still felt hungry when finished. The menu said it had apricots but i didn't see any, mint yogurt but I couldn't taste any mint flavor, and pistachio crumb, which...also wasn't obvious. The dish was nice but certainly not packed with the promised harissa flavors . It was a bleakly cold day and yet they didn't have heaters on, so even with three layers of merino on I was cold and uncomfortable. Finally the waiter that served us did not wear his mask correctly so his whole nose was not covered. finally we were very close to other tables, more or less sitting back to back.More

Having been here before on a previous visit to Hamilton we knew this would be a good place for lunch. But we enjoyed it so much we returned the next day for lunch again. Lots of great options on the menu, including a few which...are rare to find. No wonder this place is pretty busy, although we were lucky each day to get an outside table. Yummy food, good service and reasonable prices too. What more could you want from a cafe?More

Cafe is very well-frequented and deserves to be. Very good coffee. But we are about to be hit by Omicron and better adherence to the rules, including masks-wearing by staff (covering the nose!) and social distancing should be attempted. A pity.

Coffee is always perfect, breakfast meals are amazing! Dog friendly with water bowls. I also stop in here to get my morning coffee before work. I moved into this area in 2020, and am now a regular here :-)

The service was great, the staff are friendly and nice unfortunately the food was average. Tiny portions and completely void of any flavour, apart from my partner's that was over seasoned and all you could taste was the salt. The tea was weak and no...matter how long I left it to stew didn't get any better. The food isn't exactly reasonably priced either so came out feeling pretty ripped off. This isn't the first time I've been here and came out feeling disappointed. Lesson learned, I won't be going back 😑More

Fantastic Eggs Bene with Bacon, eggs were cooked to perfection. Superb friendly service where all staff were professional and greeted you with a smile. Cannot fault Cinnamon Cafe, one of the best for sure.
