House Of Java — Restaurant in Hamilton

This local coffee place is simply the best in town.

For a quick fresh coffee, you get to select from three blends, which get rotated with others regularly. Dairy-free options are available!

Even better is the huge variety of amazing flavours you can purchase for home in the form of bagged ground coffee, sized perfectly for the coffee pot. Favourites of mine are amaretto, blueberry, Hawaiian Hazelnut, and butter pecan. The wonderful smell alone once you get a pot brewing is intoxicating!

Alongside coffee, you can also find a nice assortment of tea flavours, chocolates by the piece, fresh baked goodies and international sweet treats of all kinds.

Sweeter than all of this is the owner, providing us with the kindest, most genuine, customer service. She makes the shopping experience feel like you're visiting a lovely neighbour, and that is priceless.

This coffee shop is the whole package; quality, variety, affordability, customer service, local...Do yourself a favour and give it a try next time...

Don't let the small storefront fool you: they carry a surprisingly plentiful selection of coffees, teas, baked goods, and sweets!

Picked up some crinkle cookies to try with a latte and they were like soft, chewy brownies in cookie form, with a dusting of icing sugar on top! They even have it in ube flavour for those who aren't into anything super sweet. My favourite was the mint though which still had a very strong chocolate taste to them!

There's not much parking around that doesn't get taken up fairly quickly (free nor paid) and the street gets quite congested during the day so your best option if you're driving is to park a little further and bring your coffee to enjoy in one of the nearby parks. Makes for a very lovely experience!

P.S. the debit/credit machine doesn't have a tip function so you'll want to bring change or let them...

Such a positive start to my day, it was my first time trying this cafe. Randomly decided to go there because my bus was getting delayed for more than half hour, and I started to feel really hungry. As i was paying just felt like asking if my bus stops at the stop outside this cafe. And a very nice customer overheard our conversation and offered to ride me home. It was worth coming here, like the universe wanted me go there. ❤️✨ Not to forget the lady who served me was wonderful and polite and the croissant was delicious. Must visit this place such a positive aura and wonderful experience ☺️ will come again, sorry for my lengthy review just felt...
