Food Scene
Because the food is freshly baked and reasonably priced, can cater for many dietary requirements, the coffee is great, the service is great, there is plenty of parking and its free. It is a 2 minute drive from our home, or a five minute walk. Sometimes the café has live music, even during the day which is a plus.
There is a nice, trendy and cool vibe here, even better is that this is where many of the locals eat. Opens most days, best for brunch or lunch.

This is the Saturday Night market in the downstairs car-park, where we go for food, or have a browse. Its good because there is the K-Mart Mall upstairs, The Warehouse, and the Hamilton Bus Station across the road.

This is where the local history is, however it is better to go with the local Maori to teach you about the King Movement, and the Maori King.
