Scotts Epicurean

One of Hamilton’s longest running cafes and it’s easy to see why. It’s exactly what you expect from a good cafe: consistently great coffee, tasty food, quick service and comfortable dining. This is a narrow cafe with some street seating, about 10 indoor tables and a large outdoor area at the back which feels like a secret oasis in the middle of the city. Service is speedy and friendly. Coffee’s come quickly. Food is tasty and they do waffles and fantastic pasta as well as the usual café breakfast/lunch bits. Expect to pay about $18-25 for a meal for one excluding drinks.

A must visit for Hamilton. Cosy little cafe with sensational food. Love seeing the regulars catching up on the weekends here. Good coffee. That addictive aglio olio is out of this world! Had mine with bacon. They publish their recipe online, I have since made it but using less pasta as I love making it extra garlicky. The waffle was also very good with the zingy lemon curd.

Beautiful cafe, great customer service and the food was sooo delicious. i recommend the savory waffles. definitely must try!

Very good iced coffee. Husband approved! Perhaps the only cafe I've encountered so far, using metal straws. Ordered their waffles and Aglio Olio with prawns. Waffles was good. The lemon curd are used sparingly and nicely spread out so it's not over powering. The pasta was flavourful.

Every road trip needs a good food stop, Scotts is the place if your roadie goes through Hamilton. **** good coffee and great food, including some great dishes with what I think is an Eastern European twist. Highly recommended.
