Notable chef Casual

Tucked away on Somerset Street in Frankton, Gather is a bright and welcoming café serving up a mix of fine flavours crafted by talented local chefs. The menu spans house-made smoothies, milkshakes, teas, coffees, soups, fresh cabinet bites, and a chef-curated selection of dishes, with a hot roast lunch every Sunday drawing a loyal crowd.

Just a short walk from Hamilton’s CBD and seconds from Seddon Park, Gather is perfectly placed for a pre- or post-game refuel, while Hamilton Gardens and Lake Rotoroa are only a quick drive away. The café serves multi-award-winning Chiasso coffee and was voted Gilmours Hospo Hotspot for Hamilton. You’ll also find Gather’s food at Propeller and Jet Fuel cafés inside Hamilton Airport.

With sunny décor, friendly service, and a cabinet always brimming with treats, it’s no surprise Gather is a local favourite.

Meet the Bakers: Ed and Ryan from Volare Bread

Story Hamilton
Volare (pronounced vo-la-ree) Bread was founded in 2009 by two school friends, Ed and Ryan, who saw a gap in the Waikato market for artisan baking. With a vintage oven, a worn-out mixer, and an old van, they embarked on a mission to create a bakery that would bring traditional, high-quality baked goods to the region.  What started as a modest dream quickly grew into something much larger. Today, Volare is an award-winning bakery with five thriving stores and a growing wholesale business, capped with the honour of being the chosen bakery at the newly established Made Market precinct.
