Grey Street Kitchen

If you’re passing through Hamilton and looking for a good spot to refuel, people always seem to suggest Grey Street Kitchen. A large, fresh space offering their very own Wonder coffee, cabinet food and a variety of exciting smoothies (such as the Yellow, tropical fruit and chia, and wheatgrass and spirulina Green), this is the sort of place you could turn up to every day and expect to find something a little different. Grey Street Kitchen is a community favourite, serving as a hub for locals, freelancers, or groups coming together for some food and a good yarn.

KeepCups and coffee-making apparatus can be bought here, but if you'd rather leave it to the professionals, the menu features many niche caffeinated options like V60 and iced pour-overs. The cabinet is full of fresh salads and baking made each morning, and a variety of gluten-free options are available. You’ll find this cafe on the corner of Grey Street in East Hamilton, a sunny spot with outside tables, free wifi, and lots of space if you are thinking of bringing along a large group. Stop by for a bite and a brew, and you might just realise that Hamilton is cooler than you thought.
