Sentinel Café makes trekking to work in Hamilton’s CBD a little bit better. Offering an expertly crafted menu, calming decor and even executive meeting rooms for hire, it’s the ideal place for a catch-up with colleagues.

The interior styling alone is everything you’d want from your weekday coffee spot. Bright open spaces are complemented by cooling hues across the tiling and feature walls, while warm timber accents, lush greenery and rattan chairs make this Hamilton café an inviting destination to order up a treat and smash through those emails. You’ll find friendly front of house staff and expert chefs ready to make your meal one to remember.

Speaking of coffee, they make a damn good cuppa with their own house blend 'Wonder' beans roasted specially from fellow Hamiltonians Grey Roasting Co. We hear a brew goes rather well with their ever-popular cinnamon rolls. But if you’re after a different kind of sip, choose from a range of fresh smoothies.

As for the delicious menu, our advice is to come hungry. Breakfast punters will be pleased with the solid line-up of classics, like brioche French toast and the good old eggs bene.

The cafe offers a selection of sweet treats gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free or keto, there’s an option for everyone. An express lunch menu that changes monthly, offering something new or classic faves for regular customers.
