So technically there is no space here where you could work, sadly but truly it is allowed to grab your coffee and leave. The coffee and espresso here are beyond compare to anything that you have been having so far.
The drinks here are carefully and skillfully crafted and the staff is the friendliest staff you will ever meet. So that checks almost all boxes for a good coffee place.
4. Vintage Coffee Roaster
If you are a coffee fan, the name Vintage Coffee Roaster already sounds intriguing to you and you just want to check it out. It is where you get premium quality espresso and coffee and the best part of this business, they roast their coffee beans.
The coffee beans here are roasted on a weekly schedule. This method is applied to single-origin coffee and all kinds of blends from around the world like Sumatra, Peru, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and so many others.
The good baked goods here are seriously no joke as they are also freshly baked. If you are here, do try the Swiss Cone and the Sweet Potato as these items are a must-have here.

5. Cannon Coffee Co.
The coffee here is superb and honestly, if you are trying it for the first time you would want to keep coming back here for more. If you are in a hurry, grabbing a cup of coffee would do you good but try not to miss the signature waffles here.
The mouthwatering and delicious waffles paired with a nice cup of cappuccino, it does not get better than this at all. But if you are a big coffee nut and do not care for waffles, that is fine.

These were some of the amazing, more like outstanding, coffee spots that you can find in Hamilton during your visit. There are so many interesting cafes and roasters spread all over Hamilton that you would hardly find people complaining about the coffee scene here.
Some of the coffee places are small and some are your typical-looking coffee cafes. But do not let appearances fool you as the coffee here is the best that you can get.
The variety, other than the locally produced coffee, you get is certainly phenomenal. The blends are tricky to work with if you take a pack of Colombian coffee and try to brew it yourself.
In the hands of a true coffee expert, you get to experience the place where the coffee is from and that makes a huge difference. So, next time you are looking for a good cup of Joe, Hamilton is where you look up to.
