Every good community needs a common hub, say the owners of this excellent café. This is a delightful neighbourhood eatery offering creative robust food, craft beer, carefully selected wine and great coffee in Hayes Paddock — the heart of Hamilton East. Committed to careful management of waste and sourcing the best of local produce, this eatery truly delivers.

At breakfast the indulgent Commoner, with poached eggs, miso potatoes, spiced lamb sausage, thick cut bacon, portobello mushrooms, garlicky greens, sourdough, Hayes kasundi is pure indulgence, while those wanting a lighter option can choose avocado & pea smash, with cashew feta, wilted cavolo, pickled lime, pumpkin seed dukkah on sourdough. For lunch start with a cocktail and enjoy a selection of very tasty and often Middle Eastern inspired dishes like roasted cauliflower salad, falafel, lemon tahini, pickled lime, rocket, seeded cracker, a comprehensive mezze plate, or sumac lamb ribs with hummus, pomegranate and zaʼatar. Wed to Sun 8.30am to 3.30pm.
