Reviews of The Kirk Cafe
"Nice place. My food was a bit salty, but the flavors were good. Raw beetroot didn't add anything much. They had a staffing crisis the day we were there, but they coped well despite this. The sweet treats looked amazing. And the cat was very friendly."
"We drove from Tauranga and our friends drove from Auckland so we had high expectations. I ordered the famous French toast and loved it. It was like eating a work of art. Hubby had the eggs Benni and it looked incredible! Be prepared to spend a bit of money though."
"Came here on Sunday and it was busy! There was a sign at the front till warning customers food is expected to take 40mins. I’ve looked at the prices of the menu … and it’s so expensive. If the restaurant was nicely renovated with nice menus with a logo and fonts that suggests a high class restaurant, then maybe I don’t mind paying $36 for big breakfast or $25.5 for a Bap. I paid $12.5 for a vegetarian samosa with the tiniest amount of tomato relish and a brush of aioli… the menu uses premium ingredient like “truffle oil” in their creamy mushroom, but still their environment, service, logo, advertisement doesn’t justify why I should pay $12.5 for a vegetarian samosa. Creamy mushrooms were $28.5 …. Just shocked how pricey it is …. But there were many customers coming in so I guess people don’t mind paying $$$ for an average brunch that you can elsewhere for a cheaper price. (Personal opinion) I know prices of produce has gone up and so did min wage… but still I’m not sure why it’s so expensive… maybe it’s just a Sunday menu that’s $$$, maybe on a weekday it’s cheaper ? Regardless, I don’t recommend this place unless you don’t mind paying an average of $25-35 for a dish"
"One of the best cafes I have eaten in Hamilton. Good food with very minute detailing. Excellent presentation I tried the avocado toast which was delicious infact I really like the pickle cauliflower and spicy dukkah it lifted the whole dish. Bright and fresh colours the dish really stand out to me. Well done team Kirk we would definitely be back."
"One of the best cafe i found when i was looking for something for breakfast. Lovely place with lots of dining space and parking space. Very well organised, food was excellent and outstanding service. The lady owner is so sweet and friendly. Special Thanks to her for the recommendation Tried their Avocado on toast, Eggs on toast, mini breakfast special. Everything was outstanding and mouth watering. Portion size is amazing one plate good for one person. Not only the food the coffee is also superb. I usually have Mocha in morning which I usually get the smell of burnt coffee in most of the cafe but here it was made to perfection with exact amount of coffee, milk and chocolate. Very thing is very lovely. Must visit. Will visit again when back in Hamilton."
