About Hamilton's Coffee • Burgers • Fried Chicken

Tucked along a quiet strip in Mont Albert, Hamilton's pairs barista-pulled espresso with serious griddle craft. Regulars drop by for thick Black Angus patties and the house Popeye's chicken sandwich—stacked with scratch-made pickles on toasted buns. The standout move is leaning into the Japanese fusion twists: wasabi seasoning, or crunchy chips tossed in Japanese mayo, roasted seaweed, and sesame. Take an outdoor seat under the village awning and sip a proper Uji matcha latte while the kitchen cooks to order.

  • Japanese Fusion Touches: Grounded in creative touches like wasabi-seasoned burgers and chips topped with Japanese mayo, roasted seaweed, and sesame.
  • Cafe Meets Burger Bar: Morning espresso, chai, and authentic Uji matcha lattes share the ticket with scratch-made fried chicken and Angus burgers.
  • Village Curbside Seating: Casual, dog-friendly open-air tables set along a leafy, relaxed suburban shopping street.
