I Japanese Cafe - Hamilton

We're currently traveling in New Zealand and trying out all the vegan options. Sentinel truly has the BEST vegan dishes we've experienced so far. We ordered the porridge and the Moroccan beans (vegan version). A great tip: add the fried mushrooms to your beans! They are incredibly delicious and satisfying! I couldn't even finish all of my beans.

This is a fantastic spot for a "treat yourself" lunch. The coffee is served in cups that are enjoyable to drink from, made of finer ceramics than you find at many places. They offer both batch brew and traditional coffee options. The menu has a delightful brunch and lunch vibe, featuring weekly specials and seasonal changes, ensuring there's always something exciting on offer. The staff are incredibly friendly, and the decor is lovely with a well-thought-out layout. Keep in mind, this isn't a place for a quick meal on a whim. However, they do accept phone or email orders for dining in, which works perfectly for those short lunch breaks.

This is a fantastic breakfast spot with a charming rustic and industrial decor. We both ordered the eggs Benedict, which were delicious. It would have been even better if there had been more hollandaise sauce available. We also tried the hot chocolate and turmeric latte.

Food was **** brilliant! We were blown away at the number of great vege options, with the options for meat eaters being just as good. Coffee was one of the best I have had in a long time excellent coffee art to boot. Cherry on top was the great service. Friendly staff, food was really quick, and everything was really clean. 10/10 would recommend!

We had the Omlette Chicken Bowl, Lemon Ginger Tea Orange Juice. Both was well served, well sized portions and yummy! However, the service was not overly considerate: No warmly welcome, nobody asked how we were doing while we had our food they first forgot to bring my orange juice. The café has a pretty interior design and comfortable benches. There are no rubbish bins in the ladies room, please optimise that.
