Good Food. Great Coffee. Bright Vibes.

At Wooden Spoon Café, everything starts with good food made from the heart.

“Fabulous 100% gluten-free cafe that we visited twice over 3 days. Only reason we didn't go every day was it was closed on Sunday!”

Proudly Local

At Wooden Spoon Café, we’re proud to be part of the Hamilton community. From our locally roasted Grey Roasting Co. coffee to the friendly faces who fill the café each day, everything we do is grounded in supporting and celebrating local.

Since opening in November 2023, the response from our community has been incredible. We were highly commended at the 2024 Hamilton Central Business Awards for Best New Business, and it’s been amazing to see the love shared in places like Neat Places and the Waikato Times.

These recognitions mean a lot, not just because they celebrate our food and coffee, but because they reflect the people behind them: our team, our customers, and the Hamilton locals who’ve made Wooden Spoon what it is.

We believe cafés are the heart of any neighbourhood, where stories are shared, friendships are made, and small moments turn into big memories. Whether you’re grabbing your morning coffee or joining us for lunch, you’re part of the community we’re so proud to serve.

This place was so good! If you're someone who doesn't eat gluten, this is the spot for you. It's been forever since I had something this tasty. Totally recommend the focaccia and the cinnamon roll.
