Was our breakfast stop on Monday morning and it was a great choice. Friendly atmosphere, good food, portions were bigger than we expected and it was a good surprise. Coffe is great. Wish they had more tables and space. Also better to ask them about the dish, as some descriptions doesn't say that it is spicy, which would be frustrating for someone who can not tolerate peppers. Overall great experience.

What a great find in Hamilton. It's a Wow, I just had the best breakfast in Hamilton! ?? The food was absolutely outstanding, and I can see why this place is so popular. Even though it was busy, the service was quick and friendly. Definitely worth the wait - I'll be dreaming about those fluffy pancakes for days! ? Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area.
Very cozy and welcoming, with a nice interior that made it a great spot to relax. The employees were friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect. The food was delicious, and the coffee was really good too :)

This is a really beautiful brunch spot. They make reasonably priced, truly delicious breakfasts. Their weekly short Stack pancakes are a must have, but almost everything is good. Service leaves something to be desired but the food is fantastic.

This place is adorable!! Great location with both inside and outside seating. The food was absolutely delicious and the owner even made sure we had everything we wanted and that it was to our liking. She was very friendly and sincere. Highly recommend this place for brunch or lunch!

I ordered a cheeseburger, which was decent, and some waffle fries which were great. I also got a peach tart, which I thought was only mediocre until I discovered a chunk of green mould in the middle. Suffice to say, I won’t be a repeat customer.

There is something about their breakfast sandwiches that tastes so much better than any fast food restaurant and the coffee is great! Love this little place. $20 for a very nice breakfast.

Stopped in for breakfast after missing my train. I've never been so grateful to be late. The home fries can only be described as life changing. Honestly one of the very best breakfasts I have had at any price. I recommend you walk 10 minutes from West Harbour. There'll be other trains.

I've been going to Saint James for many years, and it's only gotten better with time! Cozy spot, big windows and bright atmosphere. Great for meeting up with a friend or a solo date. Tasty food and coffee! They also have a nice patio in the summer. Definitely would recommend!

Fantastic breakfast - we were a group of three, we had the old fashioned, the mushroom toast, and the peachy stack. All the food was fantastic, the coffee was strong and well made. Mushroom toast was a stand out, the bread overall is very good - not too crisp, not too soft, toasted perfectly. The pancakes were amazing and the sausage and hashbrowns were excellent.
The hashbrowns might be the best I've ever had - smashed, crispy and well seasoned.
The service was pretty fast but just really nice. Lots of uber orders coming and going, super friendly staff and they knew what they were doing. Washrooms were spectacularly clean.
The only suggestion I have is for the staff to check if the coffee is for inside or to go, as they defaulted to to go cups when we were in the restaurant. Otherwise, a fantastic spot for Tgiving breakfast on a rainy Sunday morning.
Unreal breakfast! Potatoes, crepes, eggs, bread....I just wish I had enough room for the baking!!! Just go and see

This place has great food and coffee, but it is very tiny. If you are meeting more than two people and don’t get the one big table it can be very squishy. They do a great job of managing their guests, and the food is wonderful, it is just tiny.

Located in a rough area of Hamilton. They have codes on bathrooms due to non-customers coming in to use.
Tables, front doors, etc. were all sticky. While food was tasty and great deals, leaves you wondering due to cleanliness.

30 minutes for salad?!
When we got there the staff members were friendly. We ordered at the counter like we were supposed to and had to put in a tip before we even got our food. I put 15% tip thinking I could put cash down at the end of our meal (typically I tip 18-20). We waited 30 minutes for our food (I only know this becauseo we were checking our parking metre). When we got our food I had to go back to the counter to ask for cutlery and water (since we finished our coffees). We eventually got both with no “oops” or apology. Food was ok. Definitely not worth the wait. We got a burger and a salad so I’m not sure why we had to wait so long (and it wasn’t rammed or anything). I don’t know if the 15% tip is why it took so long or if this was typical. I will not come here again since the food was not worth the inattentive “service”.
