Saint James Espresso Bar & Eatery - Hamilton, Ontario

Went in on a Saturday morning, they were a bit short staffed so we had an issue getting table and orders but not bad for a a two people group. Got the Malibu (the English muffin sandwich). It was great, the egg was tasty, the hash brown crisp added an extra ... good crunch. The matcha latte was average, seems like the sweetened matcha was used. Strawberry pancake was good but too sweet for me personally. Not a fan of the crumbs. My friend liked it. Overall a good stop. Read more

My salmon toast and matcha latte were delicious! I don’t know if maybe I missed some part of the menu but I wasn’t able to order pancakes (maybe the item was removed?) overall the service was good and the only negative feedback I would give is that the table was ... not clean and someone from next table dropped half a water bottle in my shoes (perhaps the tables are too close to each other).

Food and coffee are good. But the fried potatoes are too salty. Ideally, it should be very light salt, and customer can add whatever they want. Price is not expensive. The restaurant is clear and cozy.

The coffee is one of the best around. The food is simple but delicious and well executed. Its refreshing to see a place that knows how to scramble and not overcook eggs. Ingredients seem fresh. Service is courteous and to the point. Small place so seating can be a challenge. Highly recommended ... after trying several times myself. Read more

The vibes were nice and it smelled amazing in there, I ordered the smoked salmon dish and felt that the eggs were under seasoned as it tasted a bit bland. The bread was lovely, as were the pickled onions and the actual smoked salmon! I think if they replaced their ... sauce with a dill option, the dish would be elevated. The home fries were ridiculously good, probably the best I’ve ever had Read more
