Hungry Gannet - Hamilton

This is the best breakfast spot in the city. Their Scottish/English breakfast is a fantastic choice to start your day. The highlight for me was the lorne sausage—it’s simply delicious. Be sure to also try their special coffee; it’s really exceptional. The prices are incredibly low, but the space is quite small with just a few seats. During my visit, it was very busy, with around 5-7 people waiting for about an hour. The unique interior adds to the charm of the place.

This was my first visit, and I found the place to be clean with friendly staff. They offer a great selection of hot and cold rolls, sandwiches, and bowls, along with ice and other refreshments. I ordered breakfast and was pleased with the quality of the bacon rolls, which were crispy and light, as well as the quality of the black pudding and sausage. My only minor complaint is that they only accept cash (though there is an ATM just a few steps away), and it would have been nice to have a small napkin in the bag for someone like me who tends to be a bit messy when eating. Overall, I would definitely come back if I'm in the area again!

I ordered an incredibly generous double cheeseburger with a spicy mayo sauce, accompanied by deliciously large fries. And let me tell you, the coffee was fantastic! There were so many tempting food options on the menu; I had no idea they offered such a variety. There were cocktails, healthy eating options, and indulgent treats (I even saw a smoked breakfast on the menu!). Although we were too full to try more dishes, we decided to take home a pie (they were sold out when we arrived, but they kindly offered to reheat it for us). We also got a Jammie Dodger cake, which was amazing. I’m quite impressed with the quality of the food, the service, and the decor. The Hungry Gannet truly is an exceptional place! I’m already looking for reasons to return to Hamilton West. Honestly, if I could, I would give this little gem more than 5 stars!

Eating is absolutely fantastic (the French toast and club sandwiches are for dying) the staff is really friendly and they tend to be served very quickly even if they are busy. my only wish is that they would accept contactless or card payments, as I rarely bring cash and find a pain to lift cash to visit this place. the online ordering system seems to never be available. truth is that I would probably give this place much more business than I currently do if I could pay with card instead of money.

Food is amazing, so fresh and tasty, amazing prices. None left to take a picture. Queue was a bit long but that could be expected with how good the food is and didn’t take long to get served. Nice friendly staff.
