There’s a mix of communal seating and smaller tables and it attracts trendy groups of young friends and older couples alike. Staff are very friendly and happy to help, but just need to be a little more vigilant when it’s busy. Coffee is light and smooth, it’s too easy to drink and you’ll find yourself quickly ordering a second. We’ve visited several times. The first time I opted for a sweet breakfast, choosing the French Toast. The gianduja sauce was divine, and the real hero of the dish. The portion of french toast was generous and well cooked. I’m pleased to see they have now changed the menu to remove the pumpkin puree from this dish, replacing it (I think) with a marmalade curd. The pumpkin brought nothing to the dish and was completely drowned out by that glorious chocolate sauce. This time I chose a savoury breakfast, the eggplant rollatini. My friend chose the avocado mash. Both were gorgeous, the ingredients balanced well, and flavours were delicious.Overall a great brunch venue. I find the restaurants and cafes around this area tend to lift their game, trying to be a little “fancy” – possibly as a result of nearby Attica, but its nice to see that in the several months we’ve been visiting, Hawk and Hunter are finding their niche with nice, but not overly complicated food.

Just amazing! Great food. Great service and very doggy friendly. We will definitely be back! read more Just amazing! Great food. Great service and very doggy friendly. We will definitely be back!

A great breakfast spot with vegan options, this will be a favourite spot for us.
