The Brookwood Cafe

Quaint Cafe. The food was very good hot and fast service. We had breakfast the staff was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is very clean. Reminds me of an old school diner feel. We both ordered from the winter special menu I had the chicken and waffles without honey which was very good. My wife had x Benedict on ry toast. It was very good. Breakfast potatoes were just plain which is exactly how I like them. Well cooked. Definitely would return for a good quick breakfast

Jeff I told you that you would be hearing from me about the Pastrami Reuben. Open face and LOADED. Honestly would be the BEST I’ve ever had. I was very appeased seeing that it was a Pastrami sandwich instead of the classic corned beef. Paired with the sauerkraut and Russian dressing it was SPLENDID. I see how you run your establishment and how dedicated you are. You have my respect. All the servers were so sweet too. I will be back for the sandwich as well as coffee, pancakes, desserts and pastries! I see why the parking lot is packed, this cafe is high quality!!

Brookwood Cafe, Hamilton - A Mixed Experience

My recent visit to Brookwood Cafe in Hamilton left me with a somewhat middling impression. Opting for the Venetian Omelet, accompanied by potatoes, rye toast and orange juice and a fruitcup, I was hoping for a standout breakfast experience, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations.
The Venetian Omelet, while sounding promising on the menu, was, to put it mildly, underwhelming. The flavors simply didn't come together as I had hoped, and I've certainly enjoyed more flavorful and well-executed omelets elsewhere. It lacked that certain something that elevates a dish from ordinary to memorable. The accompanying potatoes were likewise unremarkable, neither adding nor detracting significantly from the meal. As for the orange juice, it was perfectly acceptable, but again, nothing to write home about. In sum, the food provided a functional rather than an enjoyable start to the day.
On the positive side, the service was "ok," meaning it was neither exceptional nor particularly poor. The staff were present and did what was required, but there was no extra touch of warmth or attentiveness that makes a dining experience truly pleasant.
In conclusion, while Brookwood Cafe in Hamilton offers a casual dining option, my experience with the Venetian Omelet and overall service suggests there's room for improvement. For those seeking a truly memorable breakfast, you might find yourself saying, as I did, "I've had better." Perhaps other menu items offer a more compelling reason to visit.

I have passed by Brookwood Cafe many times. I kept saying I have to go there one day. After going I am sorry I hadn’t gone sooner. While it’s unassuming atmosphere inside there is nothing unassuming about the food and the incredible service. This is a breakfast and lunch Cafe. They have a great menu of breakfast to choose from as well as lunch. The portions of the food are sizable and the quality delicious. What stuck me the most was the incredible attention to the customers. I notice through the entire Cafe (which was packed) the detail of service being given to each and everyone that was there. Customer Service and great food is the perfect combo for a repeat customer like myself. Well done 👍

Mom and pop diner/luncheonette with Lacas coffee and affordable food. If you're looking for fancy food, this isn't the right spot for you. If you're looking for simple breakfast and lunch food, friendly people, and reasonable prices, I highly recommend it.
Tip: Save money by paying cash. The credit card surcharge (3.5%) is a clear line item on the bill.
