Ark + Anchor Espresso Bar

Great coffee and very friendly service. Loved it!

Good coffee and pastries, friendly service and a chill atmosphere. The upstairs seating area is bright and roomy. Great place to sit and work or chat. My favourite cafe in the city.

Love this Ark + Anchor! The new food menu is a must-try. I could have lunch here every day :)

Best coffee in Hamilton. Great atmosphere to work, read, chat.

Great coffee shop to get work done. Good coffee, lot of light, accessible outlets, and a large, quiet, upper floor.

Finally visited for the first time this week and kicking myself I hadn’t done so sooner. Adorable cafe with ample seating. Clean and bright setting with amazing coffee and non dairy options. The food looks fantastic - will definitely be trying on next visit.

Had a great experience, loved the ambiance upstairs, and our coffee was also tasty! We ordered the bowls (danis oats and oat risotto) risotto could’ve used a bit more salt or something with a little more flavor but overall everything was good.

Love the atmosphere! Great coffee. There is a 2nd floor with lots of space. I'd recommend this spot if you need a place to write or have a small meeting.

new to the area and someone recommended Ark+Anchor for studying. Coffee was amazing, food was delicious and staff are super friendly. Best place for studying!

Had a good experience at the Anchor..had jambolaya that is served with pasta here but the staff was more than glad to serve it up with rice for us. Service was top notch and has a nice place to dine..have a drink or see live entertainment.

Nice little exspresso and coffee shop. Popular with students.

Nice coffee. Unique coffee ordering system, all by increments of 2 ounces. Lots of space. Free wifi. Good music. Friendly staff. Books to read.

Staff was amazing, so kind and helpful. A great place to do work quiet and fast wifi.

Ark and Anchor is perhaps the best espresso Cafe in North America. Their cappuccinos and lattes are perfectly poured. Their beans are delicious with only mild acidity. The venue is perfect for study, with a brightly lit, open, and quiet upper floor with free wifi. I've had cappuccinos all over the continent (Seattle, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal etc), and this place is perhaps the best, and even gives Italian espresso a run for its money. If you are looking for diary free options, look no further. The pour is incredible, I've never seen diary free latte look and taste as good as cows milk. The barista has a real gift. Update: It's winter time. One negative is that upstairs needs to be warmer and brighter. It feels a little cold. Adding more lights or switching to warm colour lighting (3k kelvin) could help, along with turning up the heat!

This was my first time here. The service was good and the staff were friendly. The atmosphere is nice, bright, and airy. I had an espresso which was nice and strong.
