Ark + Anchor Espresso Bar

Cute local cafe with lots of space for work upstairs.

Came in for the 1st time today with a friend
Was busy when we cane in, but a very nixe, cozy place, super friendly guys working today (around noon today).
Will be back

Great atmosphere! Fantastic lil treats! And the service is always perfect! Love my little chats with whoever is working!!

Lovely place to enjoy a lunch or coffee. The upstairs area is perfect for studying or getting some work done. Almost every table has an outlet or powerbar so you can plug in your laptop. Staff are friendly and love what they do.

Loved the drinks, pastries, and food. Was looking to dine in but people with laptops were taking up all the tables Why does 1 person need a table for 6? Should at least find room for a paying customer to eat

Had a lovely experience here working for a couple of hours. The second floor offers plenty of space to hang out, work, or read. Their is free wifi but unfortunately not a lot of outlets as the building is quite old. I would have stayed longer but there was no where for me to charge.

The servers were friendly and will bring your order to you upstairs. I enjoyed a warm scone and the coffee (just black) was one of the best I’ve had downtown Hamilton. ☕️

Will definitely be back!

I’ve come here a couple of times to study and I’ve found the atmosphere very relaxing. It also helps to see other people working! The food and beverages are good and I especially appreciate the “stay and study”( I think that’s what it’s called!) option which gives you two drip coffees and toast for $7. The staff if generally friendly and helpful. The music is great, the book shelf adds to the ambiance and on sunny days, the entire place is beautifully lit up! The only thing I’d want to caution against is that the seating is limited and usually the place seems fairly packed (which also says a lot about how popular it is!).

Loved the cafe vibes!!

Great space upstairs to work in groups or alone, to relax and read a book. Loved that they had a book case available for customers to read from

The beverages and food are fairly priced given that it is made with great quality.

Would 100% visit again for another study session
