Not sure what really happened to this place... Used to be fantastic. Todays experience was aweful. None of the employees are masked, they messed up my drink which was fine. They remade it. Almost 40 minutes go past and I decide to check on my sandwich, it was sitting on the counter. (When I entered I saw the exact thing happen to a lady.) The food was not fresh and had maybe one slice of avocado on the whole wrap. I pulled out a weird piece of old onion πŸ˜₯ sad to see this place go down the drain...

A good old-fashioned coffeeshop, with a great eclectic decor and vintage ambiance. Certainly missed them during the height of the pandemic... Coffee drinks are well-made, and the selection and quality of the baked goods are superior -- must be home made. I especially love the scones and muffins. Have not been for lunch yet, but definitely will try. Prices are good, and the servers are friendly. One of the best coffeeshops around Oxford and Hamilton areas.

Good food options (breakfast, sandwiches and salads). The coffee is pretty good as well. More seating upstairs if it feels crowded. You can also reserve a room.

I have been visiting this coffee shop for many years. Over the last couple of months, I have had problems with inconsistencies with my drink orders and slow service. Today I ordered two dirty chai lattes. One clearly did not have espresso in it, while the other one did. I informed the staff that the drink tasted like a regular chai latte without espresso and asked if they made both drinks with espresso. They assured me that the drink was made with espresso and did not offer a remake.

Excellent coffee. The aroma is heavenly when you enter this kitschy old house turned into a coffee shop. The menu is small but then breakfast burrito in ordered was delicious. There is additional seating upstairs although the steps are steep

I try True West all the time and once again the coffee I get isnt what I ordered. My iced coffee has been hot for 20 mins now and has a weird, strong floral flavor. Anyway, the poor kid at the window is confused every time I order (I order one of their drinks that has a name which should be simple) so its never truly a surprise when I get a random coffee. I feel bad for him every time Im there tho and its not his fault - please train him.An extra star for a cool building.Response to TW: I ordered the iced raspberry truffle with oat milk. Tasted like I got a cup of bad floral perfume so I assume it had to be the wrong drink. Maybe my fault for not taking a sip before leaving - didnt want to hold up a line though.

The coffee sizes are pretty small which is a bummer, the coffee seems to be a mild roast. they have plenty of flavoring to add to your coffee also they have milk alternatives the food is very tasty. Drive-through workers are nice and easy to follow and understand.

Staff is always friendly, the facilities/shop are always clean, and the food and coffee is always delicious. I live in California, but when I come home I always make sure I stop here a time or two. Its very homey, and is hands down my favorite coffee place.

Review β„–18

This local coffee shop is an absolute gem in Hamilton. They have an extensive drink and food menu with a multitude of flavor options. Their coffee beans are local, coming from the wonderful Deeper Roots. The types of drinks that they serve range from classic to eclectic, Im sure anyone could find a drink here that they would enjoy. The interior is beautifully decorated with plenty of cozy places to sit and enjoy the view of the cute little plaza next door.

Always greeted by polite, articulate and personable young adults who always appear happy to wait on me. The food is exceptionally tasty with clever names. Great coffee flavors and tea selection are on the mark and reasonably priced for the quality of food.. Efficient (not fast food so dont be in a hurry but they are on it.) Walk upstairs and feel the comfortable and welcoming ambience combined with historic floors and fixtures. Great view from upstairs windows. Unassuming place to drop in. Then go across the street to Village Parlor for a Raspberry Cloud or old fashioned banana split. Yum❀

No place BETTER for anything surfing the net or playinr D&D in the room upstairs. No rent on the room. Much Updates to come. Yes there free wifi. They do have coffee to go they sell decorations they sell Hamilton memorabilia t-shirts true West coffee t-shirts. Most of the artwork is for sale I love it as an artist I love to go to admire the artistry. I know Ive talked to the assistant manager more than once and shes extremely helpful with the information regarding anything about the facility.

This is one of those small local coffee shops that reminds me of the one I used to frequent when I was in college. Its got a small but decent selection of food as well as a fine selection of both hot and cold drinks including non-caffeinated or child appropriate drinks. They were more than willing to accommodate our picky child and even suggest substitutions that he might like. Nice outdoor seating area, good covid precautions still in place (mask signs remain up, plexiglass at the ordering station, etc).

Good coffee but the wait is absolutely horrible. I thought chipotle on the west side had bad wait time. Boy was I wrong. You could have 1 car in front of you and youll be waiting 30+ minutes.

Review β„–35

It was a bit confusing when I first walked in because its not your typical cafe with a clear cut counter. Instead it looks like someones really chill home. The music and atmosphere were surprisingly pleasing. I ordered a cappuccino not expecting much from a place like this but, I was yet again surprised by how good the quality was. Although, there were only other patrons, the place was mellow enough for me to be comfortable by myself. I think I found my new favorite cafe!

True West Coffee is Hamiltons nice little secret. This cafΓ© gains all my adoration. As a coffee and Tea lover this place has a special place in my heart. I must recommend if you are unable to visit inside this quaint little house there is a nice tiny little drive thru. The coffees, services, and ambient are charming.

True West Coffee is truly a Hamilton gem. If you just want to get coffee, they have all sorts of flavor combos that are phenomenal. My personal favorite is the zebra! They also have delicious sandwiches and salads as well. The decor is super cute and they never disappoint! Definitely a must do place if youre exploring Hamilton!

Very cool neighborhood coffee shop with good coffee and service. Hamiltons lucky to have a place like this open and available. The Black Sheep Latte was delightful, but if youre not into heavy flavors, the drop coffee (Deeper Roots!) and regular offerings are always good. Cheers!

Tucked into downtown Hamilton is a misplaced coffee shop.True West.I grew up in Montana so I have some experience with the true west. But that really doesn’t matter. This cafe is DELIGHTFUL. The owner has decorated with old doors for tables and clearly has an eye for making places cozy.The coffee me was great and the sandwiches where very good.

They have very good coffee (had a regular, not specialty) and a big scone, which was also very good. They have seating on first and second floor. A popular place, as drive thru had 4 cars in line when we arrived, first floor seating was full and second floor was almost full (this was Saturday at noon).Will definitely be back!

Its a smaller place with up and downstairs and outdoor eating areas. The decor is pretty and the staff are very kind. The sandwiches there are great, and the milkshakes are unique and delicious. I personally recommend the Bada Bing sandwich and the Zebra milkshake, two absolutely amazing choices.

Good place to study. I particularly enjoy the $4 bottomless coffee which is a darn good cup. Booths upstairs have outlets! Its a well thought out coffee shop that reminds me of the dearly departed Noble Tree in Chicago.I like that there is a range of seating options because being too comfy makes it harder for me to focus.

True West is a great local place to get coffee and a bite to eat. They have everything from tasty lattes to the smoothest pour over coffee around. Its a great place to support a fantastic local business, enjoy great atmosphere, and get to know our community a little bit better.I just recently tried their food options and the sandwiches are really good. Try the George Bailey and you wont regret it!

Great iced chai. I get it every time. I love this place, it’s so cute and welcoming. There’s couches and tables so it’s a great place (way better than any other coffee shop) to work, study, hang out with friends or go on a date. I come with my friend sometimes and we always have fun. If you have a chance, totally go. It’s the best thing to do in downtown Hamilton and it’s right down the street from a puppy store (where you can see puppies though the windows!) and a used vinyl store. Very great place, highly recommend. Just wish it didn’t close at 8.

True West has tasty food and delicious drinks. The atmosphere is eclectic and offers games to play while you are there. There are two floors and different areas to hang out in, or to study, read, chat with a friend etc. They do have restrooms and high chairs.They also have a meeting room that you can book for no charge. We meet there once a month with my book club, the room can fit about 12 comfortable, with room for a few more for a tighter squeeze.Depending on their staffing food and drinks some times take a while to make it to you.Prices are on the higher end but on par with Starbucks, I generally spend $10 for a drink and a muffin or sandwich.

The coffee was good and the baristas were nice, but we had reserved their private room and they double booked us. Also, I ordered one latte, and the family behind me ordered a coffee, a latte, and two steamers and got their order before me (by several minutes). My friend also waited an excessive amount of time for her drink.

Review β„–100

When I’m not around True West, I have to settle for a chain that doesn’t offer the same level or service or quality. Last night I was able to run in for an amazing cup of coffee and it was like manna from the heaven. There is a HUGE difference between the stuff that’s been sitting on a chain store’s shelf for months and this stuff. It doesn’t taste tinny or stale, ever. If you haven’t tried it, you don’t know what you’re missing.(By the way, I got a 16oz coffee with a shot of espresso for much cheaper than Starbucks. It’s a great deal.)
