The Lost Boys Cafe is a small cafe at 45 Waterloo Street in Frankton, Hamilton, tucked away in the back streets of an industrial area. It has a 4.8 rating from 489 Google reviews. An earlier listing describes takeaway coffees, homemade pies, sweet treats and sandwiches, and reviewers say it is housed in a restored 1930s Shell service station. They praise the coffee, matcha, scones including jalapeño, vegan options, a cosy atmosphere and friendly staff who explain the food, and say coffees came out quickly.
A small cafe like this works on a short menu and fresh baking, so the cabinet is the best guide to what is good that day. Scones and pies are at their best earlier in the day, and popular items can sell out by afternoon. A cafe in an industrial area often serves workers at lunch, so mid-morning or mid-afternoon is quieter. If you have dietary needs, ask about vegan options, and for takeaway coffee, say how you like it. Check opening hours before you go, as small cafes may close early.
For coffee, a scone and a historic setting in Frankton, The Lost Boys is a charming local find.
