Markyle’s Coffee and Food

On Hamilton’s Hood Street, Markyle’s Coffee and Food is the sort of city gem locals whisper about. A café with a generous heart, it champions homemade food and barista-made coffee, crafted with fresh ingredients and care, and a reputation for great steaks.

Mornings might begin with banoffee pancakes: chocolate buttermilk rounds glossed with caramel, crowned with vanilla mascarpone and slices of brulee banana. Or lean into a classic with Markyle’s eggs Benedict, poached to a wobble with bacon or smoked salmon and a proper pour of hollandaise.

By midday, the kitchen turns to comfort done right. The catch of the day brings fried gurnard with butter caper sauce, a garden crunch and steak fries, while the open steak sandwich layers juicy beef, salad and a fried egg on toasted sourdough. To sip, think handscooped milkshakes, kefir-laced smoothies, and the steady hum of flat whites and mochas.

Set for celebrations big or small, Markyle’s pairs natural ingredients with passionate craft and award-winning service. Settle into the easy bustle indoors or take it outside; the team is happy to host special events, and whether you are raising a glass or simply refuelling, the welcome runs deep. Make a date with this Hood Street favourite and let the good times percolate.
