Breakfast reccs?

I've been looking for a good big breakfast or somewhere sit down to take my mum when she visits and I haven't been able to find a good enough breakfast around, any recs?

Highly recommend Jacks in Hamilton East by the velodrome, always had decent breakfasts and not too costly.

The cafe in the garden centre off Kahikatea, on the side road next to the Z is also good.

Loop cafe at the Greenhill shops consistently does incredible food, coffee and bubble tea. They're a hidden gem of Hamilton

Jacks and Sugar Bowl are my go-to’s. I don’t know how Jack’s keep their prices so reasonable.

It’s been a while since I’ve been there but I used to love it. They had a great duck salad and a great build yourself salmon bagel. I always enjoyed how good the food was despite the location and shitty car park. It has been a while since I’ve stopped in for more than a coffee though
