Chatterbox Cafe is one of the City of Hamilton’s most consistently crowded lunch spots, with big voyeuristic front windows that allow peek-a-boo views of the passersby outside. The Cafe serves hundreds of office workers every day. The most popular choices are pastries, sandwiches, and endless cups of tea and very good coffee, and the platters of the day are full meals in themselves. Depending on what’s available at the market, daily specials might include lasagna with a side salad, savory breast of chicken with greens, or a platter of “deep-fried rice” with minced beef or pork.
