Rolador Cafe opened its doors in Hamilton at 7am on Monday under new ownership and management, a welcome return for a name that carries fond memories for residents, commuters and coffee lovers.
The cafe, at the same location as the former business of the same name, 1 Beaumont Street, adjacent to Hamilton train station, will be managed by Emma Smith, pictured.
Rolador will be using Grinders Coffee with a wide range of offerings.
Smith said the cafe, featuring a prominent roller door service window, will be open from 5.30am to 4pm on weekdays and Saturday.
The cafe operated at the site for more than a decade, before closing on December 16, 2018. News of the closure prompted a wave of messages of love, support and sadness on social media at the time.
The then owners said they were closing the business with plans to start a new adventure in Sydney after they were not offered a new long-term lease.
