I have been going here many times and I have always received the best service you can possibly get they make you feel a very special customer . Food is made with care and attention to detail and tastes just as good as it looks. Place is very clean and has a very good atmosphere. I’m not an easy person to please specially when it comes to service attitude but this place ticks all the boxes. Look at the picture of what I had for breakfast this morning, everything I love was on that plate. 😋🤤 👍👍👍👍👍
Best brunch ever!! A wonderful experience. The meal was amazingly delicious with lots of variety. The potatoes were crisp outside and soft in the middle, the fritter was tasty, the eggs were cooked perfectly and the sauce was delectable. The coffee was rich and tasty. Fantastic friendly and prompt service. A vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. Definitely the best brunch I have ever had.
Great coffee and seriously good toasties. The coffee is smooth, rich, and clearly made with care.perfect whether you’re grabbing a quick cup or sitting down to enjoy it. The herbie genie toasties are golden, crispy on the outside, and packed with flavour on the inside. Simple comfort food done right. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back
The breakfast was so good! Supper yummy, creamy scrambled eggs, feta, spicy enough to taste amazing, served on separate plates - we said we share. There is music playing to add to the atmosphere: something chill and viby 😍 we enjoyed every millisecond spent there and didn't want to leave.
Always consistently good coffee.... Good selection of snacks & meals, the ones my wife & I had on the day were very yummy! The cafe has lots of seating outside & inside which has a great rustic vibe going on! Highly recommend a visit if you're in downtown Newcastle anytime! 👍
Delicious coffee, great service and even better food. The staff are fantastic. Recommended.
Popped over to this place across the street from our hotel. Had walked past it for a few days before deciding it was time to visit. We enjoyed two of the daily specials - pork belly scramble and buffalo chicken benny. For my visit so far, the benny has been my best meal and we’ve had some good food. Flavor was amazing and serving size was generous with two poached eggs. Great drinks and smoothies.
Cool little place with great coffee! But what is better than the coffee? The food! I have had my fair share of shakshuka bowls and this was hands down the best I have had. Great serving size, amazing taste and perfect for a cold morning. Do yourself a favour and get this meal.
Brunch for 3. Ordered the Big Breakfast, pancakes and extra scrambled eggs on toast. Wait time was slightly longer than expected but the food was delicious! Friendly servers and cute atmosphere. Definitely will stop by again on our next Newcastle road trip.
Breakfast burrito: First time back in Newcastle after 3 months and this was the first stop for me after having it once earlier this year. Quite literally the perfect breakfast burrito, soft scrambled eggs, beautiful chorizo, hearty bacon, melted cheese, fresh guacamole with pico de gallo served on top is the perfect addition to this warm beauty. I opted out the chipotle aioli for sriracha, a bit of spice and a nicer addition in my opinion, beautiful light and perfectly toasted wrap served cut in half for easy eating. This is not influenced, i’m just passionate about burritos 😂 10/10 Black cold brew: 10/10, nice after taste, smooth as butter. Service: Always very welcoming, very quick and can feel they value every customer that decides to dine here.
