5 Fresh flaky croissant and smooth creamy coffee with lovely latte art. Great spot for a relaxed breakfast.
5 Love it here!! Best coffee. I will forever come in for the coeliac safe gluten free avo toast (best gf bread!!), yummy gf cakes and incredible coffee.. and stay for the fun vibe, banter and people watching along Hunter Street.
5 Banana bread too feed a family of 4. Was so impressed by the portion size of Banana bread + super super strong coffee for only $12. I felt walking out door was going to charge for shop lifting. Post photo really tasty.
4 Cool looking newish cafe with a definite potential to grow in popularity. My friends short black was lacking intensity she said. But I was treated to a yummy batch brew which was great for someone who value e s an easy start to the day without the powerful intensity if a short black. The menu includes some interesting new terms so I'll be back to try those. I guess that's the point behind "new slang"
5 Quite a lovely atmosphere with terrific customer service! Even when I was one of those annoying customers who changes their minds at the last minute, the staff accommodated me and were so friendly! The food here is actually really nice, bread used for the toasties is much better quality and around the same price as the bread you'd find elsewhere, better crunch and not soggy. I also recommend the brownie 100% Coffee was sub par to be perfectly honest, but not terrible and would love to try again! Tldr, good food, decent coffee, lovely staff, great pricing!
5 Fantastic coffee Stopped in for coffee and found my new favourite place in Newy for a brew. They stock an array of treats to dine in or takeaway. Brunch menu looks yummy. Clean toilet facilities available for both dine in and takeaway customers. Super friendly staff.
5 The chicken toastie is delicious! It’s a nice place to grab something to eat that’s less than $20. Service was lovely and attentive. There’s indoor and outdoor seating. It’s a small menu but great for a coffee shop. There are a few hot lunch options as well as sweet treats in the cabinet.
Customers often enjoy the cappuccino, artichoke toastie, and gluten-free avocado toast, along with large portions of banana bread and fresh croissants.
Both options work well here, whether you're after a quick coffee and snack or a cozy, sit-down brunch or lunch.
