    Great view, over priced, bad service. Coffee was bitter and I chose to leave it and people-watch instead of finishing it. You're better grabbing a coffee from somewhere else and going for a walk on the beach instead.

    Nice view, a little bit noisy next to the road but good coffee

    Was at this cafe yesterday afternoon. I was surprised to say the least. My espresso was well made: balanced complexity left a synergistic coffee; not too acidic, bitter or sweet. I didn't ask about their coffee supplier, but it was good coffee to say the least.

    I had some scrambled... Read more

    Awesome atmosphere, right opposite beach. The coffee promised goodness, single origin on offer - Sidamo but was not amazing. It was too hot and too big. Improved on cooling down.

    Sipping on my coffee while waiting for my breakfast to come, coffee is great, think I'll have to order another with my breakfast.. Very popular cafe on a perfect sunny day over looking Newcastle beach.

    It's always the place that aren't really noticed that have the best coffee, service and atmosphere. When I went in knowone was in there so I got my order in a flash. I have been many times since and love it there.

    One of my favorites, the staff are efficient and friendly and the coffee is reliable even in peak hour. I won't even start on the atmosphere and the view... phwoar

    ehh not so good coffee
    staled beans (or ground not sure)
    they use exactly the same rigs as single origin in surry hills so the problem lies to the one behind those gears

    I never try single origin's house blend though

    nice atmosphere swarm by local all the time... Read more

    Nice coffee although i think the cups to big for it as i like strong coffee and always have a double shot, this would need a 3rd shot for make it to my strength, great selection of gelato tho and great views of newcastle beach

    Awesome coffee and the girls are not, friendly and keen to serve. Meals small and lack that extra touch yet a homely and good. Small space not suited to groups. A couple on iPads etc when I was in there. Ill be back

    Absolute best location for coffee in Newcastle. Food is good. Coffee is average. If they could churn out great coffee I would move into to the joint.

    My favourite place in Newcastle to just sit and take in the views and the atmosphere. Coffee is delish. Staff are the friendliest in town. Exceptional spot.

    This is a great little place for half okay coffee. They kind of have a clue as to the coffee world but fall short with a bitter edge of inconsistency.

    I suppose for the time they spend making my coffee, the final result is lacking.

    Likewise for the rich quality of the... Read more

    Cute little cafe. Keeps things simple but does it well. Coffee consistently good. Great atmosphere (right across the road from Newcastle beach) and tasty gelato as an extra treat

    Got some time to read a book or just gaze out over Newcastle beach, this is a great place to do it. Always buzzing and usually fast turnover of patrons means you'll find a seat soon enough. Food is good, coffee is good, staff are relaxed and friendly.

    Great location, great service and great coffee and food. Always has plenty of customers which shows that it is good value for money. Staff know what their customers want and deliver it. One occasion forgot my order but they gave me coffee on house for that so overall faultless realy
