Probably the best cafe you are going to try in the Nelson Bay area. So keeping that in mind this…read moreplace is busy - so either come at non-popular time, or be prepared to wait. Now, the coffee here is not great - but honestly the best cup in the area. But you don't really come here for the coffee, but rather the food. It is great! You have to love a place that has 8 different kinds of egg benny. You know a place is good, when you can't make up your mind of what to actual eat. Further, to make this place place even better all the workers here are really nice! Service is a bit slow, but that is only because it is extremely busy. But there are very nice and a smile goes a long way. So if you are in the Nelson Bay area, make sure you give this cafe a visit.

Great views and location overlooking Nelson Bay. The coffee is nice, though not too strong, and the…read morestaff is friendly and cheery. Nothing is too much trouble. Have a bo peep if you're in The Bay, you can't go too far wrong

Drive past most days for work and finally stopped by. Recommended to my mum days ago and she was…read moreback again today. Says the coffee is very good although I don't drink coffee so can't agree or disagree. Wait for food was longer than expected considering we were only 3 of the 4 customers there. Thickshake whilst a reasonable price of $6 and full chocolate flavour was a milkshake. Lots of places not getting this right of late! My mums lamb burger looked great and she loved it. Herb chips were crisp and well seasoned. My felafel wrap wasn't what I was expecting. I pictured patties or balls but this was thin and spread across the wrap. Tasted fine though and I enjoyed the pickles that came with. Bought a slice of chocolate baklava cheesecake to share at home with my partner. The slice was more than generous. I'm not big on cheesecake, nor is my partner or baklava but the combination is perfect. Not too sweet. Cheesecake balanced the often sickly syrup and the chocolate base and pieces completed the trio. One of their Easter treats that can be preordered but may be a staple on their menu now. Definitely get some of this! Flies were an issue with the open door and more than enough to be a nuisance.

My girlfriend brought me here as a surprise on a Saturday, as she comes here all the time. This is…read morea nice and cosy little café with beautiful warm decor that feels inviting. I love the lights here too, with those awesome looking incandescent bulbs I'm seeing more of. I didn't try the food, but the coffee was great. Full flavoured in either a long black or a latte. They do have a small selection of pastries and food which I'm assured are excellent. Is a little noisy from being on the main road, but an indoor seat sorts that out. Air conditioning helps with the heat too.

Will have to try lunch here but I know breakfast is a solid. Feb 2016: I walked up to the patio entrance and was welcomed as if I was here every Sunday! The place is pleasant inside and out and very comfortable. The menu has lots of options including making your own way. I chose the Plank. Yep I was definitely PLANKED for brekkie! Poached Scotch egg wrapped in mince lightly fried then baked! Along with potatoes several links and thick cut bacon. Plus fresh bread toast and butter. Topped off with a large Flat White! Great Sunday breakfast and a wonderful local spot for hanging out. Lots of families here and so relaxed! I got here a little before 0800 and by the time I left the place was getting really busy. Excellent. Enjoy!

Açaí Bowl was very good compared to Southern Californian Acai bowls. Presentation is excellent for the food, as well as with coffee. Music wise, this place is so upbeat it brings back early 2000s memories. You may see people bopping along in their seats (I certainly did!).

Delicious. Fantastic. Superb…read more Maybe a little overpriced, but good LORD the FOOD! It's just so GOOD! The Cubano was the best Cuban sandwich I've had outside of Florida. Take it from someone who lived in Tampa & ate Cuban sandwiches at LEAST once a week -- this place does them proper justice. The jalapeños are an inauthentic but totally welcome addition. The cheese is melted just right, the sandwich is pressed beautifully, & the mustard - it's just right; not too much or too little. My partner's chimmichurri steak was to die for. The thick slab of meat that any lesser cook would have undercooked or burnt was a PERFECT medium. & the relish... Delectable. I was torn between wanting to trade because it was that good, & not wanting to let him near my blissfully delicious sandwich. Well worth the price. Next time I find myself in Newcastle I know where I'm getting lunch.

Main eating areas inside and out, along with some quirky spots. I imagine the evening ambience to be quite nice.

The staff all seem fairly young, possibly uni kids who engage each other more than worrying about patrons. But they are nice non the less. The outside area is great for those who want a little something and have your dogs with you.
