Walking into Bank Corner Cafe was like walking on to the set of Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, or…read morewhat I imagine it may have been like. It's moody, 1920s Paris or Casablanca vibes subtly weaving throughout this small corner cafe with art-deco courtyard. 3 stars only because we stopped for a quick drink, a cookie and didn't, on this visit, have chance to truly experience all the Bank Corner Cafe had to offer. Still, it's up there in one of my top picks for Newcastle.

I'm a local. This is my most favourite cafe in town. The food is simple but superb, the coffee…read morefantastic, the staff friendly, the vibe of the place laid back with class. They do a strong chai tea, different to elsewhere (more gingery perhaps?). Love eating on the street in the sunshine with hardly any cars passing by - mostly just people. You can also eat out back in the courtyard. Art Deco/Art Nouveau interior is unique for Newcastle too.

The service was excellent after making a mistake with my order rectified without fuss. Lovely staff with a positive vibe and smiles. There's a service checkout for those who dislike interacting, or the cashier is busy. The coffee is a top-notch blend. Mmmmm!! I had the berry Acai bowl, which is recommended. So much so I'm coming back.Well, a well-styled little cafe with a good bench for people watching out the front.

We had a great chat about the merits of their decaffeinated coffee. Yes, decaf! It's really really good, minus the buzz of course. Their beans are also well worth buying by the bag, and we regularly purchase from here. I haven't eaten here yet, but that's next on the list of things. Check out our next time you're in Hamilton.

With 3pm looming and my Entertainment Book in hand we ventured in town and stopped at one of the 3 Snows in the region. My partner and I both ordered a toastie; pesto chicken and corned beef. At $14 each with no idea of the portion size or anything served on the side I decided to splurge and get a chocolate torte to share as well. The toasties however did not skimp on the fillings and the serving was more than generous. The chocolate torte was a little dry and would benefit from being heated but it still hit the sweet spot it was meant to. A small chocolate thick shake for me and coffee for him as well. Pies and sausage rolls were scarce due to it approaching closing but there was still plenty on the menu to choose from. A great little spot in the Marketown shopping centre which I'd happily eat at again.

First of all... I…read morelove the fact that people would often refer to this cafe as a "milk bar" (do you really hear cafes being referred to as such these days?). The place has a nice atmosphere and does not have the typical cafe vibe. They have a wide variety of food to choose from - from breakfast to dinner. I ordered a standard toast with chunks (not as a spread) of avocado, feta cheese and coreander. Then for lunch I ordered a soft shell crab burger which was super delicious! You won't hear many cafes that would sell anything like this (not that I can recall anyway). My colleagues have ordered steak burgers here and they absolutely loved it. There are 2 coffee section - the smaller one being referred to as "The Quickie" (ideal for those who come in to order coffee only) while the other one is situated in "The Parlor" (where meals are actually served). There is also a variety of Gelato flavours to choose from - also from The Parlor. The staff are friendly and are dressed in flannel shirts and jeans. Yes. This is their uniform. I will say that this is definitely one of the very best cafes I've ever been in. Many things pertaining to this place is novelty! In my opinion anyway...

It's one thing to be scruffy and wear Hawaiian shirts with boardies for a uniform, it's another to carry yourself in kind. It's not that the service isn't friendly, it is. It's just that every time someone serves me there I get a bit grossed out. I've been there five times. So far I'm yet to experience an interaction with the counter staff that doesn't involve: a finger in the ear, putting receipts in mouth (then pulling them out and providing to customer), sucking on napkins (pulling the wet part out of mouth, then touching customer food), mixing cash handling with food and drink prep. Eww guys. The music is too loud to carry a conversation without raised voices. Both of these issues are easily fixed, and overall this is a nice establishment. I'd be back if these things were taken care of. The good intent to create customer experience is obvious.
