I was given a great strong latte and a very tasty long black with a whole level of flavours. Tucked in behind a one of the main roads in Newcastle it's nice to know I can sneak in here on my way to somewhere and get a really great coffee.

Excellent and consistent coffee. Friendly service from a great team. Strongly recommended.read more

A local food page admin has been singing the praises of this cafe and after finally trying myself I…read morecan happily agree. It's the complete package. Good food, tick. Casual atmosphere, tick. Water views and walking track out the front, tick tick. Its odd position; behind a row of townhouses by Throsby Creek, makes it a bit secretive but they are thriving. This is Newcastle to me. My veg wrap for lunch was filling with the option to add chips if you're extra hungry. Stuffed with pumpkin, mushrooms and haloumi. My partner and I disagreed on his chilli prawn linguine. He was reaching for water after the first bite with me thinking the level of heat was just right. Chilli aside, we agreed it was delicious. Breakfast 8-12pm. Lunch 12-3pm. Dinner Friday and Saturday 6-9pm. No split bills. 10% surcharge on Sundays and public holidays. 25% off using the 2018/19 Entertainment Book.

Also has a lunch specials selection of five or so dishes. The staff are friendly and the food served promptly. For $51.10 we ordered two cokes, wedges with sour cream and sweet chilli, the seafood crepe special and chipolata sausage special. Seems reasonably priced with a nice view of the lake across the road.

Normally paired with negative…read moreconnotation, the laid back vibe of this Cooks Hill cafe make it the perfect partner to the tree-and-terrace lined streets that surround it. The customers are a blend of bare-footed surfer dudes and suited 9-5ers. A short walk from the hip Darby Street, Welsh Blacks offers a different pace and a haven for those who enjoy the art of coffee. Just as their business card says, these guys are "coffeesmiths." It's their trade. They're not young upstarts paying their way through uni. This is their full-time jam and it shows. The food menu is sparse and that I'm sure is a deliberate act. There's a few cakes and slices, two toasties, a salad and a chia pudding to select from. Most sit under the $10 mark. Unfortunately the morning I arrived their grinder wasn't playing fair. They were so apologetic to customers as they explained there was up to a 15 minute wait while they took stock of the situation. While it eventually was up and running I'm aware it may have altered their brews for the day and in this case I say, "Great marketing fair chaps!" because it's this reason (also the fact they're super cool and it's a chilled vibe) I'll be returning to enjoy more of their coffee menu.

Good value and only a little more expensive than the standard pie range (which is also quite good). Lots of other products apart from pies including cakes, sandwiches, rolls and the normal cafe stuff. Nicely renovated seating areas indoors and out. The outside section at the back is quiet and relaxing. Coffee is good but not top notch. As this review is more about the pies, I still rate it 5 stars.
