Looked like an old, heritage cafรฉ that's been serving customers since generations, thats what attracted me but Coffee? Pretty average. Customer service? Trash, didn't welcome, no smile, no thankyou after I payed. Coming from a customer service background these seemingly trivial engagements are pretty important, Cafรฉ wasn't too busy to ignore customer servive. Felt unwelcomed so probably never visiting again.
Disappointing experience. Good Brother was recommended to us for both coffee and lunch, but unfortunately, our visit did not meet expectations. The coffee was served lukewarm, and the walnut and raisin toast I ordered consisted of only two and a half very thin slicesโeach less than a centimetre thickโwith a small amount of butter. Given the price, it did not represent good value. Regrettably, we will not be returning and would not feel comfortable recommending it to others.
Smallish hipster joint for good coffee and food. Stopped in on an unusually cold Newcastle morning, while the outdoor tables looked nice to sit on, inside was calling to keep warm. The menu had a good selection on offer, think granola, bagels, toasted sandwiches. Visited on a Sunday and they didn't have the special of the week available which I had seen on their instagram. Nonetheless the ham and cheese toastie was good. Giving 4 out of 5 stars, a couple of things they could do better: Menu availability - my first two options they had run out of (special of the week and the chicken toastie), and then the person who brought out the food didn't bring any cutlery - we had to get it ourselves.
Rainy Saturday morningโฆ I spilled some water on the table and the lovely tablelady came and cleaned it up for us. She warmed our soggy hearts with her warm smile and awesome coffee! Toast was phenomenal. 5 stars.
Early Friday morning breakfast, after 6am flight from Melbourne. Interesting menu, coffee was okay, fruit bread good, cereal good, avocado on toast was different, lacking presentation, butter was too hard to spread, wouldn't say it was the best avocado & toast we have had.
