"Smallish hipster joint for good coffee and food. Stopped in on an unusually cold Newcastle morning — inside was calling to keep warm. Really enjoyed it."

"Early Friday morning breakfast after a 6am flight from Melbourne. Interesting menu, coffee was okay, fruit bread good, cereal good. Always nice to find an early-morning spot in Newcastle."
