The Crossing Art Gallery Cafe

Absolutely adore this set up! I spotted the gallery and coffee, sign driving past and on the way back planned to pull in. So glad I did. It’s dog friendly and kid friendly (with supervision obviously) due the beautiful art pieces. This place has unique and nostalgic decor and holds a pleasant homestead feel. It’s a great place with lovely personable staff. My Decaf Coffee was great, dessert was divine; simple and delicious (Caramilk slice yes caramilk so good) Very happy with our visit if only I lived closer this spot would be my regular. If you ever drive through here or even just plan a trip out to the vineyards I would highly recommend a pit stop and reset here!

A hidden gem in Kearsley! Stumbled upon this lovely little café during a weekend trip to Cessnock and what a find! The coffee here is absolutely top-notch — rich, smooth, and easily one of the best I’ve had in a while, and the setting is so charming and unique. The cafe is part art gallery, part local history hub — filled with character, vintage pieces, and stunning artwork. It feels like you’re stepping into a storybook corner of the Hunter Valley. Special mention to Tony, the owner — super friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about the place. There’s a beautiful outdoor area too, with plenty of space to relax (and even a giant swing!). If you’re after great coffee, a relaxed vibe, and a place with soul — definitely stop here!

Makes great coffee old rustic building with historical stuff the owner makes a mean coffee and is very friendly

My wife and I stopped there for a cafe. We were surprised how interesting and historically rich this place is. The coffee was great, the service was very good... But the best asset this cafe has is its proprietor... He is a gem.

Just wow my wife and kids really enjoyed this place very comfortable atmosphere even eaching the kids about the old machines and tools was amazing they can't believe how we all grew up and sorry as for the service and coffee it was even better this single handed man did it all by himself thanks heaps mate 👍 taste of coffee ☕ amazing and the banana 🍌 bread 🍞 amazing 👏 we will always come back when we can ☺
