Nice coffee and read of my paper here today. Ricotta & blueberry muffin looked delicious...though I managed to resist it on this occasion. Easy free parking, friendly staff, loads of people enjoying breakfast & coffee.

Lovely little cafe in Carrington. Nice vibe with good coffee and food. Great little sun trap courtyard or you can sit inside or on the street to people watch. Had a good coffee and very good bacon and egg roll that happily came with an unexpected hash brown.

Fabulous little local cafe. Good coffee, and a bacon and egg roll exactly how you picture one (sorry there's no picture, I was too greedy and just ate it)

Went here because it was next door to where we stayed for a stopover in Newcastle. What a great little neighbourhood cafe! Service was great. The staff seemed genuinely happy to be there! And the coffee was delicious!!!

A small cafe in quiet peaceful surroundings, offering great coffee and pastries. Just my hot chocolate was a bit too sweet. The service was quick enough.
