The FOH staff while pleasant could be more confident. There was an air of confusion and chaos when there didn't need to be, they needed to relax a little... Living a little, one of us had the unusual prawn toast and the other a more predictable avocado toast. Both dishes were beautifully presented and outstanding flavors. Significant food envy was had over the prawn toast, a mix of Thai flavors that were both exotic and light. A busy cafe with great food, we highly recommend.

Well, that is basically what I decided to do the morning before leaving Newcastle. I guess it had something to do with it looking like one of those nice inner city cafes I tend to like. Well, it was, but not really a place that seriously grabbed my imagination. Actually, a part of me felt that it was a little dull, though the benedict was nice, as was the service, so I can't really fault that.

This combination of interior designing along with the immensely well designed cafe adjoining to it…read moreis one of the brilliant designs used in this building. The cafe is very open source, there are three walls, and an entire open hole where a wall would be, opening out to a stunning outside eating area. They have a large food variety, ranging from sweet to savoury, and the drinks range even large, from hot chocolates to ginger beer to kombucha. The hot chocolate is not too hot, and is the perfect temperature for sipping, the coffee is incredible, is very accustomed to ones taste. If you want creamy, you get creamy. You want bitter, you get bitter. The coffee is flipping amazing. The drinks were delivered in under 5 minutes and were delicious. The drinks, food and location of the entire place is stunning and amazing. Definitely a place I'd recommend.

It was very difficult to remove the tails and heads and there was no other dish or plate to put them in. No finger bowl or paper serviette to clean fingers after the operation. Sauce had no flavour. The chips were lukewarm so weren't eaten. I have dined here many times over the years but the standard has dropped and the prices have risen. Great location but the food needs attention. However, the staff were very helpful.

Not knowing how big the portions were we ordered the breakfast wrap, double bacon and egg roll AND chips with aioli. Hunger was well and truly busted to the point we could have had a third person with us to eat half my partners wrap and share the chips. The wrap was massive!! It is order and pay at counter which can make the space tight when the line forms but it is cleared almost as quickly. I will definitely be back.

But you put up with it for the burgers. The buns are a sweet brioche, and not everyone likes them, but I think they're amazing. The soft serve flavour changes (currently Nutella) and they sometimes have more expensive specialty burgers. Tonight I had the Merewether burger (pulled pork) and it was delish. It's casual, it's cheap and there's plenty of seating. Even my vego housemate says their vegetarian burgers are amazing.
