We have moved North-West to Mayfield — but as we go we wanted to share some of the amazing cafes, bars and restaurants that have kept us going during the past four years.
Xtraction Espresso
2/38 Bolton St, Newcastle
Best Coffee in Newcastle hands down! Along with this the staff are some of the friendliest you will find in Newcastle. These guys are currently expanding the cafe which we are sad we’ll miss so be sure to support them once it opens.

The Residency Kitchen
43 Bolton St, Newcastle
A newer cafe in town who recently took over from the previous Persian Palace — they have some great coffee and a delicious felafel wrap.

Scotties
36 Scott Street, Newcastle
Great for a sneaky beer and fish burrito at lunch time when you need to get just that bit further away from the office.

Customs
1 Bond Street, Newcastle
When you’ve craving something just a little bit more fancy, Customs is a great place to head for lunch. Grab a table on their back verrandah and watch the ships go by for a long Friday lunch with their delicious house sparkling.
