Three Bean Espresso
My favourite place for a coffee in Newcastle. The regulars know why. Skilled baristas grind Peaberry’s Organic coffee and serve it with the right amount of strength, texture and flair.
Three Bean is becoming an institution in Newcastle. Their coffee is fantastic, with a laid back and friendly atmosphere - it can be a little difficult to get a table on a busy morning, but it’s worth the wait if you’re a sit-down-and-drink type of person.
This is by far my favourite café, period. Their coffee never fails to be a rich blend of awesome, and the food nothing short of an art form.
Their Eggs Benedict is the best I’ve had anywhere in the world - and I make a point of trying it in every city I go to in the western world, and it should be no wonder with locally sourced ingredients including Morpeth Sourdough, and in house hollandaise.
And then, their baristas - you’ll have to experience work of art yourself because this review box isn’t big enough to fit all the good words that describe their coffee.

Coffees were great. Service was fast friendly and attentive. The collecter spoons with chocolate coated coffee veena was a nice touch.
The Mexican themed breakfast foods were top notch.

Salawi has very tasty coffee, lots of cool fair trade products to browse, a laid back atmosphere and a friendly owner. Oh, and a cute border collie pottering around.

Soho on Darby
171 Darby St, Cooks Hill New South Wales 2300, Australia
An underwhelming experience. Grinders beans are usually safe, but this latte was served weak and warm. A hint of bitterness suggested over-extraction. They need to lift their game to compete in Newcastle’s coffee precinct.
