Zinc on Darby
Mugachino and flat white were made ‘strong’ and we enjoyed them. A pretty good crema and quite warm enough
Good smooth flat white. Could have been a touch hotter for my personal mouth-burning preference. Solid without being spectacular. Service was a little tardy, but it was a customer frothing Sunday morning.
Peaberry’s coffee served up with a bit of flair, but lacking texture through to the end. Coffee had good body, flavour and was the right temperature. Attentive staff, and big servings of pretty decent breakfast.
Didn’t have a second coffee this time, but would go back again.

Stuffy atmosphere, poor cramped layout and the coffee is not as good as other places on the same strip. Give it a miss.

Campos coffee. When you ask for a large they give you a bowl. The soy milk isn’t burned. All good.

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.

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.

Definitely the best coffee in Newcastle’s CBD, possibly the best in the city.
The staff are friendly and the orders are generally out pretty fast. The laneway makes for a nice setting and the place’s fit out is cosy and friendly.Most importantl…
