Fairly good coffee here. However, don't expect to be able to get a seat at this popular but very cramped place.

We went for breakfast because it offers very simple and very cheap meals and coffee. There are only 5 things on the breakfast menu and they are all very reasonably priced . The coffee is seriously good as is the hot chocolate. This is the sort of place that caters for locals and the budget minded without compromising on quality.

Best coffee in the mountains, food is always fantastic, generally friendly staff and great vibe. I visit at least once a week.

I was in Katoomba for only the weekend and I thought this Cafe was so good I had lunch there twice. The toasted sandwiches are probably the best I have ever had and the hot chocolate was to die for not to mention the coffee!

This place used to be good but my visit the other day was really disappointing. It was made worse by the really rude waitress who obviously hated her job. The menu was small and boring, but the coffee was ok.

Tiny little cafe, so it can be a bit squishy, but the staff are pretty friendly, the food interesting and satisfying, and the coffee is pretty good. One of my fave cafes to pop in and grab a takeaway coffee.

Great breakfasts, the coffee is something to die for, one of the best cup of coffee I have had. A definite MUST visit if in Katoomba.

Under new management, think they're doing a really good job. Great, simple menu - real food. Beautiful coffee and great music.

Really good breakfasts, nice coffee, good vibe. The only bad thing is the size of the cafe.
