Really friendly staff. Allow us to order and sittingin the Cafe, 12 minutes before closing. Can't find the store in Sydney like this. Normally they take our order and ask us to wait outside.

One of the coolest vibes in any cafe I've been in. Walked past and on another day walked 20 minutes out of my way just to come in. Had a chai latte which was unreal and was able to drink it while having a look at a few travel books. Well decorated and cannot stress how cool this place is. Friendly staff. Would take friends here when I visit Newcastle.

I love the Flair! You can grab a book and chill down on a couch 📖🛋 or take your laptop and do some working while eating a delicious Croissant 😋💻 people are friendly and serve quickly 👌🏼 Such a wonderful place to take some time to rest 🥰

For a booklover this is a must! Firstly the staff are super sweet and always greet with a smile. I was in Newcastle for a short period of time but I kept coming back for their dirty chai and I was obsessing over the croissant ham & cheese. I was a little embarrassed to browse thr shelves as its a busy little cafe and I didn't want disturb the patrons sitting enjoying their meals but no one seemed bothered. If anything they are more then obliging. I managed to grab a book, regrettably I should have grabbed more. If ever I'm in Newcastle again it will be my go-to.

Oufffff. What a great place. Excellent strong smooth coffee. Splendid peanut butter cups (i had 3, only for the strong IMHO) Flavoursome carrot cake. Scrumptious lemon blueberry cake. If i live in Newcastle this place would definitely be my local haunt.

Relatively unique simple cafe food (toasties, pastries) and great coffee! Staff are friendly and make the already great atmosphere (bookish, relaxed vibe) even better!
