Small, busy, young, non pretentious! Loved my choice - Peach Bruschetta: tumeric poached peach, sweet labna with lemon myrtle, toasted macadamia and coconut, honey, rhubarb compote, sourdough. Please keep it on your menu!! We will be back ♥️

Such a lively and lovely amazing cafe next to the sea. Coffee was great and served as requested (hot). Love the food too . The best thing I notice - is the staff's interaction with customers -it brings a whole level of down-to-earth experience. Recommended for the coffee, staff experience and the sea view.

Gorgeous little cafe overlooking the sea near Newcastle Ocean Baths. Delicious Manuka-smoked king salmon with scrambled eggs and excellent coffee. Fantastic find!

The BEST lions mane you will ever taste! Spicy with a hint of pure lush and a view of Newcastle Beach to top it off.

We had breakfast at Estabar this morning. The service and food was brilliant and what a treat to look straight out onto Newcastle Beach. We read a story in HunterHunter about the cafe and its owner and we were pleased to meet him, working hard this morning. He is such a friendly young man who appears to love what he is doing !! According to the article, he loves to create a place for the community and thrives on using local produce, even the jam from a lady in Mayfield who still uses a wood fired stove to cook it on. This is our kind of place. What a treasure of a cafe ! Well done young man 👏👏👏

Stopped here for brunch before I had to travel back home. I really enjoyed my food! It was so fresh, and after a few nights away I needed something super healthy to perk me up! The coffee was also very good 👍🏻 it was a good strength, so many places make it too weak for my taste. Thanks a lot! Keep up the good work. I'll definitely consider dropping back in my next time in Newcastle. 🥰
