We went here for lunch today and the staff were AMAZING!! I went with my sister and my 8 month old baby. The waitress organised mashed veggies for lunch for Bub and then checked that they were ok for her to eat. I ordered the Thai Beef Salad and my sister had an Açai bowl. Both were delicious. Half way through lunch Bub reaches across and grabbed my sisters ice coffee and spilt it all over the table and floor. The staff could not have been more helpful with cleaning it up and then replaced it which was totally unexpected! Seriously could not rate this place highly enough and will def be back!!
Came in for dinner and couldn't fault the food. The steak was perfect mr & lamb shoulder melted in your mouth. Highly recommend
Actual rating: 3.5/5
We ordered all three toasties (porky pig, Shaun lamb, grilled halloumi), and the shroom burger (veggie burger). The toasties were delicious but quite oily. Service was nice but the wait for our food to come was very long.
Good vibe. Busy and welcoming. Lots of different areas to sit. BUT avoid the nachos if you like satisfying grilled cheese on your nachos. They just pour over a cheese sauce. Wierd. Great chips
Went to 3 Monkeys for breakfast this morning, although had to wait in the queue (whilst starving) for about 15 mins it was worth every second!!!!! We ordered the Porkie Pig Toastie and Bacon French Toast, absolutely exceptional and cooked to perfection. Best coffee I've had in Newcastle as well, my partner had the Nutella long black - so so bad for you, but oh so good. On top of that, service was exceptional... Highly recommend!
Stuffed mushrooms
Monkey fry
Bubble and squeak.
Bacon cooked perfectly . Great flavours. Huge portions. Delicious milkshakes . Coffee was awesome. Quick and efficient service
Nice funky vibe. Good food and drink options. Enjoyed it here
Salad bowl was nice as was the chicken burger. Good hearty size breakfast portions too.
Lovely cafe on Cooks Hill. Took a while to decide which cafe to go as there's quite a few on the same street. Tried their smoothie and wow, amazing.
3 Monkeys Cafe is located in the main strip of Newcastle and was buzzing with people. It is rated quite highly on Urbanspoon/Zomato. Currently, it's sitting at almost 4/5 on Zomato. There aren't as many other cafes to compete with one another in Newcastle compared to Sydney so I wasn't sure what to expect.
Cool spot for breakfast or brunch. Do an amazing Chai Latte.
Great staff and well priced menu too. Sit outside for people watching.
BEST FOR: Brunch or coffee
Darby Street, Cooks Hill, is within walking distance of Newcastle’s CBD and is full of interesting and quirky shops, some great street art and lots of lively restaurants and cafés. If Newcastle has a food street, then this surely is it. We dropped in for breakfast at Three Monkeys and were super impressed.
Nick Williams (below) has been running the café for 12 years and his dedication shows in the large and varied menu, the quality of the food and simple touches like the use of real leaf tea. Such a small thing and yet it makes so much difference to our enjoyment of a place...
Nice lunch. Chose two the Monkey'fav and not disappointed at all. Flavour is just right! Starter slow cooked lamb is beautiful as well.
Snickers Thickshakes are always the best here.
Opted for the veggie burger this time as it was actually good. Plenty of goodness to fill you up. Poke bowl was also appetizing. staff friendly and a nice cosy atmosphere.
Great atmosphere, great staff and great food and drinks. Would definitely recommend going to Three Monkeys Cafe. However, the prices are kinda steep but worth the price, hence the 4 stars
Superb place for breakfast/brunch and good coffee!
Great breakfast. Good service and very nice coffee
If in Newcastle, would surely recommend visiting this Cafe.
Good vibe, good food, very nice coffee and great service.
I've eaten breakfast at alot of places in Cooks Hill and the Junction, and Three Monkeys Cafe has a brilliant easy menu, service is top notch and they don't go overboard with sauces. Plus if you like pepper as I do, they come out and put it on for you. This makes you feel special, albeit just there for breakfast. 8am is a good time to be there, before the rush of people come in
