We dined here for breakfast daily during our 3 night stay at Novotel Newcastle beach, right next door. Loved all the food we had & the service was very friendly all 3 days also. Breakfast 1 was fruit loaf with chai, breakfast 2 was scrambled eggs on turkish with Ant's chilli jam & fresh apple/ginger juice & breakfast 3 was ham & cheese toastie with fresh OJ. I loved Ant's chilli jam so much I bought a jar to take home & enjoy. This is a great cafe with something for everyone & highly recommend.
East End Hub is a great little spot adjacent to Newcastle beach, and perfect if staying at the Novotel and wanting something far better than hotel breakfast. There's a great mix of indoor and outdoor bar and table seating, and spots for your beloved pooch outside.
Service is swiftly and coffee strong and delicious. The vegetarian breakfast is so striking in colour and generous in portion. The corn fritter is much more than just flour, with plenty of corn. It holds it shape but isnt over-bound. Mushrooms were delicious and without all the oil/butter. Great little vegetarian plate and comfy, cosy vibe. Lots of warmth from the staff (aside from what was heard from the open kitchen).
The outstanding thing about this place was the service. I was super impressed by how simple everything was for them, even the hyper complicated orders due to multiple different dietary requirements in our group.
The menu was generic but they did everything very well. The ricotta pancakes were amazing. Their mushrooms were beautifully cooked. The speck was flavorful. The chorizo was soft. Should I go on? Completely forgot to take photos because it was so amazing. Only downside was they forgot the kid's ricotta pancakes so he ate all our food by the time they came out, so that's the only reason for losing half a point. Overall, super experience and will come back next time I visit Newcastle!
