Review The Oily George Espresso Bar - Newcastle

Honest Reviewer
The service of this café is sadly disengaged to rude and judgy, no matter how nice you, as a CUSTOMER SPENDING money, are. I have been many times and at different days, but always leave feeling unwelcome by the staff. A 'hi, how are you today?' with a warm Sunday smile wouldn't hurt (smile extra for the penalty rates)! It is a shame because the drinks are nice, it is in a good spot with outdoor seating, is nicely furnished and has good opening hours (one of the only cafés to open on a Sunday in the area).

Really love their great coffee, online ordering is really easy and we use it often. We would sit here more often if it weren’t for the regular customer who tends to let her two out of control kids run amuck around the place.

I used to live locally and enjoy the food, coffee and service here. A bit frustrated today as ordered coffees and food online - was charged the $80 from my card - and arrived to a closed cafe. Totally get Christmas hours are a thing but shut down the online ordering system if your place is closed.

Disappointing food and coffee. Customer service was exceptional. But the coffee tasted either over extracted and bitter or just flat out burnt. This maybe the Columbian Indian blend or a manual processing fault. The banana bread was also bland and croissant burnt. I enjoyed the atmosphere but our table was dirty and there was only 1 other group at the time. Potential and room or improvement but my experience was less that the best.

Ordered a mocha and a macadamia brownie. Coffee was brewed very well and the brownie was delicious and melts in your mouth. Lots of seats inside if you're not choosing to have eat in. Staff were very friendly and nice.

I live locally and due to proximity I've given this place the benefit of the doubt so many times but the coffee is always terrible. I find it undrinkable. They are in a great location and keep up business from commuter traffic so I always get fooled into giving it another go because it always seems busy but after another cup of coffee poured down the drain I can finally leave this review with confidence. I don't find the staff very friendly and it also smells weird inside. I've never tried the food so can't comment on that.

The coffee is good from here and they make them fairly quick even when busy.
