We had our engagement party at rolling penny and woah boy was it just the best time ever. Martin and his amazing team were so accommodating and fun loving, the food was amazing and the music is always on point.
Thank you so much again, it was the most beautiful evening for us!!
P.s whatever the sparkling wine was, everyone is still talking about how delicious it is!
I'm calling it- the best cafe in Newtown. I've spent hours and days here enjoying the great vibes, music and the blokes behind the counter remind you that the place is yours as much as theirs. Coffee and food are just the starting points here. Cheers guys
Tempted by the positive reviews on Google Maps, we rolled into Newtown for a very sunny 8AM breakfast at Rolling Penny. Our waiter cheerfully let us know that there was a whole new menu starting today, which disappointed me very deeply as I had already had my mind set on what I wanted. Luckily what I wanted was still on the menu, albeit renamed and with a small price increase.
A hipster little joint located at the south end of Newtown with a cool mish mash of repurposed tables and seating, with a mighty cool artwork in the main wall by the coffee machine. Scotty Nagy, the artist has certainly produced something that fits the space perfectly. An interesting and eclectic menu from Welsh rarebit, to buckwheat pancakes and smoked trout.
Friendly staff and serves a decent piccolo. Highly recommend the tacos. The mushroom roll was a bit too much for me unless you are sharing. The courtyard at the back would be a good sitting selection for the summer. However there is a wait on tables and if you are impatient this might not be the place for you.
Just bear in mind that you might be waiting a while for food. If you'd need to grab a quick bite I would go elsewhere.
That being said, I will be coming back.
Great vibe, mum and I both enjoyed the food. Simple but done well, tasty. Flavourful but not overbearing. I highly recommend the mushroom baguette. Juicy mushrooms with fresh, soft bread with a nice crust. Lots of vegetarian options, the cheeses in both our meals topped it off in our opinion.
Staff were accommodating and let me charged my phone. I had spent two hours at a clinic prior and was browsing on my phone so the batt was low when I finally went on with my day.
Service was okay, and that's fine: the waitstaff were unpretentious, genuine and owned it.
Great little local spot - and you can even lunch at the back little courtyard! I went twice in a week - I love the mushroom & cheese baguette 👍🏻 nice crispy grilled cheese and truffle oil on brickfielda baguette. The coffees great, service excellent. Might return to try that espresso martini for breakfast one fine morning!
Coffee is great as with the food. Another hipster style joint in hipsterville. Staff are accommodating and friendly, well worth a stop if you’re in the area,
I live just round the corner and this is my Go To for coffee, given the choice of a dozen or so competing coffee shops around. Best coffee on South King, hand down. Staff are super friendly, and although the menu is small and bit of a wait at times, the food is pretty inventive, they regularly switch up the menu, and its always always tasty! I only have 2 gripes - 1) it can get uncomfortably hot inside (but there's a shaded back area), and 2) no marshmallows with babycino which makes it my daughters least favourite.
I love spending my weekend knocking back long blacks and enjoying a good conversation with the guys at Rolling Penny. While it's not hard to be hospitable, places that live and breath hospitality are hard to find! Rolling Penny is a gem.
Cool brunch spot! Cute, casual cafe with interesting twists to regular brunch foods. They cannot make chai though to save their lives and we always sit out back in the courtyard kos its always way too hot
This place has a great vibe. Sit in the window and watch the world go by with the ice tea of the day. The egg and bacon sandwich is delicious with this spicy relish to give it some pep.
This interesting cafe near the end of Newtown had in and outdoor seating areas, which unfortunately due to being close to the main road, impacted on the atmosphere. However, once the coffee and food arrives, you forget the road is even there. The coffee is rich in taste but so easy to drink. The chosen dishes includes the Divorced Eggs, a Three mushroom dish and an Eggplant crisp. All e dishes were beautifully presented and were packed with great and interesting flavours. The Eggplant crisp was a particular favourite consisting of grilled eggplant, pickled vegetables which provided a welcoming tang to the dish, a boiled egg, adding a lovely aroma. All placed on top of a large crisp providing a brilliant crunch to the end of the bite.
The staff were very friendly and impressively knowledgeable of their menu, and so was able to provide great recommendations.
Definitely come here if you're looking for unique food for breakfast, brunch or lunch.
Very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The staff are friendly and helpful. Great Chef, Food was amazing, seriously balanced and tasty, full of mouth watering flavours. You will not be disappointed. great coffee and tea. Don't walk past, WALK into this excellent café.
The best brunch I’ve had in a while! Delicious gluten free bread! Bacon and coffee were perfection 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
This place is an absolute gem. It's not a overstatement to say that some of their breakfast dishes could be served in a fine dining restaurant for double the price. Consistenly excellent, creative cooking and a regularly changing menu. Great coffee, and free babycinos!
Awesome spot for a coffee and catch up. Peaceful outdoor area in the back.
Really cute little cafe with good coffee :))
