Best cafe in Sydney by far! I've never received such wholesome personal service from staff who are so passionate and genuinely love their job and care for the quality produce they are serving. It feels like you are being served by one big family.
The vibe is always upbeat and happy, the owners always make an effort to say hi and chat to you and make you feel welcome (even though they are super busy trying to balance multiple tasks). The layout is super cool and always fresh with new artwork. Don't even get me started on the menu!!
So grab yourself one of their famous Reuben sandwiches (it's off the charts) and plant yourself out the back with a glass of orange wine on a Saturday or Sunday arvo, as there are fewer finer pleasures in this rat race city than 212 Blu in Newie! X

My favourite cafe in Newtown. The staff are lovely the food is excellent and the coffee is very very good. 11/10 would recommend.
Such a wonderful place. Best smashed avo in Sydney in my opinion! Toast always not over cooked and smashed av is so flavourful. Highly recommend.
Lovely little cafe to enjoy breakfast . Enjoyed the great service decor and ambience. Caramelised banana bread with ricotta and honey was delicious. Iced latte not to my taste with its sour notes. Tasty Egyptian iced tea
Loved this cafe, coffee was epic and so was the food, they have a cute little courtyard. will definitely be going back for the cocktails and waffles.
A friend suggested their coffee. Quite good, but I'm not professional in coffee, taste ok. Many recommend their avo on toast. I had one, just so so. Not very impressive.
Amazing coffee, friendly staff and consistently good food. This cafe suppsets local artists and stocks a superb selection of liquor. I'd highly reccomend tjeor home made soft drinks and their avo on toast. Newtowns Best!
The breakfast menu is a bit different. Hearty, a bit salty with Mediterranean touch.
I tried the 212 breakfast board and the sloppy joe. Really like the grilled hallumi and the wyagu mince. But the friend who shared with me said the mince was kind of odd to be eaten during breakfast. So it is really something depend on person I guess.
I love the coffee here and very interesting internal decoration
This cafe is very inviting with a great modern hip design.
The staff are friendly and greet you with a smile that's real. Beautiful coffee that gives you w good kick for the day!
We just ate here, I had the sloppy joe which was very much full of flavour and would definitely order this again. The red juice I ordered as a beverage was tasty but kind of tasted like a sweet pulpy cordial. My partner had the chicken sandwich which was pre toasted and served cold, it was OK... Tasty enough but bland in comparison to my sloppy joe. The service was good. The only other point was the music that was playing was kind of depressing and the girls on the table next to us commented on it also.
Okay, so if you're looking for flavor and fulfillment, visit this Newtown cafe'. Initially visiting, it instantly reminded me of Melbourne. We had to write a well deserved review. Flavour is written all over their menu.
Everything on the menu is delicious, yes we have been there that many times. Tells you something eh'
Nice drop-in snacky place (for me anyway.) Prompt cheerful service which ensures return business.
