Estabar

Estabar sits on Shortland Esplanade on the Newcastle beachfront, overlooking the city's famous Newcastle Beach. A much-loved cafe known especially for its coffee and gelato, it makes the most of its gorgeous beachfront position — combining quality coffee, good food and beautiful handmade gelato with a relaxed, characterful setting and lovely ocean views.

The appeal is that combination of quality coffee, good cafe fare, lovely gelato and a stunning beachfront location on the Newcastle foreshore, ideal for a morning coffee, a casual bite, a beachside gelato or a relaxed catch-up by the sea. The beachfront setting alone makes it a standout, and Estabar has clearly won over a big, loyal following of locals and visitors.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 800 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved spot. Menus, the gelato range, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular beachfront cafe gets busy on weekends and over summer, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a great coffee, a gelato and lovely ocean views, it's often just a matter of dropping in along the Newcastle beachfront at Estabar.
