Three Monkeys Cafe

Three Monkeys Cafe sits on Darby Street at Cooks Hill, in the heart of Newcastle's much-loved cafe-and-dining scene. A much-loved cafe, it's become a genuine local favourite — the kind of welcoming, quality spot that draws a steady stream of regulars for good coffee and food in a relaxed, characterful setting on a buzzing strip.

The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a relaxed, characterful atmosphere in a great Darby Street location, ideal for a morning coffee, a leisurely brunch or a casual catch-up. On a street known for its food and coffee, a consistently well-loved cafe stands out, and Three Monkeys has clearly won over a loyal following.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 900 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular Darby Street cafe gets busy on weekend mornings, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a coffee and a casual bite, it's often just a matter of dropping in and finding a spot among the regulars at Cooks Hill.
