Had a lox, bagel and cream cheese with mint (who’d thunk and my girlfriend had an equally amazing meal. It’s a small...cafe, only a couple of tables, and people stand outside to get their coffees but everyone is just lovely and so helpful. They don’t have a website so just take my word for it and take a chance... worth the try! The food is just delicious. I will be back

It was a bit odd that she was given a butter knife to eat with. I had the salmon on sourdough, which came with boiled egg, rocket, and capers. The combination was good, although the egg was a bit overpowering. I was provided with a knife and fork, which I ended up giving to my daughter. The coffee was nice, and the fresh-squeezed apple juice was excellent. We realized that the bench was actually meant for seating when someone sat on the other end and our breakfast rocked. This was to be expected in such a small corner cafe. Overall, I would recommend giving it a try if you're in the area.

Despite the fierce competition and abundance of coffee snobs in the suburb, Belljar manages to stand out. The prices are average for Newtown, but if you want a good, strong coffee, then ordering a double is always a safe bet. I had breakfast here once, opting for the speck and egg roll, and it was about the same price as any other café. I appreciate that the café always has customers, but it never feels too crowded. It's a comfortable place to either sit and enjoy your coffee or take it to go.
