This place is there best, Sandy and George are gentlemen. I've been coming to this establishment for some time, and I'm never let down. Ambience: Warm, friendly and relaxed Food: Outstanding, there isn't anything on the menu, including made to order dishes that you wouldn't eat, love the lot Price: Absolute value for money Do yourself a favour and give this place a try, you'll be back.

My favorite coffee in Newtown! Decent food with excellent portion sizes, too, but the coffee is the real draw. They also do a nice Greek coffee.

Lou Jacks is fairly unpretentious with no particular theme to the décor. There is a hint of Greekiness in parts of the menu, and a couple of bottles of retsina lurking on the shelf behind the bar, but it’s very low-key. The vibe is pleasantly honest and straightforward. It’s just a café, with a bit of a courtyard out the back. I have no idea what the name means. I hope it is the names of the owners, but maybe it is their favourite bourbon. Who knows? The service is very efficient, we have a couple of coffee orders away before we have even had time to look at the menu. And the coffee is excellent. The menu is not one of those long ones, full of exotic middle-eastern, or south American meals, that seem to be in vogue at the moment. There is enough choice, but you don’t have to go fl
