I'm here a few times here with a heap of people here and it was great every time. I love the smelled avocado and the fresh croissants, they really use delicious jam. My husband loves the cold brew coffee and the enthusiasm of employees, with lovers of coffee. The only thing I think you really are missing is something for the sweet tooth, pancake or something on the breakfast menu!

I only live around the corner and that's my way for coffee, given the choice of a dozen or so competing cafes nearby. Best coffee on South King, hand down. The staff is super friendly, and although the menu is small and something, sometimes the food is quite inventive, they regularly turn on the menu, and it's always delicious! I only have 2 handles - 1) It can be uncomfortable hot (but there is a shady back area), and 2) No marshmallows with babycino, which makes it to my daughters to have the least popular my daughters.

I like to spend my weekend, the long black sloped and enjoy a good conversation with the guys in rolling penny. It is not difficult to be hospitable, places that live and breathe hospitality hard to find! Rolling Penny is a gem.

We had our engagement party at rolling penny and woah boy was it just the best time ever. Martin and his amazing team were so accommodating and fun loving, the food was amazing and the music is always on point. Thank you so much again, it was the most beautiful evening for us!! P.s whatever the sparkling wine was, everyone is still talking about how delicious it is!

I'm calling it- the best cafe in Newtown. I've spent hours and days here enjoying the great vibes, music and the blokes behind the counter remind you that the place is yours as much as theirs. Coffee and food are just the starting points here. Cheers guys
