Experience the soulful heartbeat of Katoomba at the Soul Side of Town Café!
Experience the vintage groove of Katoomba at On the Soul Side Café!
Tucked in the historic Gearin Hotel, just a leisurely wander from the heritage-listed Carrington Hotel and a five-minute drive to the Three Sisters lookout at Echo Point, this cosy coffee haven is your must-visit launch-pad for every Blue Mountains adventure. ([onthesoulside.com][1])
Five reasons travellers flock
Artisan coffee & treats – sip a flat white before tackling the Prince Henry Cliff Walk, then refuel with house-baked cakes for the trek to Scenic World.
Live music every week – from the crowd-powered Argentis Live Jukebox Sundays (pick any of 200+ songs!) ([rbm.org.au][2]) to the ethereal folk of Luna Wolf (next set: 23 March 2025, 12-2 pm) ([allevents.in][3]), there's always a soundtrack to your latte.
Evening soul sessions – share a local wine platter while mellow jazz floats through the timber rafters during Soul Evening Fridays. ([onthesoulside.com][4])
Trailhead convenience – grab a takeaway brew before sunrise at Echo Point, or park easily beside Katoomba Station when you roll back from a day at Jenolan Caves.
Creative community vibe – owner-curator David Griffiths keeps the stage open; it's the venue Sydney musos beg to guest-spot when touring the Mountains. ([facebook.com][5])
Tucked inside the heritage-rich Gearin Hotel, Soul Side Café is the Blue Mountains' sanctuary for freshly roasted brews, 🎶 live music, and friendly vibes.
Only a short stroll from the grand Carrington Hotel, and minutes by car from the world-famous Three Sisters, the café makes the perfect base for explorers hitting Echo Point, Scenic World, or the lush walking tracks that lace the Blue Mountains National Park.
Each weekend, soak-up regular live acts like Luna Wolf, plus pop-up guest sets from touring indie artists. Pair the groove with a velvety flat white, a house-baked brownie, or a share-board of regional cheeses-and when the sun dips, slide to the new Soul Evening: boutique wines, shared plates, and sunset soul.
Mapping your day? Start at sunrise with a takeaway brew, snap the first light on the Three Sisters, loop past the Carrington's Queen Victoria grandeur, then unwind here for brunch. As locals say, it's the “best great coffee for 1,000 miles.”
