**Discover the soulful heartbeat of Katoomba at On the Soul Side Café!

Nestled within 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 perfect launch-pad for every Blue Mountains adventure. ([onthesoulside.com][1])

Why visitors rave

  1. Locally roasted 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Evening soul sessions – share a local wine platter while mellow jazz floats through the timber rafters during Soul Evening Fridays. ([onthesoulside.com][4])

  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.

  5. 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])

Hidden inside the historic Gearin Hotel, On the Soul Side Café is Katoomba's sanctuary for freshly roasted brews, soulful gigs, and down-to-earth vibes.

Just a easy stroll from the grand Carrington Hotel, and moments by car from the world-famous Three Sisters, the café provides the perfect launch-pad for explorers hitting Echo Point, Scenic World, or the misty walking tracks that criss-cross the Blue Mountains National Park.

Each weekend, catch free live acts like local jazz trios, plus pop-up guest sets from touring mountain musicians. Pair the groove with a silky flat white, a house-baked brownie, or a platter 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 “last great coffee for 1,000 miles.”
