Experience the soulful heartbeat of Katoomba at Soul Side Café!
Uncover the creative pulse of Katoomba at the Soul Side of Town 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 perfect 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, On the Soul Side Café is the Blue Mountains' sanctuary for ☕ top-notch coffee, 🎶 live music, and down-to-earth vibes.
Only a short stroll from the grand Carrington Hotel, and moments by car from the jaw-dropping Three Sisters, the café provides the perfect base for explorers roaming Echo Point, Scenic World, or the lush walking tracks that lace the Blue Mountains National Park.
Every week, enjoy regular live acts like Argentis' Live Jukebox, or surprise guest sets from touring indie artists. Pair the groove with a silky flat white, a decadent brownie, or a platter of regional cheeses-and when the sun dips, switch to the new Soul Evening: boutique wines, shared plates, and sunset soul.
Planning your day? Start at sunrise with a takeaway brew, capture the first light on the Three Sisters, swing 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.”
