Experience the soulful heartbeat of Katoomba at Soul Side Café!

Uncover the creative pulse of Katoomba at the Soul Side of Town Café!

Hidden 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 must-visit launch-pad for every Blue Mountains adventure. ([onthesoulside.com][1])

Why visitors rave

  1. 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.

  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])

Nestled inside the heritage-rich Gearin Hotel, Soul Side Café is Katoomba's sanctuary for ☕ top-notch coffee, soulful gigs, and down-to-earth vibes.

Just a short stroll from the grand Carrington Hotel, and minutes by car from the world-famous Three Sisters, the café makes the ideal launch-pad for travellers roaming Echo Point, Scenic World, or the lush walking tracks that lace the Blue Mountains National Park.

Each week, catch regular live acts like local jazz trios, plus surprise guest sets from touring Sydney bands. Pair the groove with a silky 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 lunch. As locals say, it's the “last great coffee for 1,000 miles.”
