Coffee on Crown

Coffee On Crown is one of the more contemporary cafes in Newcastle, situated on Crown Street in the centre of Newcastle near the cinema. It is a cafe that breaks up the quirky 'indie' scene that is dominating Newcastle's coffee culture. But I am in love with those indie cafes; the mismatched furniture, the vintage spoons, colourful cups and the interesting people that go along with it.

is nice, if you prefer to be among a more modern atmosphere minus the hippies, the indies and 'Generation Y' in general. in my opinion, doesn't appeal to my demographic (I'm 19).

It's perfect if you prefer your coffee in matching white cups, matching furniture and a little order in your life. They also have free wifi and several computers for your use at $3 for half an hour or $5 for an hour.

Coffee

Torn between the choice of a long black and a double espresso, I decided to order a long black. The coffee was personally brought to me by the barista, which is always a lovely gesture. The coffee was nice, although not particularly deserving of special acknowledgement. It wasn't as strong, nor as smooth as I have had elsewhere, but good nonetheless (it did have beautiful looking creme). Like I mentioned before, the coffee was brought to me in a conventional white cup, which is fitting for the cafe's contemporary vibe but to me was a lack of creativity (Estabar is the only exception to my loathing against white cups, because everything from the coffee to the view is exceptional).

If you happen to be walking past and wanted to kill some time (such as if you were waiting for a movie at the cinema) it would be worth stopping and having a coffee.
