Dear Readers, Autumn rooms is a good place to visit in Newcastle. They were closing the kitchen in just seven minutes, yet still managed to take my order and serve up these beautiful pea fritters and iced matcha. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The staff was friendly :) It’s a bit on the pricier side though!
Best breakfast best brunch in Newcastle! Wow! Best hash brown as well. Hash brown is freshly prepared & cooked with amazing flavor. Bacon cubes are delicious, compare to traditional “dry” bacon strips. The Team is friendly with lovely smiles. Thank you Team Autumn Rooms.
This is a popular cafe on Darby Street at Newcastle, NSW. Service is fast and friendly.The matcha and long black coffee were good. The maple hot cake was a whole big round cake and was too sweet. The pork belly in the Londoner's breakfast set was so delicious with the thin fat layer simply "melt" inside your mouth. The avocado toast was delicious too. There are both outdoor seatings and indoor tables. However, it can be better if the tables are not placed too near to each other as the cafe space become slightly too cramp.
This is a really cozy, fun little cafe. We had outstanding food which catered for our gluten and dairy dietary needs. All the staff were lovely, professional and patient. The interior had great acoustics, especially considering how busy it was this morning. A must visit in Newcastle!
I honestly don't know how or why this review has been pretty much like 6 years in the making - because I do remember the first time I walked into this place, no idea what to expect but was very surprised (in a very good way) and pleased with just my long black and a muffin. There’s a reason this place has been a constant on Darby for 7+ years — and it goes way beyond good coffee (though trust, the coffee is good). It’s the team - I have no idea who made the team back when I first visited but today you have Georgia, Maddy, Boris — and the whole front-of-house crew — they’re the soul of the place. Friendly without the fluff. Sharp, genuine service that just makes you feel looked after. And Boris? He’s basically a coffee guru. Always on, always experimenting, always making sure the brew’s on point — no matter how busy it gets. The food? Always thoughtful. Seasonal, balanced, beautifully plated but never over the top. You get the sense that everything’s been considered — from the playlist to the plate. Autumn Rooms isn’t just a café. It’s part of Newcastle now. A space that holds steady while the city shifts around it. One of the greats.

Where seasonal flavors meet exceptional coffee in the heart of Newcastle.
