Durk's Cafe + Eatery Charlestown — Restaurant in Newcastle-Maitland

Food made up For the lack of customer service I received on the 18.12.24 just after 11.30am by the girl with the brown Pony tail and blue nails. After walking in going to the counter she just looked at me I said Hi then started giving her my order she gave me my total I handed her my money and dropped the change in my hand and walked away. Wasn't just me she had lack of customer service with, I watched her serve a few other customers and they also received a grumble but she was more then happy to have a chat to her Fellow co worker...

Lovely cafe tucked slightly away from the main thoroughfare, diagonally opposite JB HiFi and directly opposite Ally.

I had a beautiful Hot Felafel Sandwich: divinely tasty!

The sandwich had a pink pickled vegetable (type unknown) on it, which sadly was not to my taste, but that is no fault of the cafe - it's just my tastebuds. I just picked it out.

The lunch I had there is the most enjoyable lunch I have had in a long time - and very healthy!

Lovely staff; great atmosphere, comfy chairs. Seek it out - you won't be...

All the 5 star reviews were a little misleading. It's an ok cafe, but there's room for improvement.

The pros: nice staff, coffee was decent, and prices were pretty reasonable (except for the serving size).

The cons: Food was average at best, I had the eggs Benedict and it was served with only 1 small slice of toast, and the hollandaise sauce was not great. Would've gladly paid a couple dollars more for an extra slice...
