Anyone on this site \*\*Discover the creative pulse of Katoomba at Soul Side Café! Tucked inside 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 ideal launch-pad for every Blue Mountains adventure. ([onthesoulside.com][1]) ### Five reasons travellers flock 1. **Hand-roasted 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]) Hidden inside the historic Gearin Hotel, On the Soul Side Café is Katoomba's sanctuary for award-winning espresso, acoustic sessions, and friendly vibes. Just a short stroll from the iconic **Carrington Hotel**, and minutes by car from the jaw-dropping **Three Sisters**, the café makes the perfect base for explorers roaming **Echo Point**, **Scenic World**, or the misty walking tracks that criss-cross the **Blue Mountains** National Park. Each week, soak-up regular live acts like local jazz trios, or surprise guest sets from touring mountain musicians. Pair the groove with a velvety 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, loop past the **Carrington's** Queen Victoria grandeur, then unwind here for lunch. As locals say, it's the "best great coffee for 1,000 miles." **CTA:** Swing by to **On the Soul Side Café** (1 Goldsmith Pl, Katoomba) on your next Blue Mountains escape-your soul will thank you! visit this page |
