Experience the creative pulse of Katoomba at Soul Side Café!

Nestled in 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])

Why visitors rave

  1. Locally 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 within the heritage-rich Gearin Hotel, the Soul Side of Town Café is Katoomba's home for ☕ top-notch coffee, acoustic sessions, and down-to-earth vibes.

Just a easy stroll from the iconic Carrington Hotel, and moments by car from the world-famous Three Sisters, the café makes the ideal base for travellers roaming Echo Point, Scenic World, or the lush walking tracks that criss-cross the Blue Mountains National Park.

Each weekend, catch free live acts like local jazz trios, plus pop-up guest sets from touring mountain musicians. Match 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.

Planning your day? Start at sunrise with a takeaway brew, capture the first light on the Three Sisters, swing 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.”
