Mockingbird Cafe Newcastle - Hamilton, New South Wales

Mockingbird was an amazing experience! The staff were lovely, and the food was delicious and high quality. We were a group of four for breakfast, and everyone enjoyed their dishes. The only downside is that it gets very crowded, making it hard to find parking and quite noisy inside. Still, definitely worth a visit for the great food and service!

Dropped in day and was greeted at the door and then was served quickly. The young lady that served me was very helpful and the muffin and were both hot and delicious.

One of many popular cafes in the Newcastle area. Wait wasn't too long for a group of 5 for peak Sunday brunch time. Ordered our drinks first which took a bit of time but all our food took longer, the good thing was that it all came at once so we could eat together.

Ordered their pork benedict, there was a large and generous amount of pulled pork with this dish and it could make anyone full with such a serving. Biscoff latte was average but more affordable than other places. Thanks for the brunch Mockingbird!

Absolutely amazing cafe. Coffee and food are on point. Staff are lovely too. I would definitely recommend checking out this place.

Good points: food was good but that was about it.
Bad points: 1 table of six sat after us had their orders taken, finished their food, left, and tables cleaned before we got our food. Two tables of two each sat just before us had the same too. Ordered iced taro latte but wasn’t told it was not available but got an iced mocha latte instead- if I did not ask, I would not have been told- admittedly the different colour would have tipped me off. My food order was also wrong- brought me the wrong dish- if I did not say anything, they would have gotten away with it. There was no word of apology until we said that we were going to leave because 40 minutes of waiting for food after ordering is unreasonable. They only removed the cost of the drinks because of the mix up, not because of the long delay.
Overall: food was decent but don’t bother coming if it even looks somewhat busy, unless you have work or an assignment to distract you. They cannot cope. The coffee was good though.

Mockingbird Cafe is a cozy spot with a very lively vibe. We ordered the matcha latte, which was pleasant but lacked a strong matcha flavour, while the charcoal latte was a unique must-try.

For food, we had the chicken toastie, which was packed with juicy chicken and melty cheese, as well as the brisket + burrata, which was tender and paired perfectly with tangy pickles and creamy burrata.

The staff were friendly and welcoming, making it a great place for a relaxed brunch. Highly recommend!

Staff were friendly and efficient, food came out quickly, I had the red velvet pancakes and added bacon after staff recommended, it was soooo good and phenomenal presentation. Immune boost juice was nice, I could only taste the beetroot and ginger.
It was very loud inside and hard to hear each other but that’s understandable due to it being very busy and the big glass doors stayed shut to keep the warmth in. I wasn’t a fan of the loose leaf English breakfast.

This cafe used to be one of my favourites but so disappointing today. I had the Chicken Roti, which I have had before. The chicken was a piece of (seemingly) deep fried breast, cooked for way too long, with a dry leathery texture. Last time I had this the chicken was presented lightly coated in a Korean style and the dish was delicious. I am not sure what happened today but it was quite poor. Why the change? I did discuss with the waitress and also suggested using thigh fillet as a more suitable alternative
