The Locale, New Lambton

While in Newcastle.... do as the locals do! I had some time to spare so soaked up some winter sun on a day forecast only for rain.  I found a fabulous big outdoor table at The Locale, in New Lambton, Newcastle and had a really good cup of coffee and a polenta orange cake to soak up the caffeine.

What a quirky place The Locale is. Rustic tables and interesting bits around the place but it had a nice bubble of mid morning conversation and some, like me had settled into their seats for a long time.  I was there for about 2 hours writing with the warm on my back. The staff were friendly, cheerful and helpful.  I was replenished with water and served with a smile.  I loved my time there and would go back.  One of the staff sat at the other end of my table and ate a late breakfast and it looked yum.  Definitely worth a try for food or just coffees.
