Experience the vintage groove of Katoomba at Soul Side Café! from pinkcelery4's blog

Experience the creative pulse of Katoomba at the Soul Side of Town Café!

Nestled within 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. **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 historic Gearin Hotel, the Soul Side of Town Café is Katoomba's sanctuary for ☕ top-notch coffee, soulful gigs, and friendly vibes.

Only a short stroll from the grand **Carrington Hotel**, and minutes by car from the jaw-dropping **Three Sisters**, the café offers the ideal launch-pad for explorers roaming **Echo Point**, **Scenic World**, or the lush walking tracks that criss-cross the **Blue Mountains** National Park.

Each weekend, catch regular live acts like Argentis' Live Jukebox, plus surprise guest sets from touring mountain musicians. Pair the groove with a silky flat white, a decadent brownie, or a platter of regional cheeses-and when the sun dips, slide to the new **Soul Evening**: boutique wines, shared plates, and sunset soul.

Mapping 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 brunch. As locals say, it's the "last great coffee for 1,000 miles."
