1. Darks Coffee Roasters
Globally sourced and locally roasted is the Darks’ motto, and you can try it for yourself at their McDonald Jones Stadium container cafe. With easy parking out front, it’s the perfect on-the-go spot for your morning fix, though you’ll always find a friendly face to sit and chat with too.

8. Euro Patisserie
A little bit of Europe in the heart of New Lambton. Swing by for a coffee or stay for lunch. Specialising in made-to-order cakes, or if you’re the type that usually needs to grab one at the last minute, they always have a delectable selection of celebration cakes ready to go. If you can’t fit in a whole cake, choose from their range of patisserie treats.

9. Yak & Yeti Espresso + Home
Another more recent addition to the Blackbutt Village shops is Yak & Yeti. With their own range of homewares with a very beachy, natural vibe, this is another one of those ‘stay a while’ type cafes. There’s a guaranteed selection of baked goods, an extensive brunch menu if you’re after something more substantial, all your usual favourite caffeinated beverages and some specialty iced drinks too (check out the Red Velvet Frappe!)
