Hoochie Mamma Cafe

Stones throw away from busy King Street & RPA Hospital, this deceivingly large cafe has a lot of space & a lot of menu choices. Everything sounds delicious & on this occasion for breakfast, I tried the Lumber jack omelette, scrambled eggs & fruit salad with Coyo. The lumber jack omelette was filling to say the least & had great flavours from chorizo, mushrooms & feta, a delicious, hearty start to the day! Scrambled eggs is always a good test at a cafe & this one was well cooked, not overly creamy which is to my liking. The fruit salad was beautiful to look at & eat! A big plate of colourful, fresh, beautiful fruits accompanied by coconut yogurt ($3 addition). Coffee beans are roasted in house & was a great brew. There is plenty of room inside & out which is great for groups and there is a kids corner with lots of toys and books so is super family friendly also.

For a cafe that looks amazing, the service and delivery of the food/coffee and anything else in this cafe is really really lacking.

Every year or so I'll go back in to check if they've improved and every year I leave disappointed.

The seating outside in summer is a winner if you get in early enough, their coffee often comes to you burnt so that even though I don't take sugar with my coffee, I need to in order to drink it. I have been known to send it back and ask for another with instructions on what temperature the milk needs to be in order to not burn the offerings. The food is really hit and miss here as well.

I've had some interesting omelettes that I've mixed and matched, however almost everything else seems to come out with something missing or rather dry or bland.

I always comes here hoping for more, one day maybe I'll get it. But for now, there's quite a lot that could be fixed.

A family friendly cafe in Newtown with a huge menu! It was a difficult choice but I went for the sweet corn fritters (gluten free option) that were served up with bacon, avocado, spinach and tomato relish. It was the perfect serving size to satisfy your weekend cravings. We also opted for the ‘All the Buzz Buttermilk Pancakes’. These looked small but they were packed full of honeycomb butter, fresh strawberries and maple syrup. The cafe has a great vibe with friendly staff and plenty of space to chill out!

Hoochie Mamma café has an interesting name. Whilst there were no characters of these sorts frequenting this café, it is certainly fabulous and we were met by staff with flair. Sparkly was a top waiter and instantly charismatic. He totally made our visit, being extremely accommodating and providing humor to our morning visit.
In close vicinity to the Sydney University Colleges and the hospital and a short stroll from the main street of Newtown, it really caters to everyone. It also has children’s seats and toys and therefore suitable to families too. The space is huge, and comfortable with a good amount of outdoor seating and heaters to provide you warmth in the cold.
We tried the special – sourdough topped with feta, rocket and poached eggs for a healthy start to the day. ...read more
