\*\*Discover the vintage groove of Katoomba at the Soul Side of Town Café!

Hidden in 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 perfect launch-pad for every Blue Mountains adventure. ([onthesoulside.com][1])

### What makes it unmissable

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])

Nestled inside the historic Gearin Hotel, the Soul Side of Town Café is Katoomba's hub for ☕ top-notch coffee, acoustic sessions, and friendly vibes.

Only a easy stroll from the grand **Carrington Hotel**, and moments by car from the jaw-dropping **Three Sisters**, the café offers the perfect base for travellers hitting **Echo Point**, **Scenic World**, or the misty walking tracks that criss-cross the **Blue Mountains** National Park.

Each week, catch free live acts like Luna Wolf, or pop-up guest sets from touring mountain musicians. Match the groove with a silky flat white, a house-baked brownie, or a share-board of regional cheeses-and when the sun dips, switch to the new **Soul Evening**: boutique wines, shared plates, and sunset soul.

Planning your day? Start at sunrise with a takeaway brew, capture the first light on the Three Sisters, loop past the **Carrington's** Queen Victoria grandeur, then unwind here for lunch. As locals say, it's the "last great coffee for 1,000 miles."
