Java Lifestyle coffee & tea - NEWTON

The café was mediocre, to be honest. The coffee was delicious, but the food was just average and nothing special to mention.

Parking at this restaurant is easy since it is located in the Target Newton car park, just a short distance away.

If you are searching for this restaurant, be prepared to search diligently as they do not have a sign displayed among the other prominent signs at Newton Plaza.

Quite often I'll stop in for a take away coffee and they are always flat out. Once you taste the coffee you will know why. Haven't purchased beans from here but they certainly know how to make a decent espresso.

Looking for a bite to eat at the Newton Shopping Centre, and there was Java Lifestyle coffee & tea. It was fairly busy which general y indicates a good spot. The centre was also busy and the café had a fair rate of customer turnover which indicated good service.Looking at the menu board, it was a big decision as to what to have. I settled for Java omelette – with ham, tomato, baby spinach and feta with continental toast and a flat white coffee. Being an artisan coffee house, I was hoping the coffee wold be great!While waiting for my coffee and meal, I walked and viewed some of their displays of vintage coffee grinders, tea pots, coffee grinders and other associated equipment. If you do go to the café, do take the time to look at the display. It is well worth it and may bring back memories.Meal and coffee served in what now was not a long time. Coffee was good, pleasant flavour and texture. Although for me a tad mild. The omelette was light and well filled with hunks of ham, tomato section, baby spinach and feta which all made for a delightfully filling and tasting dish.Service was pleasant and non-intrusive, staff well trained to clear tables quickly to enable the next wave of customers to enjoy the treats. The display cabinets next to the ordering point, were laden with delights and it was battle not to partake. Maybe next time.Return? A definite if in the area again.
