Cafe Zuppa - Katoomba (Blue Mountain)

Cafe Zuppa - Katoomba (Blue Mountain)


Located just opposite Carrington hotel, this stretch of shops sell mostly food items. Cafe Zuppa is one of such shop. They sell burgers and sandwiches and is known for their hot chocolate drink.


Hot chocolate with marshmallow ($5) - A bitter sweet cup of hot chocolate topped with cocoa powder and marshmallow. A nice proportion of cocoa powder and warm milk makes this cup of drink excellent to sip in on a cold night.



Pulled Pork Burger ($15) - Piping hot and thinly sliced pulled pork served with fries. Meat was well marinated with intense bbq flavour and layered with crunchy coleslaw. Burger was good except that meat was slightly dry. 


Smoked salmon sandwich ($9.50) - I enjoyed my sandwich very much as there was generous serving of rocket leaves, onions and smoked salmon between the warm and moist multigrain bread. You may choose the type of bread you want.




A hearty and satisfying meal



Verdict: 3.5/5

Cafe Zuppa is a place where you can get your hunger fixed at anytime of the day as it offers all day dining at its cosy corners. Selections on the menu is comprehensive and affordable. Both indoor and outdoor seats are available. Do give this cafe a try during your stay at the Blue Mountain.

The Yellow Deli - Katoomba (Blue Mountain)

The Yellow Deli - Katoomba (Blue Mountain)

The Yellow Deli is a cosy and vintage two-storey cafe which is well furnished with wooden flooring and furniture all around. This place was filled with customers even during late lunch hours. We waited for around 30 mins before we were allocated with a table.





Menu comprises of sandwiches, salads, soup, desert and drinks


Second level of the cafe


Green Chia Latte ($4.50) and Hot Chocolate ($3.50) - Not bad for both the drinks. You can smell the strong fragrant of the Chia latte. Hot Chocolate for the cold weather is absolutely the best choice.



Deli Rose ($9.50) - Roast beef sandwiched with cheese, tomato and onion. Served together with chips and pickle. Roasted beef is not as hard as imagine, more towards stew meat. The beef is juicy ad tender, cooked at customer's preference on the wellness. Serving was definitely enough to fill a hungry stomach.


Smoked Chicken ($9.50) - Thick layers of smoked chicken ham together with generous servings of cheese, tomato, lettuce and onions. Sandwich was big and filling, however taste was on the salty side.


Verdict: 3.5/5

This is a great place to hang out with friends or family. Very good ambience but service needs improvement. Waiting time is quite long, took almost 30mins to get a seat and not all the staffs are friendly. But as a tourist, it is worth the visit.
