212 Blu

You might think that Newtown already has its fair share of cafes, but there’s always room for one more when the team behind it is as dedicated to quality and style as this one is. 212 Blu is by the team behind The Stables – a venue already firmly entrenched in Bondi and Surry Hills with its fashion/coffee offerings. This time, though, the group found an unused solicitor’s office in the backstreets of Newtown, saw its high ceilings and potential, and gave it a spruce-up themselves.

212 Blu serves coffee by 5 Senses, with rotating single origins on pour over or three-hour cold drip, an urn of raspberry coloured Egyptian iced tea, cinnamon bircher muesli with berries, a 212 board with jamon, roasted onion and strawberry salad and a ‘hamwich’ with baked corn.
