Mama Ally Espresso

What a great little place where you can get delicious food, friendly service, and a large, delicious cappuccino in a real large cup instead of of micro cups most other places serve. I love their Longsilog and Chicken Adobe Bowl dishes. Five stars is not enough, make it ten.

Came here for lunch with lots of seating options with lovely views of the water. The staff were all so incredibly friendly. Ordered the kimchi pork and rice which so flavourful. The kimchi wasn’t too overpowering and paired really well with the pork belly and the rice was lightly seasoned. The purple yam latte was also very subtle and sweet without being too strong. A really great place to recommend if you want to try a unique Asian fusion cafe with water views. Once you’re finished just head straight down and take a walk by the lake. Only thing is parking can be a bit tricky sometimes as the main street is usually full.

Everything about this place is amazing, the food, view and service! It is a great way to start the day dining here and enjoy some quality time with your loved ones! Will be back for more

One of the best Asian Fusion cafe there is! View by the water is amazing. Best part is the staff. Special mention to Chef Vince and Cake Creator Cyril. Thank you for making my partners birthday memorable. - A

Wonderful lakeside cafe with gorgeous views of Lake Mac. Add to that wonderful food choices and such friendly smiling staff. Very unique selection of sweet choices. Coffee is great. Even when busy they serve you quickly and with a smile. Nothing is a problem if you want to change your selection slightly. Dog friendly too.

Great little Cafe on the esplanade. The coffee is consistently good and the service is always friendly and with a smile. The philipino themed menu os made using fresh ingredients, we watched a delivery of fresh meat (not frozen) arrive as we ordered our coffee. There are panoramic views of the lake and you can often catch glimpses of the Osprey bird that has built a nest at the top of one of the pine trees across the road. I've attached a dodgy video of the one we saw today eating a recently caught meal!

Worth to travel and tried their yummy foods!!! Good place to relax and amazing water view… serving is fantastic and friendly staff..

How cool is this cafe! If you're looking for a cafe that combines delicious food, great vibes, and stunning views in the Newcastle area, this is the spot! With plenty of sunshine streaming in and a waterfront location, the ambiance is perfect for a relaxing meal or a casual catch-up. Their breakfast and lunch offerings are fantastic, featuring classic favourites with a twist. The highlight for me is their Filipino Adobo Burger—an absolute must-try. The flavours are next-level, perfectly balanced, and unforgettable. Coffee is delicious too! The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming. This cafe is a gem.
