Kissing Rock Coffee

Award winner at the 2026 Golden Bean World Series in Newcastle, Australia! Quiet little coffee shop with Wi-Fi. The staff were very friendly and informative. Can't forget Rocky who hangs out and shares plenty of good humor with anyone who will listen! Oh, did I mention the coffee was fantastic!

One of our favorite cafe to pop into during our travels. They are prompt to get back via email, I mailed them to ask about a book that they had at their shop, and they were so kind to get back to me in a timely manner. The shop has the most wonderful employees/owners, the coffee is off the charts amazing and the atmosphere is glorious!

I’m a verified coffee snob and this place has really good coffee. Very cozy spot with friendly staff. A great roadside stop along the 101!

Best coffee in town by far! We stopped here several times during our trip and tried the iced coffee (very good), drip (good), and a few cortados (very good). They were roasting something special while we were in the shop, and we got to try a raspberry (non-syrup) flavored cortado — I nearly melted into the floor, it was so good! We’ll definitely stop in again next time we’re in town.

We went looking for this place after having an amazing coffee at compass rose cafe. Managed to squeeze in a bit before closing and Andrew was incredibly accommodating and even took our photo to put up on the wall! Everything about this place is incredible - the quality of the coffee, people, and customer service. Highly recommend going out of your way to have their coffee and support their business.
