Some menu items were quite good, others were average. The service was nothing to write home about. The cafe appears to be popular, constantly have patrons waiting to get a table. Give it a miss if you have limited time in Newcastle. More

Sundays @ The Depot Darby is a family breakfast ritual. Staff are always friendly and accommodating, and always go that extra mile to meet any special dietary request. Good menu selection and well priced, and vibrant atmosphere. Must include baked beans and fried eggs on sourdough special as a permanent fixture of breakfast menu More

The value for money was excellent. The staff were attentive and friendly it was fairly busy most times we went but the service level was still maintained at all times. On one visit we took a friend for her birthday and it worked out cheaper for a 3 course with drinks included than some of the big chain steak houses... More
