Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Delicious food. Friendly service. The chef cares about his product and you can taste it in every bite. They know their regulars with a comfortable and casual atmosphere. Next time I’m in Cessnock I’ll drop in for a bite.

Lovely sandwiches,really reasonably priced and served quickly and efficiently.
But the best of all was the very friendly and helpful staff. It started raining while we were eating lunch and my daughter went to bring the car closer so the baby wouldn't get wet. The lovely girl from the cafe rushed out in the rain to put traffic cones in a parking space to save it for her. Service with a smile and definitely would recommend .

Outstanding coffee and food at the Ink. Daily specials and terrific burgers, especially if you like the full deluxe burgers with the lot.
I can highly recommend both the pasta special and the burgers.
Topped with a runny egg, delicious.
The Crema was sublime and just the right temperature, excellent stuff.

Food was okay however, order had to be returned to comply with what was ordered and returned gruffly by the cook. Also, toast was barely toast and only slightly toasted on one side and not sourdough as ordered. Flat White Coffee was terrible. It is always a mystery to me why most coffee anywhere is little more than coffee flavoured milk. In the hands of someone who knows what they are doing, it is not rocket science to make good, strong coffee.
Don’t go here for coffee!

It was pretty good. Had some basic food and a coffee - it cost much more than I was expecting. Coffee was way too hot to drink!

Went on Wednesday, got a bacon cheese and pineapple hamburger for $13.00.
Go again on Monday, they charged me $18.00 for the same hamburger.
What a rip off.
Do go...

The food is fabulous and the best coffee we have had out in ages. Jamie is an excellent host. Must eat in Cessnock. We had the chicken and bacon toastieand a steak sandwich. Nothing spared in the ingredients.

We popped into Ink for breakfast and coffee while on a get away! My partner had the beef and bacon burger and I had the eggs Benedict! Both were delicious and good portions the coffee was super yummy also! The staff were so lovely and made us feel very welcome and comfortable! They even went the extra mile by recommending and helping us find a good place to go for dinner! We were very impressed with our experience and will be recommending people to visit in the future =) thank you guys! We will certainly be back next time we are in the area!
