\*\*Discover the soulful heartbeat of Katoomba at On the Soul Side Café! from Karisa Poulsen's blog

Experience the creative pulse of Katoomba at the Soul Side of Town Café!

Tucked within the historic Gearin Hotel, just a leisurely wander from the heritage-listed **Carrington Hotel** and a five-minute drive to the **Three Sisters** lookout at Echo Point, this cosy coffee haven is your perfect launch-pad for every Blue Mountains adventure. ([onthesoulside.com][1])

### Why visitors rave

1. **Hand-roasted coffee & treats** - sip a flat white before tackling the **Prince Henry Cliff Walk**, then refuel with house-baked cakes for the trek to **Scenic World**.

2. **Live music every week** - from the crowd-powered *Argentis Live Jukebox* Sundays (pick any of 200+ songs!) ([rbm.org.au][2]) to the ethereal folk of **Luna Wolf** (next set: 23 March 2025, 12-2 pm) ([allevents.in][3]), there's always a soundtrack to your latte.

3. **Evening soul sessions** - share a local wine platter while mellow jazz floats through the timber rafters during *Soul Evening* Fridays. ([onthesoulside.com][4])

4. **Trailhead convenience** - grab a takeaway brew before sunrise at **Echo Point**, or park easily beside Katoomba Station when you roll back from a day at **Jenolan Caves**.

5. **Creative community vibe** - owner-curator David Griffiths keeps the stage open; it's the venue Sydney musos beg to guest-spot when touring the Mountains. ([facebook.com][5])

Hidden inside the historic Gearin Hotel, the Soul Side of Town Café is Katoomba's sanctuary for award-winning espresso,
