In their words, we’re “small but mighty.” We prefer delightfully caffeinated and dangerously charming, but hey, we’ll take it.

The word is out

Nestled snugly on Hunter Street, we’ve always liked flying a little under the radar. But when someone writes a love letter about your coffee, your vibes, and your muffins (yes, they mentioned the muffins), it’s only fair to do a humblebrag or two.

The article gives a nod to:

• Our espresso game (strong, smooth, and slightly addictive),

• Our scrappy little food window out the back (hot tip: that’s where the magic happens),

• And our good-natured chaos, which is kind of the brand, if we’re honest.

Yes, the muffins are that good

We’re not saying they’ve achieved cult status, but we have seen grown adults get misty-eyed when we sell out. (Sorry, Barry. Come earlier next time.)

HunterHunter calls us a “must-visit” in the Newcastle coffee scene, and while we usually let the crema do the talking, it feels good to be seen.

A day in the life of Good Brother

If you haven’t dropped by yet, here’s the usual routine:

• Step inside

• Get hit with the smell of fresh-ground beans and possibly someone’s oat flat white who ordered ahead

• Order a coffee that will make your soul tap dance

• Pick up a muffin that may or may not ruin you for all other baked goods

• Linger just a bit too long in the doorway because it’s that kind of place

Shoutout time

Big love to HunterHunter as always for the write-up, the kind words, and for managing to describe our vibe without once using the word hipster (well played).

And of course, thanks to our regulars, new faces, dog-walkers, coffee-snobs, and muffin-devotees who keep us brewing!
