Always delicious and the staff are always great, sometimes I feel like certain menu items are a little overpriced for portion size served, but could never complain about the quality. 3 monkeys have always been a popular option in Darby street

Very friendly staff here and the food is very yummy. They have a great range of smoothies and milkshakes which range from healthy to decadent. The stairs to the upstairs section are very narrow which can cause a bit of a bottle neck, especially because the toilet is located upstairs. Despite the lack of room it's a great spot if you're after a casual dining experience in Newcastle.

Great atmosphere and quaint little place to enjoy a coffee and a cafe style meal. Good prices and the food was really nice too with decent size meals. Coffee was really nice as well. Would come back again but not a suitable venue for kids due to the stairs so would be coffee date with hubby or meal with friends only.

I went here with a friend of mine mid week for some coffee and cake during there lunch break from work. We both ordered some cappuccinos and then a hot chocolate each in there largest drink size, which is quite novelty, because if you order the largest size drink it comes in what looks like a soup bowl! The drinks are very filling and are great hand warmers too in the cold weather, being that large! Our hot chocolates came with marshmellow's in them without having to ask so that was good. This place has a nice relaxed atmosphere and good friendly service. We sat upstairs, which is a nice private feeling little nook, however be warned the staircase is quite narrow and steep so if you are planning on wearing heels like I did, you might need to sit downstairs! Our sweets were quite tasty and I have also eaten lunch here a few times and the food has always been of a good standard.

Great place to grab some coffe and chips. They are fast and the staff are polite. I would definitely return here again. Its a great atmosphere for people from all walks of life.

Best chips I have ever had. Three Monkeys is a great "chill cafe" for people of all ages and styles. They have just renovated inside and outside and it just looks amazing now. The price is very reasonable and the staff are a delight. Also amazing coffees at this cafe.

Great little place to grab coffee or food. It can get quite busy but they do still get everything out to you in reasonable time. The staff are friendly and always willing to assist with any strange requests!

Great little cafe! Fantastic yummy food with quick friendly service even if ur just meeting friends for coffee or a meal is in a great location the only thing in the parking cause darby st can get pretty busy place.

They really have the best milkshakes and smoothies in Darby street - great range of food for an excellent price. The new renovations have really spruced the place up, and the waitstaff are friendly as always, if you haven't been to 3 monkeys cafe go and have a look and you won't be let down!

The staff look after us very well and come back every 5 minutes to make sure that we are satisfied with our meal(s). They have a unique variety of drinks including smoothies (chocolate, fudge, fruit, peanut butter, etc.), frappes, soft drinks and hot/cold milk drinks. The prices are great and the atmosphere is amazing. This cafe is for all ages and appeals very well to teenagers around the ages of 15-18.
