Cafe Memento is a pretty good cafe in the area. I went there for lunch on the weekend and the menu was quite good lots of variety.

If you find yourself in Blackheath and are in need of great coffee and beautiful food, this is the cafe to visit. lovely atmosphere and the staff are always happy to chat about the weather. love the garden patio for sitting area and their coffee is so lovley that you end up having more than one, they also sell pastries as well and prices are fantastic.

We stumbled across Memento quite by accident at the end of May, eager to get away from the hoards at Leura and Katoomba. We were a cold, wet ravenous group of 6 ready to refuel for an afternoon's bushwalking at Govetts Leap. The food was excellent, my lentil stack deliciously yum, the Russian Caramel cake to die for and the coffee great, unlike the muddy water that passed for coffee at the appalling La Maison boutique hotel Katoomba. Loved the ambience of Memento, the artwork on the walls...it was cosy and the staff friendly with fast, efficient service. And I thought the prices really reasonable given the fresh, organic produce. And I also liked their environmental ethics, the place runs on wind power. So many plusses for me here....will be hightailing it back here on my next visit to the Blue Mts.

The food is good and so is the coffee. The setting is great, indoor or outdoor. The people were very friendly.

One great thing about this cafe is that it is very ethical. Local ingredients, open range eggs for example. You know that you're not only getting a great meal/snack/coffee but also supporting local, cruelty free producers.
