Welcome to Neutral Bay Cafe, your local haven for authentic Australian-inspired delights nestled in the heart of Kurume, Fukuoka. This charming café offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfectly suited for anyone yearning for a taste of home, whether you're an expat or simply someone who appreciates excellent coffee and hearty meals.

Neutral Bay Cafe boasts a menu that captures the essence of Australian brunch culture. Start your day with their Big Brekkie—a sumptuous ensemble featuring grilled sausages, crispy bacon, fresh eggs, and homemade bread, cooked to perfection. And for the coffee aficionados, their Long Black will elevate your caffeine experience with its rich, robust flavor, making you feel as though you've been transported straight to a bustling café in Sydney.

Review after review echoes the sentiment that this cafe is a fantastic find. As Sean McAuliffe noted, it feels just like back home with its delicious offerings and strong coffee. You will experience that warm familiarity, with a sprinkle of excitement for discovering something unique in a new locale. D Levy appreciated the café’s commitment to serving “real food and espresso,” highlighting the language-friendly environment that welcomes locals and travelers alike.

The ambiance strikes a wonderful balance—comfortable and casual, yet infused with the vitality of Australian café culture. As Alice Guerville-Ballé pointed out, the kind, smiling staff and the freshness of the food create an uplifting dining experience. The homemade bread is particularly noteworthy; it feels like a warm hug for your taste buds, perfectly complementing the café's fresh and bright dishes.

For those who appreciate an artistic touch in their dining spaces, a gentle suggestion was made to introduce a few pieces of art or greenery, which could enhance the already vibrant atmosphere. Nevertheless, the café's charm overwhelmingly wins out, making it a beloved spot for both locals and visitors.

Furthermore, with their in-house coffee roasting, customers like Joshua McDonald revel in not only the incredible brew but also the delightful sounds of Aussie radio filling the air. It’s more than just a place to grab a meal; it's a community hub that resonates with the warmth and camaraderie reminiscent of Australian cafes.

Whether you’re craving a hearty breakfast or just a refined cup of coffee, Neutral Bay Cafe promises an experience that lingers long after you leave. Come indulge in their incredible menu, bask in the friendly atmosphere, and perhaps discover a piece of home away from home in Kurume.

They totally deserve their stars. Coffee was simply excellent, the service was kind and helpful, smiling and nice. And the food was simply awesome. Homemade bread, everything is light and fresh, well assembled. One single very little recommendation perhaps, one or two pieces of art could lighten up the place, or some flowers, plants. But it's really just a detail.

Great coffee; and feels just like a cafe in Australia. Were even playing Aussie radio when I was there. They roast their own beans too; so it was one of the best cafe experiences I've had in a while. Really lovely staff with great English skills.
