A happy heart is a healthy heart

A happy heart is a healthy heart

Identical twin sisters Toni and Kate Lunavich have poured their heart and soul into ‘Café Heart’ a new upbeat café situated at 575 Hunter Street, Newcastle.

The cafe has only been open a mere three weeks and in that time they have seen a huge positive response from the local community including hundreds of comments on their Facebook page.

The quirky café has a kid’s corner with mini chalkboard tables and toys to let the kids creativity come out. There is also a television playing all the kids classics to keep them entertained.

Kate Lunavich says she “wants customers to feel welcome and be provided with good service without having to pay the price of a fine dining restaurant.”

You can order cinnamon pancakes for a sweet start in the morning, or the truly original baked Avocado and Egg. Lunch times are a breeze with a Moroccan Chicken Burger and the Salt and Pepper combo for dinner is a crowd favourite.

With a pending liquor license, Cafe Heart will be transformed into an elegant wine bar at night, with live music to set the mood. Currently the cafe offers a BYO service with no corkage.

“A happy heart is a healthy heart,” says the Lunavich twins.

As if that was not enough, Café Heart has brought the first Slayer espresso machine to Newcastle, and is known for being the ‘Ferrari’ of coffee machines.

Now the Lunavich sisters have added live music on the weekends during breakfast and dinner time also known as acoustic sessions. Anyone who can play the guitar and know a few covers should come along.

Café heart has outstanding customer service; the food is tasteful and has the overall right balance that only a great family environment can provide.
