As we prepare to welcome domestic passengers into our beautiful new arrivals hall in the coming weeks, Crosswinds Coffee Co. will also open its doors, featuring a thoughtfully designed space and multiple seating areas, including outside on our new forecourt. It offers a relaxed, modern setting that blends the energy of travel with the warmth of great hospitality.
Crosswinds Coffee Co. takes its name from the ever-present winds that are part of every journey, lifting aircraft into the sky, guiding them through the air, and continuing long after wheels touch down. Like travel itself, they represent movement, momentum and transition. Crosswinds exists to ground you in the middle of it all.
The vision was to create a café that feels calm and welcoming, connected to the rhythm of the terminal and designed for travellers, visitors and airport staff alike. Whether you’ve just landed, are welcoming someone home, or arriving a little early for your flight, Crosswinds Coffee Co. offers a space to pause and reconnect.
The café features kiosk ordering for quick service, QR code table ordering, outdoor seating, and a seasonal menu with fresh grab-and-go options. It proudly serves locally roasted coffee from Sprocket Roasters — a name well known to many in the Hunter region for its rich flavour and quality. Every detail has been crafted for ease, comfort and efficiency without ever feeling rushed.
Importantly, it’s not just for passengers. If you’re picking someone up, dropping them off, or simply passing through, Crosswinds is open to all. It’s a first taste of the new terminal precinct and a chance to enjoy the space as it evolves into something more than just a place of transit.
The design of the café draws cues from the colours and textures of our region and complements the architectural beauty of our expanded terminal — a space designed to reflect the best of the Hunter.
With international flights launching soon and the final phase of our terminal expansion well underway, Crosswinds Coffee Co. is just the beginning of an upgraded food and beverage experience at Newcastle Airport. More exciting announcements are on the way, each one designed to showcase the best of our region and elevate every journey.
We look forward to welcoming you and sharing a great coffee together.
