Who We Are

Tommy’s Coffee is an initiative of St Thomas’ Church - a church in the heart of Newcastle with a vision to follow Jesus, build community, and love Newcastle.

Tommy’s exists to serve great speciality coffee, connect with the people of our city, and invite them to know Jesus.

The idea of Tommy’s Coffee was conceived many years ago by Joel and Luke; two of the members of staff at St Thomas’. After much dreaming, praying, and planning, the idea eventually became a reality when Tommy’s Coffee opened to the public in May 2025. To learn more about the journey of starting a coffee business in a church, check out our video series on Instagram or TikTok.

The Tommy’s Coffee cart is located just inside the entrance of St Thomas’ Church; the ‘black church’ just next to Haymarket metro station, between both universities, and at the top of Northumberland Street. This incredible location allows us to serve the workers, students, and visitors of Newcastle.

Pop in for a coffee when you’re next walking past - we’d love to meet you. And maybe we’ll see you Sunday?
