Former Forte Magazine office neighbour and Newtown coffee nest, Newfolk is on the market.

“Time for a big announcement. Newfolk is for sale” the statement posted to Facebook started.
“This is not a decision I have come to lightly, but after nearly six years at the helm of this fantastic shop, the time has come to hand over the reigns to someone new. I’ve loved every second of running this shop and getting to know each and everyone of my guests that have walked through the doors and I’ll miss seeing you all every day or week or month or whenever you come in! But I am beyond excited to see what is next for me and have a bit of a change of pace.”
It closes with a sales call to action of “Please submit any enquiries to me through Seek.”
From transforming the old Butcher’s building into a humble hangout for the hungry locals, Newfolk quickly became a favourite thanks to their immediate dedication to the local community from owner Harry Adamson who not only knew everyone on the blocks names within their first week of trading but also their regular coffee order. With the goodwill of those ongoing customers across the last six years, Newfolk is positioned as an attractive sales purchase.

Located in one of Geelong’s most affluent areas in close proximity to schools for footpath traffic, Newfolk found their groove as a go-to for dine in lunches, grab and go orders, coffee and also drinks, doubling as a bar. It’s quirky and unique setting made it a gem in Geelong’s west.
Whilst sad to see Adamson leave, the cafe will surely continue to thrive under new ownership.
