A man has been charged with attempted murder after a woman was stabbed in the chest in the kitchen of a Newcastle cafe.

Emergency services were called to a Onyx Espresso Bar in Mayfield about 2:35pm on Wednesday after reports the 27-year-old had been attacked by a colleague.

Detective Superintendent Wayne Humphrey told reporters the woman had been hit with a blunt object, before she was stabbed.

A 23-year-old man who worked with the woman was arrested nearby a short time later.
