Tickled Pink. Across from the station, this excellent coffee shop is so cool and laid back. The high ceiling, wooden floors and whitewashed walls brighten up a long narrow room and the dairy style tiling is a nice touch. They are serious about their coffee too and there is a great range to choose from. The staff are both enthusiastic and experienced and are happy to make recommendations. I had 2 different lattes and both were expertly prepared and delightful. I enjoyed my visit and hope to return soon.
We popped into this little hole in the wall as we had an hour to kill before our train, and wanted to spend it somewhere other than a chilly train station in dismal weather.
This was just across the way from the station.
I had been once before quite a few years ago and remember getting their white hot chocolate. Still a nice tasty warm drink.
The place has a quaint cozy chill atmosphere.

Nice coffee and cakes just outside of the Newcastle rail station. I really enjoyed their tonic coffee.
From the moment you enter youre greeted with a smile and an ever so friendly welcome. It makes such a difference to enter somewhere like this. Coffee & lemon cake was had and both are great reflections on the standards this coffee shop has. Pop in and support local independent establishments they really do help create a great culture and environment that we all live in and frequent. I must again add how friendly the staff are!
All-use cafe for single or to catch up with your friends:)) Went there twice and both of the time, the coffee was gorgeous.
Though not the best independent in Newcastle, they serve decent coffee (a relatively small cup in fact) and cakes. Their location next to the train station is also an advantage.
Ps: A good spot to some works - the bar is not perfect to work on your laptop or read a book.
Really good coffee. Been coming for years as it’s located right by rail station. Recommend.
Very busy due to location, coffee was a dam good blend, plenty of character. Also the lemon cake actually tasted of lemons, a simple task most places seen unable to achieve! Ok a few downsides, price is very high but that's due to location. You pay what they can get away with, not what it's worth. And size of coffee was tiny, even a latte was like a toddler portion. Anyway if I was flush with cash id pop in maybe as the coffee was very tasty blend.
Popped in for a cup of tea. The tea came in a pot with loose tea inside a strainer. Yummy. They do toasted sandwiches too.
Instant service. Great music to help a person to relax. Thank you
Aesthetic coffee shop with plenty of seating inside. They roast their own beans; although my picture contains a flat white my wife had a pour over with their Ethiopia beans which was delicious - very little bitterness and lovely fruity notes.
Update (October 2023). Good coffee but staff aren't very friendly. Would consider going elsewhere next time I'm in the area.
July 2021. Great flat white and excellent tea. Didn't try anything else as it was closing 15 minutes after we got there. Was able to sit outside for the few minutes before they closed. Very friendly staff. Will be back to sit in someday, soon!
