We spotted this great coffee shop on our first day in Newcastle and decided that it would be perfect for getting breakfast the next day.
It is tucked away down a side street but has quite a long footprint-really what caught our eye as we passed was that it shared an entrance with a tanning centre. There is Aldo outdoor seating at the front.
There was so much choice when we went in for breakfast with a great range of hot drinks, pastries and all manner of sweet treats plus a very comprehensive menu. We opted for scrambled eggs, mine on gluten free bread.
It was delicious! I would have loved to try one of the cakes and pastries but was too full…
There was a lovely vibe in the coffee shop-all the staff were friendly and helpful; nothing was too much trouble.
The clientele varied across the age groups and included family groups, young people working on laptops and lone diners.
By the time we left there was quite a queue at the counter as it is obviously very popular.
Will definitely visit again when we are next in Newcastle.
A great coffee shop maybe a bit cold even inside but the coffee was great to get some work done.

Nice vibe in here, cosy sofas and the coffee is good compared to some other places--doesn't taste as "third wave" which I can't always get along with. I've been here myself and with other people over the years. The food is also pretty nice. I'm a little nonplussed as of late though, because they seem to start turfing out customers an entire half hour before closing, which I'm pretty sure is a little extreme compared to normal for a coffee shop even when taking closing into account. There were still a number of customers sat in who WERE having a relaxed time.
I'm taking it slightly worse because I paid £3.75 for a coffee only to have a paper cup dumped in front of me and I was planning my time around opening hours--I'll just avoid this place when it gets later in the day because I've been caught out by timings a few times, which seem to be a little inconsistent depending on who's on the clock.
Please, if you're eager to leave early then just change your times so that customers get to know and respect them. I know the service industry is hard, but customers need accurate information like this and maybe tone down the hostility. I wouldn't tell a paying audience over a microphone to leave just because I want to shave off some time and I don't normally expect that attitude at a coffee shop either, unless it really WAS closing at 6:30 and your opening hours are wrong on Maps.
The sad thing is that I was having a nice online date with someone and that had to be cut short for the sake of five or ten minutes. I've been able to sit in Caffe Nero a little later, so I'll just go there when I need more time. Sorry guys.
Great place to meet people and work over a coffee. Can always get in and very relaxed.
The ambience is nice, relaxing. The lemon cake was fluffy, sweet & zesty. The music is usually v. nice, when you can actually hear it, over the buzzing humans 😏 It's also great place for groups, uni socs and what not. Service is nice and quick. Staff's polite too.
My go to coffee spot in the city centre. Staff are friendly and the drinks are huge and tasty. Decent range of food too
Great spot for breakfast, coffee and cakes. Staff are super sweet and helpful and everything we had was delicious. Loads of space to sit, both tables with chairs and couches to chill on. Really nice!
Very lovely staff, nice coffee, good food. Then go get a sunbed after, really lovely place definitely recommend!
Only discovered this placed recently when I wanted to go somewhere different than my usual haunts.
It's very spacious inside, with lots of comfy chairs and sofas to relax into with your beverage. Bonus: all the seating areas are well spaced out, so you don't feel like you're cramed in. Have to say, the flavoured coffee I had was AMAZING.
There's a good selection of food and snacks available to make it a great spot for lunch too. All of which are reasonably priced.
Lovely place to meet have cuppa .love the club sandwich .
