Independent espresso bar near the RVI where the coffee earns genuine praise, not just the benefit of the doubt. The owner is there, and the regulars notice.

Genuine espresso care in a neighbourhood that doesn't ask for it.

Pink Lane Coffee★★★ Purist

The beans in your flat white were roasted yards from where you're sitting. Pink Lane runs its own roastery, sources direct from farm, and grades every lot to SCA specialty standard.

Ouseburn Coffee Co.★★ Specialty

Roasts on-site, sells online, and pours a flat white that outstrips most of what Newcastle is serving. The decaf is the other reason to visit.

Come for the Turkish eggs, order the flat white. Order it again.
