Lagom Coffee Bar★★ Specialty

Pick your origin at the counter, take the tasting card, and decide: espresso or pour-over. The specialty anchor Grainger Town needed.

Tommy's Coffee★★ Specialty

CLO, a kingdom-minded roastery out of Leeds, is doing the sourcing work. The room is St Thomas' Church, which adds nothing to the espresso and everything to the story.

Flat Six Coffee Roasters★★ Specialty

A working roastery in Grainger Town, which is rarer in Newcastle than you'd expect. Order the cappuccino; retail bags are on the counter if you want to take it further.
