Quayside0.9 mi from Quayside centrelast reviewed April 2026

Riverfront cycling hub on the Quayside where the espresso is better than the setting suggests. The latte art gets its own mention, which is more than most stops along the Tyne manage.

The coffee punches above what the cycling crowd came for.

Pink Lane Coffee★★★ Purist

Every flat white here starts at Pink Lane's own roastery, roasted across town and graded to the SCA's 80+ specialty threshold. Single origins are traceable back to the farm they came from.

Ouseburn Coffee Co.★★ Specialty

Roasts its own at the Ouseburn roastery, sells online, and pours a flat white that outstrips most of what Newcastle is serving. The decaf is the other reason to visit.

Café 11★ Everyday

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.
