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

A Quayside brunch room where people order the coffee twice.

What we love

  • Cortado on the espresso menu, which suggests someone back there paid attention
  • Baristas who take the coffee more seriously than the surroundings demand
  • Brunch-first menu; the flat white earns its own column in the bill

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.
