The Vietnamese iced coffee is why you're here: phin-brewed with condensed milk by an owner who learned it by living in Asia, not by adding it to a menu. The bookshop setting is the bonus.

A Tynemouth station bookshop where the Vietnamese iced coffee is the point.

What we love

  • Vietnamese iced coffee: phin drip with condensed milk, the owner's preparation from time spent in Asia
  • Bookshop-café inside Tynemouth station
  • The owner is conversational about the coffee if you ask

Coffee Tyne Company★★ Specialty

Tynemouth Coffee Company's single origins come with tasting notes on the menu and retail bags to take home. The place to go when you want to know what's actually in the cup.

Regular Jo's Coffee★★ Specialty

The coffee menu is more considered than the Tynemouth setting leads you to expect. House and guest bean on espresso, rotating single origins through the pour-over, batch brew on tap; go for the filter.

Cullercoats Coffee Co.★★ Specialty

Tynemouth Coffee Co. supplies the beans, hand-roasted in small batches by a local boutique operation. The Front Street address overlooks the priory, and the kitchen is serious about the food.
