What we love

  • Coffee-literate regulars benchmark the flat white against Mr Woods and Cullercoats Coffee Company, and rate it favourably
  • Latte art on the cup; trained technique at the bar
  • Food-first venue where the coffee earns its place without leaning on the kitchen

no fret★★ Specialty

Rotates beans from four roasters at any one time. The kind of sourcing discipline that separates it cleanly from a standard espresso bar and gives regulars a reason to come back.

Relish★★ Specialty

The owner roasts on-site and will talk you through the process. Turkish coffee is on the menu, prepared and explained as a matter of course.

Rustic Cup★★ Specialty

Whitley Bay's first specialty coffee shop, opened by owners who trained in Florence on espresso and pour over. Retail single origin bags on the shelf, and the SCA grading scale explained on-site for anyone paying attention.
