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.

Cullercoats Coffee Co.★★ Specialty

Tynemouth Coffee Co. supply the beans, small-batch from their own boutique roastery and delivered next-day. The sourcing outclasses most of Whitley Bay, and the espresso programme delivers on it.
