Restaurant · Newcastle upon Tyne
Coffee is the headline here — flat whites and mochas pulled properly, with the milk done right, and more than one regular calls it some of the finest in Newcastle. That matters when you're up early with children and need something to work. The sandwiches are worth the slightly higher price too; the pesto one gets particular praise, and breakfast and the bakes hold their own. It's a small, relaxed independent with a warm, welcoming feel and genuinely lovely decor, and the owners are the sort who make a fuss of you. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, plus vegan options, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to park a pram rather than wedging it between tables. Worth knowing: it's little, so it can feel tight at busy times — and grab a loyalty card while you're at it.
