About The Dispensary Coffee House + Eatery

A science-lab theme runs through this Newcastle brunch spot, and it's more than decoration — the drip iced coffee arrives with a burette you titrate yourself, and maple syrup comes in a syringe, which buys you a good ten minutes of a child's full attention. The pancakes are the thing to order; several people call them the finest in the city, and the white chocolate ones get particular love. Portions are genuinely enormous, so consider sharing with a smaller child. Service is quick and staff are patient and smiling, which matters when someone's fidgeting. Two honest snags: the minimal, hard-edged design means tables sit close together, so a pram will need careful placing, and it's pricier than an everyday café. It fills up hard between 10 and 12 — book, or arrive before ten.
