We’re not just a coffee shop, we’re a vibrant community with people at the centre.

We serve epic coffee, great banter, and good, healthy, hearty food seven days a week from our little haven in the centre of Whitley Bay. Whether you need an early morning (caffeinated) handwarmer, a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, or a relaxed sundowner at the end of the week, we’d really love to have you with us.

We’re paying back the hospitality we received from total strangers during our once-in-a-lifetime bike trip.

We’re a cosy little spot and want to make sure everyone has the best possible experience when visiting us. To help us plan ahead and welcome you properly, we kindly ask that all booking requests are made by calling the shop directly.

To book, please call us on 0191 429 7800
(We're unable to take same-day bookings to keep space available for walk-ins.)

When you call, we’ll need just a few details to help us get everything just right:
– How many people are coming
– Whether you’ll have any prams or dogs with you
– And if everyone in your group is happy to climb stairs (as our upstairs seating is accessed by stairs only)

We really appreciate you taking the time to call ahead. It helps us stay organised and keeps things feeling relaxed and welcoming for everyone—just how we like it.

Looking forward to seeing you soon
