Blakes Coffee House, Newcastle

Although not particularly "cosy", Blakes is a treasure trove of coffees from around the world and is highly recommended.

It's like a rustic American bar, but alcohol-free. Coffee is the order of the day; the closest thing you'll get to a stiff drink is one of the stronger international grinds.

It's a bustling place which also has a large choice of light bites.

Blakes, Newcastle

When out and about in central Newcastle, Blakes is a perfect spot to rest heavy shopping bags and take in a pick-me-up. It's a caffeine oasis which has found a niche.

I'd love to see more places like this..... in place of generic city centre pubs perhaps?

Welcome to Cosy Coffee Shops, a blog dedicated to seeking out terrific independent coffee houses. Some are particularly comfy and relaxing, some serve outstanding coffee, some have both. Most serve drinks that are ethically sourced (for example, Fairtrade). We've visited everywhere at least once. Read more about this blog...
