Firstly, this place is beautiful…read more It's only new but the fittings are stunning. The French antique styling of the statuettes holding the candles. The chandeliers. The table setting on the large wooden centre tables. This place would make great functions, although they're not yet doing dinners. In the centre of the cafe is a huge hole in the floor/ceiling with a view to the upstairs, stairs to the right leading upwards. The railings look elegant and from speaking to the owner I gathered there was a different plan initially which wasn't able to be done due to structural reasons. It's all a work in progress but for now, he's got himself a beautiful looking cafe. The curved padded booths were out choice of seating although there's outside too. Comfortable and relaxing with plenty of space to spread out your food. I had Eggs Benedict with my usual extras, a single pancake and a milkshake....and a coffee (I'm pregnant), and my brother had a milkshake and B+E roll. All was delicious. Service was pretty decent but they do need to be wary of when they take things away, I'm a hungry person!

If you are like me and prefer a stronger or darker roast then order an extra shot. Food is small but good - they offer mainly toasty and things. So if you are looking for a interesting variety of food, maybe don't come here. This place is quite popular so sometimes there is a delay in food as their kitchen is small - but I think it is worth the wait.

Let the Suspension coffee blend suspend you in disbelief and amazement that a hip urban oasis…read moregrinds its daily bean here in Newcastle. You shouldn't actually be surprised as Suspension is just one of a handful of culturally on-trend cafes popping up in Newcastle, and it's great to see previous disused spaces being brought back to life. We only stopped for coffee so I can't pass comment on the delicious looking menu but the coffee was well and truly up to scratch. The courtyard decorated with graffiti is the perfect place, on a sunny afternoon or morning, to pull up a pew with a good book and drink the day away. Oh, four-legged friends welcome!

I figure this account of Good Brother Espresso is best written in singular words…read more Trendy. Hipster. Coffee. Eats. Rustic. Worthwhile. But that isn't fair because Good Brother Espresso looks good and their coffee was equally so. Our time here felt like a pit stop so I didn't have as much time as I would have liked to soak up their atmosphere but it definitely felt like a cafe you could bring your laptop along to and work the morning away, or settle in to read your favourite book. The menu seemed to be pretty standard cafe fare and I'm looking forward to going back and trying more than a coffee and the delicious morsel that was a fig and date roll.

A trendy place where the staff are rude and judgmental. The hot chocolate was undrinkable and the…read moreslice was incredibly stale. The place really relies on its aesthetic more than its product and unfortunately draws the type of crowd very unwilling to share the communal table. We got tired of the rude and too-busy-chatting staff and the poor quality of food and haven't been back. ETA February 2013: I haven't had a chance to try anything yet, but it appears that there may be a change of management - the decor is much cheerier, the staff are so much happier and the menu looks very interesting and tempting. As soon as I get a chance to try it out, a new review will appear.

The bread and baked goods from here are incredible and the food is nice. At the moment we're not able to dine in so I feel as though I've not had a proper chance to try. The covid procedure is a bit of a pain in the butt, and to my mind it makes their internal procedures somethin for customers to navigate (having a baked goods order line and a food order line - I want both!) Hopefully they switch back to normal soon. But I can't fault the food, coffee and service :)
