The Cycle Hub

Cycle Hub, Newcastle I visited Cycle Hub today for a breakfast brunch and a relaxing coffee. With the lovely weather, it was the perfect time to try it, especially since they have a fantastic outdoor seating area right next to the Tyne River. The interior features modern chipboard with a chic finish, offering a contemporary yet inviting feel. The selection includes cakes, J-potatoes, and both warm and cold sandwiches. I had the bacon, brie, and cranberry sandwich along with a caramel latte, which came to £10.52. Considering the generous portion size of the sandwich, served in a soft, long roll, I thought this was very reasonable. The coffee was exceptional—creamy, smooth, and sweet, with beautiful latte art. My only feedback would be that the sandwich could’ve been a bit warmer as it felt the bacon was prepared and placed in the sandwich after but still a enjoyable sandwich. The staff were incredibly friendly, both inside and out. We moved inside due to the weather, and Lynn was very welcoming, even offering a free sausage for our dog and giving her a warm greeting. This kind of hospitality goes a long way for dog owners. The gentleman who served me, though I didn’t catch his name, was also very friendly and made sure I didn’t feel rushed or pushed out. Overall, it’s a great stop if you’re walking along the river in Newcastle, especially if you're near Ouseburn, as it's only about 15 minutes from the start of the path. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be back again. They also host a hub for cyclists with a repair centre, though I haven’t used this service, so I can’t comment on it. There are toilets available, and parking is pay-and-display, managed by the local council
