Kaffeccinos, Newcastle Upon Tyne

Visited on November 10, 2007 11:30 AM

Kaffeccinos, Newcastle Upon Tyne This bustling place is a fair trade, independent coffee house in the centre of Newcastle.

The menu and posters describe Kaffeccinos as "Newcastle's Premier Independent Coffee House". This should give a hint of the strange blend of business-like bravado (not unlike Starbucks) and its homely "local roots".

I suppose this means it's just an old fashioned coffee house trying to keep up with the chains. And while it does sacrifice a little character to get there, it retains a friendly atmosphere and a distinct feel. The walls are jam packed with art and there are seats everywhere, including comfy sofas and stools by the windows for watching passers-by.

There is lots (and lots) of food available in this busy place but coffee is top of the menu, and with all those seats you shouldn't have trouble settling down for a quiet mug or two. There are cakes, muffins and so on as well. It has counter service.

Kaffeccinos isn't quaint, but it still has plenty of the things I like to see in a coffee house. It's one of the best (or maybe the best... I haven't decided yet) in Newcastle.

Willi's Coffee Shop, Jesmond, Newcastle - I didn't get a chance to visit Willi's but it looks like a good place for a coffee. If anyone would like to comment on it, please feel free.

Thank you for your observations of Kaffeccinos.
Both myself and my wife Theresa work very hard to make Kaffeccinos a place where courtesy and respect is the norm and excellent customer service is a prerequisite. We take comments very seriously and constructive critiscism is most welcome. Thank you once again and next time you visit Kaffeccinos we would be delighted to meet you
