Located along the Tyne quayside heading out of the city towards Ouseburn, I stopped for a well earned cuppa whilst participating in the Shaun on the Tyne sculpture trail in August 2023.
The café is, as the name would suggest, geared up for the cyclists many of whom where meeting here to fuel up before, during, or after there ride outs. It was notable that many often stopped here and were known by name to staff.
The staff were helpful and friendly as were the lovely patrons, of whom some advised they were regulars not of the cycling kind. They serve hot and cold drinks, snacks, cakes, scones, hot and cold sandwiches.
There's also a cycle workshop onsite for all cycling maintenance needs. Seating is available indoors and outdoors, there's a convenient kiosk on the roadside for takeaway, a cycle ride through. Plenty of cycle racks and a pay car park. Toilets are located inside that were well kept and clean.
The views were definitely my cup of tea especially with the fishing fleet moored alongside. As luck would have it the worst of the days rain fell whilst having my Earl Grey, and I was able to don my waterproofs before venturing out again!
If you're in the vicinity do pop in and see what you think. I would have no hesitation going back.
An absolutely outstanding service from the cycle hub team at our recent fundraising event. The team were just brilliant, warm,, welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. I would have no hesitation in recommending this venue and we will be back. We didn't have food from the menu but everyone enjoyed the cakes. Thank you so much!
I've been here a few times. The food is very nice if you're not after a restaurant style meal. I highly recommend the bacon sarnie. Staff are great, and there's great views of the quayside from the outside seating. This is a very popular cyclist stop, which is also good for repairs during a bike ride
