I couldn’t say nicer things about this hidden gem! Lovely food and the best service in Newcastle. A MUST visit
One of the best spots to have a nice coffee or healthy drink!! Cozy and stylish inside with very nice view! Delicius snacks! But the best part is the owners!! We just love them!!!!
Fabulous food, super friendly staff and great value for money. We'll definitely be back. Good luck in your new venture
Absolutely lovely little cafe. Three of us each tried a different dish - soup, sandwich and a savoury loaf - and every one was superb. The guys running couldn’t have been more pleasant and helpful, which helps create a friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Will be returning very soon ���
Nice, cozy place for a tea or coffee and a snack! Lovely views at Northumberland street from windows and the owners are very friendly! I will be visiting regulary with my friends!
A wonderful oasis of calm in the city centre with some very delicious cakes. So much nicer than the big chain coffee shops. Definately on the list of go again places.

Great location, great views, great service , excellent coffee and cake
Very nice vibe right next to hay market metro station. Traditional Greek coffee with one shot was nice but the rosemary cake was just on the average level. Generally it was a canny cafe in city center.
One of my favorite places in Newcastle, the staff are lovely, the food is healthy and mostly organic ( which is what I’m looking for) every single dish that I’ve tasted was good,even their drinks! I recommend the soups that they serve they are to die for😍
One of the best secret spots in Newcastle.
I've been a few times and never been disappointed. The view is awesome, the space is cozy with a relaxed vibe. The owner is Greek and is lovely, last time I went, I mostly interacted with a Dutch guy who prepared our food and coffee - he gave great recommendations, was so easy to chat to and was so passionate about the food. Plenty of great vegan choices. You can't not love this place. Highly recommend whatever soup they do.
The coffee is always 10/10.

TL;DR - central location, great views, interesting menu, excellent service, amazing food and drinks, good prices!
Meli cafe is a wonderful spot hidden away in a central location. It's located opposite Haymarket, up a few flights of stairs (lift available). Inside there are two seating areas, with one of them being particularly bright and airy, and having lovely views over Northumberland Street below (though it can get a little noisy when the windows are open and the bustle of the high street can be heard).
The drinks menu has plenty of choice. In addition to the typical cafe options, there are various specialty teas, unique hot drinks and iced coffees, plus of course the Greek coffee. There are vegetarian paninis and various homemade sweet and savoury baked goods. The owner is very friendly and happy to talk through the menu. The prices are very reasonable too, especially considering the city centre location. They also have a loyalty stamp system where you can get a free drink after a certain number of stamps.
The paninis, cakes and coffees are excellent. In particular the cheddar and apple scone is delicious. Also try the orange and semolina cake!
Overall, a delightful place to chill and read a book with a coffee, or to hang out with friends, or to spend time with family. Totally recommended!
Hidden gem. When we discovered Meli Cafe, it was under refurbishment for several months, but it was totally worth the wait.
The owners are really lovely, and the cafe's got a great view. The cake we tried tasted rich and spectacular as well.
This place offers a good laté (not super strong), great service, and a cute, cozy atmosphere. Don't forget to try their yummy cake fudge – a nice touch to the overall experience.
Really lovely staff, tasty very fresh cakes and well presented hot drinks but limited hot food menu and extra for a side salad. Would definitely recommend for those just looking for a nice piece of cake and views of Haymarket tucked away from Northumberland street
Great wee cafe hidden away, definitely worth hunting it out.
Food was lovely, staff extremely friendly and helpful, accommodated our teens making paninis up not on the menu.
Cafe Meli was clean and very welcoming. Coffee was best we've ever had. Prices in line with quality of the food; paninis x 4, coffee x 4 and 2 cakes £40.
Highly recommended 👌
Such a cozy place with a nice view! It is quite, which makes it suitable for studying/work or reading a book. The staff is so friendly and helpful!
The dessert that I ordered, Clementine and Almond cake, reminds me of Portokalopita 🍊 But not that sweet and without that much syrup, which hits the spot! 🥰
Definateltly recommend the place!
Meli is the best cafe in all of Newcastle. It’s like stepping into a Greek Island cafe…. with a lovely view, a distant sea breeze,and the most incredible selections of exotic coffees, teas, hot chocolates… and Cakes! You have to try the Cakes! And the soup! Definitely the soup! I’ve included a pic of the hot chocolate with spices and the oat milk matcha.
Can’t say enough good things… just come and try everything!
