Coffee Beans in Newcastle upon Tyne

Lovely little place. Serves a good all day breakfast that I had. Filtered coffee comes with ot and I got a free refill. Wifi is provided free, lovely little place down some steps and out of the way.

We found the Coffee Beans Cafe at the last minute on trip advisor following a mornings shopping in the rain and we were so glad we did. We received a warm welcome and our food order was soon taken. We ordered a pot of tea for 2 along with a chicken, bacon and cheese panini with a side of fries and a chicken, bacon and sweet chilli panini. The food arrived very quickly and was delicious and the brew was great and really warmed us through. Great value for money, just wished we had arrived earlier as the breakfast deal looked great. Thank you

Coffee beans is a snug friendly cafe hidden away in old Eldon square. Staff can't do enough to help, cake and drink offer is a favourite of ours, great value.

Nice atmosphere. Good toast and apple juice. Lovely staff. I'll be back soon

We been coming here mostly every week the service is not great tbh it’s equity poor there only one staff serving & one in the kitchen they look stressed when you go in this place on another hand the food is nice but service good be much better the older lady is quite grumpy she not great at customer services we waited for 30 mins to get our food changed everyone else got served that was there & we been here for an hour all we ordered was sandwiches 🥪 🙄 I only come here coz of the people I support as they like it here we still didn’t get the right oder ask for egg & tomato sandwich I duu it don’t want to complain again as I think she would be defensive so we just ate it 🤦‍♀️

Been going here for years Love baked potatoes and corned beef pie Do miss the herb scones that used to be served with the soup With all the pizza and burgers places around it's great to find a gem like this See you soon for my next visit 😊

Lovely place to sit and people watch on a nice day. Staff friendly, polite and great with the kids. Inside needs refurbishment though

I was looking for somewhere for breakfast in the centre of town and popped in before heading out on the train. The place is down some quite steep steps and isn’t as fancy as some of the cafes, etc in Jesmond and surrounding areas but the staff were friendly and the breakfast and refillable coffee was excellent value. £7.50 for a full english and coffees - I really couldn’t complain. I’d definitely go back as there’s plenty on the menu for people to enjoy.

Coffee Beans Cafe has lovely staff and food.

Called in with my wife on the way to a Hospital appointment. Ordered 2 Flat whites and a piece of cake. Cake was delicious but the coffee was as weak as dishwater. We didn't want to cause a scene so just left it on the table, and went to pay the bill. My wife mentioned to the waitress that we couldn't drink the coffee as it was too weak, she wasn't at all interested and happily charged us £9.70. No apology, no interest in our complaint so I wouldn't expect this business to last long. Avoid like the plague!

Very quiet everything else was good

This café is located in the basement of a period building and approached down some steep external steps. The coffee was okay, but certainly not barista standard. We had two lattes which cost £3.25 each. It might be more enjoyable in the summer when there is some good outside space at the top of the steps.

Quiet bijou basement café with ground floor alfresco covered dining area should the indoor be full. Not too expensive considering the varied food offering and the location. The all day breakfast was filling for £7.50, coffee was tasty. My friend enjoyed the breakfast sandwich. Staff were pleasant. Would return.

Nice, friendly cafe with lovely staff.

I like to support independent coffee shops but the coffee here is overpriced, uninspiring at best and the place looks tired and shabby.

Very good coffee shop, small & very busy but very welcoming, good food & reasonably priced. Well worth a visit

Stumbled across this lovely spot and was delighted by the experience! Very friendly staff and good service with nice coffee and a good selection of cakes available too.

Called in here on spec on bank holiday Monday 3rdJan., walked past loads of times before and never went in. Warm welcome ( no one else in at the time !), Ordered a coffee and mini cooked breakfast, lovely chat with the waitress while I waited. Brekkie freshly cooked and scrummy, brilliant value. Cosy decor for a cold winters day. Recommend!

As usual good food and good service n a nice cosy atmosphere.

Nice staff. Good for people watching if sitting outside. Lost half my cup of coffee as I didn't realise table was very wobbly. Nice tasting coffee though. Better than going to the 'big' companies. Support your independents.

One place that I missed during lockdown! Gem of a place. Lovely staff. Everything I've ever had there has been tiptop. Excellent prices

Great little cafe with lovely staff and delicious homemade food.

Good menu with plenty of variety and enjoyed the refill coffee !! Staff always very pleasant and helpful with swift service. Have returned 3 or 4 times recently. Prices are very competitive.

Excellent little cafe, with drinks and food at great prices. Friendly staff, eat inside or outside, overlooking Eldon Suare.

Ordered a bacon & sausage sandwich whilst my partner ordered a fruits scone with cream along with a cappuccino and pot of tea. Took about 20 minutes for my sandwich to come out which was very disappointing, only one very small sausage cut in half. The brown sauce I asked for came out after I had eaten the sandwich as did our drinks. People who came after us were being served their food whilst my Mrs still waited for her scone. Cappuccino was basically hot milk, very weak. Would honestly have been ordering a Greggs breakfast meal.

What a lovely place. Even though extremely busy particularly at this stage in the pandemic and a bit short on help this staff were cheerful and courteous. Absolute 5 star.

Decent food at reasonable prices.

Great little cafe, good food, reasonable prices, friendly attentive staff

Excellent service and great food

Lovely home cooked food at very reasonable prices for the city centre. Lovely friendly staff.

Not too expensive, but low quality

Excellent small breakfast until 11.30,with good coffee, for about £4. I love table service,do leave a tip. Very convenient for Eldon square,& buses. Outside seating is available..

I think this has been here for years as I remember going 15 years ago. Lots of sandwiches and toasties etc with a huge pot of tea. Only loses a star as took ages to get the bill despite there being hardly anyone in and then seeing us standing with it.

Just ever stopped for a cold drink. Staff amazingly friendly, anything to helpful.

Lovely little place with a slight feeling of the WI, highly recommended Had a panini and a beer, good food and cold beer :)

Always fresh food and friendly staff

Coffee Beans , food delicious coffee always piping hot (not always the case in other establishments)Location great and lovely friendly staff ,love this place

this was a first visit a place known to my friends I cannot praise enough the quality of the breakfast at a amazing price the staff were very pleasant will return for sure

Great staff, very welcoming, great homemade cakes too.

Lovely freshly made snacks and meals all served with a drink of your choice including alcoholic. Home made soups highly recommended.

Food is cooked to perfection and the staff are so friendly. Love it here.

Last time I was here was about 10years ago with my gran, I popped in today, hasn't changed a bit staff are still lovely and polite, good coffee, food still fresh and tasty. Brought back lovely memories. Would highly recommend.

I would of gave them 5 stars if the did fresh chips or potato's. Table service would of been great specially for us oldies. Staff were great, they went out of their way. Prices good, no smoking area a added bonus to.

Good full English breakfast mmmm Great food and friendly staff 🇬🇧👍 Easy access from main street and wheelchair accessible along with value for money

Small local cafe in the heart of Newcastle. Staff very friendly and lovely homemade food. Very tasty broth!

Nice Cafe with great coffee and food with very polite staff.

Friendly. Good quality food.good prices

Coffee Beans is in a lovely location, right in the heart of Newcastle City Centre. The staff are lovely and the breakfast is always very tasty. Well worth a visit.

Busy traditional cafe, doing simple things very well. The mince pie and chips here was home made and delicious, pea and ham soup likewise. Decent cup of coffee too.

Called in twice in a week. Once for a quick snack and a cuppa early afternoon then returned to try the famous mini-breakfast before 11.30 which one of the ladies recommended. You get a really warm welcome from all of the very friendly staff and it's great value as well. The mini-breakfast for £3.25 is just astounding. I don't know how they do it for the price. It includes a plate of toast and tea or coffee Just amazing.

Being regulars here for years our last couple of visits have been a let down but we gave it one last go, but were so disappointed, dirty tables, dirty cutlery and very poor service, very poor quality panini's we won't be back any time soon

Siempre nos visita granos de café cuando en Newcastle, ya que el personal es muy amable, el servicio es bueno incluso cuando mucha gente, y la comida está siempre recién preparada, bien servido y caliente. Visitamos el sábado y nos las arreglamos para conseguir una mesa, pero nos desanimó un poco el grupo de mujeres muy ruidoso sábado alrededor de una de las mesas de tejer. Tenían bolsas de cosas todo y es sólo una pequeña cafetería y, por desgracia, uno de las mujeres no tenía control de volumen y se oía todo el café. No estoy seguro de si era una cosa normal o un café, pero cuando este es tan ocupado, no estoy seguro de 4 mujeres debería poder realizar una bebida caliente dura mucho, tome una mesa valiosas que otros clientes que pagan podría ser usando. Fue un poco desagradable y que no podía esperar a salir y lejos de la sirena. Espero que no se allí la próxima vez que visitemos. La comida era una vez más, excelente.

We often call in here for a quick lunch or coffee and cake, but if we can make it before 11.30 we always have a mini breakfast, bacon, sausage, fried egg, tomato, beans and mushrooms with toast and a cuppa all for £3.50 (which is the price of a coffee in some places !!!) and all without compromising the excellent quality of produce. The food is all freshly cooked (try the homemade corned beef pie, delicious) and staff are all really friendly. A great place tucked away from the hustle and bustle of busy Newcastle centre.

On a damp day we popped in here intending to have coffee and cake, which my friends did, but I was tempted by the food menu and the waitress recommended their freshly cooked pies, so I ended up having corned beef pie, which was served with some peas and very nice chips. It was very tasty, and certainly looked home made. My friends enjoyed the coffee and walnut cake. It's a small place down some stairs in a basement, but well worth seeking out.

When you're tired of bruschetta or artisanal whatever's I'd really recommended you try this cafe. It's a more traditional place (in the good sense): good, honest, jacket potatoes, soup, sandwiches and coffee at decent prices.

On a dismal cold and rainy day I discovered Coffee Beans. What a delight! The cake is excellent! Delightful company as well.

I visited coffee beans on the 5th December 2015 .The food was delicious and lots to choose from.The staff were polite and friendly.and the prices were reasonableI will make the Coffee Beans my first port of call on my next trip to Newcastle . A good experience

This little gem in Old Eldon Square is a great place to chill out with either friends family or alone. Food is brilliant and home made mice pie fab. Lasagne is to die for and the sweets are just yummy. Staff are brilliant friendly and accomodating. Coffee refill a good selection of wines either by the bottle or glass. On a sunny day lovely to sit outside and watch the world go by.

This little cafe is tucked away in a sheltered part of Eldon Sq. perfect place in the sun to enjoy a beer and watch the too and fro of people. But odd that you have to go into a pockey little kitchen down a flight of stone steps to order and pay up front - very odd. But on the + side it's really good value actually. Worth it for a beer in the sun.

Nice to have a beer or a latter here in the sun out of the wind and tucked away in Eldon square. Very good value. On a warm day you can sit here and watch the world go by.

This hidden gem downstairs in Old Eldon Square is great value for money. The food is varied, tasty and good sized portions. There are snacks ( toasties, sandwiches, jacket potatoes) or meals ( scampi, corned beef pies, curry and rice) just to name a few. The desserts are scrummy and the cakes are to. The staff are lovely and so accommodating. I have been coming here a long time now and love the place for a fast and efficient value for money lunch in Newcastle. They also sell alcohol, and have an outdoor seating area with smoking and non smoking section.

This costa is the best I have been in, so friendly and such a good atmosphere.The staff are very friendly and a special mention to the uni student Josh who gives such customer service, actually has a conversation with you, not like some coffe shop where the staff are like robots!I recommend this costa the place to go in Newcastle.

a lovely little cafe in 'old' Eldon Square, good slection of meals and snacks, it has a large seating area outside but it also has a smaller outdoor seating area, by the entrance which is a non smoking area

One of the best places in Newcastle to sit outside (when the weather permits) with a nice cup of coffee, or a glass of wine. Adjacent but slightly detached from the street if sitting outside, it is a great place to just sit in and relax as the world moves around you. One of my favourite places.

Delicious food, pleasant and efficient waitresses. Cafe is downstairs in basement of building and space is a bit cramped as chairs are rather big (however, once you are seated they are very comfortable). In nice weather you can sit outside at ground level under parasols. Price for mug of good coffee includes a refill. Lovely place for a quick lunch or break while shopping.

This little cafe is in a basement, small and cosy. Good atmosphere. Very good food. We had paninis which were tasty and fresh. There was a blackboard with specials on. The staff were very polite. The food was served well presented and hot.

went to coffee beans for a bite to eat whilst on a shopping trip ordered a panini which was delicious would definetly go back and would recommend to everybody service and food was amazing could not fault a thing.

Decided to try here for a catchup lunch with friends and although it was really busy it was a good choice. Great pot of tea and coffee was refilled. Two baked potato's with fillings were enjoyed and the lentil soup was homemade and delicious. If there is a down side it is only that there is very little space and because we were seated near the front our chairs had to be moved on a few occasions to allow people to push past. Also there was an almighty draft coming in each time the door was opened, so if possible sit near the back to avoid this. Despite this the food was delicious and the service spot on so we will be back. It is obviously a very popular place and deservedly so with the good old fashioned hospitality.

Went here for a break from shopping and to recharge our batteries. Service is excellent. Staff are very helpful and polite. My friend ordered a panini and loved it. Would definitley go back and would 100% recommend it to others.

The lasagne came recommended & it was one of the best I've had - and I've been to Italy several times. Coffee was good & I received a free top-up without having to ask. Service was efficient & professional, even though the cafe was full. The heating was on and the cafe was cosy & relaxing. Hence I'd definately recommend this cafe & return again myself!

often visit this little gem decor a bit dated but food always good value and very good, staff always friendly and helpfull

This is such a good coffee shop that I have had to do a review.Such friendly staff and so helpful.I go in here quite a lot and have conversations with all the members of staff, Josh stands out to me as we chat quite a lot. What a freindly happy helpful young man who tells me he works there whilst at University.I feel I can sit there with my lunch or just a coffee and do not feel pressured to leave.What a gem this place is.Well done to yiou all

It is a small basement cafe with only 9 or 10 tables inside (more space outside at street level when the weather is fine) and has some scary stairs going down to it, but the food is good with no frills, The staff are friendly and efficient, the food is freshly cooked and reasonably priced. I recommend the paninis which are lovely and crisp, but I've not had anything from the menu that hasn't been up to standard.

I have visited this place regularly over the years and I can honestly say it is one of my favorite places for lunch or tea.There are daily specials under six quid for a meal such as corned beef pie peas and chips ,lasagne or curry and the homemade broth is delicious My personal favorite is the toasted cheese tomato and onion muffin.Allin all a lovely clean friendly place to while away the day with lovely food.So nice to visit somewhere not part of a big chain of restaurants.

Although it is only a small cafe there is a good selection of tasty food available on the menu besides several beverages hot and cold.All food is cooked to order so small wait but at least it is fresh.The staff are very pleasant and helpful.There is also a small outside dining area for anybody wanting a cigarette after a meal etc although as a non smoker we did not get to appreciate the lovely weather as there was a lot of smokers.

I have been in this coffee shop for which I was very impressed. However, I was in last Saturday and ordered for three people. To start with we ordered drinks, soup and sandwiches. When the drinks were been served, hot chocolate was spilt over my daughter for which the staff were very apologetic. So we overlooked that. When the rest of the food was served, I ordered a club sandwich. When it arrived, I noticed a large long hair nestled in between the toasted club sandwich and the salad. I therefore returned the sandwich, for which I got another apology. I was informed that it would be replaced in about 5 to 10 minutes. After about a minute had gone by and another waitress served me my sandwich. I had noticed before I had returned the last sandwich that on the plate was a bit of burnt toast and to my discust I noticed the same burnt toast on the 2nd plate. I asked the waitress, was this the same sandwich and she said no. I am convince that it was as it wouldnt have taken a minute to rustle up another club toasted sandwich with the salad trimmings. I returned the 2nd sandwich and decided I didnt want to have anything else there. When we got the bill, I couldnt believe that they and made no reductions what so ever as a gesture of good will. I paid the bill as I didnt want to make any more fuss. I will never be going back to the place. I was very disappointed with the service given and the dreadfull hairy food.
