Flat Caps Coffee in Newcastle upon Tyne

Avocado on toast is a must try. Amazing place and the staff.

Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful food, great place to work and study with lots of space. Coffee was also great. 10/10

Out of the way coffee shop with lots of space for kids to run around. Delicious coffee and cakes.

The place and coffee are great but I was disappointed with my food. I ordered their Mexican bean rancheros and the beans were dry and cold. Wouldn’t order this again.

The atmosphere was welcoming with a bohemian vibe. Turkish Eggs seemed perfectly cooked although drowned in seeds. There was little fruit to temper the bitterness of the seeds. The snack seemed very overpriced for two poached eggs and two slices of flatbread. Iced latte presented in a short tumbler with lots of ice giving the appearance of cloudy water; which was not particularly appetising!

Delicious espresso. Yummy food. Really enjoyed the Turkish eggs.

Excellent coffee. Food tasty too. Loads of seating options- small tables, large tables, stools, sofas. A good place to do a bit of laptop work. Now has a drinks licence and many more tables in an adjacent room.

This was a lovely place. I think it’s a nice place to study , very chilled and relaxed atmosphere. Not super fancy looking but cozy and friendly. Food was delicious and super tasty. Coffee was good too. Maybe not my favorite but nice! They had a Brazilian blend :) thank you!

A great establishment with an ironic name.

The food is fantastic! Came for breakfast and had the best sausage stottie ever! Also ordered the Mexican breakfast dish. The prices reflect the quality. Very chilled place too.

The food here is unique and something I could have everyday and not get sick off. All the ingredients are fresh and they clearly have professionals in the kitchen. I don’t know how but the coffee is also great quality with plenty of option to chose from. I wish I was rich so I could eat here everyday.

The breakfasts here are absolutely delicious! I tried the Turkish eggs, and they were incredible - so flavorful and perfectly cooked. The interior is another highlight: set slightly underground, it’s spacious and styled in a cozy loft design that adds warmth and charm to the whole experience 🩶☕️

Fui a tomar un pequeño bocadillo (sándwich de club) y una taza de Earl Grey. El lugar estaba bien decorado con personal amable y me sirvieron rápidamente Cuando tomé mi primer bocado mi voz interna se convirtió en Jules de la ficción pulp. "Mmmhmmm. . . ahora ESTE es un sabroso sandwich" No duró mucho y ahora estoy triste ya que no tengo más sandwich. Aunque estoy lleno, así que tal vez otra no es una buena idea.

Lovely cafe. Nice staff, cozy atmosphere. Food was good, I had the Turkish eggs. I did find them quite pricey for the amount you got. I added a sausage and it was £18. A bit steep for lunch but was very tasty.

A spacious and welcoming space, where to eat and spend a good time with friends. You can eat both sweet and savory, ideal for a good brunch. All the tables have sockets to be able to charge the mobile phone or work with the laptop.

Really nice & cosy place with friendly staff

What a gem!!! Well done chefs, friendly service quality coffee!!!

What a charming, cool, not-so-tiny, spot this is. A little off the beaten track from the high streets, but well worth the few minutes walk. Friendly service, ambient tunes, good looking speciality coffee options. I had a very decent flat white, and a breakfast stottie with bacon and egg, and an added sausage, which seemed steep at £10+£5 for the sausage, but wow! Top quality ingredients, and a lot of them. One of the best brekkie sarnies I've ever had. Top notch. Will definitely call back next time I'm in town. Noice. Very, very noice!

Genial para veganos. Un poco fuera del centro de la ciudad, pero muy bien situado al lado del albergue / hotel Kabannas. Desayuné dos veces aquí. Disfrutó del aguacate marroquí en tostadas (muy llenas) y coliflor al horno y hachís de patata Bombay (sustituían los huevos por feta vegana). También tiene buen té y café.

Excelente comida y servicio. Valorado un par de veces y realmente lo disfruté. Montones de asientos atrás. El servicio fue rápido y amable.

Absolute brilliant coffee, they clearly know their stuff. Loved the vibe too 👍

The shakshuka had an huge overload of seeds and nuts on top and I couldn’t see the eggs. There was very little yoghurt used, also everything was freezing as soon as it arrived including the coffee. The cake was very dry too. Also I ordered bacon with the shakshuka and it was rock hard and I could barely chew it. My partner got French toast but it actually tasted ‘eggy’ and seemed more savoury than sweet. The staff were lovely but it was clear to see there was one tiny understaffed kitchen with a mass amount of seating which was around 80% full and staff running around trying to keep on top of everything. The atmosphere was very dark and you couldn’t decipher the style they were going for. The premises was actually lovely just needed some TLC.

Now on my list of places to go to for lunch in Newcastle- or when working get take out from Great food and coffee- lovely staff Great online ordering service Worked really well

Lovely staff, great food, worth the price. Had breakfast here three of my four days in Newcastle.

Best cup of coffee I’ve ever tasted! And the (ginger & apple cake) is outstanding-full of warm flavors. I looove the concept of an open kitchen and the cozy, inviting vibes here. 10/10 experience, I’ll definitely be back!

Cute coffee shop with great coffee

U come out smelling like fried good. Shakshouka very dry at times and sometimes done ok. I always stick with turkish eggs. Gluten free toast available Lovely green decor Edit- shakshouka may have been removed when I went recently- sorry dint notice as I stopped looking for it. There are many other great alternatives anyway and great coffee :) just hope the smell thing gets sorted so we can nip in between work and have something and not go back with the fried smell.

Nos fuimos temprano después de ser ignorados durante 15 minutos. Algunos miembros del personal se quedaron charlando, tomando una copa, caminando junto a nosotros. Por esos precios espero al menos un servicio adecuado. Qué vergüenza... la comida parecía y sonaba increíble. Ahora estamos en Blakes sentado fuera, pero mucho más amable. Para cuando termine esta revisión, ya nos han servido. La misma cantidad de tiempo que estuvimos de pie en diminuto.

Had a cappuccino and the Gloucestershire sausage stottie. The sausage was really high quality and clearly had a high meat content - you pay for what you get. Really good value for money in my opinion. The service was also outstanding, as well as the interior. Would highly recommend.

I will come again. Everything was amazing, thank you!

TinyTiny is one of my favorite spots, especially because of their convenient and efficient online ordering system through a QR code. It makes the whole process so easy and smooth! The food is always fresh, and the quality is consistently excellent. Their coffee is great every time too. Whether you’re dining in or taking away, the experience is always pleasant. Highly recommend!

One of the best brunches I’ve ever had. Everything amazing 👌🏻🙌🏻

I decided to pass several other brunch/breakfast establishments and make a beeline for Tiny Tiny, having visited several times in the past. The thing that struck me most was the increase in price. Tiny Tiny - the bill was not. Turkish eggs for £14. Using "heritage" eggs does not justify the price. I actually ordered the Continental Club sandwich and *really* fancied those "heritage" eggs so paid £2 per egg for two poached eggs on the side. I'm guessing that they were poached in water with a hefty dash of premium artisinal cianti red wine vinegar. Vinegar for poaching - ruined the taste of those pricey eggs. The food no longer justifies the price increase across the menu for me.

Fab place to eat, drink and get a little work done. Slightly off the beaten path, but that’s what keeps it special.

Vino por una taza de té. Bonito entorno cuando entras por primera vez, pero cuando miras de cerca todo está sucio. El “bar de cerveza” al lado del que estábamos estaba sentados era espeso con polvo, radiador sucio y los baños eran mucosos. Realmente sugiero limpiar el lugar

This place was a real find. Coffees are amazing and staff super friendly. The breakfast sourdough toast with avocado and chic peas and spices was incredible. Definitely worth visiting!

Slightly more formal than the usual for a basement coffee shop. Good though.

I went here twice, ordering a pour over each time and Turkish eggs and Moroccan avocado (I added poached eggs as extra). Both dishes were absolutely delicious. Very unique flavours and big portions. Slightly on the pricey side, but still was worth it in my opinion to experience the new flavours and something different during my short visit to Newcastle. Very glad I found this place. If I lived there this would be my go-to for coffee as it was very well brewed and by far the best coffee during my trip. Up there with the best specialty coffee I've had in other cities. I wish I had a chance to try the brew bar but it wasn't open during my visits.

Basic but atmospheric restaurant with very tasty food.

We found this place accidentally while browsing GoogleMaps for a brunch place and oh boy, what an absolute gem! Food is amazing (Moroccan eggs with avocado and spicy sausage is a must), great coffee, nice vibe but above all amazing staff! We were attended by Callum and Emilia who were super friendly, quick, professional and knowledgable to advise about the food. We ended up staying for a cake (both carrot cake and Bakewell tarts are worth trying) and tea to just chill and read a book. I wish this place was in London, I would have become a regular visitor. Full heartedly recommended <3

Wonderful staff and service, dog friendly and incredible food. Great for veggies too!!

Great place to work, excellent food, can be quite noisy but is tolerable. Turkish Eggs and avocado/egg on toast are unreal.

Beautiful space, but understaffed. Poor waitress was all alone, we were asked to grab our own menus, had to order ourselves online, and couldn't use cash because of this. Hire more staff please, theres enough clients to cover the cost. Your cafe is otherwise lovvvvely. 🙏

Great breakfast.. I loved the porridge

Great breakfast.. I loved the porridge

The atmosphere is quite nice and people are very friendly. However did not enjoy my breakfast dish today (Turkish Eggs) I thought it had too many elements that did not match together. I have tried the same recipe in different variations so quite well aware of the different ways to make it. But there were just too many spices and ingredients. The dried apricots are not acidic enough for the dish. Should have been replaced with pomegranate perhaps. Too many nuts with strong flavor, recommend stick to one type. There is no need for the 5 spices with sesame. I barely finished the two eggs (after digging for it beneath the heavy spice / nut carpet) And could not even enjoy the dish. The cold brew was good. Overall pricing was slightly above average imo. I paid 20 pounds for a drink and eggs. Which I think is expensive

Really lovely cafe with lots of seating. Great place to go for breakfast/brunch - also good for working / reading/ solo dates.

Americano coffee was perfection - food was delicious - mouth watering flavours.

One of my favorites in Newcastle! Great food and lovely atmosphere.

The food itself is OK, probably a 7/10. But honestly it feels like a total rip off. The pricing is crazy. Breakfast for two, with 4 coffees was £50. It’s pretty decent food, but £50 for breakfast? The dish in the photo is Mexican bean rancheros with sausage. £15.

I use a walker, after informing the staff. They let me in tiny tiny using the side door with a ramp to get in. Lovely service. Sausage roll was delicious! Mocha and the brownie was lovely! Definitely visiting again!

Popped in for a quick brekky and cappuccino this morning, had the Moroccan avo on toast which was divine! And grabbed one of their to-go lunches (smoked bacon sandwich, yogurt and granola, and crisps for £10 great deal!). The service from the girls was lovely, if I’m ever in Newcastle again I know where I’ll be stopping!

Superb quality food. Would highly recommend, worth the walk to. Help independents.

Very tasty food. Kind staff. Plenty of space. Will definitely be back! :)

Friendly welcome. Super tasty food and large portion well worth the price!

The food was incredible. Staff very friendly.

Fabulous food Fabulous coffee! Fabulous staff Overall..... You guessed it. It's fabulous!

This rather large cafe has flavourful food and great service. I dont spend a lot of time on this site if town,but Tiny Tiny is worth it. We went with our newborn and they helped us through the side door. Then gave us a table with good space to have the pram next to it and not get in the way. The place was huge, calm and full of plants. I ordered the mexican beans and my husband the Turkish Eggs. The food came quickly, was so tasty, but also light and filling. My husband enjoyed the house coffee. Would definitely recommend for everyone. It mostly had students hanging out, but it accommodates everyone.

Great cafe! Food was amazing and coffee was perfect. The team were also extremely friendly. Will be back!

Our absolute favourite. Best brunch in Newcastle. Great staff, food and vibe.

I could not recommend this place any more. Great place ! I love coming back here, sometimes even by myself. They have the best avocado in toast I ever had in any cafe. They always add extra touch to it and taste so delicious! Today I have decided to try their special coffee menu. It was my first time try so I have asked for the recommendation. I got recommended natural, parama geisha. In beginning I was quite sceptic, as fruity coffee.. how can it be tasty ? And some special brewing method .. why would it be any better than normal brewed coffee ? After today’s experience, I can say openly worth a try! The coffee had the comforting taste with the element of sweet and sour. Never had anything like that. The brewing showcase was quite interesting, the gentleman took me through the process and described different types of roasting and different tastes, which was really educational. If you like your coffee and want to try something new , it’s much recommended ! The experience is really worth it ! Cafe generally has really nice ambience, relaxing music and WiFi if you need to finish your work as well :p

I love everything about Tiny Tiny; it's a lovely chilled inclusive space, the food is always great, the coffee is ALWAYS great and the whole team are lovely. Being in the same building as my office I feel quite spoiled, the ease with which I can get a great coffee at any point.

Proper good coffee, great food and amazing service. Fully recommend!

Nice place to chill with friends! And they have great brunch.

I like this place. Nice coffee and the food is always really good. It's not cheap however but where is now...? Cool retro vibe and staff friendly enough.

Lovely cafe cosy atmosphere. But unfortunately the service was extremely slow (they basically forgot. The coffee tasted off and was cold by the time they brought it to me.

During my visit to Newcastle, my friend introduced me to Tiny Tiny, a cozy specialty coffee shop in Carliol Square. We shared the Block & Bottle smoked streaky bacon and fried egg stottie, which featured local dry-cured smoked streaky bacon, a heritage fried egg, and onion ketchup. The portion was generous, and the flavors were incredible, making it a memorable dish. The coffee was also outstanding, perfectly complementing the hearty breakfast. For those unfamiliar, a stottie (or stotty) is a type of bread originating from North East England. It's a round, flat loaf with a heavy, dense texture. The name comes from the Geordie word "stot," which means to bounce, referring to the bread's thick and robust consistency. Traditionally, stotties were baked on the floor of the oven, giving them a distinctive texture and flavor that makes them perfect for hearty fillings. Tiny Tiny's warm ambiance, excellent service, and quality offerings make it a must-visit spot in Newcastle, especially for coffee and brunch lovers.

i cant lie this place is so gentrified its insane… why is there apricots and walnuts on the turkish eggs???? WHY SO MANY???? when i sent it to my turkish friend she just said “white ppl…” IT COST £14 MIND YOU! oh and £4.50 for 2 sausages…. so for £18 you can get 2 eggs, a pile of walnuts and apricot and a tiny bit of yoghurt. There was more walnuts than yoghurt. Oh, and its £1 if you want chocolate on your latte, so an iced mocha is £5 ! listen this is worse pricing than london. I just cant believe how much they charge. they asked if we wanted to tip before we had got our food. just insane pricing for Newcastle edit because the owner got mad: I did a geography degree, I know what gentrification is. I also have worked in 2 coffee shops over tbe last 2 years, i love making a mocha!! i work in service so know how much it struggles. i also know, during a cost of living crisis, that eating out is a luxury for many and i reserve the right to be outraged by prices :) we were sat outside so we had to pay first and were asked to tip. you should look up reverse racism because you dont seem to understand it. have a nice day!

It was really great especially if you like working in a coffee shop. There is a lot of space and it is also great for a friend go out.

Always friendly and good food. Thanks.

Best coffee I’ve had yet in Newcastle.

Such a welcoming and comfortable place, the food is outstanding, the staff are happy even when busy, fantastic coffee too!! A real mix of customers, if it’s possible to be laid-back and super efficient at the same time, these guys always manage it! The cinnamon bun is the best I’ve ever tasted. Newcastle is packed with some great places to eat,Tiny Tiny remains a firm favourite, it’s refreshing to see an independent business deliver great food and perfect service, with its own personality and charm, an absolute must visit when in the city!

Lovely morning spent having coffee and cake!! There’s plenty of parking outside and the good thing was that this place is open early on Sunday morning! The GF pistachio and cherry Bakewell was so delicious and light. The crumpets were also well made and scrummy! The coffee was flavoursome too!! It’s also dog friendly and they have our little dog a water bowl! Lots of tables and sofa areas, so you didn’t feel squashed in!

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Calm and cosy. Lots of vegan options : 💯

Over priced food, limited menu, rude kitchen staff who were inflexible and unaccomodating. Also very weird there’s a different menu for take away and we weren’t allowed to have anything on that menu in the cafe (even if we paid more to eat in). A very disappointing, expensive breakfast. The menu is now very egg orientated so not much if you don’t like eggs. And no sweet options other than porridge or pastry.

Chorizo, mozzarella & chimichurri toastie it's a new dish at Tiny Tiny cafe. You should try it, it's delicious.

Coffee was nice. A bit busy, even the area was quite spacious but still don’t have many sit available in rush hours. Service was ok, not welcoming, but ok. You’ll get what you ask for.

Delicious food, amazing space with loads of seats and places to work on laptop, friendly staff - really enjoyed spending my day here! 😊

I think my second Huevos Rancheros at Tiny Tiny. It was lovely; eggs, guacamole, beans, bread and salsa, spiced just about perfectly for me. I used to live in Arizona, so had lots of opportunities to try similar dishes, this beat them all. Coffee and staff were great too!

Only just discovered this place today but got to say I was pleased that I did. Coffee was excellent and so was the food. Staff were really pleasant and.very helpful👌

Amazing coffee, amazing service, amazing food. Decent tunes too. Top place to go for breakfast or brunch. Can't wait to be back.

It was a Large venue and very cute aesthetic place, the wood was fresh and delicious and you could tell it was of quality, the prices are more on the expensive side but I do feel like the price reflects the quality and portion of food which is really good, they sell coffee and cakes as well, food is well presented, and their menu is a bit different from usual brunch spots which I like, they also catered to dietary requirements as most things were already gluten free and/or vegetarian or vegan, however it was slow to order but that was the only downside. All in all, it was a great place :)

I love this place. Best coffee house in the ‘Toon’. Great coffee and food, and wonderful friendly atmosphere.

Brilliant. Modern, great food and coffee

Sadly since the expansion it’s just not it anymore. Went there for the last time on a Sunday for a drink and brunch. Very busy place, which has been the case in the past but the waiting staff seemed simply stressed and overwhelmed. I’m sure it was like 3 of them compared to a very large space and a seemingly overstaffed kitchen. Took ages for someone to take our order, I had to catch one of the staff as she was running past our table back and forth and ask to have our order taken. Which she did, but after waiting endlessly we found out she hadn’t even passed it on to the kitchen. We stood up and left shortly after that. As for the coffee, no offence to anyone, but it isn’t what it used to be. The prices are quite high for what you get as I think the place is understaffed and I’d be very curious to know what the employees think about this….

Spacious cafe with table service. Lovely location to sit outside on nice day away from road noise and bustle of town centre. Recent visit December 2024 now Tiny Tiny. We enjoyed breakfast smashed 🥑 on toast and bacon & egg sandwich. Coffee freshly brewed and there is a coffee ☕ grinding service.

Top notch food. Top notch coffee. Top notch Staff!

Tiny Tiny, (previously Flat Caps) is one of the best coffee shops in Newcastle. It's a little bit hidden but is central and they're dog friendly which is enough to instantly love the place. The cinammon roll is lush (especially if you catch it fresh out the oven), their menu is great food that makes you feel good too. The staff are lovely and informative and the atmosphere is a cosy vibe perfect for working, meeting friends or reading a book. It's an open kitchen, so if you really want to, you can see the chefs at work. There's a large collection of plants around the walls and hanging from the ceilings, adding to the serene feel of the place. But the star of the show here is their coffee. They usually offer a small card with the different beans they are using that day (not sure how often this gets changed but it feels fairly frequent) and it is always made to perfection. The coffee is consistently smooth, flavourful and one of my personal favourites in the city.

I was looking forward to this and ended up feeling disappointed. The Turkish Eggs (yoghurt based not tomato) had small bits that tasted like candied fruit. It didn’t work with yoghurt and eggs. The huevos rancheros was quite plain. Roughly £11 a dish and then £4.50 for sausages on top… I have had much better brunches for that price and I didn’t think the menu was impressive either. It’s very busy (call and reserve a table) so they definitely have nailed their target market. I must just not be in it.

A favourite to visit when in Newcastle. Coffee and food is fantastic, can't recommend this place enough. Food is always great and high quality, always a struggle to decide what to have on the menu

Surprisingly below average quality coffee - weak and lacking flavour. From the reviews & awards I was expecting much better. Nice cakes but can’t recommend the coffee.

No idea if this serves the best coffee in Newcastle as walked out after 15 minutes without being served. Waited 5 minutes to get a table and then sat being ignored for a further 10. Baristas and kitchen staff busy but waiting staff wandering past tables looking very disinterested. Won't be returning.

I ate two special brunch menu in Tiny Tiny. Comparing two menu( Huevos Rancheros and Turkish eggs), I prefer to eat the former one! Both of dishes were great which have unique flavor and spices. Tiny Tiny has a cozy, friendly atmosphere and could be the good place to read some books:)

Amazing. Lovely venue, serves delicious coffee and amazing sweet treats. Caters for vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and others.

Without doubt the best coffee in Newcastle and on par if not better than anywhere else you could wish to go nationwide. Service was exceptional from the welcome to the batista service at the brew bar.

Popped in here for breakfast a few days ago after seeing a Tik Tok post, and it really appealed to me. We would have never passed this place when we were out and about in town, but now I know where it is, we'll definitely be back. We initially thought that it was quite expensive for breakfast. I ordered the French toast at £16 and my husband had a Mexican style breakfast, which I think came to £15 with the sausage as an extra. When the food came out, the portions were huge and we both really enjoyed it. So although it could be seen as quite pricey, it definitely felt like a justifiable amount of food for the price and the quality was great. And I guess most places these days are quite expensive, no matter where you go. I had a coffee, and my hubby had a pot of tea. I was a bit gutted that my much more expensive coffee lasted nowhere near as long as his cheaper pot of tea, which he got atleast 2 cups from, so I opted for a tea too, as my second drink. Both the lady and young guy who served us were lovely. And it was nice being able to see into the open kitchen, as they cooked your food. I really liked this place and would definitely recommend it. I would have given 5 stars if it had been a little cheaper, but I guess the costs of running a business in town probably justify that. I just don't think that we'd come regularly if it's going to cost us £40-45 for 2 breakfasts and a couple of drinks. I definitely wouldn't be bringing my son too, at those prices. But worth it as an occasional treat!

Brilliant food, the sausage was divine and their self made coffee was apparently enjoyable. Sadly though this place majorly lacks in atmosphere with all the tables being so far apart and there being an incredible lack of decoration, failed further by very slow service given their small menu and it being fairly quite during our visit

Amazing breakfast food and coffee, love the atmosphere and the staff
