Local NCL in Newcastle upon Tyne

It's so rare to find an excellent cup of tea as I don't drink coffee! Full marks ⭐

Excellent coffee, average service. The main guy/owner is great, the students/baristas are often hungover, inattentive and give preferential treatment to their mates which is irritating. Otherwise it’d be 5 stars.

Love this place! They make good coffee!

The ice-cream is very good but once that leaves, just go to one of the many surrounding coffee places

By far the best coffee shop in Newcastle. Staff are great and the food options (including ice cream) make it a great all round place. But the coffee tops the lot!

An amazing cafe on acorn road. Has a great range of coffees and other drinks. Great customer service and nice seating. Has a selection of flavours of the best ice cream that I've ever tasted, wonderful on a nice summers day. 10/10

A must visit when in the area. The coffee is top quality!! The baked goods and ice cream are also delicious. Staff are super friendly, and I love that there is so much local produce available. Dogs are welcome with bowls left in the outdoor areas. Try it, you won't regret it!

Dope selection of specialist coffees, lovey easy going people and great vibe

Love this places beautiful freshly squeezed orange, lovely location , super cool, friendly staff 🇬🇧🥂🙌🏼👍🏼

Exceptional coffee with friendly staff and an amazing array of beers, food and other goodies to buy. A must visit for Jesmond

Typical Jesmond student coffee shop. Slightly overpriced and uninspiring. Cookies are tasty but over baked, coffee was decent.

Awesome place to grab a coffee, welcoming staff, good range of products and great vibes

Lovely team, been regularly visiting for 2 and a half years or so. It’s definitely the best coffee in Newcastle and surrounding areas !! I love coffee and love trying new places, my wife and I always look up most popular coffee shops to try and local is by far number 1. I cannot emphasise how lovely their team is, not just with us customers but also the family vibe they give when treating each other. I really love how they know the names and orders of their regulars, I feel like it’s because they are all genuine and kind. I must say, my daughter’s babycino has been given to us for free multiple times, and promptly replaced without charge when she’s dropped it. Finally , they are always happy to accommodate. For example, this one day my wife wasn’t feeling very well and wanted a coffee super early (8am) and because they know what she does for living and is in a rush they prepared her coffee for her and gave it with no charge !! 5/5 all round ! Keep up the good work

their kinder+nutella cookies are delicious!

If you want a warming welcome and community atmosphere to enjoy incredible coffee, LOCAL coffee is the go to!! I only occasionally visited the shop as it was a bit out the way for myself, but after having such a lovely experience at their 9am Sunday run club from both the LOCAL team and other runners, It’s become my go to - and is worth the detour!! Would also recommend the baked goods - they’re incredible! 🫶

Best coffee shop in Newcastle! Super friendly staff, great products. Great sun trap to enjoy your coffee, even better if you get a visit from King Baxter!

Great atmosphere, great coffee, great chat. Great stuff.

Worst coffee I’ve had in ages. I’d rather have Costa and that’s saying something! (I wouldn’t, I’d rather go without) It’s so bitter.. probably the third time we’ve tried this place - but it’s genuinely undrinkable. Cakes are ok. The door is in a very awkward place which makes it more annoying, obviously difficult to move/change though. Staff are always nice. Just disappointing that there’s no small businesses that do decent coffee. Settling for a chain feels bad sometimes. But we did end up going to Nero… so paying twice for coffee but only drinking the latter. It’s usually busy so, that’s good 👍

Best place to go for coffee in Newcastle! Always feel so welcome by the staff who are incredibly personable and friendly! Unreal for gifts and treats too!!

My favourite coffee shop - best in jesmond! Drinks are always perfect and staff are friendly :) Lovely banana bread too!

Best coffee in Newcastle by a long way. Brilliant staff and atmosphere. Cookies also excellent

Super friendly service and great coffee and cookies. Was definitely worth the detour to visit. Also purchased coffee beans to take home - all the way back to Nottingham.

Great coffee, great service, and the most amazing cookies!

Best coffee shop in Newcastle by a country mile. The Cookies make up a large portion of my diet.

Great coffee shop with a good variety of local breweries coffee along with some more niche coffee. Ideal for a takeout or even a sit in when the weathers good ( very dependent of NCL weather). Overall wicked 🤘🏼

Lovely coffee shop, staff and service great.

My favourite coffee shop in Newcastle by far! Massive choice of beans to take home, all the staff are so friendly and have lots of knowledge on their products. House coffee is always perfect no matter what I’ve ordered and always greeted with a smile.

Great Coffee, Great Space, first place I go to whenever I'm back in Newcastle - Jesmond wouldn't be the same without Local!!

I absolutely love Local. The coffee is amongst, if not THE best in Newcastle, you can buy lots of speciality coffee in store too as well as lots of other local treats. My go to for presents. The overnight oats are also stunning!!!

Lovely on a sunny day and brilliant coffee!!!

I just moved to Newcastle from Malmö, Sweden, one great city to another. But I was worried that I wouldn't get that same cozy home feeling that comes with all the small local stores... But then my partner showed me LOCAL, and I felt that home feeling straight away. Wonderful social atmosphere, great selection of beer & wine, tasty snacks, and best of all, coffee that just makes you go to that relaxed state of mind. If you haven't been to LOCAL, definitely give them a visit! <3

The best coffee in Newcastle, without a doubt! Amazing selection of pastries and meals as well, and a brilliant showcase of products from local businesses- it's our go to for buying gifts. We moved to Newcastle last summer and we felt a big gap to find our "local" coffee shop again, and then we discovered Local (clue is in the name :D ). Super friendly staff and overall great vibes. From the moment you walk in, you can see how much Local is a part of everyone's daily lives (including ours)

One of my favourite coffee places in the Toon. Great quality coffee, lovely staff, and I love the little shop they have within it too! Can't wait for the vibes this summer with the outdoor seating and ice cream....

Amazing coffee shop and community that I’ve been coming to for over a year. Love the runs on Sundays, the coffee, the staff and of course the best iced hazelnut lattes around

Amazing coffee & cookies, also great place to look for gifts!!

Lovely coffee, great selection of beans & sun trap terrace to sit ! Shame I live three hours away, but a go to when I’m in Newcastle.

Friendly staff and always so helpful, have been accommodating my girlfriends coffee addiction since opening with their Iced oat Vanilla lattes , can’t praise Local enough

Fab coffee shop! Always welcoming + bonus points for Baxter!!

Words of a 3 year regular; Top coffee, better service.

My favourite coffee shop in Newcastle! The best chai lattes, a lovely range of coffee products, wine and beers, and the most friendly staff <3

Never fails to provide good service

Banging coffee! Unbeatable knowledge of all things coffee and natural wine! Staff are always happy, it’s good banter and brings some joy to your day! Love Local

A beautifully run local cafe. Millie’s eats are the perfect lunch time grab and go. The atmosphere in local is always so warm and welcoming. There is also a run club out of here on a Sunday which is the most inclusive and friendly run club I’ve been to in the area. Get yourself down for great coffee and great vibes ⭐️

Would definitely recommend, really great coffee and incredible cookies!

This is my regular, i cannot recommend LOCAL highly enough the staff are all amazing and the coffee is fantastic. I would once again recommend this if you fancy a nice cuppa.

My favourite coffee shop in Newcastle! Great for filter coffee, which they change up all the time. I also get my coffee beans from here and they’ll grind to suit whatever you use at home. Lots of really good gifts too, I’ll usually pick up a bottle of wine and a few local beers when I’m passing. Super friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere!

Best coffee shop in the toon. Staff great, run club great and what a photographer they have.

LOVE LOCAL!!!! best coffee shop in newcastle, (with the most wholesome run club ever!)

Best coffee spot in entire northeast. They have the best oat milk latte I’ve found anywhere whilst also offering amazing selection of coffee to take home.

Top tier! More than a coffee shop, these guys make you feel super special every time you go in. Remembering your go to drink (dark hot choc always - trust me it’s amazing), doorstep delivery whilst isolating with covid, providing you with great wine/beer/coffee recommendations, these guys go above and beyond. A truly joyful bunch of people always working hard to make local a place for the locals and creating an amazing community as it goes! You guys are all amazing xx

Best spot for a coffee in Newcastle, great staff and atmosphere in the centre of jesmond.

Great staff, great coffee / hot chocolate, brilliant selection of merch, food, books, coffee equipment

We love local! Although our dog Maple probably loves it even more, dragging us to the door anytime we pass to get some dog biscuits! 🤣 Great coffee, great people!

This gaff is the bee’s knees. Great coffee, great overnight oats for when you’re hungover and nice merch

Without a doubt the best coffee shop in Newcastle, showcasing the best of the North East. We’re always greeted with a warm welcome, and even the dog knows the way there as they’re never short of treats for her.

Discovered Local day 1 of being in Jesmond - favourite coffee in the world and always amazing lunch bowls and cookies - Millie is the best!! Really lovely people too. Love everything about Local!

my favourite coffee shop, most likely ever. the staff are extremely welcoming every time and welcome you wish smiley face on every return. from going through almost the entire menu i can safely say that the cookies are a must, with the seasonal mini egg flavour awaiting its come back every year, and i must say hands down the greatest chai latte. but really something for everyone, orange juice to a array of coffee selections to buy. you cannot go wrong !

A perfect local coffee shop and more! Cakes, lunches, drinks, ice cream- an endless treasure trove of locally sourced and delightful goods. And the favourite babychino stop for our toddler!

Best coffee in NCL 🤩 Loveliest outside seating and class coffee.

Wow what a lovely coffee place I ❤️ the cookies. I love going when visiting my sister

I love supporting Local (pun intended) businesses and this is by far my most frequented! The staff are lovely, the coffee is gorgeous, and their run club is a great way to get out and get in touch with new people. If you haven’t been or haven’t tried yet, what are you doing?

Always lovely staff, coffee is top notch. Could do with more seating

The best flat white in Jesmond!

Staple of the community, shop see’s me in all kinds of states never asks questions just continues to supply some of the best coffee in NCL jesmond would not be complete without it

Honestly one of my favourite coffee spots in Newcastle. I’ve been going here since it opened and it’s been amazing to say the growth of local. The staff are always a joy, the coffee is sensational and there’s always a fun selection of sweets treats. If you like good coffee, good vibes and good people definitely give local a visit !

Started here with the intention to run on Sundays, and has now become a general hang out spot! Great scran and coffee, fantastic team. Love it

Favourite coffee place great service and lovely staff

Best coffee and cookies ever. The almond croissants are the best in newcastle, the staff are so friendly helping me decide my sweet treat! Take all my student loan, love Joe Linton x

My favourite coffee shop in Jesmond! Highly recommend the dark chocolate mocha, the fresh OJ and ALL of the cookies. The outside seating area is also perfect for people watching on a sunny day☀️

I love Local! The staff, coffee and atmosphere are always top tier. Sunday run club has become a weekly ritual thanks to the friendly and wholesome vibe Guy, Kate and the team have created. The post run OJ also makes that 8am alarm on a Sunday worth it!

Without a doubt the best coffee in Newcastle. Staff are always very friendly and welcoming

Local the best coffee shop in Newcastle! Great coffee, great staff, great vibes. Love this place.

Always such amazing service, really friendly helpful staff! Love all the local North-east produce you offer, unreal coffees and cookies too🙂🙂🙂

The best coffee I’ve had in NCL. Coming from Australia where coffee is top notch, discovering LOCAL was a saviour. The staff are friendly and their is a lovely outdoor seating area to sit in the sun. Good vibes all round

Favourite coffee shop in Jesmond, great selection of products - honest toil & noble rot !!

Fantastic coffee. Really friendly guys great selection of beans and wine!

Currently the best coffee in town with a massive friendly cat. The coffee is smooth and the cookies are delicious.

Excellent coffee, better cookies and lovely ice cream . Best of all friendly, skilled and knowledgeable team. Give it a try you won,t be disappointed

Best Coffee shop in Newcastle by a country mile. Guy and his team are firing out delicious coffee all day everyday and the vibe in there is great. Super friendly atmosphere and a great selection of food and drinks.....even the choice of music is an audible delight!

Zoe (8) “ li like all the flavours of cookies, especially the biscoff. My daddy likes the coffee and cannolis. Staff are really friendly and animal friendly 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Great selection of coffee, ice cream and fantastic wines. Atmosphere is relaxed and chilled. Friendly staff always ready for a chat. My go to place when in Jesmond.

Good coffee and friendly service

Local NCL is my go to coffee shop and they never disappoint, the overnight oats are so good you can get various toppings to go with them, also not to forget the banana bread or cookies are 10/10, Always a good service and the staff are super friendly!

Just found this little gem, and boy do we love it! The ice-cream is heavenly, the sour dough bread is absolutely delicious. I look forward to making this my go to coffee shop. The only thing that is a little disappointing, is that the loyalty app is only for Iphone users.

Ice cream is good to sit out with the dogs in the outside area

Great shop great products really helpful with choosing coffee Would visit again 10/10

Everyone who works their is lovely, feels like a small family & they serve the best coffee & ice cream in Newcastle.

We had an absolutely superb dark choc oat mocha from here today, 100% recommend

Local NCL prides itself on using only the finest, sourced coffee beans, and it shows. One thing that sets Local NCL apart is their commitment to sustainability. Their coffee and food is locally sourced whenever possible. This commitment to the environment is a reflection of the cafe's overall philosophy of community and connection. Overall, Local NCL is an exceptional cafe that should be at the top of your list. The coffee is excellent, the atmosphere is welcoming. Whether you're looking for a quick morning pick-me-up or a place to unwind with friends, Local NCL is the perfect spot.

I really like coffee, and I'd put LOCAL in my top three places in and around Newcastle, alongside OCC in Heaton and North Shore in the Grainger Market. On top of the good coffee they've got loads of nice stuff in like cookies/cakes/sandwiches/icecream, wines and beers, locally made preserves, chocolate, and a big selection of coffee beans from loads of different roasters. 10/10 would recommend.

Great produce, great coffee but more importantly ALWAYS great service. Super friendly!

Epic selection of wines, coffees and great food produce too. The coffee was exceptional and really sweet, and the staff are brilliant here too!

I got into a very near car accident on the street outside of this cafe and the staff were incredibly kind to me afterwards and offered us free drinks. Would recommend this shop to everyone (the hot chocolate I got was also top tier!)

Gorgeous cafe serving elite coffee and food, absolute must-visit in Jesmond! The overnight oats were delicious with loads of toppings to choose from and we also shared a toastie which was divine. Really dog friendly and the place is full to the brim with products to take away, all from independent brands. I couldn't resist buying a couple of bottles of red wine which were really reasonably priced and will make lovely gifts as the label is really pretty and quirky. Staff were absolutely lovely too, 10/10.

For me, it is the best coffee you can try in the city

Lovely staff, lovely ice cream, lovely beer... My new favourite shop!

Some of the friendliest staff you will ever meet, always feel welcomed and there is always a wide selection locally sourced of foods and drinks to explore. This is now my go to coffee shop.

Great coffee food ice cream hot chocolate to die for and great staff to chat with.....

Popped in for a quick coffee and it was absolutely fantastic! The service was superb, then coffee was delicious and the shop itself was stunning. A wonderful selection of local items from chocolate to wine. Will no doubts be back very soon!

The best espresso matched by awesome chocolate ice cream. I’m glad that I dropped by again!
