Quarters Coffee in Newport

Cute little café. I go there regularly with my friends, always enjoy a can of pollys

2nd time at the cafe this time we went for breakfast. We had the cheese and ham croissant, great quality ham and cheese and tasted amazing. Breakfast tea was so good we bought a bag to take home. Great flat white too. Service was great, we will definitely be back! 😁

Went in for coffee and food this morning. Before our food came my wife had to take a phone call, she was told firmly to keep her voice down by the staff member. She was talking in a normal tone and volume, no swearing or inappropriate launaguge, just a normal personal phone call. Very odd interaction with the staff member and felt very uncomfortable after that so we left. Absolutely no need and weird. I won't come back.

Lovely cafe with great food and super friendly staff. It's become one of regular places to visit for both coffee and beer.

My favourite place to have lunch. Owner, Simon. Great guy, friendly, charming. ...... Best cheese on toast ever.👌 Okay, if you have to wait 15 mins to be served it's because he's making sure the dish is just perfect. He holds his diners/ coffee drinkers in high esteem . Appreciate that Simon 👍 Thanks Regular customer

Popped in impromptu, love the abience. Will come back again. Dog freindly 👍

Friendly helpful staff, very clean and nice coffee.

I visited on the Sunday 2nd March at approx 11.45 am after the Newport half marathon. I have always used Hortons and more recently LLL wellness but they were very busy so thought I’d give these guys a try. On this occasion I only wanted to purchase a can of craft beer to take home. As I entered there were a group of four being served, another group of two gents and then myself. Outside there were three tables of two to three people including their children. There was a lady and a guy with hair in a ponytail and a white/ grey beard with glasses. His attitude and demeanour were terrible and noticeable straight away. Regardless, I thought I’d give them a chance. Despite it not being busy I could see he was already flustered and angry when I came in. He knocked his own glasses of at one point as he was so visibly angry. At this point I’ve been in the queue for five or six minutes with the original group of four still being served. The two guys in front of me leave as they are clearly fed up of waiting. In the meantime my wife brings my young daughter in to use the bathroom (as we weren’t expecting to he waiting so long). It’s now finally my turn to be served - they could not sell me the can of beer as I wanted to take it away and their licensing wouldn’t allow this (I understand this - but frustrating given how long I’ve waited). I leave the can and wait outside at the bottom of the ramp as I am awaiting my wife and daughter to come out from the bathroom. He brings a drink outside and as he walks passed me he tuts at me. Not sure what I’ve done to deserve this. Whilst I am waiting the guy keeps looking at me with a nasty look as he’s making drinks. Not sure what I’ve done to deserve this. My wife and daughter the come out. The floor is tiled so my daughter wants to hop her way out. The guy then gives my wife and daughter the nasty look. Not sure what they’ve done to deserve this. What a disgusting person this man is. Clearly not fit to run a business or deal with people. He is clearly in the wrong job. Avoid this place at all costs. Try Hortons - great roast dinners. Or Rico and his team at LLL wellness who are so friendly.

Saw the hot chocolate menu and I popped in, lovely friendly guy serving, the best hot chocolate I've tasted in ages and a beautiful outside seating area (I came when it was sunny☀️) seating inside and out, and clean funky painted toilets. Will be back! Thank you

Nice spot, great music The staff is super lovely

very nice atmosphere, lovely music and good food!

Always pop in if we're popping past. Great friendly little coffee shop with fantastic views of the footbridge and Newport. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Lovely peaceful atmosphere by the riverside. Excellent food and coffee - best dark chocolate mocha in the British Isles. Staff very friendly and attentive.

Stopped here for a half pint before an evening game at Rodney Parade. What a lovely little spot. Chilled atmosphere and really friendly and attentive service from the owner. Felt quite European - which is meant as a compliment! Just a shame I was only there for the night so couldn't try the coffee as well.

Brilliant coffee and freshly made delicious generous portions of food. Lovely cenyral location next to the river Usk. Try the amazing hot chocolate

A cute and cosy cafe along the river. Service was impeccable and the place was spotless. It had a very chilled atmosphere with jazz music playing in the background. I could have spent all day there! I will definitely be back

Ate here this morning, small homely atmosphere, chap serving was very nice and friendly

Very welcoming and Mediterranean quality coffee, highly recommend.

Such a lovely little cafe that we came across and a really child friendly place, which is a bonus. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, they're super friendly. Coffee, tea and food is of great quality and super tasty too. Really worth a visit, will definitely be visiting here alot more often. They're open late on weekend evenings too, which is perfect as Newport has nowhere decent open for tea and cake, late evenings.

Good coffee but I drank it in less time than it took to be served. Service has improved, gentle jazz background comforting. Quiet relaxed cafe, excellent choice in armagnac

You are better off going to Greg's the service was slow and the prices was very high

I absolutely love ❤️ this place. The owner is such a nice person. Good service, nothing is too much trouble, food and cakes and gorgeous, very chilled out atmosphere and dogs are allowed. Perfect place to relax

We had a lovely breakfast at Quarters Cafe Bar this morning. The sourdough toast, with jam was delicious 😋, and the coffee hit the spot. Worth the visit.

Coffee is great. They use beans from Big Dog in Blackwood so the Flat Whites go insane

This coffee shop owner refused to allow a small schoolchildrens' choir to stand in front of their outside seating area. This was for the unveiling of one of the Monumental Welsh Women's statue group - for Lady Rhondda. It was for just one hour on September 26th - where prominent women members of society, government, writers and poets were attending. They would all have wanted coffee and snacks after as the coffee shop the otherside was offering that to all. What a silly person and cafe owner - a missed marketing opportunity and he lost lots of customers. No doubt people from Newport won't go there because of his snub. Who cares about the quality of the coffee as it is just as nice if not better at Hortons cafe opposite.

Good food good service pleasant outlook. Background music better than the usual

Note that this cafe changed ownership in the last year or so and the menu/food is completely different to how it was previously. Used to love going to this cafe - freshly made pancakes and avocado on artisan sourdough toast. It's now on cheap sandwich bread, soaked in olive oil (?!). Reviews from before the change should really be removed as this is the same place in name only. What a disappointment.

Hands down the best coffee shop in Newport. Great espresso and nice to see it being sourced locally (Big Dog in Blackwood, really nice). Have yet to try the food menu but from appearances it’s a reliable and creative mix of local pastries, breakfast, brunch and other options. Thank you for reopening and keeping a top notch espresso cafe open in Newport! Reposting a review since the business changed hands this year.

Beautiful light lunch, and loose lea. Lovely feel and atmosphere, calming music, really welcoming staff. Ordered a tea, delighted it was loose leaf, and a cheese and ham croissant. Giid price, and croissant came with a fresh side salad, crisps and homemade dip. Food really fresh, lovely atmosphere and good service. Would definitely recommend, a gem.

I told the gentleman (owner?) there that this was the best lunch I've had in Newport. And to be honest, that came out wrong. It was one of the best lunches / coffees me and my partner have had in general anywhere! Portions were extremely generous, all ingredients were fresh. The avocado toast was perfectly seasoned, bacon was thick and cooked perfectly and the sourdough it all came on was fresh and tasty. We finished it all off with some sweet treats that were fresh and well selected. Very happy stomachs. Coffee was top tier I had to have two. And the service was wonderful. Definitely going back next time we are in town for lunch. Thanks!

What a great find. Lovely decor, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff! My partner maintains it serves the best coffee he’s ever had. A little piece of heaven.

Excellent coffee!! Had a quick stop here while on on the bike. Coffee was really good and excellent service. Highly recommended.

The best place in Wales to drink coffee and eat cake by far.....Absolutely amazing....

Lovely find. Great coffee from a local roaster. Variety of beers. Jazz playing in the background, what more can you want. Had a great chat with the owner about coffee and our journeys of discovery. Ham and cheese croissant was fabulous. Eat inside or outside on the terrace overlooking the bridge. Highly recommend.

Very tasty toast! I think it’s best in Wales!

Stopped briefly to rest and grab a mint tea. Nice tranquil settings and the staff are really friendly. The tea was served in a nice pot and tea cup with saucer. Cosy seating options are available, multiple places to sit both inside and outside. I was made to feel welcome and served promptly. I visited on a Sunday morning and it was not busy at all. Menu selection is breakfast based with pastry options. There is an alcohol menu I guess for the afternoon but I didn’t see lunch options on the menu. Overall this is a cute but central oasis to stop and fuel your body. The smashed avocado on brown sourdough toast looked amazing, very large portions too. A great place to sit and work too, I spent sometime on the laptop here. Thank you thank you thank you

Just popped in for a coffee, ended up staying for lunch and a cake. Food is uncomplicated and tasty, the coffee was so superb I bought a bag of it. I enjoyed the jazz playing in the background and the views of the bridge/river are lovely.

Brilliant brekkie. I travelled down from Pontypridd, after seeing great reviews about Quarters. Well worth the trip. The coffee is banging! Not just that, but you can trace it back to source, and even buy it for home. We had smashed avocado breakfast each with halloumi. So tasty, lovely salsa on the side, and a beautifully dressed salad. We’ll be back very soon!

Such a lovely experience. Not only did I get a fantastic cortado (made properly) I had a delightful grilled croissant sandwich, the salsa on the side was to die for, AND topping it off with a very pleasant vegan cake - I can’t remember the flavor other than the lime and coconut - so refreshing in the beautiful weather. Will come back!

Great welcome. Black dog coffee the very best. Relaxed atmosphere. Food looks delicious hand made to order. Seating outside to watch the world go by on banks of River Usk

Came here for lunch today. Lovely friendly guy serving. We had Cheese and mustard toastie and mozzarella, basil and tomato on toast. Big portions and so tasty. Will call in again for an evening drink. A lovely asset to Newport

Lovely breakfast. Toast and marmalade and preserves and smashed avo plus lovely blueberry muffins . Excellent coffee too. Best flat white that I have in a long while. Brilliant helpful service and travel suggestions to the Cardiff avoiding the M4

Lovely cafe, with great service and even better muffins😃

Great coffee, but the takeaway cup's lid is uncomfortable to drink from. The pastries look appealing but are very difficult to eat because of the hard dough.

This place has knocked it out of the park for breakfast for myself and partner. We didn't know this hidden gem existed untill today and boy are we glad we did come because the food is literally top tier ! We went for the ham and cheese croissant, a few pastries and some coffees iced and hot and they did not disappoint. The coffee was smooth and rich and actually tasted like genuine coffee and not some burnt crap you get at Costa or Starbucks. Also the food was so nice and well presented and so tasty it was really an incredibly experience overall . The staff are friendly and welcoming and accommodate and cater to every need . We will definitely be coming back for the lunch and evening times to test out some wine and beers I think. I'm already booking in my calendar when to come back next time , we literally won't be able to stop thinking about this place for weeks now . And 15 pound per person for a meal , a cake/pastrie and a drink you literally can't go wrong for good quality food . Thank you for opening such an interesting and incredible cafe 😊 10/10 would deffo recommend 👌 Thanks for having us and we shall see you next time xx

Breakfast was great. Even if you only like jam.

Absolutely stunning service from an outstanding little coffee corner! Quarters is a relaxing place to sit down and have a coffee, glass of wine 🍷 and relax!, also Simons coffee ☕️ is outstanding 👌

First visit since they have changed ownership - really friendly and still the best coffee in Newport, in my opinion.

Had a delicious avo on sour bread toast, served with salad and chute and halloumi, followed by croissant and oat flat white. Really good pastries. Friendly service, I’ll be back!

Saw Quarters open a bit later than usual on our way home tonight so thought we'd pop in as it's been taken over by new owners. What a great atmosphere and feeling walking in. It's so cosy and unique you have to experience it to feel it. Excellent beverage menu and background tunes to match. We stayed for a few because it was just so relaxed and comfy on a cold windy night. We'll be making this our weekly stop now. Well done to all involved.

Stopped off here for lunch due to being dog friendly and menu suitable for IBS sufferer. Lovely service, compact but nice menu. 3 of our party ordered the ham & cheese croissants which they said were lovely and I ordered the avocado on sourdough toast. It was no trouble to tailor my order to dietary requirements. Thankyou for being so accommodating!

great environment and food, the pastries on offer are always delicious 🤗

Really accommodating staff for dietary requirements.

I'm so glad quarters is open again! I came in previously and had the avocado toast, a lovely, expertly made oat latte, and I took away a alex gooch almond croissant. This time, when I visited, I had the vo toast again, and the bread was the most delicious I've had. Also had a good cup of black coffee, which was lovely and strong. Quarters is a wonderful place to go for coffee and food in newport

Brilliant coffee shop, friendly atmosphere, and real nerds about coffee (A rare thing in Newport!). I was concerned when this place changed hands that the new owners wouldn’t match the previous owners love and enthusiasm of brewing brilliant coffee but they have absolutely delivered. I’ll be happy to call this place my regular cafe going forward. A real gem in Newport. My only feedback is that there must be an issue with ventilation as there seems to be a lot of condensation on the windows of the shop - I noticed the owner squeegeeing the windows to get rid of it - I hope you manage to fix it soon!

Friendly, great coffee, nice atmosphere

Breakfast Milk pancakes were delicious with my latte to start my morning.

Nice place for a tasty drink or snack.

Lovely coffee and lovely bacon bap. Will definitely be back.

Best coffee shop in Newport! I have been visiting Quarters since they first opened and have loved every visit! Jack and the team are always friendly and welcoming and never fail to give you a warm welcome. The coffee is amazing and the avocado brunch is the best. Quarters is the perfect place to catch up with friends or take your laptop and catch up on some work! Cannot recommend Quarters enough!

A great looking space. In the heat, it almost feels like I am in Australia drinking coffee. I really can't say why though! The coffee was exceptionally bitter today which I don't mind in general and especially when it comes to independent coffee shops. I would go back and try a different bean on a different day though for sure!

I loved this coffee shop !! They had a great pancakes !! 🥞 I had a tea with it ! The outdoor tables were very nice !! I had a wonderful time there eating my pancakes & drinking hot tea watching people going by !! There were nice caring ladies with their dog . They had a bed even for him( her )there outside while they were chatting .I thought that was super sweet !! Maybe it was an old animal.Lots of Welsh locals walking their dogs there !! It was right by the fabulous Newport city foot bridge & Friars walk was across from there ! A great view from there !! Fabulous !! Very nice coffee shop indeed !! There were two male workers & both were very friendly !! I'd love to revisit there someday soon !! I highly recommend this coffee shop !!

Stumbled on this coffee shop walking the riverfront. Had amazing coffee, freshly ground & super doorstop toast. Good selection of drinks & light snacks. Pleasant staff. Lovely decor. Will definitely be back when in the area.

Best spot in newport for coffee and good foood!

Beautiful coffees, wonderful staff and tasty well priced food. What more do you want? Visit on home games and likely to see rugby or football players as well 😀 absolutely faultless!

A gem of a place serving great coffee and yummy cake!

Friendly service and great cookie for my boy

My wife and i popped in for lunch whilst the football was on, i had a toasted sandwich and my wife had avocado on toast which tasted nice, with 2 soft drinks, nice clean place and good service.

I love that this place provides quality healthy food in an amazing location without having the need to charge the earth. The friendly staff,decor and views just add even more to the experience. They know what works and they do it well. I love the place.

I love this place. Doorstop toast with peanut butter and fine coffee. Everything is perfect.

Amazing coffee with a great view. Very clean and well decorated specialty coffee house.

Unfortunately they were out of avocado ,so I couldn't have avo sandwich...,but I had buttermilk pancakes ( mid size ,3 pcs ) w/ yogurt & berries & cherries were good !! I had a pot of tea as well.They were a bit uncooked ,but not bad at all ! The view of Newport city footbridge from the coffee shop is wonderful ! Great location to daydreaming !! Lol. So many people are taking their dogs everywhere they go in Newport !! So good to see !! Two guys working here were friendly & they had a toilet inside which is very convenient / important to me ! Many restaurants/ cafes in Wales / England don't have toilets inside ( which is supposedly illegal in L.A. ) !!Even chain cafes & coffee shops !

Great place to visit, fantastic coffee and really good quality food. Wonderful location which is ideal for walking, wheeling or cycling too. The trees are probably your best bet for securing your bike, but make sure you have a long chain, as d-locks will struggle. You can sit outside to be close to your bike or most seats inside have a good view of the outside so you can concentrate on the coffee rather than worrying about your bike. Costs a bit more than some places but it's really worth it.

Best coffee shop in town! Really lovely and friendly people

Stopped for coffee croissants and doorstop toast. Good service good coffee and good food. Would visit again if in area.

Superb brunch. Peppermint tea that actually tasted of peppermint, lightly toasted bagel that was the perfect balance of chewy and crispy and packed with high quality smoked salmon, a refreshing cooler, a lovely bowl of granola and yogurt with all sorts of treats and, best of all, a barista who knew that his job was not to spoil the excellent coffee beans. He made a perfect flat white.

Awesome coffee shop. Really friendly staff, nice coffee and fresh pan au chocolates!!

Consistently great coffee and food - very pleasant and friendly staff with a view of the city. Love this local coffee shop.

We had a coca cola and asked them to write an anonymous postcard and they did so i love it

Where else will you get oat milk decaf late beverage prepared like that, only excellence never less. And every time☕ 👍 Also pancakes? Or maybe some yogurt?🌞

The best coffee in Newport and maybe in UK. Very hard to find specialty coffee and filter coffee around. Very friendly staff!!!

Yes, I know I keep banging on about how impressed I am with Quarters. I happen to think if something is really good everyone should know about it. I'm not going to repeat myself and say the coffee is good, the food so healthy and delicious and the team just lovely; always happy to welcome their customers. So, that Not said.; I will talk about the food and say the salad I ordered a few days ago was full of healthy nutrients yummy vitamin A, C, beta carotene, calcium and loads more.. It also tasted delicious.. The staff are keen to promote healthy nutritious foods even vegan, that said, if you want to spoil yourself with blueberry pancakes or delicious pastries then go right ahead🍧🍧🍰. In case you're wondering ...No, I don't have a stake in the business nor are the very friendly team my family, but I would be very happy if they were. So I shall just say...cross that bridge ( the footbridge in Newport town centre) and enjoy a few hours sitting in the sun with a delicious meal. Aaaah. Mary

Just dropped in for brunch and it was brilliant. Great coffee and pancakes. Friendly baristas and arcade fire playing in the background. And great location by the river and footbridge. Will certainly be back again

Thanks so much Owen and the team. Our lunch was delicious . For anyone who is looking for a healthy breakfast, brunch or lunch then this is the place. Great coffee, delicious food and lovely staff. There is nothing more relaxing than sitting on the courtyard in the sun. Quarters is on the quieter side of the river away from the noise of traffic and exhaust fumes; Just two minutes over Newport town's foot bridge. I always feel healthier after my visit. In my meal today I had at least six of the top 20 super foods list. Thanks again Owen and staff. Mary and Carol

This is THE place if you want quality coffee.

Very nice coffe and friendly staff

Excellent couple of hours spent at Quarters. Sitting by the river Usk in the sunshine was so relaxing today, a treat in itself, but it is so much more; . Good coffee, delicious food with emphasis on healthy superfoods. Breakfast porridge with berries, for example. We love their home made soups . The Brie and chutney ham baguette is yummy. To be honest everything is fresh and tasty. The added bonus is that the staff are genuinely friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. We've noticed they welcome everyone with a big smile. Thanks Owen, and the rest of the team. Your place is great; spotless. Carol and Mary

Great coffee, the best avocado on toast we have ever had and lovely pancakes. Very highly recommended.

the food here made me sick for 3 days it gave me very bad stomach problems and i am not allergic to anything i ate. what a joke but it was nice

Excellent coffee with super friendly staff.

We went to Quarters for lunch. What a great bespoke menu with all being individually hand made. We order 2 Gallets, which was a puff pastry topped with melted goats and other cheeses, parma ham and other delicious Ingredients.....Wow....delicious. The coffee was mazing too...non of your chain bought coffee but reponcibly resourced. Highly recommended

Jack and Esther are fab hosts, very friendly and accommodating. The location is spot on, with lovely views of the river, footbridge and Friars Walk. The coffee is quite possibly the best in South Wales, thanks to Northstar Roast. The WiFi is strong, fast and free. The cakes/pastries are baked to perfection. The brunch menu is amazing, especially the BBQ sweet potato and chorizo bake - my new comfort food!

Lovely little place by the east end of the footbridge that I happened to come across whilst spending a few hours in Newport the other day. A great view especially if it's sunny.

First visit to Quarters Coffee today, had chocolate and banana loaf, it was superb! Reasonably priced, very chilled atmosphere, will definitely be visiting again 😊

Possibly the best place to have lunch in or around town. Food that's a cut above its competitors, and excellent coffee.

Good vibe, cool music, coffee was decent. Good location but no parking.

Hands down the best place to eat and have a cup of coffee in Newport. The only speciality coffee shop in Newport, gorgeous interior, gorgeous people and ideal location. The staff are so genuine and make an effort to have a chat or still manage to make you feel welcome even when they're rammed. It's a wonderful family-run business and it's no wonder they have so many regulars. My favourite place in Newport and I always recommend it here.

A nice surprise, so much more than a coffee shop, will definitely be going back.

Shame no sofa seats, although place probably not big enough to accommodate such seating arrangements. Also everyone seems to struggle with the keypad lock to use the toilet, so should just remove completely. Other than that, great coffee and cake.
