The Cycle Hub in Newcastle upon Tyne

Great coffee with bacon and mayo sandwich. Located on C2C route

At family funeral, place put on a hospitable venue for us. Would certainly visit again under different circs.

We went there after being at the victorian tunnel and whislt the food was lovely. The service was awful. We could not decide what we wanted and the guy was losing his rag over it. There were no drinks advertised so I panicked and asked for a fentimans as I saw a bottle on the wall. We sat on the only table that did not have a sign on saying closed at 2.30. We assumed all other tables were booked for a party. A staff member came over at 230 and took away our plates and told us we had till 2.45 due to a party.... luckily we were finished food but not drinks but we felt rushed so left and so did everyone else. The atmoshere and service was awful it felt like we were not supposed to be there and rushed. Dont get me wrong the food was soo good but the service was awful. Next time you have an event on maybe dont open for public or at least make that clear for customers..

Absolutely brilliant place, they didn’t even blink when we popped in (7 kids, 9 adults!) for coffee on Monday. They were smiley, professional, welcoming. I highly recommend it for fabulous looking cakes and a wide variety of hot and cold drinks.

Starting out on our tour from Newcastle to Edinburgh I was having trouble with my panniers. The mechanic from the bike shop solved my problem for me and we were able to sit for a while and enjoy the great Cafe knowing that the rest of our trip would be trouble free. Newcastle is lucky to have such a welcoming spot to cycle out to.

An absolutely outstanding service from the cycle hub team at our recent fundraising event. The team were just brilliant, warm,, welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. I would have no hesitation in recommending this venue and we will be back. We didn't have food from the menu but everyone enjoyed the cakes. Thank you so much!

Located right on the quayside. Excellent place to have a nice cup of your choice, a good selection of pastries, and a nice view of the River Tyne. Large parking lot right next to it.

I've been here a few times. The food is very nice if you're not after a restaurant style meal. I highly recommend the bacon sarnie. Staff are great, and there's great views of the quayside from the outside seating. This is a very popular cyclist stop, which is also good for repairs during a bike ride

Try not to inconvenience the staff too much by asking for a coffee. Waited 5 minutes for person in kitchen who was stacking shelves then feel like the worst person in the world when I said “excuse me”. He grunted, made the coffee then left the card machine while he went back to stacking shelves. God forbid I had to then “excuse me” once more for a spoon to stir my coffee. All delivered with grunts and animosity. And the coffees not great either.

Great coffee, we will be back....

Staff are friendly. Cafe is clean. Price reasonable.

Nice place for a cup of your favourite & a good selection of pastries. Nice view of the Tyne.

The staff are very friendly but the food is terrible and a complete rip off. They tried to help as much as possible but... we asked for a BLT and there was no bacon so we asked if we could have Tuna mayo sandwich without sweetcorn, they said yes, then the lady in charge of the kitchen said no sorry they can't, we said OK anyway so we're getting 3 Tuna and sweetcorn sandwiches at this point, on brown bread. At a cost of £4.50 each. When they came they consists of 2 slices of bog standard brown bread with a really sloppy pre-made Tuna and sweetcorn mix in a bag, not on a plate, The sandwich wasn't even cut in half and no salad or crisps or anything. The mayo was dripping out the bottom it was so runny. My wife sent it back before touching it they gave her a soft cream cheese bagel as a replacement. I ate mine and my son ate half of his. The bread was the biggest issue, for £4.50 you would expect better bread and presentation. Sorry can't reply to your message so will edit mine. In the picture is shown the Tuna and sweetcorn sandwich, this is on the menu hence ordering it. We asked what the bread options were and we were told white or brown, we assumed nice bread, we asked for brown and got this served in a bag, not cut, we were told the filling was a pre mixed bought one hence sweetcorn was already in it. Regarding not knowing what it is? I looked on-line at your menu and if you look you will see you have a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich on the menu, it comes in a nice tray, with lettuce and has a nice seeded bread bun in the picture. If I had actually seen a picture of that before I ordered there is no way I would have accepted any of the sandwiches you served us yesterday.

Beautiful views up the river, but the service is incredibly slow

£7.50 for bacon sandwich and a coffee!!!

A friendly atmosphere with freshly cooked lunchtime snacks.

Nice coffee with view of the Tyne. Bacon roll

A pleasant spot to stop off if cycling or walking along Newcastle Quayside. Friendly service, great cakes and nice sandwiches and light bites. Indoor and outdoor seating, and they don't mind if you want to use the loos without getting anything. You can also hire bikes here if you want to do a local day ride to Tynemouth or elsewhere.

For a cycle hub my friend had stopped there to fix a tyre. Staff refused him to use the track pump as it was for workshop. Not a good advert for cyclists

Good coffee I didn’t have food but what I saw didn’t really impress me.

Great cakes and coffee, but had run out of hot food on Monday at 2pm which was a shame. Great vibes and felt safe leaving the bike outside for a few mins while ordering

Great tea and coffee lovely place for a stop

Nice coffee and cake, nice spot to sit outside if the weathers good.

Nice place to rest after long quiey side walk

Great stop off when leaving/entering the City on your bike

Located along the Tyne quayside heading out of the city towards Ouseburn, I stopped for a well earned cuppa whilst participating in the Shaun on the Tyne sculpture trail in August 2023. The café is, as the name would suggest, geared up for the cyclists many of whom where meeting here to fuel up before, during, or after there ride outs. It was notable that many often stopped here and were known by name to staff. The staff were helpful and friendly as were the lovely patrons, of whom some advised they were regulars not of the cycling kind. They serve hot and cold drinks, snacks, cakes, scones, hot and cold sandwiches. There's also a cycle workshop onsite for all cycling maintenance needs. Seating is available indoors and outdoors, there's a convenient kiosk on the roadside for takeaway, a cycle ride through. Plenty of cycle racks and a pay car park. Toilets are located inside that were well kept and clean. The views were definitely my cup of tea especially with the fishing fleet moored alongside. As luck would have it the worst of the days rain fell whilst having my Earl Grey, and I was able to don my waterproofs before venturing out again! If you're in the vicinity do pop in and see what you think. I would have no hesitation going back.

Great cafe. I am gluten, sugar and dairy free. I contacted the cafe before going and they were really helpful in catering to my diet. Also had my dog with me and they are happy for dogs to be inside. She was even offered her own bacon! Great place.

Love this place food is very good … except the nachos..

Nice stop over on a bike ride 👍

Had a great time! Great for a wedding venue

Absolutely delightful place, the staff are always friendly and approachable, and the place is clean and well-kept.

An absolute fabulous place. I have used it on bike rides, but on this occasion, I took my twin Grandsons on a Shaun the Sheep adventure. One of them is wheelchair bound/tube fed, but this didn't prevent us from visiting the HUB - the staff ensured he was able to be enjoy the visit. It was a well worth visit from Liverpool once again. Highly recommend.

Interessante Mischung aus Fahrrad Werkstatt und Café. Etwas rustikal aber gemütlich eingerichtet, gute Auswahl an Getränken und Snacks. Toller Blick über den Tyne-Fluss und bei Sonnenschein eine schöne Terrasse.

Great place to meet on a nice day.

First time here really pleasant friendly staff and you can also get your bike serviced

I hired the Cycle Hub for my 40th birthday party. Jill was great helping me organise things, I got a reduction in hire fee as I booked early. Atlas and Angelina worked the party and were lovely hosts. The venue hss twinkly lights up so it didn't take much decorating. I'd definitely recomend the Cycle Hub for private events. Excellent choice of lager/ale/wines and gluten free lager/ale. Also had food during the day which was tasty, I had nachos.

Lovely place to relax by the river, and if you cycle there, you can have your bike serviced at there onsite workshop 👍

Came here on my bike on the shaun the sheep trail. Didn't even know that this place was here

Nice cafe on route 72 food options a bit limited but still good cycle cafe

Great atmosphere and a lot of cyclists of all trades passing by. Mechanic in the shop super helpful. Love the place.

Great little place with fabulous views of the river. I didn't even know it was there and stumbled upon it by accident. I'll definitely be back to try more of rheir food

Last ate here a couple of years ago and it was fine. We called in for lunch when we were cycling to Tynemouth recently and it's definitely deteriorated. Toasty was greasy and limp, the tea was awful and the sausage roll greasy and over microwaved. Queue to order was dreadfully slow, though the place wasn't busy. Great views up the river though...and I'm sure the bike workshop is very good

Rented two bikes during gig weekend for Sam Fender and it was just perfect! We took the bikes fo St. James! The person helping us was super kind and helpfun! Would definitely rent a bike again when I get back to newcastle

Didn't have food but menu looked good. Wonderful location. Shame about the weather!

Perfect place to stop for a quick coffee mid cycle

Come here for the views. Come here for the loos. But ignore the bored staff on a Friday afternoon.

Cafe is nice, but food is really simple and choice is very limited. Menu offers sandwiches and some cakes. Coffee is not from specialty roasters. I would not recommend to eat here, but it is nice to come and seat next to the river and maybe enjoy ice cream or so.

On our family walk we called in for drinks. Our daughter chose a mint milkshake, but it was very disappointing really. For £4.50 it was basically a glass of flavoured milk, not as described at all. We like this place, but today was a bit of a letdown.

Great place for a bite rest and some coffee

Nice place to visit as a hadrian walker

Great place for cyclists to pop in for a cuppa, to effect repairs or ask advice etc. Reasonably priced food and drinks, lovely terrace by the river. Yeah, good place.

Location is fabulous, not had a coffee yet(update) great coffee friendly staff 👌

very nice little Caffè. very dog friendly. can't fault it really

I have a confession....I can't ride a bike, no balance and at 59 I'm not that bothered. However I've always seen this place and wanted to come. Bit disappointed as hubby had set his heart on bacon sarnie and there were signs everywhere advertising them but staff said no bacon 🤥 Went for sausage sarnie instead with a cheese scone and 2 teas which cost about £11. Nice cafe inside but sat out as lovely morning and looked down the Tyne

The location on the river is a treat.

Nice place to stop off for refreshments after a walk around the Quayside

Good coffee and cakes, good service

Lovely staff and extremely helpful!

A lovely mug of tea and a sit in the springtime sun.

Went in here as we wanted a coffee and must say they are very nice not had food yet but will on the next visit here . Kids had hot chocolate said they were lovely.

Casual coffee spot with pretty decent food choice (savory food, bagels, cakes, warm food ect) Probably a good value for money (cappuccino around 3.5£) and loads of outdoor seating if the weather is favourable. Definitely would agree with previous comments very recommended for biking stop or quick snack :) Really nice view on the quayside as well.

Just notice they have a solar powered charging point for ebikes. 👍🏼

Great spot for a coffee with or without a bike!

We had a coffee only. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

First class service, replaced brake pads for me this morning even after explaining that I didn't have means of paying on me (will call in at first opportunity to settle bill)

Nice place to sit down and recharge the batteries right on the Riverside.

Called in for tea and a cheese scone while cycling. Cafe seemed much nicer than my last visit which was several years ago. Service was fairly fast and reasonable prices. Nice day so sat outside surprised by how many other cyclists were calling in although it is definitely a cyclists cafe.

Canny cafe right on the Tyne, part of the cycle hub. Good coffee, savoury snacks & cakes (inc. vegan options) at what is a reasonable price (these days) Great staff.

Nice atmosphere. Brilliant food. Brilliant prices for food. Good music volume - not too loud. Nice service. Good size sandwiches.

Great selection of cakes etc. We just had a cake and coffee so can't comment on the rest of the menu. Lovely flapjack and my husband had a brownie which he said was great. Big car park which used to be free but is now still only 40p/hour and can pay by phone. Good spot to walk along the quayside.

Jill and the team hosted my birthday party at the cycle hub and it was brilliant! Jill helped me find catering, DJ etc and the hire of the room was so reasonable. It is such a gorgeous venue and my guests were all very complimentary-the river views were especially appreciated. We were all very well looked after and I would highly recommend this for an event.

Nice place with an awesome view ...

Nice and friendly staff great place for a coffee and a rest

Lovely little spot along the quayside away from the hustle and bustle of the busier end where you can enjoy a nice peaceful cuppa with the stunning views of the bridges in the not so far off distance. Unreal view, canny staff, cute vibes. Plenty indoor and outdoor seating.

Cant comment on food as only had a coffee

So much help here for the cyclists Pleasant staff awesome view so helpful and kind thank you from Tiny..tinys GB cycle ride

If you’re walking along the quayside (or even cycling) I’d definitely recommend stopping off at the cycle hub for a quick drink, bite to eat & amazing river view. Great selection of hot/cold drinks, cakes & sandwiches.

*THE* best place to stop for a mid-ride cuppa!

First time a few weeks ago. Had a cracking sausage sarnie, ready for a big ride!

Very friendly, cakes are lovely

Great friendly staff and a good calming atmosphere designed around cyclists but available for everyone to enjoy

Quiet wet morning and in before the boot camp. No queue, scan at table ordering g service if wanted, and a really good cup of coffee (americano).

Good coffee, great cakes. Not very friendly though.

Decent coffee but the food (ham and please pudding sandwich and ham and cheese panini) was very poor and expensive. Service was by staff who didn't have any interest in the customers.

Heavens is it too much to expect a smile from staff at this wonderful little hub. It was today. It felt cold, lifeless and lack lustre. Staff look depressed Won’t be going there again Come on Cycle hub. Lift the spirits of those who come or no one will come.

Great riverside parking with a cafe in the Cycle Hub, I called early, the staff were friendly and obliging and the cost of a coffee a little on the hight side for the size, all in all an excellent experience. It has both indoor and out door seating on the banks of the river Tyne. It is a short walk down the river from the main quayside area but it’s well worth the effort and if you want to park and walk it’s a most convenient place to start your journey from.

Everything you need for cycling

A great find, having never visited before. Just popped in for a coffee, having walked our dog. The staff were lovely and we were made to feel very welcome. I think this will become a regular haunt 🤌

It's a great place there coffee is really good and a massive car park for hundreds of cars I would recommend a visit.

brilliant service. Have been in a few times now to get small repairs done for by bike . in the past i have been to bike repair shops who are extortionate . but this place is always a fair price and answers any questions you have. Highly reccommend.

fab bacon and sausage sandwich but pricey saying that i would go again as the quality was good

Overall a disappointing experience. Tables were not clean, food was expensive and poorly presented. Panini undercooked with no sides or sauces. Kids bagel with jam didn't include butter! Unusual shout across the room service when your food is ready meaning multiple trips back and forth, strange! Don't even call a table number, just a description of the food🙄.

Great staff. Great service. Great food and drink. And very dog friendly. I'll be dropping in more often now.

Grabbed a pint and a bacon buttie

Amazing coffee, lovely healthy salad

This is all about the bike, from bike hire to repairs. Lots of club's meet up here, right on the banks of the river Tyne. There's an amazing café here too and great grub.

I often come here as a stop off when I have trained my 1:1 students

I was out on a bike ride and my bike broke and I couldn’t fix it, but fortunately I was very close to the Cycle Hub and they had me up and running in a few mins! Thank you!!

We couldn't rent a bike even though we saw plenty of bikes at their place. Shop assistant was constantly making new excuses and wasn't helpful at all. Probably wasn't happy about us renting a bike for one day without reservation.
