The Whale's Head Coffee in Newcastle upon Tyne

The best place for me in Newcastle the stuff really amazing and kindness

Coffee and pastries are second to none. The man who runs the shop consistently delivers the best cup of coffee. Music is class as well. The only small gripe is when we’ve been served by the younger woman who works there - twice she just didn’t add milk to our coffees when we asked for it. A bit annoying to have black coffee when you’re specifically going there for a nice, milky coffee. But the coffee is so good, we drink it anyway. A must-try for coffee in Newcastle.

Lovely pastry and very generous mugs of coffee. Sat outside inside looked great.

Coffee was really poor but I do like the place and the staff, just bad coffee on this occasion. Really week and basically see through Americano.

lovely food lovely drink lovely people

Friendly service, great coffee, and delicious food – what’s not to love!

Coffee was very good. The almond croissant was unreal and the community spirit and vibes in the place were awesome. Highly recommend.

Worst coffee shop on chillingham road, much nicer places to go. No one for putting places down but would not recommend going there at all. They seem to have no money to put into the business, you can tell by the hand made sign on the front of the shop, the stock is very limited and stale you would find more to eat in your kitchen cupboard. I would recommend the coffee shops further down the road a lot more fresh and trendy.

Not very nice at all, dirty place.Won't be going back there

The almond croissant was frankly, disgusting in all the right ways. Huge, covered in sugar toasted almonds, filled with almond paste and warmed to just the right temperature. The nicest one I have ever eaten and all others will now pale into insignificance as a result. Coffee was delicious and carefully prepared. Staff were friendly and there seemed to be a lot of regulars (which is nice) and a baby group in the quiet section out the back. The only downside is it is not near my house. Mind you, I'd be the size of said house if this place was! And so would my dog for that matter. Would 100% recommend after a stroll around Heaton Park

Such a pleasant cuppa at The Whale’s Head Coffee ☕️ 😄 I completed an errand at the Chillingham Road Post Office, and found this cafe via Google Maps - at 4.9 stars, it had to be good. It was lovely. The barista is highly passionate about his art, and welcoming. I sadly didnt try the pastries - which looked amazing! That pistachio crispy looking pastry is getting my mouth watering. 😂 I loved the latte i ordered. And the vibes of the cafe is chill - patrons keep coming in. Spacious, comfy and added with the fact that it was a sunny day - the perfect cuppa ☕️

I’ve been twice now for an iced latte and it never disappoints, lovely little place, friendly staff. Great prices. Will be returning and trying the food ☕️🍪🍰🥪

Great coffee, fab service, guy always remembers our order, even if we don't go for ages!

(Mar 6, 2024) Randomly walked into this coffee shop with no expectations, guess what? I have tasted the best almond croissant in the city!! The staff reheated the bread in the oven after taking it out from the display case. After the second baking, the almond slices on the surface became crispy, and the crust of the bread was also done very well! The almond filling in the croissant was also excellent, although I didn't remember it very clearly, it seemed like there were almond granules in the filling. Highly recommend everyone to try this almond croissant!

Cute vibe , nice music. Try the almond croissant.

Lovely man , clean loo, delicious coffees , friendly, just great

Sweetest little place - always the best service and yummiest cakes & toasties!!!

Great little place to meet, coffee is so nice friendly atmosphere and service is quick give it a try

Great little cafe, friendly service, great food and coffee

We had 2 coffees as takeaway and it was really good coffee. We had a lovely chat with the barista as well which made the experience even better. First time but not the last. Thank you!

5 stars as the iced coffee was very nice and the server was very polite

Love this shop 🤩 amazing coffee really high quality beans & making , great team, always up for a chat 😊 baby and pram friendly.. perfect location on my way to the parks to stop by for a coffee...

Went in today for a Flat White, really pleased with the service and competitive pricing for some great coffee. I had take-out but it seems a really nice place for those who want to sit in, too, I’d definitely recommend it

Outside seating- rare in Heaton. Friendly staff. Small menu but very tasty. Good coffee

Great coffee and the pastries are super lovely!

Pleasant little coffee shop with very huge and delicious pastries. Coffee was really good too as was the service.

Really good coffee and friendly staff!

Superb coffee and baked confectionary items!

A pleasant and peaceful place to enjoy a coffee and a bite to eat. The coffee is great and there is a good selection of sweet pastries and savoury toasted sandwiches. Try the pistachio and white chocolate croissant! Prices are decent. The seating area is bright and clean, customer wifi is available, and there is chilled out music playing for a relaxing vibe. The staff are friendly.

Utterly delightful space to sit with the dog, read the paper and have a great tasting coffee with a bite to eat.....my favourite place in Heaton and friendly staff as well

Look liked a new state up, but they serve a great cup of coffee

Wonderful coffee and home made brownie. Very friendly and calm- a lovely warm space.

The great coffee shop on Chillingham Road, has excellent service and wonderful brownies!

Great spot on Chillingham Rd- recently refurbed, a bright and airy space to sit and chill with a coffee. Would highly recommend!

This place is a real find, I had a macha latte, pistachio croissant, and the most delicious homemade soup with sourdough (which was really reasonably priced). Lovely people and vibe too. Thank you Whales Head coffee!

Excellent customer service, really friendly and welcoming. Good expanding menu of hot/cold foods and exceptional coffee and other drinks. Hidden gem of a coffee shop!

An excellent experience in Newcastle, esp. The Whale’s Head Coffee. A nice coffee shop, with delicate and elegant decoration. Delicious flat white！Yummy ham cheese croissant！

This is the best coffee shop I have ever been to and the barista Bianco has very good skill in making coffee. Both the coffee and the food are very memorable. Looking forward to my next visit!

The coffee shop I passed by at home, the coffee was delicious, and I was pleasantly surprised. The barista Bianco is very cute and has a sweet smile. I also tried the new sandwiches and pistachio bread. They are all delicious~ I heard that this coffee shop ‘s beans are also very famous. It seems that this coffee shop will become my permanent residence in the future. ^_^

The best coffee in the area. Children and dog friendly too. Amazing!

Great coffee and will definitely visit again.

Amazing coffee and great service!!! As Hasbean Coffee beans are used, this gives the coffee a high quality. I also tried the chicken sandwich and I really enjoyed it. There also has a breakfast deal, a ham cheese croissant with any cup of coffee for just £6. I will be back with my friends:)

Amazing place! Best coffee I have in Newcastle. Staffs are so friendly. Recommend here to anyone.

The latte and hot chocolate here are quite brilliant! Just walked past here and got 2 drinks, the service is good, very fast!

Great speciality coffee shop. Flat white is great.
