The 30 Best Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Newcastle

“Great little cafe attached to the bar. Loved the decor, the music and the staff were fantastic, freindly and helpful. Loved the food, what a great spot to visit if you are in the area. And what a view from the carpark”

“Favourite cafe in Downpatrick. Stunning views also.”

“Picked a place pretty much out of a hat for a day out with my mum. This place was great, lovely beach and arcades along the strip ( mum loved the 2p machines, and me the racing games ) and the views are absolutely otherworldly, slieve Donard in the background ( which I plan to climb in the summer ) great place for a little getaway, lovely eateries also. Highly recommend”

“Disappointed to read some of the reviews for the Broadway. Myself, my wife and our two girls ate there yesterday. Nothing fancy. No Michelin stars. Just very good suitable menu for a seaside diner. Staff were all young ,nice and pleasant. Food was nice. Priced appropriately. But as a dining experience it has something that you can't reproduce easily. It's a fifty year old business that has authentic history and nostalgia. We ate there some years ago and it was nice to be there again. And I hope to be there again some time soon. I know how much hard work goes into running a food business. Most people haven't a clue how much effort goes into their plate. Anyway, I love the place and I'm thankful to the owners and staff.”

“We had an amazing lunch at the Beachcomber cafe. To be honest we were expecting fish n chips and burgers but that’s not what we had. Chicken curry, curried cauliflower soup and honey chilli prawns. Fabulous food. Highly recommended. Maybe try to expand the vegetarian options.”

“I recently visited Leafy Greens and had an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. If you're looking for flavorful, fresh vegetarian food served with genuine warmth, this is your place. We ordered a salad and a dessert, and both were spectacular. The salad was truly delicious—far from basic, featuring vibrant, fresh ingredients that were perfectly balanced. But the real star, flavor-wise, was the presentation and taste of the meal as a whole. Everything was plated beautifully, looking like a work of art, and the flavors were excellent—a testament to the kitchen's commitment to quality. The dessert was the perfect, indulgent finish. Beyond the incredible food, the staff was super friendly and attentive. We felt genuinely welcomed the moment we walked in. Best of all, the food was served incredibly quickly, despite the high quality and detailed presentation. It's rare to find a place that excels in every area—food quality, presentation, speed, and service—but [Restaurant Name] nails it. Highly, highly recommended for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike!”

“The coffee in Birch is the best I've ever had - and my middle name is Caffeine. Friendly, expert service. Always great music playing, and really delicious food.”

“Great coffee and homemade tray bakes. Excellent customer service. Love popping in here for a treat.”

“Small family run establishment serving the nicest homemade ice cream I've ever had. Very friendly team and a great selection.”

“Myself and my husband have just returned from staying in Does Den, if you are looking for a place to completely get away from it all this is the perfect spot. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful and we were fortunate enough to spot a Fawn whilst we were relaxing outside our cabin. The cabin was beautiful, absolutely spotless and the most comfy bed I've slept in, it was so peaceful I had the best night's sleep I've had in ages. We also done the electric picnic and forest spa and I would highly recommend both, great experience cycling around the forest and the picnic we had afterwards in the gazebo was absolutely beautiful. The forest spa was so beautiful and secluded, the scenery was outstanding. The entire stay was so wonderful and we can't wait to go back. One of the absolute best parts of the stay was the service we received from Andy, an absolute gentleman who couldn't do enough for us, from setting up the hot tub so we could enjoy a relaxing soak to delivering the most beautiful breakfast the next morning. Nothing was too much trouble for him and everything was explained well to us. The whole experience was wonderful and I couldn't recommend it highly enough.”

“We hired bikes for half a day including a toddler trailer. We absolutely loved it! The grounds themselves are beautiful and well kept. Customer service from booking to on the day hire was second to none. Easy to book, easy to communicate with and very friendly and professional on site. Would definitely recommend clear sky and we will most definitely be back to see what else is on offer. Great day out!”

“I love this place. Looking for vegan snacks in the area, and I found Harry's Place. Not only is the food excellent, but it also supports a very worthy cause. Will definitely come back .”

“A very popular local pub with some great characters, including the owner Blondie.”

“A real old fashioned Irish pub with great history which makes for brilliant atmosphere and good crack, there's even claims that its the oldest pub in Ireland. It also holds Whiskey tasting from local distilleries which must be book in advance due to its demand. Highly recommend this wee pub.”

“Great place for a party or a get together. Great friendly staff and atmosphere”

“Fabulous service everytime I walk through the door, wonderful pizzas with fresh healthy ingredients and generous on the toppings, if you're looking for something handmade, something fresh and rich in flavour I would 100% pick logellos over dominos any day of the week”

“Great spot for food and a glass of wine”

“The food was absolutely unbelievable, they were very accommodating and the service was even better the bloke in there was so nice and helpful, had the time to stop and chat to us. Can’t fault this place”

“Very yummy food brought out by a very pleasant staff. Ordered a smashed avocado with an extra egg during my lunch break and it came out quickly despite the lafge number of customers. I was also able to take it away which was extremly handy. Couldn't reccomend more.”

“Absolutely LOVE it here. The aesthetic is gorgeous and the food is absolutely incredible!!! Staff was really kind. We went three times in a row”

“A lovely little cafe, tucked away in an upstairs venue, with fantastic food. We were pleasantly surprised at the large portion sizes, and my salad was especially delicious! Great value too. Would definitely return.”
