50 Best Cafes near Newcastle

“My favorite restaurant! We love The Coalman, the food is fantastic, the people are great and the ambience is amazing. If you're looking for somewhere that offers food on another level, an excellent wine selection (they even have a wine club) and just a great place to be, this is it. Best of all, it's reasonably priced!“

“I live in Portland and I try to come to this cafe anytime I’m in Seattle visiting my friend. I almost always see the same women working, and they are friggin amazing. Food and drinks are always a 10/10, and the prices are extremely fair in my opinion.“

“This is a hidden gem to South Seattle (West Hill) Community. Street parking is available. Fresh brewed coffee imported coffee from Ethiopia! Never too crowded and IF you’re ever looking for a meeting space, I think the business are able to facilitate.“

“Love this place and its so cute!“

“I have lived in Redmond for 8 years and have somehow never visited River Trail Roasters. I finally broke the streak today, and I'm glad I did! They are so, so nice there - and reviews are not kidding when they say the coffee is strong, lol. My Americano was great, super deep, roasted flavor and not acidic. It also smells great in there. Prices aren't too bad for Redmond either, I was pleasantly surprised.“

“Shawn’s bakery is simply the best! Mouthwatering sandwiches, soups and don’t get me started on his pretzel roles. The Artichoke and Pesto sandwich is amazing and the Fig sandwich is over the top! Thank you Shawn for delighting our taste buds.“

“Best Mac n Cheese in the city!“

“Visited for first time, August 29 2024. Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Ordered the fruity French toast. 3 big thick slices of bread, with fresh fruit and homemade whipped cream The bread only had egg wash on one side, as if they poured the egg on the flattop and set the bread on it, As these were thick slices, the rest of it was just dry bread. Not what we expected. We thought it would be dipped and covered in egg. The silverware is the basic stamped out cafeteria style utensils and takes away from the overall experience of this otherwise homey ambience.“

“In short-

Free easy parking
No wait (Saturday Afternoon)
Try the:
-Banh Uot Tower
-Loaded Broken Rice Plate
-Banh khot
And customer service absolutely exceeded our expectations. Everything is fresh (herbs, steamed rice, rice crepe) perfectly cooked proteins, delicious fish sauce and fragrant rice.

Order it all- you won’t regret it!

————
Traveling from Atlanta with my parents and American fiancé, looking for good Vietnamese food and happen to stumble upon this place after searching for Banh Uot. Let me tell you- it’s very difficult to find amazing Banh Uot and is usually a hit or miss . THIS THOUGH- hit all 3 criteria (tasty fish sauce, good protein, and fresh steamed rice crepe) I got the crispy pork and it was the crispiest I’ve ever had and didn’t need to add additional protein.

- Banh Uot Tower w/crispy pork - 10 out of 10!

The portion sizes are very generous and every dish at the table was delicious.

-Banh Khot had coconut cream and the bean paste blended so well together with the crispy base , (10 out of 10) Most Banh Khot you get turned off by the dripping grease. Again- best I’ve ever had.

I saw their specialty menu board and is very impressed by the authenticity and varied selection.

-Broken Rice plate was loaded with all the proteins and dad loved it! The meats were cooked just right, rice was fragrant, and fish sauce was delicious. The portion was huge. (10 out of 10)

From a family of foodie travelers, we were impressed by the quality and our satisfaction of everything dish we ordered. Really looking forward to frequently visiting this gem each time we are in town. The parking situation was also very convenient and easy to access.

I left a personal belonging behind mistakenly and they went above and beyond to go out of their way to get it back to me. Customer service here is impeccable!!!“

“all we got was the matcha ice cream and the black sesame and they were amazing! $5 for a large scoop that you could split between 2. If you love matcha definitely get the matcha ice cream but if you want to try something new i definitely recommend the black sesame ice cream!“

“kind and welcoming staff and the food was delicious“

“The soups are so good!! The chicken noodle soup is the best I ever tasted!“

“Stopped here on a spontaneous solo date on the way home from grocery store. sidewalk made for very engaging people watching on a summer’s eve. The service started slow, but improved; fantastic dining!“

“Great tea and service. Cozy tea shop. Highly recommend 😀“

“This trip was not founded on joy whatsoever. HOWEVER, by the end of it, surely it was Let me explain...

I'll be honest... I accidentally took the wrong turn in Seattle and took the 520 toll bridge LOL!!! I thought, eh, I'm already going to Bellevue, let's get some matcha. I chose Café Joy as I knew there would be plentiful public library parking. FWIW, I used to work in Bellevue so I know all of the best parking areas

Anyway, I visited on a very sunny Saturday early afternoon. The doors were open, revealing an already pretty packed establishment. Albeit, ample room for some to study or catch up with a friend. The menu was filled with many eye-catching items. I noticed they had a corn latte, so I asked the worker if it was possible to do a that with matcha instead of coffee. He suggested I order a regular matcha latte (sweetened) and then he'd add corn cold foam. Good idea! He did a really great job making the drink-- the color itself was vibrant and the taste was refreshing... most importantly, not too sweet

~**. BTW, if you think corn in any type of drink is weird... whateva, you're missing out!! .**~

I'd definitely recommend this place-- next time it won't be on the whim of taking the wrong exit LOL!!

TLDR; Helpful and accommodating staff. Tasty drinks. Parking across the street. Not sponsored.“

“Regular client here. Great service and nice, authentic Eastern European food — Russian, Ukrainian, Caucasian, etc. I have to note that the staff are polite and friendly, make very good coffee, and always give helpful advice about the menu. There’s also a good selection of not overly sweet desserts.“

“The woman who works weekday mornings always brightens our day and makes an excellent coffee! She remembered mine and my partners go-to orders after the 2nd day we went, and even if we don’t go back for a week or so, she always remembers us!! It is my favorite spot in the area!“

“Great local spot, haven't ever had a bad meal --- from breakfast to burgers to pizza. Yum!!!“

“Great place! 5 stars - only thing that was weird about today (and maybe it was just me) it was exceptionally hot inside the store today 😆. It was cooler outside than in the store which made it hard to focus. I was wearing shorts so I kept sticking to the chair. Other than that, amazing vibe.“

“Delicious drinks and food, cute and cozy cafe - great for a weekend date!

Came here on a weekend morning with my husband and baby. We parked in the lot nearby. We brought our baby along and it was stroller accessible.

Service was very friendly! And the cafe was cute and clean! Really love the decor and aesthetic.

For drinks we got the banana pudding hojicha and strawberry matcha. Both were soo tasty and well balanced.

We also tried the creme brûlée soufflé and the butter mushroom crepe. The soufflé was one of the best we’ve had! And the crepe really hit the spot!

Love this cafe and definitely recommend it! We’ll be back for more drinks, soufflé and to try their other items!“

“Spacious fun place. I like the counter decor with the old school sandwich board and physical letters/numbers. Coffee was good, love it can get it in glass mug. Not exactly my flavor profile. Breakfast sandwich was very high quality. Baked good we tried was good. I liked this place, just felt like they were trying to do a little too much. Showed up in decor, food and drink choices. Worth a try, they have some different specialty drinks.“

“The staff are always very polite and helpful. I go here to buy milk tea or Boba tea for a young friend. This is her favorite place for her tea! Thank you for answering questions and helping me make decisions on my friends behalf. I very highly recommend them.“

“Exceptional service- they were super helpful with all the questions that I asked as I’ve never been there before. I knew I wanted something refreshing, but not too sweet and the guy helping gave several recommendations. I ended up LOVING what I got. It was just what I was craving! I got the passionfruit tea with Boba, medium sweet. Highly recommend!“

“excellent coffee stand and pet friendly.“

“This place offers a rare Latin breakfast menu item called Migas and oh man is it good. The wait staff are all friendly and your cup is never empty. The atmosphere is like a cozy small diner/family kitchen and it is relaxing and laid back. And as a rare tea drinker, I can say that while they charge the same as other places for tea, they serve super high quality English breakfast tea, which was delightful. I AM SO GLAD THEY ARE BACK in Issaquah!!“

“Delicious sandwiches, I am in love with my Turkey Rueben on GF bread also love Madison Special - so good. They have the 'no contact' pick up logistics mastered, it is apparent they're taking it very seriously which I appreciate. I order ahead online (from my phone) and then there is literally no wait for my lunch. Highly recommend. 💙 Madison Park in the summer is a great place to sit outside for lunch. PS. Arguably the best Caesar salad in Seattle!“

“Very nice place coffee was perfect and pastries were a perfect complement with the coffee. Always seems busy and there are the annoying one coffee work the table people for sometime but if you get a spot or even to go much better than the usual faire.“

“I've never eaten Taiwanese food before. I have definitely fell in love. Hands down, the best food I've ever eaten. 🤌“

“I was staying with a friend in Seattle for five days and I got the London Fog every. Single. Day.

You order on a machine at the front but somehow they still bring it to you? The people who work there must be psychic.

Caveat: on four of the five days there was a woman working there, and both the London Fogs and the music were great. On the last day there was a guy and both the London Fog and music were just… ok. I don’t know how you get appreciable difference in London Fogs… it’s just tea and steamed milk. Maybe he added too much water? Is there a correlation between music taste and being able to make really good London Fogs? Mysteries abound.

Anyways, if you’re the lady with long wavy brown hair working at Jack Sprat: good job!“

“amazing coffee!!!! tried it in Madison indiana at the Madison regatta! I hope they open a coffee shop in Madison and all over indiana!“

“Been coming here for manyy years because of Joanna who runs the cafe! She’s remembers names, faces and our orders! Her food is delicious 😋 she gives free coffee after 10 orders. You can text her your order ahead of time. Her food feels like home cooked 👌👌🫶🏼🫶🏼 and there is a view of the city 10/10 recommended!“

“found a little gem near work. this place has a great selection of lunch menu including burgers, pasta, soup and salad all freshly made. tried the dijon chicken pasta and i ended up licking the bowl clean.forgot to take pictures of the food but outside is a nice courtyard with apparent hatred towards corgis...“

“Awesome; customer service, bread, bagel, dessert, and coffee along with numerous coffee style choices! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Just had an amazing brunch at Sano in Kirkland Everything’s organic and grass-fed, served in compostable green containers. The avocado toast, egg toast, and chia pudding were all delicious—and the Mexican vanilla bean latte + matcha latte …Incredible. Fast, friendly service too. Highly recommend!“

“Tasty tasty food for lunch or dinner“

“Not only are they cute but they can make really great coffee!“

“Great food and service, but the parking situation is an absolute garbage fire. I'd be happy if they closed their cafe at this location and moved it somewhere close by with better parking. Every time I come here the parking lot is full of people double parked, even though the cafe barely has anyone in it.“

“I love this place!! Great food, Great service, and Great atmosphere! :) Daily specials with a vast variety of menu items and catering options. Plus, gluten free options as well (which I truly appreciate). Must try one of their many yummy smoothies-They customize the 'lean and green' for me and add coconut water, it is my personal favorite! ;)“

“Waterleaf has a great chef who really knows how to prepare delicious and interesting meals. On the night we were there the Seahawks were playing and the staff seemed distracted, so service was sometimes slow. But our family had a great time, and ended up catching the tail end of a very exciting game. The steelhead and the risotto were especially good. We will be back.“

“😍Amazing brunch & BEST ETHIOPIAN FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD - staff is spectacular!!!“

“So amazing. Visiting from virginia. Love this place“

“I go here often and never had a bad experience. Great food and excellent staff. 😬😬“

“Fabulous highly recommend“

“Chicken fried steak is second to none. Friendly service and comfortable atmosphere.“

“Ellen and her family are wonderfully friendly. Their food always hits the spot and reminds me of my mom's cooking. I highly recommend the beef scrambled eggs rice bowl and the dry fried green beans. The egg tofu is also delicious. You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu.“

“I met a great friend for breakfast here for the first time and it was such a lovely experience! The food was so delicious and the latte was wonderful, the staff was super nice, I look forward to going again! 🙂☀️☕️“

“Our 1st time there, we went with our kids and the food did not disappoint! It was packed with flavor and freshness. The chicken tenders were big and juicy, we also got chapati wrap yummy goodness like mom’s cooking! Spaghetti for little ones and basically there was a dish for every age at the table.“

“This post deserves a SHARE and it’s public! I ventured out to Creamy Cone Cafe (a Black owned small business) for the first time today. The post about the grilled cheese on croissant bread with tomato soup got me. As soon as I walked in I wanted everything!!!! I started with ALL 12 of the flavors currently on hand, the grilled cheese w/soup, the peach cobbler à la mode and a brown sugar cookie that never made it home. My favorite flavors were Strawberry Shortcake, Banana Pudding, Mint Mud pie and Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake. None of the flavors were displeasing and ALL of them I would order again. I love that you can taste the individual ingredients in the ice cream it’s self. You can absolutely tell these flavors are made with real fruit!! There was a vegan flavor and a non-dairy flavor that was tasty, something for everyone!!! I will be back often. I did want to point out, just because parking isn’t the greatest doesn’t mean don’t stop in. When you walk through the door it feels like family! Also, they have gift certificates. A win win!!! I’ll be buying some to give to people so they can experience the greatness as well. The list of current flavors are in the photos.“

“They baked goods are AMAZING! Great coffee. Very friendly service.“
