My husband(!) and I had our wedding lunch here 31st October 2024. What a delightful time we had! As we were catering for 30 people, we used outside caterers (can recommend Community Catering) and The Hub made sure there was enough space for them to set out food lovely. The bar selection was great for our needs and they even ensured there was a small cocktail menu available at our request (pina coladas are delicious!). Jill and Heather took care of our every need when arranging the event (and during) and I think were even more excited than me! They made the space absolutely beautiful for us. Many of our guests had not been before and were very impressed and will certainly be back again soon as customers. The other staff in attendance on the day were great too, happy, friendly and polite. It is a fabulous little hidden gem of a location which is perfect for a walk (or cycle!) along the Quayside or the Ouseburn, with beautiful views along the river Tyne with backdrop of the bridges. Although we were unable to use their food at our event, we have eaten here before and it has always been delicious. It is worth noting too that they use as many local suppliers and small business as possible which in my view is really worth celebrating. Keep an eye on their drinks menu as it changes with the season which is a lovely little touch too. On a cold day, you can still sit outside to enjoy the view too as they even have some blankets that you can borrow to keep the chill off. Thanks again, from the new Mr and Mrs Burnett.

Great place to stop if a drink or a bite to eat. Wonderful views along the Tyne, great service and an onsite bike workshop to boot.

Cycle Hub, Newcastle I visited Cycle Hub today for a breakfast brunch and a relaxing coffee. With the lovely weather, it was the perfect time to try it, especially since they have a fantastic outdoor seating area right next to the Tyne River. The interior features modern chipboard with a chic finish, offering a contemporary yet inviting feel. The selection includes cakes, J-potatoes, and both warm and cold sandwiches. I had the bacon, brie, and cranberry sandwich along with a caramel latte, which came to 10.52. Considering the generous portion size of the sandwich, served in a soft, long roll, I thought this was very reasonable. The coffee was exceptional—creamy, smooth, and sweet, with beautiful latte art. My only feedback would be that the sandwich could’ve been a bit warmer as it felt the bacon was prepared and placed in the sandwich after but still a enjoyable sandwich. The staff were incredibly friendly, both inside and out. We moved inside due to the weather, and Lynn was very welcoming, even offering a free sausage for our dog and giving her a warm greeting. This kind of hospitality goes a long way for dog owners. The gentleman who served me, though I didn’t catch his name, was also very friendly and made sure I didn’t feel rushed or pushed out. Overall, it’s a great stop if you’re walking along the river in Newcastle, especially if you're near Ouseburn, as it's only about 15 minutes from the start of the path. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be back again. They also host a hub for cyclists with a repair centre, though I haven’t used this service, so I can’t comment on it. There are toilets available, and parking is pay-and-display, managed by the local council

Stopped here for a quick snack before cycling to Tynemouth and loved it! The scones were absolutely delicious, and the cafe has a lovely, stylish vibe. The outdoor seating right on the quayside is perfect for soaking up the views. The ice cream counter looked amazing too, some really unique and tempting flavours. Will definitely be back!

Popped in for a coffee. The service was good. We sat on a bench on the banks of the Tyne. The toilet I used was very narrow but also very clean. I would certainly recommend.

We visited on a sunny March weekend and enjoyed the outdoor seating on the riverside patio, which has a view of some of Newcastle's iconic bridges. There's also plenty of seating inside. One of our party had a Biscoff milkshake which they said was very good, as was the Malteser cake and what I think was called the Granola cake. The young people running the cafe were working hard. There are electric bike charging stations here, as well as a station to sort out problems with bikes. Just one thing was an issue, which was the two toilets on offer as unisex toilets. I get why it's more efficient to do this, but the man before me hadn't been capable of either lifting up the seat, concentrating on where he was pointing, or clearing up behind himself. Apart from this, we had a nice visit to this cafe.

Always a good place to stop whilst out cycling, good coffee/ food/cakes at reasonable prices and tons of outside seating with great views on a sunny day. The only complaint is perhaps it's a tiny bit understaffed as it can take a while to get your food and the staff look run off their feet having to bring your food outside. Extremely handy bike mechanic shop inside for maintenance/ repairs whilst you're there too if you have any bike issues whilst out.

A lovely place to have a cuppa and some cake! There’s a great car park right next door, and it’s perfect for stopping off if you’re on a walk along the Quayside.
