Quay Ingredient

The BulletProof Coffee was the best coffee I have ever had! I’m going to have to fly back from Australia to have another!

Based on the recommendations seen on
Unilocal, we tried this breakfast place for the first time today. The experience exceeded our already high expectations. Everything about it was great. The service was excellent despite the small space being packed and with a queue of hungry diners snaking out the door. We didn’t have to wait long and were offered to sit at the counter for coffee until a table became available and to peruse the temptations on the menu. This also gave us a chance to observe the busy kitchen and serving staff — multi-​tasking, unflustered and slick. Very impressed. Upon seating, our order was taken quickly and with helpful recommendations. Our warmed croissants arrived quickly — this ‘oven fresh’ presentation makes all the difference. Buttery and fresh, these were hoovered up with jam and butter. Soon after, the main events were delivered to our table: Full English (with some customisation accommodated for) and the avocado /​poached egg combo. Both delicious and with obviously very good quality & fresh ingredients, which is quay! (pun intended). I had to have another coffee as the first one was so good. Feeling very satisfied and set up for the day, we settled the bill — good value — and stepped out into the handsome streets of Newcastle to explore. Can’t wait ’till next time to try something else.

Absolut genialer Laden um richtig lecker zu Frühstücken. Dank der guten Bewertungen haben wir uns dort eingefunden und sehr lecker gegessen. Die Zutaten waren alle frisch und selbstgemacht. Die Bedienung sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auch extra Wünsche waren überhaupt kein Problem. Wenn ihr mal da seid, nehmt euch die Zeit und geht dort hin. Der Laden liegt unterhalb einer Brücke direkt am Tyne.

Visit Newcastle a few times a year to see friends and we always go here for lunch. Cute little café, great brunch menu, always super tasty and lovely staff! Keep it up :)

Excellent small café in Newcastle quayside. Lovely tasty food and great prices.
Particularly recommended are the liver & onion sandwich and the goats cheese baguette.

Stopped off here both mornings when I was in Newcastle for the weekend.
Both mornings it was packed and my friend and I had to wait for tables. You are invited to sit at the bar and given a drink and the menu to sample. All the food sounded and looked amazing. I opted for the full English breakfast the first time and had the asparagus, poached egg and Parma ham the second time. Both were amazing, plentiful and of quality ingredients. The coffee was also very enjoyable. Waiting times weren’t too bad for sure a small and busy place!
The layout is fresh and modern with tables, chairs and two sofa’s. Sofa’s were comfy but a bit awkward for me and my mate who are both big lads.
Would definitely recommend and will visit again next time I’m in town!

Really nice breakfast spot! Very delicious ingredients and fresh coffee.
The staff are really lovely! Very nice. The queue can get big.
They offer bulletproof coffee also!
The location is small. Great local art. Steps from the quayside. Worth a stop by!

Perfect Craster kippers and warm hearted service. Can get busy at weekends, but well worth the wait so be persistent. Strongly recommend.

Exquisite local business! Delicious homemade food in cosy and intimate surroundings. Friendly and efficient service guaranteed.
Having sampled most things off the menu now I can honestly say I have never been disappointed. Personal favourites include the cinnamon pancakes and the breakfast sandwiches accompanied with a lovely cup of coffee to fuel me for the day. Food is fresh and made to order so there can be a small delay but well worth the wait.
Not suitable for larger groups as this is a small venue with tables seating a maximum of 4 people. You also can’t book a table so it can get quite busy at weekends… but please note this is because a visit to Quay Ingredient is a must and its reputation is now very well known amongst locals and tourists!

The boss comes from China, it’s amazing.
Her husband is friendly.
The food is delicious !!! I hope I can join it every day

I love cozy spots for breakfast and Quay is perfect! Great coffee and breakfast was tasty. I had eggs and toast, simple enough, but the ingredients were obviously fresh and the meal was more than enough. My husband had the pancakes which were more like crepes. I had a taste and would have enjoyed more but he managed to eat them too fast…
It’s a small place so don’t plan to bring a large group but breakfast for 2 to 4 would work well. Everything is made to order but the wait isn’t long. Heading back to Newcastle this month and Quay will be on my must-​do list.

Wow. Great place for breakfast! Varied menu and they cheerfully coped with my dairy allergy, offering to make scrambled eggs for me with soya milk and no dairy! Wonderful freshly cooked food, generous portions, couldn’t fault them.

This place is the best café in Newcastle. The coffee and food are unbelievably good, and they’re cheap (as a PhD student, I can afford to go there quite often). Free wi-​fi, extremely friendly service, and a cool location (directly underneath the Tyne Bridge) top it off. This place can’t be beat. Go there and support what they’re doing, because this is a great mainstay of the Newcastle scene.

Maggie and Simon make this place the most wonderful café in Newcastle. They really care about offering you the best coffee and tea, divine homemade food which simply cannot be beaten, really low prices, and great friendly and personal service. I’d hugely recommend the eggs benedict with bacon — scrumptious isn’t good enough a word!

Best coffeeshop in Newcastle! I’ve tried a lot of different coffeeshops in Newcastle and this is definitely my favorite. It’s in a great location, has comfortable seats, and free wifi.
