This is the perfect place to rest your legs after a long day exploring Alnwick town, castle & gardens, Northumberland's countryside, or beautiful beaches. Catchup with friends & family in our beautiful courtyard garden, or arrange a business meeting in a relaxed, stylish environment.
Arabica & Robusta Blend
All our coffees are made using premium beans, which we carefully chose as the perfect blend between caffeine & flavour.
Family & Dog Friendly
Our cafe area welcomes families of all sizes and ages, including dogs. We are happy to warm milk, and provide water for dogs.
Sweet Treats
There's just something amazing about coffee and a cake, and our range of fresh treats really are something special.
