Suspension started out as a roastery in a slightly dodgy neighbourhood, and have grown up to become one of the leading lights of Newcastle’s coffee scene, describing themselves as ‘an institute of coffee, creativity and community’. Their coffee, roasted on-site, is exemplary, their breakfasts generous and delicious, and they sell a remarkable assortment of complicated coffee-making equipment, as well as bags of their own beans. What more could you ask for? Open daily from 6am to 5pm.
