Awesome Frank’s

You'll find yourself on a tree-lined stretch of West Jesmond where the locals actually know the café staff's names. Awesome Frank's does the whole thing properly—the kind of place where your coffee arrives in a decent cup and they've clearly thought about what goes on the menu. It's unpretentious but never sloppy, the sort of neighbourhood spot that makes you realise why people actually choose to live round here instead of just passing through. Whether you're after breakfast before heading into the city centre or killing an afternoon with a mate, it just works.
