Welcome to Northern Slice Coffee, a charming café that brings a unique blend of comfort and creativity to the heart of The Bike Garden in Newcastle upon Tyne. This delightful spot isn't just about serving great coffee; it's about fostering community ties and celebrating the simple pleasures of life. As you step into this vibrant café, you'll be welcomed by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the cheerful chatter of fellow patrons enjoying their day.

At Northern Slice, every sip and bite immerses you in a warm, inviting atmosphere. Customers rave about the hot chocolate, described by one visitor as "an absolute delight" – a rich, velvety drink that perfectly balances sweetness and cocoa’s natural bitterness. It’s a drink that feels like a warm hug on a chilly day, making it an irresistible treat that you’ll want to experience again and again. The rich flavor profile will certainly leave you craving more.

But it's not just the hot chocolate making waves; the café's coffee is also a standout.

Whether you’re enjoying a solitary moment with your drink or socializing with friends, there’s a palpable sense of community that bubbles to the surface, making each visit a little special.

Friday nights are particularly magical at Northern Slice, when the café transforms into a hub for woodfired pizza lovers. Kasey Carrick describes this experience as having an “awesome bohemian festival vibe” where you can savor some of the best pizza in the North East. Imagine indulging in a perfectly cooked pizza while the summer breeze mingles with the sounds of live music — it’s an experience that encapsulates the spirit of this vibrant café.

Not only is Northern Slice a fantastic spot for a quick coffee break, but it also encourages environmental awareness. As Russell Turner mentions, patrons can enjoy a complimentary drink by collecting litter from the surrounding park, showcasing the café's commitment to community and sustainability. This positive engagement further enhances the warm atmosphere, making it more than just a café, but a cherished local institution.

As you make your way to Northern Slice, you’ll find it nestled within the serene confines of The Bike Garden, a perfect stop for a leisurely stroll or a refreshing break during your outdoor adventures. With its welcoming vibe, delicious offerings, and strong community spirit, Northern Slice is not just a café; it’s a haven where every visit feels like a celebration of connection and comfort.

What a beautiful place, just discovered this cafe today. Nice touch if you collect a bag full of litter from the park you can get a free drink. Simply wonderful.

The hot chocolate from this place is an absolute delight. The rich, velvety texture and deep chocolatey flavor make it a perfect comfort drink, especially on chilly days. It strikes a perfect balance between sweetness and the bitterness of cocoa. It's like a warm hug in a mug, and I can't resist indulging in it whenever I visit. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a cozy and indulgent beverage!"

Great place for a coffee and a treat, friendly staff and good vibes. Get down there for a nice chilled day in the gorgeous garden! Fabulous community (bar some jealous folk in fenham, they know who)! Well done Northern Slice you created a great area and escape if it wasn’t for you the gates would still be closed!

Great place to pop in on a dog walk or if passing by. Open nearly every day 10 until 3 unless the weather is terrible. Friday night pizza 5 until 8 often with music during the summer, again unless bad weather. Coffee is good, the community garden is wonderful and always friendly folk about. An asset to our neighbourhood. Thanks
