Your Trusted Coffee House in Newcastle
Central Bean has been at the forefront of independent coffee culture since its establishment in 2008. Our journey began in Gallowgate, Newcastle, where we combined our expertise in leisure design with a passion for exceptional coffee. We source premium beans from selected farms in Brazil, Ethiopia, and El Salvador, which are medium-roasted in the UK to our unique profile. Our commitment to quality extends to using La Marzocco espresso machines, renowned as the gold standard in the industry, and a Cirqua Water Treatment System to ensure optimal flavour. Our baristas undergo rigorous training, with some achieving international recognition, including participation in the SCAE World Barista Championships. Over the years, we have expanded to multiple locations, including Morpeth, while maintaining our dedication to serving freshly ground coffee in contemporary environments.

Our menu features a wide range of classic and modern coffee beverages, seasonal specials, and takeaway options tailored to diverse customer preferences. We prioritise transparency in our sourcing practices and invest in cutting-edge equipment to deliver consistently superior coffee experiences. Our reputation as one of the UK's leading coffee houses has attracted talent from across the industry, reinforcing our position as a destination for coffee enthusiasts. Through continuous innovation and adherence to traditional techniques, we remain committed to elevating coffee culture in every community we serve.
