  “I would give Meli Cafe 7 stars if I could - this is place is a hidden gem. The coffee 10/10, the frittata 10/10, the pear and almond cake 10/10. Cannot recommend this place enough - everything is homemade and delicious!”

  “This amazing café is located in the heart of Newcastle city centre. It's a bit difficult to see the entrance, but once you know where it is, you definitely won't forget it! The food was amazing and the Greek sauce was incredible. The only thing I would say is that the cappuccino didn't have much foam, but that's just a matter of personal taste.”

  “Wow. This cafe is an absolute hidden gem, the owners are superb and have amazing customer service. Not to mention it’s all pesticide free (Organic) 🥳 Would highly recommend It is slightly spenny however you pay for quality not quantity. Overall the service was great, really enjoyed my organic iced espresso, would most definitely be returning.”

  “Very nice vibe right next to hay market metro station. Traditional Greek coffee with one shot was nice but the rosemary cake was just on the average level. Generally it was a canny cafe in city center.”

  “Hidden gem. When we discovered Meli Cafe, it was under refurbishment for several months, but it was totally worth the wait. The owners are really lovely, and the cafe's got a great view. The cake we tried tasted rich and spectacular as well.”

  “TL;DR - central location, great views, interesting menu, excellent service, amazing food and drinks, good prices! Meli cafe is a wonderful spot hidden away in a central location. It's located opposite Haymarket, up a few flights of stairs (lift available). Inside there are two seating areas, with one of them being particularly bright and airy, and having lovely views over Northumberland Street below (though it can get a little noisy when the windows are open and the bustle of the high street can be heard). The drinks menu has plenty of choice. In addition to the typical cafe options, there are various specialty teas, unique hot drinks and iced coffees, plus of course the Greek coffee. There are vegetarian paninis and various homemade sweet and savoury baked goods. The owner is very friendly and happy to talk through the menu. The prices are very reasonable too, especially considering the city centre location. They also have a loyalty stamp system where you can get a free drink after a certain number of stamps. The paninis, cakes and coffees are excellent. In particular the cheddar and apple scone is delicious. Also try the orange and semolina cake! Overall, a delightful place to chill and read a book with a coffee, or to hang out with friends, or to spend time with family. Totally recommended!”

  “Really lovely staff, tasty very fresh cakes and well presented hot drinks but limited hot food menu and extra for a side salad. Would definitely recommend for those just looking for a nice piece of cake and views of Haymarket tucked away from Northumberland street”

  “Such a cozy place with a nice view! It is quite, which makes it suitable for studying/work or reading a book. The staff is so friendly and helpful! The dessert that I ordered, Clementine and Almond cake, reminds me of Portokalopita 🍊 But not that sweet and without that much syrup, which hits the spot! 🥰 Definateltly recommend the place!”
