About Olive Coffee Co

Dogs are part of the plan at Olive Coffee Co, a cafe on Mistletoe Rd in Newcastle Upon Tyne, where pup cups come out for four-legged company alongside the drinks for their owners. The coffee list runs to international and specialty options, with rotating specials for anyone who wants something different from the Flat White. Sweet treats sit alongside, including pastel de nata, cinnamon buns and banana bread, across a short menu of around six items. The space is small, fitted with quirky seating arrangements, and the sign is easy to walk or drive past without noticing. It runs on walk-ins rather than bookings, and opens daily through the daytime.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers return above all for the coffee itself, calling it exceptional and the best in the area, with a flat white served at the right temperature and specials that several say never disappoint. A few single out the range of international coffees and the specialty coffee as extremely good. Close behind are the baked goods: the pastel de nata, the banana bread, a caramelo and the cinnamon buns all earn praise, with one reviewer calling the cinnamon buns the best around. Dog owners repeatedly mention a warm welcome, including pup cups their dog adored. Staff and the owner are described as friendly and happy to chat, and the small space is called cosy and quirky, with unusual seating that one reviewer found good fun. One reviewer who drives notes that stopping and parking nearby is easier than elsewhere in Jesmond. No recurring complaints appear. A regular who gets a haircut next door every fortnight says a coffee here is part of the routine, usually with a sweet treat on the side.
