About PedallingSquares
PedallingSquares is a cafe and breakfast restaurant on Old Brassworks in Newcastle Upon Tyne, with a cycle repair shop built into the premises and internal storage for bikes. The walls carry cycling memorabilia, and a television shows cycling for anyone settled in. Breakfast baps make up the core of the counter menu, including the Bacon Bap, Sausage Bap, and a Veggie Sausage Bap, with egg available as an add-on across a 48-dish menu. Burgers also feature, among them the 'De Vlaeminck' and the Obree, alongside paninis and full English breakfasts. Seating includes settees near a gas log burner. Dogs are welcome, with treats and water put out for them. The cafe runs on a walk-in basis, open Tuesday to Sunday during the day and closed Mondays. Parking nearby is limited, and an artisan bakery sits next door.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast draws most reviewers to this cycling-themed cafe, with full English plates, a sausage one diner called really good, and scrambled eggs a diner's mother called the best she had had. Coffee, including lattes and a flat white, is repeatedly praised. Close behind is the pastrami burger, described as thick and juicy, while the chocolate brownie and coconut sandwich cake also earn mentions, and one reviewer suggests taking cakes home. Reviewers describe friendly staff, quirky cycling memorabilia, a cosy feel and a repair shop inside the cafe. The complaints are specific. Several say parking is limited, one full English was greasy, another diner's toast came soft and soggy, and one found the bacon could be better. The sweet potato fries were lukewarm for one reviewer, and service slowed when it was busy. One diner who asked for a tomato-free burger still found cherry tomatoes in the salad. A dog owner was given treats and water for their dog.

“I have food here fairly often, never been disappointed yet. I recommend the fish finger sandwich. Only thing stopping me giving five stars is it can be a bit chilly in winter.”
