Quick info
About Francesca Coffee Bar
Francesca Coffee Bar is an Italian-style coffee shop in Newcastle Upon Tyne, at 5 Cavendish Rd. The counter pairs coffee, including cappuccino, and hot chocolate with Italian desserts, cakes and pastries. Pizza slices, among them a margarita slice, give the bar a savoury side. Breakfast runs from a large menu that includes a full English. Cocktails and wine sit alongside the coffee, and the bar stays open until late, which makes it an option for a late-night drink as well as a morning stop. Orders are brought to the table by the staff. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the pizza slices, with one describing a large margarita slice that filled them up as a brunch snack and another calling the pizza good looking. Close behind are the Italian desserts, cakes and pastries, along with a full English breakfast with loads of items on the menu. The coffee draws praise too, including a cappuccino described as unique compared with other cafes, and a hot chocolate called really tasty. Several mention reasonable prices and good value, and one says it is convenient for coffee, a cocktail or wine. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, lovely and attentive, and one notes table service and being asked about sauces or sugar.

One reviewer says the late opening hours suit a daytime treat, and another notes seating both inside and outside for summer weather.

“A lovely cafe and eatery with a specialty for exquisit pizza slices. I've been here twice and both times have been great. Very reasonably priced coffee, I ordered a large cappochino for £3.75 and it tasted amazing and unique compared to most other cappochinos I've had at other cafes. A margarita pizza slice was under £4 and it was large, tasted amazing, and filled me up as a brunch snack. A range of seating both inside and outside for summer weather. The staff had amazing customer service, and were attentive asking if I would like any sauces or sugar for my coffee. Table service and the place had a range of pastrys. A very good cafe in the heart of West Jesmond.”
