About Hatch Coffee
Hatch Coffee is a coffee store in Newcastle Upon Tyne, run from a small hatch in a former car park ticket office beside Northumbria University. The owner makes the coffee himself, with a Melbourne-inspired approach to the drinks, including the flat white and the mocha. Other drinks and sweet treats are sold alongside the coffee. A line forms at the hatch, and a loyalty stamp card is available for regular customers. Hatch Coffee opens Monday to Friday.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come back for the coffee itself, with the flat white singled out as Newcastle's best and one reviewer enjoying a mocha. Several describe it as velvety, hot and delicious, and one says it towers above the chains. Close behind is the price: reviewers repeatedly call it reasonable, with one noting two coffees came to change from a fiver and another saying they would happily pay more for a coffee this good. Friendly, polite service comes up in many reviews, and one reviewer adds that the hygiene was well kept. The setting also draws comment, a repurposed car park ticket office or parking attendant's cabin where the founders' backstory is on display, and one reviewer mentions a loyalty stamp card. No complaints appear in the reviews. One reviewer notes a line at the hatch and took it as a sign of great coffee, and another stopped in the rain anyway.
