The Staiths Cafe, Gateshead

The Staiths Cafe – Independent café, bar & local store in Gateshead

Located near the historic Dunston Staiths, this independent spot offers high-quality coffee, fresh food and local products in a cosy setting, positioned as a relaxed stop between home and work. It doubles as a small local store alongside the café and bar side of things.

The draw: the genuinely local, independent feel, plus the option to grab a coffee or settle in with a drink later in the day given the extended weekend hours.

Hours: Mon-Thu 9am-6pm, Fri-Sat 9am-10pm, Sun 10am-5pm

Vibe check: easy-going neighbourhood spot, good for a daytime coffee or a more relaxed evening visit given it stretches into bar hours on Fridays and Saturdays.
