Jesmond is an up and coming suburb 20 minute walk from the city centre of Newcastle with a range of shops and cafes frequented by students and young professionals.Cafe 1901, located in a imposing looking Methodist church building gives the impression of being a bit of a hidden gem.
From the street you get no idea of the large room with its high ceiling that houses the coffee shop within. The furniture and decorations appear to have been salvaged from junk shops and car boot sales, with old signs and framed prints on the wall and heavy old fashioned tables and chairs.
Having already eaten a huge lunch we decided that we would just have tea and cake. There was a good selection of fresh cakes. Gev chose a baked cheesecake and I had carrot cake. When the cake was delivered, I had been given 2 pieces, the man explaining that he thought the cake had been cut too small so he had given me the extra piece as compensation!
With free wifi, this is a lovely place to come and sit to do some work or meet friends, just a shame it isn't just a little bit closer to home.
