The Best Coffee Shops & Cafés in Ponteland

Ponteland does coffee well. For a sit-down cup, the village leans firmly independent, a cluster of proper cafés for a morning flat white, a leisurely brunch or coffee and cake with the kids. Here's where to go.

Vault & Vine

Vault & Vine at 5 Main Street is an independent café serving coffee, homemade food, pastries and cakes, and, crucially for parents, it has a kids' playroom, which makes it a genuine local favourite for coffee with little ones in tow.

Best for: Independent Main Street café with a children's playroom.

Sip'n'Loaf

Sip'n'Loaf at 11 Main Street is the brunch pick, known for posh toasties, open sourdough sandwiches and American-style pancakes, served for breakfast and lunch. Exactly the sort of place you settle into for a weekend late breakfast.

Best for: Posh toasties, sourdough and pancakes, the brunch spot.

Davidson of Darras Hall

Over in Darras Hall, Davidson at 11 Broadway is an artisan bakery and coffee shop rolled into one, serving fresh breads, cakes, pies, sandwiches and homemade soup, with local deliveries. Grab a coffee and a pastry, or stock up on proper bakery bread.

Also worth knowing

Elkwater Bar & Bistro on Broadway serves coffee and food from breakfast onwards if you want something a bit more substantial, and several of the village pubs do coffee too. For a quick coffee and a bite on the go, there is also a Greggs on Main Street.
