Magnificent hidden coffee spot. Fond of the quality of coffee they serve. No variety of desserts though, but they mostly serve vegan desserts. The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly.

Blink and you’ll miss it but once you know it’s there you won’t let walk by without popping in or wanting to! Cute, cosy space with excellent decor - minimal, clean and creative with local art and loads of lovely visuals. The prices are slightly higher for a tea/coffee (for me :))but worth it for the calm space. Great place to get done work done or read a book! Stay canny ✨✨✨

Good service, friendly people, and they also have coffee specializing in filter coffee and also an excellent cortado, I recommend it, I think it is the best specialty coffee in Newcastle

Canny little cafe with the most welcoming host ever. Iain will make sure that everything is top-notch. They use local and responsibly sourced ingredients to serve you some of the best coffee you can have in the Newcastle at very fair prices.

Easily the best coffee shop in Newcastle. The warmest atmosphere I’ve ever experienced, the staff are really friendly and the coffee is top-tier. Newcastle is hardly short of coffee shops but discovering this place is like finding a diamond amongst hundreds of pebbles. Most of us are guilty of playing it safe and sticking with the chains, and therefore limit ourselves and miss out on the best places, despite us all knowing that the independents always have been and always will be superior. The next time you’re heading to Costa or Starbucks, make a swift pivot to here instead, you will not look back. Whether it’s to be productive, catch-up with family / friends, or just to unwind, this is the perfect place to stop. As someone with social anxiety (and who has recently conquered agoraphobia), it’s extremely difficult for me to feel comfortable anywhere but this place somehow never fails to make me feel super relaxed - maybe due to the cosiness of the layout / the small amount of tables, but most likely because of how lovely the staff are, they make you feel so much more than just a customer. I’ve only been living in Newcastle for a few weeks, I don’t have any friends / family here but I never feel self-conscious coming here alone which is not like me at all, again testament to just how welcoming and uplifting this place really is. The aptly named Canny Goat really is the G.O.A.T.

Delicious sandwiches and coffee, and a warm welcome!

We discovered the canny goat a few months ago and love it. Best coffee in Newcastle and friendly and welcoming staff and atmosphere. Toasties are really nice and the cakes are delicious. Highly recommend a visit if you're in the city centre, worth the short walk from the Gate.

Amazing place! Fantastic coffee and cakes !

Loveliest coffee shop in the centre of town, down a little side street - makes it feel like a little escape from the busy city. Always warm welcome from the staff, love their coffee.

A hidden gem near Chinatown. In addition to their well made coffee, they got ‘Passion Fruit Almond Cake’ 😋

First visit and not the last - lovely little place. The staff are so friendly and the cakes beautiful!! Almost don’t want people to know about it as it’s small and I want to make sure if can get a seat !!

The Canny Goat is a charming coffee haven in Newcastle. The cozy interior and friendly staff create a welcoming atmosphere. Their coffee is rich and flavorful, and the selection of pastries complements the experience. If you're in the mood for a relaxing coffee break, The Canny Goat is the place to be.

one of my favourite coffee shop in Newcastle. I like to try filter coffee and I recommended it. also they have different chooses of cakes. lovely coffee and lovely vibe. I hope they close late 😬

The Canny Goat is my coffee crush! Their brews are a caffeine delight, the staff are fab, and the snug, inviting vibes turn it into a relaxation wonderland. 💫

Odd one. The lights were too white and it was too noisy for its size. The weirdest thing tho, we wanted a sandwich and they told us they had run out, but then we saw a fresh batch of sandwiches. When we asked if we could have one of those, they told us they were for the day after. Surely you’d want to sell a sandwich when the demand is certain. Coffee was great quality.

A fantastic hidden gem and any coffee lover needs to pay a visit. I visited the coffee shop to buy some coffee beans and the staff were so helpful. I was given pointers on which beans would go well with my brewing method and a flavour profile of each bean. They really know their stuff.

Cute little spot and great flat white. The staff were lovely and accommodating on a busy Saturday.

What a lovely little spot 🙌 Dropped in for an iced coffee at the weekend, lovely friendly staff and a great coffee to boot. I've never been asked if I wanted a milk, dark or white chocolate before so the choice was great. Lovely bit of Aircon on a hot day as well

Very nice small café with super tasty sandwiches. We were able to stick around here for a few hours before boarding our ferry back to Amsterdam. The service is superb. Can recommend this place.

Delicious baked goods and drinks. It's a small place, but always find that there is a space available. Great customer service too!

The coffee is really nice and staffs are so friendly.

My family and I loved this place on our little holiday to Newcastle. Amazing speciality coffee and cakes! Super friendly and kind staff on both the days we visited.

We canny believe what a wee gem this is. Tucked away on the snickleways of Newcastle. The coffee was mellow but tasty, the staff were super friendly. There were charging ports all over the cafe so it was a handy place to refuel our phones too. The food looked fresh and delicious- we will definitely be back to try the food.

Visited this lovely little cafe where Iain and Will were working. What a little gem. This place does amazing drinks and so friendly staff. Hidden treasure. Thank you for the amazing hot chocolate and they don't charge for alternative milk options, plenty of vegan options!

Nice little cafe and very welcoming and friendly staff. The coffee is really great and there’re varieties of tasty cakes.

Beautiful coffee, and the vegan brownie was lovely as well. Will definitely make it a regular coffee shop when we visit Newcastle.

What a find! Lovely friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The apple and cinnamon cake is 'to die for! Can't recommend this lovely little café enough. Wonderful!

I had cappuccino and peach tea, very tasty. Staff were really nice and helpful for introducing/recommending! Will definitely come back to give desserts a try.

I recommend this cafe very much. Staff are welcoming and the service is always spot on. Good for revision and nice chat with friends. Only thing bad is not enough chairs and table :(
