About Caffè Nero

Caffè Nero on Acorn Road is the Jesmond branch of the Italian-style coffee chain, a fixture of the neighbourhood's quieter shopping street. It serves the familiar Nero range of espresso-based coffees, pastries, panini and cakes in a comfortable sit-in setting, and its window seats have long made it a favourite spot for people-watching over a cappuccino. Open from early morning seven days a week, it is a dependable, sociable place for a coffee in the heart of Acorn Road.

While Jesmond's independent coffee shops draw the specialty-coffee crowd, Nero holds its own as a comfortable, reliable option that plenty of locals return to, and its central Acorn Road position puts it among the street's cluster of cafés and independent shops. For a straightforward good coffee in a relaxed setting, it is an easy choice.
