Reviews for Prism Coffee
Review highlights
Based on 199 reviewsPrism Coffee is widely praised for its exceptional specialty coffee and unique menu offerings, including distinctive pastries and plant-based options. Customers appreciate the shop’s location within the scenic Saltwell Park, which enhances the overall experience with its outdoor seating amidst lush surroundings. The coffee shop stands out for its eco-conscious practices and collaborations with local producers, adding to its community appeal. Friendly and attentive service is another frequently noted strength, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. While the focus on quality beverages like mochas, flat whites, and kombucha is clear, the inviting park setting and personal touch from the owner consistently elevate visitors’ enjoyment.
Love their sausage roll especially black pudding with spice of apple chutney, the combination that I have never tried before. The pastries are very tasty! Their mocha and hot chocolate taste differently from other shops. Really love them! Highly recommended! The shop owner is very kind and attentive! Definitely we will come again!
Loved the feel of this independent coffee shop. Located inside a beautiful historical park, Prism is a coffee shop with a difference: eco-conscious and plant-based that sells a range of drinks, savouries and cakes which actually taste fantastic! I noticed a lot of their food is made by 'Grain & Goodness', a local independent that trades in markets. All of the seating is outdoors but the surroundings and chilled vibe is compelling enough for me to want to go back very soon.
Wow, the coffee is good! Well that’s an understatement, the coffee is exceptional! They really know their stuff! They also sell You & I kombucha, which is excellent quality kombucha that I’ve not been able to find in England until now! Woo! The barista was very friendly and accommodating. I’ve raved about here, and will return when in the area. Also such a lovely experience to have a fantastic coffee on a fresh winter’s day in a fab park! Couldn’t fault it!
Specialty coffee ( I mean, really superb coffee) in the midst of beautiful Saltwell Park, Gateshead - lush trees, fresh air - what else could I ask more for? Prism Coffee has a story to tell - Daniel, a technician in Apple for 8 years, decided to pursue this dream of his for a specialty coffee shop, a bakery of his craft, after the birth of his daughter. Everything here screams of him being a perfectionist - from the milk pairings (an amazing Oat Milk Coffee! I didn’t realise how delicious it could be till today!), to his homemade freshly baked savoury pastries (gosh I had the Black Pudding Sausage Roll , just out of the world), to the beautiful design of this spot facing the lake. Just heavenly. I recommend that you speak to Daniel - ask him, why oat milk only - like, won’t you lose revenue? Why this spot in Gateshead? Why this or that? Everything to the smallest detail is intentional here. It is authentically him, genuinely wanting his best experience he could give for customers. Again, another gem that must be mentioned. 101% recommended. I will be back often, for the fresh air for Baby Ru, the lovely vibes, and that amazing specialty coffee.
Amazing to find excellent coffee in a park setting ( I’m traumatised by the coffee in my local Jesmond Dene cafe ) I had a great flat white . Friendly service and a wonderful setting . Thanks for filling the dog bowl too !
Made a visit to Saltwell Pk this morning and enjoyed my chat with the owner of Prism Coffee. Tried my first oat milk latte, ginger+pear flapjack & freshly baked black pudding sausage roll, everything was on point and delightful. Well recommended for a visit
Beautifully located speciality coffee spot & sustainable refill shop for essentials…Friendly, helpful & knowledgable staff doing great things for the community…With a view overlooking Saltwell Park, vegan cakes & bites, teas & more than you’d expect to find - coffee beans, accessories & doggy essentials too! A little bit of magic happening here
Great little coffee shop in the park, oat milk as standard and top class coffee. We always love the sausage rolls and cakes aswell. Highly recommend if you're visiting Saltwell Park, such a great use of the space aswell
