You’ll find us at 18 Acorn Rd,
a speciality coffee shop and alternative
off-license, right in the centre of Jesmond.
Pouring our hearts out since 2021.
LOCAL is a specialty coffee shop - that means locally roasted coffee, fully trained baristas and high quality equipment. Whether you’re an iced latte lover or a dedicated flat white drinker, we’ve got you covered with a full range of drinks to-go from 8am til 5pm every day.
You’ll always find our house roast Colombia El Eden coffee beans in the hopper, roasted up the road in Morpeth by Northside, and we take real pride in our decaf coffee too. Fresh ground to order decaf only, everyone deserves good coffee, caffeinated or not so there are no stale shelf grounds here - scout’s honour.
If you like to try something different, we always have a couple of filter coffees on the go from our range of independent roasters including Hard Lines Coffee Roasters, Crankhouse Coffee and 17 Grams.
Bags and bags, on bags. What started out as a little coffee shelf with a few of our house coffee beans has transformed into a bit of a beast. We now stock a HUGE range of retail coffee beans, fresh from our favourite independent UK coffee roasters, who work with coffee growers from Brazil to Ethiopia to provide the most sustainable product. We’d be guessing, but we are pretty sure that we have the widest selection of bags and roasters up North.
We buy little and often, and don't let them linger on the shelf either, so they'll always be fresh and rotating all the time.
If you need them ground, we can help with that too. Grab a bag and then let us know what brewing method you would like them ground for. We grind them while you wait so you can get the best possible brew.
It's dead simple. Better coffee, better for producers and farmers, better for you.
Can't get to us in Jesmond? Don't worry, we can ship nationwide too.
Not content with just bringing specialty coffee to the streets of Jesmond, we specialise in natural wine, craft beer, specialist spirits and mini cocktail cans.
We have over 100 bottles of popular natural wines filling our shelves, including Instagram famous Chin Chin Vinho Verde, cult favourite orange wines and Metamorphika’s perfectly giftable clay bottles.
We champion the very best beer from the UK’s thriving craft brewery scene, so our fridges are full of beers from the likes of Full Circle Brew Co, Wylam Brewery, BEAK, Left Handed Giant and many more.
