Now I’m not the biggest coffee drinker and to be honest I’m not a fan of hot drinks but I thought to try something new why not visit different independent coffee shops in Newcastle to give their coffee a try. Let’s see if I do in fact become a coffee drinker after visiting three different coffee shops.

00:00 As someone who isn't the biggest fan of coffee I did wonder why I had decided to visit coffee
00:06 shops in Newcastle but it is a new experience. I picked three independent coffee shops in
00:12 the city that are quite highly rated just to see what they are like and if I can become
00:17 a coffee drinker. My first stop on the trip was to Pink Lane Coffee. They had so many
00:22 options on the menu so I definitely needed some help.
00:25 I just asked on Can You Make Me Something that someone who doesn't normally drink coffee
00:31 would maybe like. So they've made me a flat white and it's like this little cute little
00:35 glass on a saucer. It was very cool just not to drop it when I came to my seat. But they
00:40 do have little letters on it as well so it's really cute. So let's try it and see what
00:46 it's like.
00:47 Very nice. Very nice. It's not too... it is coffee but it's not too much coffee so yeah
01:01 very nice.
01:03 So the flat white was okay but I maybe thought that there was a better option for me to try.
01:09 So when I went to my next location I asked again for a drink for someone who isn't the
01:13 biggest fan of coffee and this time they gave me something different.
01:18 Okay so next up was Laneway and Co. They have made me a mocha so let's see what this tastes
01:25 like. It is hot chocolate with coffee and I feel like this might be a better option
01:30 for me. For someone who doesn't like coffee. I do like hot chocolate so let's see.
01:42 Yeah that is more me than the flat white definitely but it's still really nice. I really hate
01:49 drinking them as well because the latte art is like top notch but yeah that was really
01:55 nice.
01:56 My next stop was a very hidden place in Newcastle down a small alleyway.
02:01 So I've just sat down in Canny Gourd along Mug Street in Newcastle. Very like a hidden
02:06 gem so let's try it. They've given me a mocha much like the last place I went to as well
02:12 so and given me less coffee because obviously I'm not a big coffee drinker so we will see.
02:21 That is really nice. Not too much coffee which is good for me but yeah very good.
02:32 I have to say I did enjoy trying these coffees and the coffee shops were all so different
02:37 to each other.
02:38 So I've now tried three coffees and I'm already starting to feel the buzz from the caffeine.
02:42 I should have really got some decaf but you know I didn't. I don't think that I am a coffee
02:48 convert at all. I think I'd try a mocha again. I'd be like that's like the gateway to coffee
02:56 but yeah it's not for me but there is some lovely coffee shops in Newcastle, a lot of
03:02 independent ones which is good.
