Northern Rye

Such a fantastic bakery! I first visited back in March 2021 when I was running past it and decided to grab a treat for when I finished. From then on we’ve been hooked and tend to drop in every weekend if not more. They make everyone feel welcome, especially our dog, pushing our a few croissant crumbs for him. They are also great with the kids, having a chat with them and peaking their interest in what has been made. The pastries are amazing, the bread spectacular and the sandwiches are on another level altogether. The vegan orange/ginger bun is something to savour every second of. I think my favourite though will always be the mini stollen buns they do at Christmas and gutted it isn’t a standard item. Can’t recommend this place enough, but you may have to queue.

Lovely little bakery specialising in sandwiches, pastries, coffee, and bread. Staff are friendly and lovely. The toasties are fantastic, you can tell they use top notch ingredients; and you can visit their website to find out the suppliers. I recommend the Ham Grilled Cheese as the ham is absolutely delicious.
Not to mention its location, on a sunny day sitting by the river, having a sandwich or pastry and sipping a coffee is just peaceful.

Nice, compact space in a nice location along the water and close to the Quayside. There is limited seating inside (stools) and some benches outside. The items were tasty but pricey.

The service and hygiene could be improved. The lady who served me put the bread straight onto the public counter and then put it in a bag along with other bits I had purchased that definitely weren’t clean enough to share a bag. Gross. I also had to wait in the queue as the person serving was finishing a personal conversation.

Northern Rye is one of my favourite bakeries in Newcastle. Excellent selection of pastries and great sandwiches

This is some bakery! Been meaning to drop by for a long time and finally managed to go visit at a weekend. Drove all the way from Glasgow and no regrets! Was thrilled with the quality as well as the variety. Plain sour dough and the seeded version were absolutely amazing. High quality products and great staff and ambience. Keep up the good job guys, will visit soon again!
