One of my personal favourite activities is finding hidden places you wouldn&#8217;t ordinarily stumble across. And the best of these hidden gems, of course, are the cosy cafes you&#8217;ll find tucked behind some of the busiest places in the bustling city centre. Here&#8217;s three of my personal favourites for you to seek out for yourself:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading alignfull has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-larger-font-size wp-elements-68301e90182710c0814dbcdf4c8f0e1a\" style=\"color:#d21d4b;background-color:#f8b2b7;font-style:italic;font-weight:800\"><strong>1) Pink Lane Coffee<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignfull is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:35% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"302\" height=\"403\" src=\"https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/rosie-brennan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23005\/2023\/11\/387573582_1058213575592768_4774680618795918904_n-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/rosie-brennan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23005\/2023\/11\/387573582_1058213575592768_4774680618795918904_n-3.jpg 302w, https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/rosie-brennan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23005\/2023\/11\/387573582_1058213575592768_4774680618795918904_n-3-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-6a4c86dd58084d1cebac9d44aa23e35d\">Tucked behind one of the millions of Greggs in Newcastle, just opposite Central Station, you&#8217;ll find the quaint little corner that is Pink Lane Coffee.

While I (obviously) adore a quirky coffee shop, some try far too hard to stand out and be unique.
