As it happened I was working in the town centre today. Ideal opportunity to visit another cafe I thought. But where to go, I couldn't think! Now don't get me wrong, no one is in danger of starving in Newcastle! There are plenty of places but either I have visited them already or they don't quite fit my criteria. I walked past a couple in Pilgrim Street that looked great but I only had an hour and I didn't really want a cafe that thinks it's a restaurant.
Mikaids turned out to be my answer. Bright and breezy and ideally placed for the Central Station, it has a few tables and barstools but I suspect also does a roaring trade in takeaways. The sandwich fillings on display looked fine, ditto the cakes, but once I had seen the breakfast menu I knew that bacon, sausage, beans and toast for £2.99 had to be mine. It arrived in next to no time along with a latte and it hit the spot exactly. I went back to work fortified for the afternoon ahead. Definitely the right place at the right time.
