Calling all brunch lovers, if you always find yourself Googling ‘Brunch, Newcastle’ in hopes of finding a new brunch spot, your search ends here…
We’ve discovered a real egg-citing hidden gem for brunch in Newcastle that’s right in the heart of Heaton Road – enter Fork in the Rose.
Fork in the Rose is not your average brunch spot. This cafe-florist hybrid isn’t just about serving delicious breakfasts; it’s a hub of community spirit and sustainability where you can only expect top-notch quality.
Owner Gemma who has a passion for both blooms and brews, says ‘After working many years in both industries, the dream of combining them became a reality. It all started with a small coffee machine in a flower shop – the aroma was divine and the rest is brunch history.’
A firm favourite at HLN, Fork in the Rose is not only child-friendly and dog-friendly but an all-around blooming welcoming place that brightens up these cold winter mornings.
THE VIBE
As you step through the door, you can’t help but be enchanted by the locally grown flowers that seem to sprout from every nook and cranny which are available to buy. It’s like a floral wonderland meets breakfast haven.
Fork in the Rose is all about that chill factor. It’s not just a café; it’s a laid-back retreat where you can sip your coffee surrounded by the fragrance of fresh flowers. It’s a place where time slows down and brunch becomes a leisurely affair – a perfect way to start your day.
ON THE MENU
And what about the menu, you ask? Prepare your taste buds for a rollercoaster of flavours. From eggs Benedict to shakshuka, avocado on toast to Turkish eggs and a classic full English – Fork in the Rose caters to every brunch craving.
