Northumberland Cheese Company

not every good coffee stop announces itself loudly. the northumberland cheese company sits out on green lane in stannington, the kind of address you might drive past without a second thought if you didn't already know to stop. but locally, people know. it's built a reputation quietly, the way places do when the thing they're doing is actually good rather than just well-promoted. you don't need to be deep in the city centre to find something worth going out of your way for, and stannington proves that. ne13 is further north than most people think to look, which is honestly part of the appeal. worth making the trip out to green lane on a weekday morning when it's quieter.
