Good Brother Better Coffee Best Furniture




NEWCASTLE, ONCE A CULTURAL BACKWATER, IS NOW THE HOME OF AN ONGOING FLOURISHING SCENE OF ART, STREET ART, CREATIVE INITIATIVES, 
BUT NOW IT IS ALSO THE PLACE WHERE THE BEST CAFES ARE JUST POPPING OUT OF THE FOOTPATHS. 
WHAT IS REALLY COOL IS THERE IS ALWAYS A SHIFT OF A KIND IN THE WAY THESE CAFES CREATE THEIR STRONG INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITIES. 

AT THE SEASIDE END OF KING STREET, NUMBER 40 TO BE EXACT, A CAFE NAMED ‘GOOD BROTHERS’ PLANTS SOME OF THE BEST REINVENTED, 
REINVIGORATED FURNITURE I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. 
THEY HAVE TAKEN OLD PARKER FURNITURE CHAIRS, RIPPED OUT THE SEATS 
AND MADE THEIR OWN BACKING FROM OLD WOOD PANELS, WHICH IS TOTALLY ENGAGING. AND THE COFFEE IS GOOD TOO!
