About Caffè Nero

Caffè Nero on King Street is the South Shields branch of the Italian-style coffee chain, in the heart of the pedestrianised town centre among the shops. It serves the usual Nero range of espresso-based coffees alongside panini, cakes and pastries in a relaxed sit-in setting, making it an easy place to pause during a trip into town.

While the independent cafes near Ocean Road and the seafront give South Shields its real coffee character, Caffè Nero is a reliable, familiar choice when you want somewhere central and consistent.
