Cafe 252 not just a typical café — it’s a place of welcome with a focus on community support as well as great coffee and food.

The café offers:

•  Quality coffee, tea, milk shakes, thickshakes
•  Full throttle pies, toasties and home made banana cake
• Catering for lunches - at the cafe or for collection on the day
• A welcoming space for locals to connect and socialise
• A 'pay it forward' system where customers can pre-purchase meals or drinks for someone in need
   

What makes Cafe 252 unique is that all proceeds help fund Grainery Care’s charity programs, including food relief, crisis support, and community outreach services across the Newcastle region. 

It also regularly hosts or supports community activities such as  craft mornings, support gatherings, and informal meetups, making it feel  more like a community hub than a standard café. 

The atmosphere is intentionally inclusive and relaxed — it’s designed  so anyone can walk in, have a coffee, feel welcome, and potentially  access support if they need it.
