Review of The Zoo

13 Nov 07, 13:26

Super Vegetarian Coffee Shop 4*

The Zoo is yet another coffee shop on Newland Avenue but yet its quite easy to miss it. It actually just off Newland Avenue down a back alley. Its a shame so many people miss it because it has such a relaxing atmosphere and not as overcrowded as soon of the other coffee shops on the street. Its also a vegetarian cafe with some cracking pastries. I rate it highly but not as much as Relax or Planet Coffee because I like my places to have a bit of a vibe to them. Nevertheless visiting here wouldnt be a waste of your time.

Review of Relax Coffee Shop

Another excellent Coffee Shop on Newland Ave 4*

Relax's interior reminds me of an over-sized sitting room complete with obligatory large comfy leather sofas and soft lounge music playing over the sound system. It makes for a relaxing atmosphere to either sit on your own and unwind or chat casually to your group of friends. I found it a very pleasant experience, second only to Planet Coffee for coffee shops in and around the Newland Avenue area. Well worth a visit if you have the time.

Review of Mr Macks

13 Nov 07, 13:06

Very Average Coffee Shop Cashing in on Students 2*

I'm not a big fan of Mr Mack's. It just seems like a shop converted into a coffee shop quickly to cash in the student market as the majority of privately housed students in Hull live in and around Newland Avenue. The success of students and coffee has led to half a dozen shops springing up on Newland Avenue. I didn't think Mr Mack's offered anything unique in price, taste, interior or service so because of this I will tell you not too bother getting your coffee here unless its to takeaway.

Review of Viva Coffee House

13 Nov 07, 13:04

Ok Coffee House But There Are Better Close By 3*

I met my friends here a few times and I couldn't understand why. I didn't think there was anything that set it apart form all the other coffee shops on newland avenue. Although this coffee shop was often a little quieter so you could get a seat a lot of the time without hanging about for someone to leave. I thought the hot chocolate was nice here thou but maybe they can provide a bigger size for the money. Not my first choice for drinks but could be worth trying at other shops busy times.

Review of Lattitude Cafe Bar

13 Nov 07, 11:26

One of Many Coffee Shops on Newland Ave 3*

On the outside this place looks pretentious and I didn't like the interior either. The coffee doesn't taste that special but its very popular when the older students who live off Newland Avenue. Theres plenty of coffee shops on Newland Avenue so each have to set themselves apart from the other but I don't think Lattitude have got it right yet but theres potential there for the future.

Review of Planet Coffee

Best Coffee Shop on Newlands Avenue 5*

I liked Planet Coffee, i think its the biggest on Newland Avenue and probably the best. Its bright and airy inside with several comfy sofas inside which give it a nice homely feel. I actually had a Hot Chocolate here as I'm not a big fan of coffee and found it to be really creamy and good value for money. It does get busy here so try and avoid going on weekends if you don't like hanging around for somewhere to sit.
