Deep North is an independent coffee and doughnut shop and scratch bakery in the North East, started by Phil and Tom with the idea of doing something fun and doing it properly. Everything is made from scratch at the Ouseburn base: the dough, jams, fillings and glazes. A fresh batch is made every day, every doughnut is served the day it is made, and the ingredients are local and seasonal wherever possible.
Tynemouth is one of four Deep North shops, with Ouseburn in Newcastle, Sheepfolds Stables in Sunderland and Yarm. Orders can be placed online and collected from any of them. Tynemouth, Ouseburn and Sunderland each have a coffee and doughnut offer for the Fuelled By Doughnuts Run Club, and Deep North runs doughnut decorating classes for children.
The coffee side is run by experienced baristas on a La Marzocco Linea PB, with beans from Allpress Espresso UK. Bags of the Allpress Espresso Blend, the A.R.T. Espresso Roast, The Good Brew and a decaf are sold for collection, alongside single-origin bags from Hard Lines. For weddings, networking events and markets, Deep North brings doughnuts and a portable bar built around a La Marzocco Linea Mini.
