I recently popped over to try Jesmond’s new collaboration cafe, Acaiety, a space which brings the iconic Pinterest acai bowl and vintage streetwear aesthetic together in one. Located on Acorn Road, a 5-minute walk from West Jesmond metro station, it is most definitely worth a visit.

Admittedly, I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to coffee, so I was happy to find out Acaiety have it down right. You can go as basic or as personal as you’d like, with syrups, cold foam and milk substitutes available at an extra charge. They also offer a range of matcha, including berry, mango, white chocolate and an interesting matcha/coffee mix which all serve for picture perfect moment.

For the main event, the acai bowls. Easy to say, we were not disappointed. The menu offers up 3 base bowls: the classic, the sweet one and the health. However, you’re also able to build a bowl to your own liking, with 20 different toppings to choose from. From banana to peanut butter, goji berries to chia seeds, you are truly spoilt for choice. The classic, consisting of the acai base, bananas, blueberries, strawberries and granola (I added peanut butter), was DELICIOUS, healthy and balanced whilst still feeling like a sweet treat. But if you’re more of a chocolate fanatic, the ‘sweet one’ which bring in Nutella, peanut butter and cocoa nibs, is the one for you. Acaiety also offer a Greek yogurt bowl, porridge and a range of smoothie options. Regardless of if you’re popping in for a quick and easy breakfast, or a late afternoon snack, there is an option for everyone.

My one and only criticism is that if you’re looking for a cheaper, regular, cool coffee and foodie spot, this one might not be for you. For the acai bowls, you’re looking at paying at least £10 before add-ons then an extra £4 for a coffee with a syrup. Yet for a treat every now and then, I would argue the price is worth it! Portions are big, the bowls are filling and the coffee is good… what more do you need?

The overall vibe of the place is just cool, making it a great spot to chat with friends or take yourself on a solo date. I can definitely see Acaiety becoming a student hotspot for summer 2026.
