Black Sheep Coffee set to open first North East café in former Newcastle L'Occitane store

A London-based coffee chain is set to open its first North East café in a prominent empty unit in the heart of Newcastle.

Black Sheep Coffee will take over the closed-down L’Occitane en Provence shop on Grainger Street, after winning planning approval from Newcastle City Council. The unit, which stands on the corner with Nelson Street and was previously occupied by Vodafone, has stood vacant for some months after the beauty chain exited.

But it is now set for a new lease of life with the well-known coffee shop brand moving in, adding to its collection of cafés across the capital, as well as cities including Manchester and Leeds.
