About Société Café Bar

Located in Newcastle upon Tyne town centre, Société Café Bar is a French bakery trading from 93 Grey Street, NE1 6EG. It leans French, so this is a good stop for a proper baguette or a buttery croissant.

Doors are open on 7 days each week. Mornings start at 9am on its earliest day. Sundays are covered too. At its most recent food hygiene inspection on 26 January 2026, Newcastle Upon Tyne gave the business a rating of 3 out of 5 – a respectable result.
