Very pleasant café come eatery.
Had very nice chocolate and ginger cake with powerful ginger just what is needed when your chest is bad.
Tea bit weak for me try 99 from The Coop.
Not good if you have limited mobility as the seating area is up four or five steep steps.
This place sells to take out.
And there is am outside seating area if you can brave bad weather like my last visit ice snow and bitter wind.
But would definitely come back.
Can't praise this place highly enough. 4th visit and each time, food, service atmosphere have been 5 ????, probably more. It is my go to place in tynemouth to eat and have a refreshing drink .
What a gorgeous place to visit! A very special menu with different, unusual combinations. We found it difficult to choose but enjoyed a shared salad and a sandwich each. Then we chose two beautiful puddings that I'd love to eat again. The service was great and the place was very cute and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit!
Walked in on Mother’s Day morning with the wife and kids. We were promptly seated in the cosy dining room. Food came fast and hot. Bagel, breakfast ciabatta, French toast and Avocado toast were lovely! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Lovely staff, food and atmosphere. X
Amazing breakfast this morning. From walking in and receiving a friendly greeting to being spoilt for choice on what to order for breakfast. Best breakfast I've had in a long time. Definitely, one of our favourite places to eat.
Always a firm favourite for us! By far the best Turkish Eggs in the region! Also the French toast is literally to die for ❤️
Not a one for reviews but as a recent father I feel excluded from being able to dine here as I have a pram! Very upset after todays visit! We had been advised to take a walk along the cost with our child and grab a coffee at Dil and the bear with cake by a close friend.
On arrival, with our push chair, there was a number of tables free at the back on the shop. Which would accommodate us. The customers were actually trying to help us by moving their chairs to let us in. However we were told by a man behind the counter we would need to leave the pram at the front door. I explained our child is only 8 weeks only and can not be taken out of the chair he still said no we would not be able to dine with them! He said about the noise in the shop!? And the size of it however no one had a problem with helping us in apart from the staff. There was no health and safety issue and we would not be blocking any doors.
Our child is actually on an oxygen supply (under his pram) which is why he can not come out and sit on our laps without that close by however the staff member was not remotely interested or even bothered their self to say hello when we entered. I would hate to see the way the treat any other customers with disabilities or wheel chairs! Will never return.
Really great food, super cute surroundings, and lovely, helpful staff! I had the Cuban burrito, which was filled with delicious sweetcorn fritter, pulled pork and light, fluffy rice, all bundled up in a super fresh popped wrap. We also had the fish finger sandwich, which was very tasty and full of plump fish. To finish everything off, we went for the chocolate brownie (divine) and banana and walnut cake (light and moist) and a pot of tea, which came in a funky felted tea cosy. This place is highly recommended!
