Best KPortal Reviews

Lovely friendly place and cracking food.
Busy, but staff friendly and customers chat.
Accessibility good, including toilets.
Drop in for a drink, cakes, lunch.
Suitable for carnivores, vegetarians and vegans.
Toilets (through the arch with the stone lintel beam), including toilet for disabled and baby change area
Nice café; great staff. Will definitely head back. A couple of things from a cyclist's perspective that would make it even better: a bike rack of some sort outside would be great and also if you could keep the bacon sandwiches going after 12, that would be brilliant for us!
Everything the Abbey cafe does is fabulous. I was in last week and had Soup of the Day (I groaned internally when I heard it was Tomato and Basil) and a cheese scone. It was a delicious combination, however.
We Enjoyed a light breakfast on a quiet Saturday morning.
The food was very good and reasonably priced. A panini, bacon sandwich and a pot of tea for 2 was £12 (July 18).
Gluten free and kids options are also available.
Would highly recommend for a bite to eat. Plus the scones look amazing!
Top class little cafe.
We popped in at midday Saturday (prime time) and there was even the odd group waiting for a table to come free.
There were no signs of any struggle to keep up with demand though. The hallmark of a great staff team, when service remains good under pressure.
Food and drinks were served in a quick turnaround and to a high standard. The staff are to be commended. Always a pleasure to find such a treasure.
It's not a cheap place, but there's no problem paying for quality.
Tasty sandwiches, decent coffee ????
Although they were busier than usual due to the holiday we were found a seat very quickly and food arrived quickly after ordering. Very tasty and would certainly recommend.
Popped in for a coffee and a bite to eat.
Had a very nice Flat White and a delicious Brie and Cranberry Panini.
Will definitely come again next time I'm in Hexham.
Nice little break with nice sandwiches after visiting the Hexham Abby.
