Opens early morning (07:30) even on a Saturday. Coffee was excellent, and the front of house and serving staff couldn’t have been more chipper. Think I’ve found my new place to go first thing on a Saturday! I only had croissant and coffee and then took away some cakes, but the food served looked excellent so will be having that next time.
Really amazing place for lunch/brunch Bit of a spur of the moment and very glad we stopped by! The place is lovely, fab decor and relaxed vibe Food was delicious. I got the sweetcorn fritters which was a special and I really hope they put them on the main menu as they were so good!! Plenty of gluten free options on the menu too Staff were super friendly and helpful Would definitely recommend!
Really loved the food- great brunch with lovely coffee and cakes. Also really friendly service. Will definitely be back!
Unfortunately the avocado dish we wanted to try wasn’t available, but their drinks(chai latte and hot chocolate)were stunning! I’d happily go back to the place. It’s dog friendly and the staff were lovely as well. There are many seats inside too.
Great coffee shop / cafe. Serving freshly prepared tasty food. Lovely tasting coffee and some delicious cakes. Normally go to another well known coffee shop in Whitley bay, but decided to try here for a change. So glad we did, will definitely be back!
Great coffee and a excellent selection of cakes. Nice relaxed atmosphere and a reasonably priced menu.
Went for Sunday brunch , lovely ambience inside. Unfortunately due to no fault of their own , the system didn’t register our order but the staff were quick to rectify for the delay and didn’t charge us for the food. Food was delightful and staff were very friendly and went above and beyond. Definitely going back
Eaten breakfast and brunch a few times here and always had lovely food. Also a really great selection of got drinks alongside their amazing coffee offering. Portion sizes are not massive but very delicious and the cake is am-a-zing. Dog friendly in the front section and never struggled to get a table but also really buzzy. One of our favourites :-)
