Great food. Great music. Tucked away from all the main roads but still close by central. Very attentive staff and lovely atmosphere. Downstairs has more dining space, too.

First time at this venue and was not disappointed. Called in for breakfast and what a breakfast it was smashed avocado with chilli sauce on sourdough bread poached eggs & bacon. Friendly pleasant staff with a great atmosphere and a better music playlist. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. Please give this venue a go you will not be disappointed.

A local treasure - only wish I could get here more. Amazing location, great service, solid food and a bit of House Music with your Full English - what more could you ask for? Surprised it wasn't much busier.

We came to this cafe for breakfast and honestly it was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had in Newcastle! The presentation on the French toast was gorgeous and tasted unreal! The staff were very friendly and kind aswell. One downside is that it is a little cramped however this cannot be helped due to the size of the building. Can't wait to return!

Best breakfast in Newcastle (imo). I had the avo on toast with bacon - there was a beautiful red sauce / jam on the bread and the bacon was crispy and perfect. On the pricier side, but worth it as staff are so friendly. I’ll be back

Absolutely amazing breakfast! Cannot fault it! Give yourself a treat & go! I had the Turkish breakfast, my companions had a Mexican breakfast & an Italian breakfast. All were outstanding, cooked fresh to order & served with a smile. Cannot recommend this place enough!
