Popped in this afternoon for a quick snack. I was served at the counter by a very cheerful girl, I didn't wait long for my food and went it arrived it was very tasty. I chose the crispy chicken and bacon wrap. In fact when another member of staff came to collect my empty plate and asked how my food was I actually said "that was bloody gorgeous" I will definately visit again.

Just popped in this morning for coffee and cake with my son and felt i had to make a on your site. The coffee and cake were excellent but we were really impressed with the service. A young lad served us and must admit his customer communication skills were exceptional it was nice to see a youngster with some banter. Well done son.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😀
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!

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.

Great to hear Carolyn, thank you so much for your review & we hope to see you again soon
I called in to a very busy Dil & Bear in Tynemouth today and I am just the luckiest person to have had a piece of their Gluten Free Clementine sponge cake at home. It was the most moist delicious Gluten free cake I have ever ever had! Thank you for making my day 💕 . Great service too. Thank you 😊

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!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 .

Lovely little coffee shop with its own style (and a really weird name). Damn fine coffee and delicious cake while sitting outside under the awning in the rain.

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

Vegan option - quite expensive, but easily the best vegan cafe food I've ever had. (Have had vegan diet for nearly a decade) Fresh and flavourful. Lovely quiet atmosphere with friendly, relaxed staff :)
