  “Delicious salads all GF, lovely GF Brownie, good drinks selection. Just remember this is a plant based cafe so no Cow's milk. Really calm atmosphere so lovely for a quieter lunch and top quality food and drinks. Not the cheapest but well worth it. Putting it.on our regular list.”

  “Lovely little cafe, staff are friendly & welcoming. Food is lovely, hearty & healthy. The croissant was really delicious! Only thing I’d suggest is asking before warming scones or pastries up, as I would have preferred my scone cold. Will be back ☺️”

  “Bonus of arriving early for the '8 Hands Extravaganza' piano concert at Jesmond United Reformed Church was to find Layla's Cafe open. Fabulous menu choice - decided on oat milk latte & blueberry & almond cake - delicious. Well worth a visit - a little hidden treasure, 5 stars!”

  “This is such a wonderful cafe in a magnificent church. Wholesome freshly made food using the best ingredients and all homemade by the owner Yasmin. Different areas to sit in and tables and chairs outside now too. A quiet part of Jesmond very peaceful and all the food is so tasty and all vegan. Would highly recommend seeking it out.”

  “Layla’s Kitchen is wonderful! Layla was there, herself, and so helpful with my nut allergy. We had the most delicious lentil soup, seasoned perfectly with an amazing herb and seed sprinkle on the top. They also make fantastic lattes and sell Fentiman’s lemonade. We sat in the warm sunshine, beside a glass wall with all the spring flowers outside. Heaven! Thank you, Layla. 🙏❤️”

  “A truly heart-warming, relaxing, and welcoming place. The food is clearly made with love, and everything looks and tastes special. Yasmin and Lauren provide wonderful service and make every customer feel valued. I’ve struggled to find places with exceptional coffee and different drinks like turmeric lattes or other hot drinks with non-dairy milk, as well as tasty dairy-free food—but Layla’s Kitchen does it beautifully. Whether it’s coffee, tea, a snack, or a full meal, you always want to go back. Highly recommended, especially if you’re looking for great dairy-free options.”

  “I really enjoyed taking part in this food demonstration with Yasmin from Layla’s kitchen Café. She is a passionate and talented cook who explained each step clearly while sharing the story behind the dishes, including her fond memories of cooking with her mum. The session felt very therapeutic and engaging. We learned not only how to prepare the Egyptian lentil stew and crispy cauliflower fritters, but also about the ingredients used and their health benefits, which added great value. The soft Egyptian baladi bread was a lovely treat, and the hibiscus and rose water drink was refreshing and delicious. Everything was beautifully prepared. I truly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be trying these recipes again, especially for upcoming Ramadan dinners. Highly recommended”

  “I almost walked past Layla’s Kitchen at first because it’s tucked inside the church, and I was half expecting a typical church-hall vibe. Instead, I was genuinely surprised to find a clean, fresh, modern café with a really lovely atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious. The samosa I had was one of the best I can remember – the pastry was incredibly light and flaky. I also had a beetroot latte, some excellent hummus, and a fresh salad. Everything tasted homemade and full of flavour. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and it’s also dog-friendly, which is a huge bonus. A real hidden gem on Burdon Terrace. Highly recommended!”
