  “A great find and it has a wonderful community vibe. Lovely staff, great coffee and food. It is very handy for the Biscuit Factory Gallery, whose café is often very busy in the week. Definitely a place I'll visit again when I'm next in Newcastle.”

  “One of the best breakfast in Newcastle. I went there with my partner and friends after our civil partnership and we still talk about the food to this day. There are plenty of vegetarian options, the vegan full English is the best I’ve had. Get it with homemade hashbrowns! The staff is always very nice, cocktails are great too and we love to stop at Ernie right around the corner for a pastry, a vegan roll or a sandwich.”

  “was taken here by a friend who lives in newcastle as it is her favourite and was definitely not disappointed!! the food was insanely lovely (i had the plant lovers breakfast and a iced oat latte) and my friends also very much enjoyed their food. It’s also decorated so lovely, the playlist is fun and suits the vibe and the service is super friendly and attentive. Also massive credit for such a amazing selection of vegetarian/vegan meals :)”

  “This could be the best breakfast in the Northeast Came across this place when taking car in for service The Cafe Bar has a great cool vibe with music that is very chilled Since discovering I have visited with clients and family never fails to deliver and always a good price The Local Hero breakfast is a must the only place to make sourdough toast that doesn’t break your teeth roll on summer as a great outdoor seating area Give this place a try you will not be disappointed”

  ““The Force is strong with this one” definitely came to mind at Ernest Cafe Bar. Between the vintage Star Wars figures, artwork, and little geeky touches hidden around the café, it already had us smiling before the food even arrived Brunch was excellent, with proper hearty English staples done really well. Big comforting plates, great ingredients, and the sort of menu that leaves everyone full and happy. The cocktails were also surprisingly great for a brunch spot, so it’s easy to see why people stay well beyond coffee What really stood out though was how family friendly the place felt. The kids’ menu was genuinely thoughtful rather than an afterthought, with loads of good options, and the atmosphere was relaxed enough that bringing little ones felt easy instead of stressful The venue itself has loads of character too, with different rooms all giving off their own vibe, plus a brilliant outdoor terrace when the weather’s good. There’s a strong creative and cultural feel running through the whole place that makes it feel much more memorable than your average café Great food, welcoming staff, happy kids, strong coffee, excellent cocktails, and a touch of the Rebel Alliance. We’ll definitely be back”

  “Our meals were warm. My blackpudding was so dry and rock hard you could actually snap it like a crisp! I complained twice, once to the waiter and once when paying the bill. Both people said "Oh! So sorry you didn't enjoy your meal!". Word for word with the same expression (makes you think)! The blackpudding, bacon and sausage were supposed to be provided by the Block and Bottle which are excellent butchers. If so, they would have a fit, the way it was cooked totally destroyed all taste. My son's a chef and he thinks that their menu is so diverse they must cook a lot of the popular menu choices a long time before orders are placed and try to keep it hot under lights, hence everything is not fresh, warm and dry! Awful!”

  “Such an interesting menu to choose from. We just wanted something light so we ordered the bacon stotties and a side of fries and 2 coffees. The order came quickly and everything was hot and nicely presented. The food was yum 😋 and the coffee was nice and hot. The staff were lovely...very friendly and efficient The place itself was very cosy and welcoming, we cant wait to return and try one of their Hash Bowls”

  “The Chorizo Hash Bowl, Green Tea and Decaf Americano were all fantastic. The Hash Bowl in particular was amazing. The vibe was good and the staff were spot on and clearly enjoyed being there. If I lived here, I’d be in for their Spritz and Negroni menus a lot more often than I probably should. Would love to see Wolftown added to their list of gins 😉. A highly recommended place.”
