"The cutest little cafe with impeccable service and great food. Very cosy atmosphere. Highly recommend their rissole wrap. Wanted to try their pies but they were all sold out by midday. Must be really good. Recommend coming before midday if you want to try their wide selection of pies."

"Great bakery/cafe for drinks, snacks and lunches. Well maintained, fast friendly service, and I recommend. 3 stars for atmosphere because while it is lovely, there are only 2 tables and 4 chairs inside, so great for takeaway but limited as somewhere to stop and chat."

"The best thing to happen to Gateshead- we’re so lucky to have this lovely Thai family set up their delicious bakery in Gateshead!!!! Scrumptious freshly made to order wraps and sandwiches- I thoroughly recommend the chicken schnitzel wrap with lettuce avocado and cheese They’re now doing chicken pork and beef Banh Mi - also delicious!!! They have a surprisingly vast array of slices and cakes- I definitely recommend you try the Biscof slice and pistachio cheese cake but most of the others are also very tasty! Haven’t tried the coffee but they appear to be busy making it whenever I call in. Overall I was super excited when these guys opened up a fresh food venue just metres from the hospital and after countless visits, I’m pleased to say they are yet to disappoint me!!!"

"Fantastic spot for coffee, easy stop by the road. Coffee and pastry were reallyy good, nice and cool with fans too. Staff were super friendly too."

"Lovely staff. Coffee is great and the sausage roll is fantastic"

"Coffee & raisin bread is a winner! Welcome to the new cafe in town. I’ll be back soon to try one of the many pie flavours"

"This is a local for me and I’ve eaten here a couple of times but had their coffee many times. The food is delicious and always served warm, fresh and tasty. Their coffee is one of the best coffees in the town, and I always recommend them for a hot brew if anybody ever asks where they should stop in, the little cookies on the top of the takeaway cups are just the cherry on top and always make me smile. I have found the staff are friendly and happy the majority of the time and there are plenty of little trinkets to purchase if you’re looking for a quirky gift too."
