At first glance from the sign outside I thought it was just a tea and cake room so I did a Google search for a full English in the area and this place came up.... result as we were stood outside. Went in and asked and they said "yep we do breakfast all day" Perfect! So I ordered a double espresso, pot of tea and a full English. Wow wee all of it was the best quality, tasty and well presented, I was pleasantly surprised and what a random find! I love the quirky decor of the restaurant and there was a nice buzz and atmosphere. Easily a 10* but Google will only let me give it 5 either way top marks 💯
Love this place! Make sure to stop in every time I’m in Jesmond! It’s in an old converted church/hall and has a really lovely atmosphere. Ordered the eggs royale which were amazing and would recommend, lots of salmon and perfectly cooked eggs.
Wonderfully quirky little cafe serving fresh homemade food & cakes with great tasting coffee. French toast was fab 😋 definitely be back again 👍🏻
Excellent brunch place! The food was super tasty and we really liked the decor inside. The 1901 salad was huge with a generous round of warmed goats cheese. The 1901 breakfast brioche was yummy, good quality ingredients made for a delicious sarny.
Be prepared to queue but worth the wait.
The only downside was that it was cold inside on a cold day but the food and drinks made up for that.
Excellent tasty food with lots of options. Well made hot latte. Something for everyone with extensive menu and fresh baking. Cosy comfortable atmosphere , friendly helpful staff. What more can you ask for? The best breakfast/brunch place we visited on our trip to the UK. So good we went back the next day again before we left town. Everything was made fresh and tasted great in a world awash with reheated food. The revive fresh juice was superb as was my 1901 breakfast brioche! What every breakfast/ brunch place aspires to be but very few ever achieve. Well done!
It was really cold in Newcastle and we found this bistro in jesmond inside a church. Really nice building and plenty of space inside with high ceilings.
I loved how it was decorated. The cakes and sweet shelves were impressing for the size and variety.
We could sit down in a wooden table in a corner from were we could see the interior easily, the bar and other customers, most of them students because the area is full of them.
They serve food and coffee+cake at any time, closing at five thirty in the evening.
We really enjoyed this visit but I didn't like to pay for and alternative milk +£0.60 on this days were climate change is so important and animal rebelión is on the news, milk should be at the same price, cow, coconut, almond or soja and in students areas like this one.
The prices were a bit high in general.
Far exceeded our expectations. Set in an old church, creditable coffees, friendly staff and excellent breakfast and lunch menus. Well executed plates of food. Many gluten free options (sausages & bread) spicy Shakshuka with good Merguez, Full English had very tasty bacon & bangers. Thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast with the grandkids. Would recommend.
What a fabulous cafe! My husband and I visited for breakfast…. After realising they done an all day breakfast, unlike other places that stopped doing them at noon.
Really nice vibe inside, plenty of seating area and super fast service! Great sized coffees too. Will most definitely return!
Great food and great coffee. A winning spot for breakfast and lunch. Would be so much better if it wasn’t FREEZING cold inside in the mornings though. Usually have to sit with a coat on.
A really great place to start exploring Jesmond if you are hungry. It is worth to get here by Metro from the city centre. Very tasty options for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Very clean and the staff is very friendly they told me that I can get a refund if I don’t like their orange and poppy seas loaf. It was really good. If I visit Newcastle again I will pop by at this place.
