Blue Door Cafe

Use to love this cafe back in the day and would go most weekends. I’ve only been a handful of times over the past two years due to COVID but today will absolutely be my last. As a party of 2 we waited almost 40 mins for coffees to come to our table after they had lost our order. The food and coffee was completely average at best and not at all the same quality that it use to be. The biggest change was the drop in service standard. The staff on the day we visited all seemed very young and inexperienced, while not rude they just didn’t have a level of attentiveness you would expect from a sit down cafe as we had to flag down staff to ask for table water, menus and also for our coffees to be delivered. Hope they can get the place back to its former glory, such a shame it has changed so much.

Made a booking for 4ppl, but there wasn't enough seats at the table they had set aside for us. When they took our drinks order they completely missed the first drink we ordered and it ended up arriving half way through our meal 20mins after our coffees had arrived. The food came out in a timely manner even though they were busy; and it was delicious! It was also well presented and good portion sizes. The staff were friendly even if a few seemed a bit green (not sure how long they've been open, it's been a while since we've ventured into Newcastle). And when we were leaving they discounted the late drink off. Would definitely come back!
