This is not just a cafe or coffee house in a furniture store, this is gourmet food. We have enjoyed Sunday lunch here for the last two weeks, which has been fabulous. The only difference in the two visits is we seemed to have more beef along with Gratin which was missing on the first visit. There are many gourmet pubs and restaurants in the area which could learn from this standard although at £17.50 a head for the beef alone, not the cheapest. With a drink, a gorgeous pudding and Service compris you are into £30/head. Situated on its own top floor in an expansive open store makes it a very pleasant environment. And you can bring your dog! Civilised.

Great atmosphere. I love their lime and coconut cake though it needs to be a-bit more tangy. I got the new Zealand coffee which was beautiful. And the cheese grill toasty with Persian carrot Jam. One constructive criticise for the chef. Im Persian and that wasn’t our carrot Jam. No where in Iran ever provides carrot jam as a puree. I would suggest find the recipe online. I have given 4 star for the fact that the Jam wasn’t true. Thank you and will be back again <3

This rather civilised cafe is located on the top floor mezzanine within Barker & Stonehouse at Teesside Park. I visited just after opening, at 1020 on a Tuesday, and the place was already buzzing with activity. The table service was quick and the waitresses were polite. The breakfast makes a nice change from what is usually available in the area - a greasy spoon this is not! Everything was homemade, including the baked beans, ketchup, and the lorne sausage. Two fried eggs were cooked to perfection and overall the food was beautifully presented, hot, and very tasty. The peaceful setting of the mezzanine was isolated from the noise of the shop below and the exterior glass walls allowed in ample sunshine to brighten my morning - very relaxing. A welcome contrast to your typical “hole in the wall” type establishment. I have a big appetite and the portions were more than adequate. The only downside was the price - £15 for one breakfast and a coffee - although I feel this is quite fair for the high quality of food and service received.
