Sorry to say but my breakfast was terrible. Couldn't cut into the tomato or the black pudding as was overcooked and hard . Eggs over cooked even the toast was not good .

It seemed promising because it was so busy, but we had a very disappointing full monty breakfast. The fried eggs were fried completely dry. The Black pudding was completely hard baked on one side, making it impossible to cut with a knife. The tomato was not ripe at all (so hard) and the toast bread was extremely dry, no longer soft bread inside. Bacon wasn't great either. Only the sausages and beans and tomatoes were worth eating.

First time here and it was very good, was a que when arrived but went down really quick, really busy and popular place, our dishes were eggs royal which was very tasty and my partner got the full Monty he said it was one of the best full English he has ever had. Service was quick coffee was nice only slight let down was no one asked if our food was ok Good value for money and good choice on menu

Encontré Blake en una aplicación que mi novio usa para restaurantes sin gluten. Muy atento con respecto a lo que mi novio podría comer en el menú, incluso intercambiar artículos para él. Ninguno de los dos podía culpar a la comida o servicio. Tomé el desayuno grande con café y él tomó el Monty lleno con café. Sin duda volveré de nuevo.

Vino a Blake's para desayunar esta mañana ya que el lugar fue recomendado por varias personas en un hilo en línea. La verdad es que el desayuno era muy poco inspirador. Tomate duro roca, pudín negro estándar de hockey puck, sobre huevos cocidos, salchichas estándar, tocino y hongos agradables sin embargo. Pagué más de £ 15 por un desayuno americano y completo esperando gourmet, pero me quedé decepcionado. No estoy seguro de que un desayuno sin un hachís marrón debe describirse como un "monty completo" sin check backs del personal, lugar de jaleo, sin embargo, así que tal vez tuve mala suerte?

Came here to get breakfast after walking out of "Laneway" because of their lack of customer service. What a world of difference at Blakes. The staff were obviously run off their feet, but greeted us happily as we entered and found us a table. The service was efficient and the food was great. The atmosphere was lovely, really busy but everyone enjoying a positive experience.

The idea that British food is bad will disappear! ! I thought full breakfast was available only on plates, but sandwiches (stotties) also existed. It's delicious as it is, but when I added HP sauce, which is always available at every restaurant, it was an absolute winner 🏆 This is a small and cute restaurant that is loved by locals.

My first visit and cannot believe it! Been a Town shopper for more years than I care to remember and my 11 year old grandson had to introduce me to Blakes! Fabulous place, food and staff. Big thank you to our server who quickly cleaned up the spilt hot chocolate without embarrassing my grandson, who was devastated. She then provided him with another one which he devoured quickly. Highly recommend this lovely place. Our pancakes and tuna melt were delicious 😋

Came here to have a nice brunch meal with a friend after being recommended it previously. I ordered a simple pancakes and eggs but requested the eggs be scrambled instead of fried. I also ordered an iced caramel latte (the only think worth paying for in this entire order). What I received was disappointing. I was shocked to be presented with 4 tiny, thin ‘american style pancakes’, which were nothing of the sort and I’d requested Nutella as my sauce which came in a little pot in the middle. My issue was not how the pancakes tasted, which was fine, it was the miniscule portion sizes in contrast to how much they charge for this. The eggs took the biscuit however. These had to have been the worst eggs I’ve ever been given. They were so rubbery and flavourless. The texture was so abysmal I wondered if the chef knew how to make a scrambled egg. It was almost as if it was steamed or microwaved and then scrambled after. Or not freshly made that day. Either way they were inedible I didn’t finish it. The entire order amounted to over £13 which I think is quite literally daylight robbery. I would not recommend Blakes if you’re looking for good value for money or to request any variation of what they have on the menu. Because clearly, they’re going to struggle greatly with accommodating and you will be disappointed. I don’t think I requested anything too much apart from a scrambled instead of fried egg. I will not be going back as I know for £13, I can get my money’s worth elsewhere.

Comfortable place, nice coffee and fast service. However, it was the worst vegan breakfast I have had in a long time. Cheap horrible sausages, no vegan marge, but they put dairy Marge on the plate - why would they do that - so dry toast and raw spinach that looked like an after thought. It looked like a token offer if a vegan breakfast from carnivores who begrudge making it. Disgusting.

The full English breakfast is a classic choice, and it's one of the best I've had. The sausages are perfectly cooked and the eggs are perfectly poached. The rest of the breakfast is also great, with hash browns, beans and mushrooms. The coffee at Blakes is also great. They have a variety of different coffees to choose from, and they're all made fresh to order. I had a flat white, and it was one of the best I've had in Newcastle. The only thing I see missing is the toilet could have been a little cleaner. The service at Blakes is also excellent. The staff are friendly and attentive, and they're always happy to make recommendations

I like it here, it's not flash and has a variety of snacks and light meals as well as coffees. I've been coming here for 30 years and it's the original coffee house in Newcastle (as far as I'm aware). It predates the chain places and it's rustic theming isn't all show, if you're near by it's worth a look 👍

Lovely cafe, pretty atmosphere and decor, polite staff and nice food which is quite well priced. My only requests are that signs with the smoothie of the day are also placed upstairs so we know what the options are, and that the soup is served with a bread roll or croutons to make it a more balanced meal.
