Blue Bramble Teahouse in North Tyneside

a really lovely teahouse, wish there were more teahouses, rather than coffee shops. A wonderful selection of teas & tasty treats to go with your tea. Importantly it comes in a proper teapot, so what's not to like. Very polite & friendly service & very pleasant surroundings. Patricia North Shields.x.

Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Beautiful home made cakes.

Came here for the first time. Had a pot of tea and sandwich. The food was lovely, and I will be having a piece of cake the next time. The staff were really nice and made you feel welcome even if you come by yourself

We had an AMAZING Saturday big breakfast. Great ingredients, everything was freshly cooked,locally sourced meaty Sausage and Bacon, a tasty platefull. The toast that came with it was nice and thick. This was our 4th visit in 10 days (whilst up here on holiday)! We had fresh home made cakes and great quality Coffee on other visits. We are always greeted like friends and well looked after. Our dog Connie is given treats and lots of fuss. Wish we lived closer!! We will DEFINITELY return when in the area again next year. THANKYOU Blue Bramble,pity we can't give you 10 stars!! XX❤️

We came in for the second time this week and were greeted like old friends, there were lots of customers and dogs, they gave ours some doggy treats both times we've been in!! (Connie says Thankyou,woof woof 💞) The owner and her daughter are wonderful, she went out in the pouring rain to get what I wanted in my Panini,how's that for service? Fresh tasty food, amazing homemade cakes and Scones. Good quality tea and coffee. We will definitely be back there for Saturday breakfast (and Cake,of course) before our holiday ends!!! Fab place!!

Visited today for afternoon tea,fabuousl food, lovely staff and beautiful decor, defintely recommend a visit as all the food they had on offer looked all home cooked.

Called in Saturday lunch time staff lovely and friendly could not do enough to please you. Hopefully the toon will win today. Hope to go again before we go home Wednesday.

Incredible food, lovely hosts & amazing value. Loved the new huge club sandwiches & attention to detail with tea timer. Have had a treat takeaway afternoon tea for 4 from here too and was fabulous. Cakes mouthwatering & price better than anywhere else.

Had a lovely breakfast. Cakes looked great

Staff lovely and helpful, food all home cooked, very nice,Toilets spotless. No complaints at all.

7 ladies for....Afternoon tea for Mother's Day. We had a wonderful afternoon at Blue Bramble. Nothing was too much trouble. Great selection of teas and the latte was really nice. The afternoon tea itself was beautifully presented. A lovely selection of savouries and sandwiches..then move onto the strawberry cream scones.. delicious... then... cake! Lots of delicious homemade cake. A great little place. I'll be back for afternoon tea. Such great value and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Thank you so much the ladies at Blue Bramble.

I booked an afternoon tea for my husbands 50th birthday. He has just been diagnosed with coeliac and finding a good variety of gluten free food has been challenging. He was not disappointed! So much to eat and totally tasty. Mine was the standard tea and I was bursting. Cannot recommend highly enough.

The mushroom soup is the best and the cakes are tempting. Problem is after the soup with a sandwich there's no room for cake. But you can take it home.

Lovely home baking, corned beef and carrot cake were delicious, mother and daughter run and own the cafe, little gem !

Never disappointed when visiting Bluebramble. The food is delicious with excellent quality ingredients. Cappuccino piping hot- perfect. Definitely worth a visit for cake and a cuppa, breakfast or a light lunch.

Fabulous freshly made scones, that come warm with jam and clotted cream.

A beautiful tea house!! We had a delicious breakfast and lovely coffee & latte! Very Friendly and caring staff! A fantastic place with beautifully homemade cakes! Will definitely be back. Thankyou so much Avril and Linzi we had a lovely morning.

My daughters took myself and my mam for Afternoon Tea as a mother's day treat. Everything was so fresh and tasty. Nothing was a bother even to the point of putting a heater on as mam is 91 and feels the chill. Absolutely spotless. Will definitely go again. Thank you so much xx

We went to the Blue Bramble Teahouse today for afternoon tea and it was lovely! The afternoon tea itself was so filling and tasty. We couldn't finish it so brought almost a whole nother person's portion home in a box! The sandwiches were delightful, and we were asked which fillings we wanted. The pies and quiches were yummy, the pastry was so nice! The scones were large, with big helpings of jam and cream. It made them a bit messy to eat but that's the best kind of scone!! The more cream the better in my opinion! Each of the cakes were phenomenal! The victoria sponge was my personal favourite, it was so light and tasty! The cheesecake was amazing too! We felt at home and comfortable, and the owners were great to chat to! To be honest, we didn't know this place existed until yesterday, but will definitely be recommending it to people and will be coming back in the future!

Called in here to break up our journey. We were greeted warmly by the owner and her daughter. The carrot and ginger cake was the best we have ever eaten. The other cakes and savouries looked delicious as well. Would highly recommend this tea room.

The most amazing cakes, especially the carrot cake and loveliest staff, so accommodating. A definite must visit if you’re in Whitley bay!

A big thankyou to Avril who made me a chocolate orange cake for my partners 50th. It was delicious as all your other cakes in the tea shop. Avril I will definitely be coming back to order others and visit your tea shop. Was lovely to meet you. Thankyou again x

Well that was pretty amazing, have never had a Cream of Mushroom soup as well seasoned as that. Fantastic food and great service.

We stopped in as we were in the area, and had coffee and cakes. The atmosphere is that of a lovely tearoom, and the mother and daughter double act behind the counter make it a lively, fun and cosy experience. All the cakes and scones are home made and the tea and coffee very good quality and the prices very reasonable. A wonderful find and a real shame we were only in the area for the weekend otherwise we'd be back!

Visited this hidden gem of a cafe in Whitley Bay with a group of 12 ladies catching up. Pre booked tables and everything ran smoothly. Food arrived piping hot. Staff very attentive and food all home made was delicious. Will certainly be returning

Thoroughly recommend this cafe. Excellent coffee, cakes and more besides. Will be back again to try their pies. Lovely place and people.

An excellent Teahouse with very welcoming and friendly owner and staff. This is a place to be visited and enjoyed.

very good all round cafe and plenty of vegetarian options I am a vege but i wanted all of it there. Would go back again felt happy myself going there lovely chatty staff

Lovely place and yummy cake. Staff where friendly and very welcoming even when we was there 15 minutes before closing time definitely recommend x

We came across this 'little gem' on our way back to the railway station during a tour of the Newcastle area by Metro. Looking for drinks and cakes we were very warmly welcomed by the couple running the cafe who quickly found us a table...

I stopped in for a quick bite with my 9 year old and husband and decided to take a slice of carrot cake away to enjoy at home. I can not stress enough how delicious this cake is!!!! I'm sad sad sad that we don't live in the area and are here on holiday 😞

I went with a friend for afternoon tea for the first time. I had called to book in advance and the lady was very nice. The cafe tables are nicely spaced out and the selection of food was wonderful! I asked for decaf coffee which...

Clean, good value for money but most importantly fantastic service and delicious homemade food. If in Whitley Bay well worth a visit

Beautiful food, lovely staff and stunning decor. By far the best tea room in whitley bay!

Lovely service+delicious home made scones. 😊

This was the best tea I have had in many a year. Beautifully presented. Fantastic range of homemade savouries, cakes and pastries made by lovely staff. Excellent value, pretty surrroundings.

Popped in for breakfast after reading a review of the Eggs Benedict on Google. Such a welcoming atmosphere, very friendly and chatty staff. Followed covid guidelines. The review was right, the eggs benedict was amazing! Very happy we found this place and will be back for more breakfast. Highly recommend. The owner Lindsey was fantastic!

We were in for our breakfast recently and the best tea house in the northeast has been refurbished. It looks fabulous. Full English was top notch as usual. We’ll be back soon for tea and cake.

A quick visit for a bite to eat. Had a latte, Corned beef pie with mushy peas and gravy, some cucumber water and a latte. Perfect polite staff. Homemade food was gorgeous. My daughter had a Victoria sponge also home made. Fab place. Will be...

At last, we were able to return to our favourite tea-room after such a long spell of self confinement. Did I say the best tea- room in Whitley Bay? Personally, I think so. So pleased to see our friends once more and we were made...

Thank you all very much, your welcome and friendliness is second to none and the food is delicious. We arrived on a staff training day and you made us feel special, we thank you for that. See you next time😊👍

Traveling from Norway to visit family in area, and it is so lovely to sit and relax and watch the world run by, while enjoying a lovely pot of tea, and eating Eggs Benedict. We are actually back in BlueBramble for the second day in...

Very helpful and friendly lady, was able to provide takeaway drinks and teacakes - the tea was excellent and the coffee very good. We shall definitely go back.

Such a warm welcome from staff here. Delicious soup and thoroughly enjoyed lemon drizzle cake to follow. Will certainly be back. Wish we’d found it earlier!

We called in at 9am for breakfast. My sister had the full English and I had the Highland - oh my goodness!! The best breakfast I've had in Whitley Bay, without a doubt! The coffee was lovely too, with a cheap top up for seconds. A really good spot and definitely one to come back to. (As we were leaving, some regulars were arriving, which also tells you something.) Very happy... and very full! :)

Just visited our favourite tea room. As usual felt very welcoming by Avril, the manager who is always in a jolly mood. So pleasing environment and relaxing for a nice beverage of your own choice however each of which is so delicious. Our favourites are usually hot chocolate, so tasty and delicious, accompanied by a lovely warm cheese scone, wow so good. Always a large selection of home made cakes, so beautifully presented and a wide variety of drinks to pick from. As advertised, a large selection of specialty tea that can be purchased at a very reasonable price. At this time of the year, iced and decorated home made Christmas cake at the purchasing price of £9.50 is available and tea hampers to order for a wonderful Christmas gift or for yourself as a treat. If you are looking for a nice and relaxing establishment in Whitley Bay, the Blue Bramble is the place for you and will always feel welcoming by the staff.

This review is dedicated to the superb 'in house' prepared Lemon Drizzle Cake. The cake is just superb in every respect. I have eaten many examples of Lemon Drizzle Cake in many establishments, not just locally, but around the Country. I have had the very occasional excellent Lemon Drizzle Cake but I can only recall one example that was close to the quality of that in The Blue Bramble.Just like everything else about the Blue Bramble, the Lemon Drizzle Cake is superb - long live The Blue Bramble!!

Love this place though can't get often enough x

Called today with my daughter excellent service, lovely friendly place, we had panini and gorgeous slice of lemon drizzle cake and cake with rose water lovely and light definitely home made plus perfect pot of tea will definitely call back. Thank you again

Super tearooms with the freshest most flavourful scones I have EVER eaten. Freshly-baked every day, apparently. I come from Cornwall in the West Country and nowhere there makes scones like these. Also, the price is more than competitive. For example, almost everywhere else I have been charged up to and over £2.30 per scone! These scones are almost half of that cost. The good value is further increased due to the size of the scones - about twice as large as what one would normally be served. The two young ladies who manage this teahouse are so kind, helpful and accommodating. Tea of all descriptions is provided here including a variety of coffees and other drinks as well as meals. Blue Berry is also very convenient as it is in the centre of Whitley Bay a short walk from the promenade and beaches. Love this place and having been twice already on my stay here, I will most certainly be going again. Brilliant!

This is just a delightful place to have anything from a coffee to full breakfast with options of delightful cakes.We have now visited many times and can only report big positives. It has become one of our two absolute favourite cafes in this area.The welcome is always warm, the service is always excellent. That applies to everyone who has come through the door while we have been there as well as us.Just go there - you won't regret it!

I always come here for my dinner break from work and the food is always great, and the staff are so kind. Would highly recommend this place to anyone☺️

Came into this little teahouse to wait for my husband. Had a jasmine green tea and a slice of the most delicious Almond Torte! I honestly could’ve eaten the whole thing!! 😋 The staff/owners are so warm and friendly too. Totally recommend! Get yourself along!

Staff are amazing. Beautiful fresh homemade food of excellent quality. I would highly recommend you try it.

This place is incredible. Every time we visit it just gets better and better. The owner works really hard and you can tell she loves what she does. Her cakes are incredible and her soup is to die for! Nothing like the blue bramble anywhere else

I come for the delicious breakfast and always take home some of the freshly made scones! The service is quick, the atmosphere is lovely and the food is amazing.

This place is a must for breakfast brunch lovers, the quality of the meat is second to none, and the black pudding (from Scotland) is to die for! You must try this tearoom, and the cakes are amazing as well. Very friendly staff.

Great coffee and tea, fab homemade cakes. Reasonably priced. What could be better? Good comfortable surroundings. Nice food available too

I love the food here, it is all home cooked to order; so tasty and the staff are very friendly; lovely breakfasts and scones, home made soup, just lovely!!

This place is a little gem! The coffee was just the way my wife & I like it and the scones were delicious! I had a fruit scone and my wife had a cheese scone, We both enjoyed them very much indeed. The staff are very friendly & helpful and I feel the charges were reasonable. What more could you ask for?

This place is too easy to walk by, which would be a shame, given its excellent range and quality of teas, coffee, cakes and the like. The team there have always remained attentive and helpful with my requirements. It does serve proper coffee as well, despite the name, and the cakes are all fresh and home baked. I seldom return to such places as I simply move on , but this is a regular fixture for me.

Ah, our favourite tea room. We have been frequenting this establishment for a while now. Most weeks, after a long walk on the beach, we seek a well deserved rest in this very welcoming, pleasant and friendly place. We have witnessed the enthusiasm of Avril and Clare in making the environment so inviting and their involvement in bringing new products to the delight of the customers. The cakes, scones and sandwiches are always fresh and so many other products to choose from. We are really spoiled for choices. A vast selection of hot and cold beverages are available such as hot chocolate and latte, the best in my opinion however they are indulging in offering a selection of different brands of tea amongst them,Earl Grey and Chai tea. The Blue Bramble Teahouse offers a very pleasant environment and we always appreciate the friendliness of Avril and Clare. Now they have a vast selection of different variety of tea which can be purchased to take home and this offers the opportunity for clients to indulge in the taste of different types of tea. A service that may not be offered in many other coffee/tea houses in Whitley Bay. Why not try the taste of the different tea and then buy your favourite one? One of the best placesto take a break in a very welcoming environment.

We went there to have breakfast and ordered the Highland Breakfast, the baguel with avocado, cucumber and cream cheese, the one with salmon and scrambled eggs with buttered toast. Everything was delicious and served pretty quickly!! I would personally recommend the peach blossom green tea!

Staff were lovely and friendly. Excellent for a quick lunchtime bite to eat before going to St. Mary's Lighthouse.

Lovely cafe, very friendly staff, coffee was delicious,, so was my bacon butty,

I have tried a number of cafe’s in Whitley Bay, and many of them are perfectly fine, but visited Blue Bramble this week and I think I may have found the best!

Lovely little tea house serving fantastic homemade food. Great little find.

Fantastic breakfast with really good loose tea.

Go inside. .....and be rewarded with a perfect cuppa, lovely atmosphere and friendly, accommodating staff. Oh...the cakes are rather nice too.

Excellent soup and sandwich. Coffee pretty good too! Red pepper and tomato soup smooth, tasty and spicy. Great doorstep sandwiches with plenty of tasty filling.

We happened accross this place by accident today but was please we did. Staff both friendy and cheerfull. We had tea with cheese scones and was offered onion marmalade wonderful.we will go back with out doubt. But to try the cakes.

Lovely cafe. Clean, beautifully decorated and a lovely relaxing vibe. Staff are friendly and attentive. The food is gorgeous! Home made cakes and tray bakes and soups and pies. Breakfast and lots more on the menu. I had a very tasty strawberry and cream tea, and the best lentil and vegetable soup I've ever had! Very reasonable prices too. Best cafe in Whitley! Definitely will be back.

Great food at very reasonable prices

I ordered a Christmas cake from Avril and what can I say apart from it was exactly how I liked it. Packed with fruit and a lovely layer of marzipan and icing. And the perfect amount of booze going through it. My whole family loved it which is rare.

A rare 5* for me as I couldn't think how to improve it.

An absolute joy to find they served gluten free food .. Lovely staff and very welcoming 😁

A little gem. Great food cooked to order. Prices very reasonable. Staff very helpful nothing is to much trouble. Well worth a visit.

Lovely quiet place to enjoy a coffee or one of their wide range of teas. Pleasant and friendly staff, altogether an enjoyable experience.

Second visit for breakfast. Full English first time with awesome black pudding. Second time for Eggs Benedict. Delicious. Can't wait to try afternoon tea :)

Bright, fresh and great menu. Friendly helpful staff. Lovely home made naughtiest. What more could you ask for.

Popped in for the first time this morning despite working across the road the past 2 months, sausage and bacon sandwich and a slice of handmade millionaires shortbread. Both absolutely beautiful, probably the best sausage and bacon sandwich in Whitley. Friendly staff and great food, I'll be back!

Called in for breakfast and was delighted to discover that it is served all day. Particularly happy with my Highland breakfast - the Lorne sausage was outstanding! Excellent service to boot. Highly recommend.

We came in for some tea and some breakfast one of us had the Highland Scottish Breakfast which everything tasted and looked great and the other had eggs Benedict again looked great and tasted great too, There aren't many tea shops in Whitley Bay but for us this one was by far the best in food quality customer service and price, The two ladies working the day we went in for excellent,

This café has seen several changes in ownership over the years but I hope BB is here to stay for a while. They seem interested in quality, and putting an interesting twist on the usual fare. On my first visit I enjoyed a lemon and blueberry scone but recently felt hungrier and devoured an excellent Highland breakfast with Lorne sausage, black pud and haggis. There are English and Ulster variations - so I'll have to sample those. The coffee is very good, too. Overall, a welcome addition to the Whitley Bay café scene with a friendly atmosphere and good service.

Had the cream tea with friends today and it was delicious! Homemade sandwiches, scones quiche etc and sausages to die for. Well worth a visit extremely good value for money.

Really enjoyed calling into this little place in Whitley bay, fancied a breakfast and was the best I’ve had in a long time, sausages are very tasty with a slice of thick bacon served on a warm plate.. service was quick and waitress was very friendly and lovely... will definitely return.

Absolutely love this little tea house in whitley Bay.. Paninis are the best I've tasted and always freshly served.. Staff are so friendly and very welcoming... Deffently worth a visit.

Called into this lovely tea house for breakfast and had eggs benedict with Scottish smoked salmon, it was that good called in again. The coffee is excellent to. The Staff are exceptionally friendly and the service is superb. Just wished we were staying longer as would of gone there every day for a treat, the home baked cakes looked delicious.

Called in for a coffee and a quick bite to eat. Delighted to find an excellent selection of homemade sandwiches, scones and cakes along with a wide range of teas. Service was excellent; attentive without being intrusive and the scones were to die for! Particularly recommend the onion marmalade with a cheese scone. Was also very pleasantly surprised at the bill at the end!

fantastic breakfast,, tea, coffee & atmosphere. Lovely chatty staff. will be back.

Wonderful service amazing staff and top quality food.

We visited for brunch and were surprised to find how reasonably priced everything was. Gluten free was well catered for. I was able to get GF bread and couldn’t resist the GF cake when I found out they had some. The food was all delicious. We will definitely return and recommend to others!

Visited blue bramble cafe in Whitley Bay today. Lovely cup of tea beautifully presented in a lovely cup (as tea should be served IMHO) served by friendly staff. Worth a visit for cakes and scones if you're not on a diet!

Went for a cream tea at the Blue Bramble today. All I can say is WOW. Great food, great staff , great company and brilliant value.
