I've been here several times now and every time it's great; the staff are welcoming and friendly - the coffee is rich and smooth, the hot chocolate is indulgent and decadent - the food is delicious and well presented, exactly what you need after a lovely walk through the park across the road. Beautiful spot with an equally beautiful name.

Se dejó caer un domingo por la tarde para encontrar personal amable, una mesa lista sin esperas, y un desayuno que absolutamente golpeó el lugar. El interior está decorado con un montón de detalles divertidos. Es el tipo de lugar en el que te encuentras mirando alrededor tanto como arropándote. Gabinete de mariposa tiene un gran ambiente, comida muy sabrosa y el tipo de ambiente amigable que no se puede fingir.

Vinimos en posiblemente el momento más tranquilo que he visto en este lugar, ya que había algunas mesas libres y en ocasiones anteriores siempre estaba lleno. Esperamos a estar sentados todavía como se aconseja en las tablas, que tomó unos 3 minutos (teniendo en cuenta que estaba a la mitad de su capacidad parece una larga espera). Nos sentamos y la joven trajo menús para nosotros, miramos y sabíamos lo que queríamos pedir en un par de minutos... luego esperamos casi 10 minutos para que nos tomaran la orden mientras el personal charlaba, y nos pasaron por alto. Eventualmente se tomó la orden cuando preguntaron si tenían coca-cola entera y grasa dijeron que no solo dieta, así que pregunté qué otras bebidas tenían "bueno... tenemos coca-cola dietética..." y luego el silencio más incómodo durante 15 segundos hasta que ella dijo "oh, no sé qué más". Genuinamente esa es la peor respuesta que he escuchado de un servidor, incluso si son nuevos o tienen algo en mente. La comida llegó y era delicioso, disfrutamos mucho de la comida. Luego fui a pagar y el muchacho de la caja dijo que había un £ 1 . 50 cargo por servicio y dijo que lo pagaré. Dije que no mientras esperábamos demasiado tiempo para sentarnos, demasiado tiempo para que nos dieran la orden... a lo que él entró en modo adolescente desordenado y cerró la caja de la mano con total disgusto y cerró la caja de la mano mirando hacia otro lado. Genuinamente sorprendido por la inmadurez de los dos empleados que tuvimos la desgracia de servir. Ahora diré que la comida era preciosa, el lugar es agradable, hemos tenido una buena experiencia allí en el pasado. Pero su tiempo el servicio era, en el mejor de los casos, pobre y que le pidieran propina... bueno, eso es una vergüenza, usted da propina al buen servicio y nunca se le debe pedir "que" dé propina.

I’d seen the queues outside this cafe many times and was curious. We got a table in about 10 minutes and ordered the breakfast wrap and a make-your-own breakfast. Both were good, we also had a hot chocolate and a mocha – both nicely done. The café has a cozy, rustic vibe that adds to the experience. Overall, it’s a good spot for a hearty breakfast or brunch. While it didn’t feel very different from other good cafés, it’s worth a visit if you’re in the area.

A lot of fuss about a “very” mediocre restaurant. Omelette’s overcook within an inch of their lives as were the 20x cooked chips, the lads ate them as they were hungry. This is where it got a bit of a p… take! To have a bacon sandwich you pay separately for everything, I literally mean everything £2.95 for 2 rashers of bacon, the bun £1.40 and then an additional £2.75 for a few mushrooms, nearly the same price as the bacon. Then to top that off £1.50 service charge. Come on really! I did ask a member of staff if this was exceptable however, he really didn’t give a damn! Coffee was nice! Now I get times are hard and you have a million members of staff to pay to stand chatting however, looking after the people from the surrounding area would be a nice touch not just the students who come and go while lining your pockets!

Dined this morning on Mother’s Day in my favourite breakfast place there is. French cheesy omelette was 10/10 and so was the breakfast burger my partner had. We arrived early to avoid big queues out of the door as when we left there were easily 15-20 people waiting for a table, Highly recommend visiting. The queue is worth the wait, I promise!

Very rustic cafe in Heaton with great atmosphere. I went for a smoked salmon sandwich which came with slaw and tortilla chips. Possibly a bit expensive for what it is but I guess it’s like this everywhere now. They have a massive menu so I’ll definitely be back to try the pancakes and full English.

Heard good things about this place. It may have been a good place to visit once but it has definitely seen better days. If cleanliness is a thing for you then don't look to close at your surroundings. Floors near the till area were wet and filthy. This was on a dry sunny day. The toilets were dirty and the whole ambience was one of shabby shabby. The place had so many staff so the place should have been immaculate. The food was OK, really nothing special. We got omelettes, which were lacking cheese and pretty dry. The chips were very good and our daughter loved her milkshake. Overall, this place needs taking care of or should I say better managing to get us to go back.

The food here is absolutely delicious and can’t be faulted. Very big portion sizes and food is always fresh and tasty! However the only downfall of this cafe is the staff and service unfortunately. It seems to be a very laid back environment which affects the service in a negative way. Staff don’t have any sense of urgency and seem to be unbothered by big groups waiting to be served. Today for example, we received our food before our drinks arrived which is poor service in my opinion. Aside from the lack of service, this place has a lot of potential and would be good to see some improvement to the service in the future as the food is phenomenal and fairly priced!

Esta fue mi primera visita con mi anciana madre y mi hija. Pequeño lugar peculiar encantador, pero un miembro del personal en particular era muy desagradable. Hubiera sido agradable haber sido servido con una sonrisa y hecho sentir un cliente valioso. Me di cuenta de esto con todos los clientes que atendió, pero sin embargo se rió y bromeó con sus colegas en el medio de revisar su teléfono. La comida en sí era lo suficientemente agradable - panini de atún. La elección de las bebidas fue decepcionante. Tristemente no volvería a visitar debido a la falta de servicio al cliente.

Cracking veggie breakfast, probably the best veggie breakfast selection I’ve seen so far in Newcastle. Would highly recommend. Plenty of other vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. The venue is really quirky, and it’s obviously very popular so get there a bit before you want to eat, as you’re likely be queueing to get in. Obviously a good sign that it’s a well known place for good food.

I went in there yesterday at about 2 pm and I didn't have to wait at all. There was plenty of room. I chose the breakfast and it was very nice. Maybe if I'd asked for bread or toast with my breakfast they would have given it to me but that was the only thing that was missing. Sourdough toast with lots of butter would have been lovely.

Well, where do I start!! I often go to this area to eat, I'd never heard of this place until my daughter and Son in law invited me for breakfast today. It's quite typical and fitting with its location. As I say, I've visited other eateries in the area. This place delivered on all fronts. A warm and friendly welcome, very efficient service (it's quite small, so you only get in if you're lucky enough to arrive at the right time). The breakfast lived up to the billing and some!!! I couldn't eat it all as its size outweighed any thing I've ever experienced, I'm sorry I can't reveal the cost because I didn't ask, when I got the bill for the 4 of us I just paid as it was definitely worth whatever they charge. The team of staff didn't disturb us unnecessarily even though there were people waiting for seats. If you're anything like me, you know when it's time to get up and make way for others. I would definitely recommend a visit but make sure your appetite is ready for the feast to come.

Día caluroso y abrasador afuera y el interior del Gabinete de Mariposas estaba desagradablemente caliente, así que una mesa afuera (desafortunadamente a la sombra) fue tomada a regañadientes por mí y mi hijo. Muy ocupado, pero nuestra orden de bebidas fue tomada rápidamente por el camarero amable y la espera estimada de 20 minutos para la comida era precisa. Ambos pedimos una de sus opciones de hamburguesas especiales y, aunque muy sabrosa, la mía estaba completamente equivocada o, como sospecho, le faltaban varios ingredientes. Lamentablemente los artículos que faltaban eran los que más me habían atraído a la hora de elegir: sin pudín negro, sin chorizo, sin aros de cebolla... En cualquier otro día me habría retrasado, pero estábamos en un horario, estaban ocupados y mi hijo estaba más que feliz con el suyo. ¿Iría otra vez? Sí... probablemente... si pudiera dar medias notas, esto sería un 3. 5 y sospecho que estarían descontentos por su error de omisión.

Took her shoes and socks off and squatted on the sofa, as if she was about to eject her breakfast, before she had eaten it. I'm not certain why a restaurant, so to speak, allows hippies, to mooch around which their cheese wotsits out. Seemed hilarious to all staff. The staff are canny and hard working. It's Just they don't mind squatters and cheesy sofa's.

Visited this cafe as my wife used to go to it 20 years before at uni and so a nostalgic visit was had. I had the "ultimate" breakfast, my wife had "the USA" and my daughter had apple and cinnamon pancakes. Everything was delicious. You can see from the pictures the portion sizes would make a Yorkshireman blush! My only minor gripe would be it felt a tad on the expensive side for a breakfast and the door kept blowing open. Not major gripes at all as I would absolutely go back in a heartbeat. A breakfast here *will* fill you up for the day

Around 5 years since last visit and let's just say it's not worth another one. Got seated straight away, order taken without a wait. One of the drinks ordered wasn't available which was fine as just picked something else instead. Items on menu are marked for allergies, however would be nice to be asked if any allergies/intolerances when taking the order to ensure a stress free dining experience being a coeliac. Food was average and not very hot. No hollandaise sauce for benedict and the waitress offered another dish when bringing out the rest of the food. Obviously not going to do that when everyone else's food had arrived, not really ideal being told as its placed on the table. Place needs a deep clean. Seen better toilets in a nightclub, really damp/dirty and not well maintained. Shame as its a stunning old building...needs TLC.

Heaton Road is making a name for itself for eateries and independent traders, like the famous Block & Bottle beloved by the Hairy Bikers. We decided to have a mooch around and found Butterfly Cabinet. It has overtones of being an arty/bohemian cafe with weekly live blues music but all we saw was young families and grey-hairs like us - so a good mix! We were shown to our table by a smiley young waitress, it was in a quieter area which we appreciated as the volume of "rhubarb" was quite high. However it all added to a very nice friendly vibe. The menu was populated with many things and it was not long before our order reached us. The house white wine went down well and was really not pricey. We passed the time of day with one or two staff and it all made for a really pleasant sojourn. It's great to see young staff enjoying their job and transmitting that to the customers. One of my favourite words is serendipity - "a fortunate discovery", and that describes this place ideally.

I've been coming here for years, infrequently but every time I'm in the area and fancy a treat. I'd recommended it to some friends so we decided to pop in, I noticed it was a bit quieter than it had been in the past. It's gone down hill. The staff were surprisingly rude, didn't bother checking for allergies and were really pissy in every interaction. I caught my leg on a nail sticking out of the back of a chair, it ruined the trousers I was wearing. I called over a waitress and she just took the chair. No apologies, no concern for if I had been scratched, I had. The toilets were also a bit gross. The food was passible, but with so many other options in the area now I don't think I'll be back in a hurry.

Came by here for a birthday brekkie. Had an amazing halloumi salad last year but fancied something hot this time so went for the USA! This comprised of 4 buttermilk pancakes, a pot of warm maple syrup, the BEST sausage I've tried almost errr ever, 2 crispy hash browns and some lovely medium crisp bacon rashers. The whole lot was really delish. The only thing i can fault it on was for the amount of pancake i wanted more syrup! This aside I'll definitely return for it again. Oh! And the coconut mocha was TDF ❤️

Staffing is a major issue. I struggled to get attention of staff who were constantly grazing and drinking behind counter. Its clear that its a great, fun place to work, but i felt like i was an outisider in their space, and i was interrupting the time they shared together as friends. For example i was finally able to ask gor vinegar, the staff member brought over a bottle, said its empty, i assumed she would look for another, but i didnt see her again. Staff were more interested in their social interactions, and im not sure how hygenic it is eating and then serving food without washing hands in bewteen. Food is good as always, but id like to go somewhere i feel part of the experience rather than an annoyance, or outsider.

First visit as although it’s a Heaton institution I’ve been put off by the queues at the weekend. Happily the queues don’t exist during the week. Very extensive menu with a great range of sandwiches, burgers & salads. After much deliberation I opted for the halloumi salad. Excellent choice although I will admit to food envy when I saw my friends burger & the absolutely outstanding chips that came with them. Everything was fresh, tasty & done to a high standard & service friendly. I’ll definitely go again

My first visit to the Butterfly Cabinet after hearing great things about it. I was not disappointed!!! The food was excellent, great quality and freshly cooked. I had poached eggs, toasted muffin, beans snd bacon. Eggs were cooked to perfection and bacon was excellent quality. Great portion size. My friend had full English which looked lovely and again perfectly cooked and good quality products. She also had toast - two slices of brown seeded bread. We both thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts washed down with hot tea. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Looking forward to my next visit.

This place just isn't the same as it used to be. My breakfast was luke warm when it came and veg sausage tasted under cooked. My some had a hair in it which was neither of ours and when I mentioned this all the response I got was I'm so sorry I will let the chef know that's £26 please. I can't see me returning

Great prompt service. Food cooked perfectly- Salmon Omelette was delicious and really really filling! Peach tea nice and refreshing. Was able to just chill and relax without being pestered by staff...waitress both were lovely and attentive. Highly recommended 👌

This is our second visit in the past two weeks. The first visit we were overcharged. The second visit nearly ended the very same way. We returned a cold breakfast and was told three times it has been removed from the bill. IT HAD NOT! I don't think a farmhouse omelette is £20! We found the two female staff very rude and refused to answer our questions. We live local and have been many times in the past without any issues.

Beautiful food in a beautiful venue, but service was disappointing given the price point - and the fact that the restaurant boasts a Michelin star. We were there on Saturday night for my husband's birthday and shared the sea bass ceviche, Welsh rarebit and cured and smoked salmon- before getting a Cote de Boeuf. As I said, the food was excellent; beautifully presented and delicious. However, it felt that the servers were disinterested and inattentive because we were ordering from the a la carte menu, as opposed to the tasting menu. There were several dishes we ordered which featured on the tasting menu - which we heard described in painstaking detail to the table behind us as they we were served. Unfortunately, we received no such description of the details of the food - the various elements and ingredients, which you would typically receive from a restaurant of this level. It's a very minor detail - but made us feel very much like the "poor relation" - in spite of paying more than £250 for the privilege of eating there. (This was also reflected in the very casual - and somewhat tardy - approach to our drinks, too.) It's a shame the service let down what would otherwise have been an excellent meal.

I used to love this place, the staff were nice and had amazing pizza. But their staff members are so miserable, and didn’t call last orders which meant that she effectively told us to finish our drinks within 5 minutes because she wanted to close up. Bit weird. If they still had pizza then it would bump this review up… we ended up going to Gingerinos in Ouseburn, MUCH better.

Ligeramente limitado en las opciones de comida y definitivamente limitado en bebidas , 2 de las lagers no disponibles y ninguna alternativa disponible por lo que lo marcaría por eso sin embargo el servicio dado por Hannah fue la gracia salvadora y el motivo de la revisión de 5 estrellas. ¡Gracias Hannah!

Espantosos, sucios baños para discapacitados y comida cara. Preparado para un baby shower era ruidoso e interrumpió el desayuno, nos dijeron acerca de esto al tomar asiento. Cuando plantearon el problema con el personal fueron groseros y no podía importarles menos.

I love this place. Its relaxed, open and light ambience is perfect for meeting friends and the food is tasty and plentiful. The staff team are warm, friendly and professional and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and valued as a customer. It's the ideal place to go for a snack or light meal in a most attractive setting, surrounded by art.
