Cafe 32 in North Tyneside

Nice food ,friendly helpful staff

Very friendly team and good value

Staff helpful and friendly the place is always clean

Nice food but totally put off by the very large bald man preparing a buffet with no gloves on whilst shovelling a sandwich down him

This is a lovely Cafe good food. The staff work really hard and are so friendly. If you have not been then get yourself along

Every time we’re over in the area we visit Cafe 32- usually for breakfast so this has now become our ‘go to’ This visit we had eggs- mine poached and hubbys scrambled. Absolutely spot on! Came with two slices of sourdough- the BEST sourdough we’ve ever had- where do you get it from??!!! Washed down with two lovely strong cappuccino coffees- just perfect. Cant recommend enough- it’s a firm favourite of ours now

Lovely place to grab a bite to eat at a lunchtime - highly recommended to one and all!

Very warm welcome from friendly staff. Great range of cuppas and sandwiches and excellent cheese scones. Thankyou, we will be back!

Been going here whil my husband does physio it's a hidden gem 💎

Great local cafe for a coffee/cake - also really handy as a social space following a class at the linskill

Taking part in some training at Linskill Centre so called into Cafe 32 at lunchtime. I was horrified to see kitchen staff handling salad onto plates without wearing gloves, particularly as I also observed one female member of staff scratching inside her ear with her fingers and then putting them into a bowl of salad to put it onto a plate. I cancelled my order and just asked for a coffee-made by counter staff. As I waited the same member if staff was putting her fingers in her loose , uncovered hair, wiping sweat off her forehead with the back of her hand and then touching food. I wouldn't eat anything prepared in the kitchen. The coffee was good. My friend had a cheese and onion quiche which was microwaved until it was almost destroyed- the pastry collapsed and the inside filling was like rubber. She left the salad untouched after what we saw.

Paid our 2nd visit this week to Cafe 32 this lunchtime for a coffee and bite to eat. Faultless as usual- perfect cup of coffee, tasty fish finger sandwiches and a brownie to finish off. It really is a little gem of a place, staff are always welcoming and a fabulous choice of food. If it was open in the evenings we’d be in for our evening meals!! Always somewhere we visit when we’re over this way- see you next time!!

Lovely café, great service and fab catering for meetings, definitely recommend!

Great space, good quality and fantastic atmosphere

Don't ask for a double espresso because they'll charge for two singles! £4.40 for a double. Cafe 32 is the only place in the UK where coffee is more expensive than in Venice!

Cracking breakfast in pleasant clean environment supported by quality staff who treat you as a customer and not a source of income

Slow. Forgot my order, and not very gracious when pointed out. Food's OK and its cheap.

Excellent food and lovely staff.

What a fab little place. Very friendly, great decor , food was good cafe food

Found this cafe through Trip-advisor & visited on 2 consecutive Tuesdays, first one we had lattes & BLT, short staffed first visit but still got the food out, only comment would be was supposed to come with crisps & salad but was just the sandwich which was delicious & we ordered another latte to wash it down, the most recent visit was lattes with cheese & caramelised onion scones, OMG they were amazing & a steal at £1.90 each, this is definitely my go to place now we know it exists. It’s really popular at lunch time with lots of people popping in for take out sandwiches, would give it 11/10 for value, the setting is lovely too with loads parking & very clean! Miss it, miss out!

On a recent 3 night break in North Shields we visited Cafe 32 on the strength of TripAdvisor reviews- who knew my old high school had a cafe?!! On our first visit we couldn’t even get a seat- it was buzzing- a great sign. So on the morning we were due to return home, we got up early, loaded the car and headed for Cafe 32 at 8.15am!! That’s how determined I was! We found ourselves a table and ordered breakfast- two cappuccinos, scrambled eggs on toast and poached eggs on toast. Served promptly and arrived hot- was delicious- we thoroughly enjoyed what we had and it set us up nicely for the drive home. The cafe was busy with people popping in and out for takeouts, I assume on their way to work and when we left it looked like they had a busy day ahead For me there was an additional reason I wanted to eat here and that’s because I was a former pupil for about 8 months at Linskill High in 1972-3 when I was 11 so it was a trip down memory lane for me with the added bonus of enjoying some delicious food and drinks. We will definitely re visit next year when we’re over that way and definitely recommend this lovely little cafe

Lovely staff and wide variety of savoury and sweet treats!

Wow! Wow! Wow! What a bustling hidden gem! Located inside the local community centre they offer a range of sweet and savoury options as well as main meals. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

Got a takeaway coffee which was nice but had a bit of a wait

Very nice friendly staff always there to help and have a chat especially tracey, Angela and Steve. Go at lot and service always top notch.very good with kids too.my boys love the cupcakes home made and delicious.would highly recommended.very nice little team you have there.well done xx

Excellent service and very friendly helpful staff x

My fiends and I do some of the baby classes at Linskill and discovered cafe 32 after going to a class. The food is lovely and reasonable priced. The cakes are a highlight. However the staff are what makes it. They are so, so lovely. accommodating to the adults, babies and the pushchairs. In fact we’ve booked classes there just to take advantage of the cafe! Thank you for doing you do so well!

Cute little cafe which I used each week when attending an activity in the centre. Be better if the serving staff were friendly though.

Very good and friendly cafe hidden away inside the Linskill centre. Good variety on the menu everything we had was delicious

Had a delicious afternoon tea with friends this week. Pre booked it was all ready for our arrival. Served with a smile by pleasant staff. Finger sandwiches quiche sausage rolls prawn cocktail with brown bread scones with jam and cream 2 types of cake with tea or coffee a bargain at £15 for two. We will be back,

Lovely food and great staff. Well worth a visit.

Tasty , fresh and reasonably priced . Staff are very friendly. Soup is delicious, especially the chicken . Food is very home cooked , fresh , decent sized portions .

Lovely menu caters for all. Only downside is the radio on too loud. It is a cafe not a pub and its hard for older customers to hear at the till or have a conversation with the person they are visiting with. Please consider customers with sensitive hearing as well.

Lovely place for a coffee food and snacks and a great catch ip

Good food lovely staff and a discount card available for cafe x

Just popped by for a quick coffee with the fiance and son. From the minute we walked in all staff were very welcoming. Front of house in the cafe was a lady named tracy very good customer skills. Ambiant atmosphere good kids facilities the list goes on. The deli selection ie cold sandwiches cakes cookies etc very nicely displayed and fresh. Definately worth a visit will be back.

Massive cappuccino lovely cheese n ham pannini worth every penny. Was like an all day breakfast. Definitely going back.nice service from Stacey. Very helpful.

I've passed the linkskill centre umpteen times over the years, but never knew there was a cafe inside. 2 of us had cappucino, 1 had tea. Nice tasting, tea came with little kiddies milk bottle for the milk. Nice touch. Coffees were topped 1 with chocolate, mine with cinnamon. Lovely seats, we'll maintained interior in stripped back brick walls. And free wi-fi. A hidden gem if you are round that way

Delicious scones and lovely environment

I visit here most weeks with my daughter after classes at the linskill centre. The food is always very nice and staff are extremely helpful and friendly. It's a good place to take young children and has a lovely children's menu. Only problem we have is that sometimes they don't have what we ask for on the menu and when it's busy you can be waiting quite a while for your order.

We had no idea that there was a cafe in the Linskill centre, so glad we ventured further than Tynemouth as our breakfasts were fabulous and they even had gluten free bread for Coeliac me. My Protein Punch breakfast with eggs, salmon and spinach was delicious and the OH loved his full English. £3.95 and £4.95 respectively - incredible bargain! We’ll definitely be back!

We visited the community food festival today and popped into this cafe for lunch. I had poached egg and avocado in a brown stottie and it was really delicious. My partner had a bacon buttie and our daughter had the sandwich box. Everything was excellent, it came really quickly and was good value. Even the tea is somehow really nice. The staff were really friendly and helpful too. Highly recommended, we'll be returning.

Good value meals, with friendly staff

Afternoon tea was a real disappointed booked it few weeks back for our Grandaughter little treat we paid the 30 pound for the 4 of us we took r seat when we were told there was no scones and cream would we have tea cakes not the same when they arrived the stands were wobbly the sandwich looked like a child had made them and the little cakes we thought we were getting was a walnut cake and chocolate cake both dry not worth the money at all took 40 mins for it to arrive y book something if they can not deliver the goods r the time won’t be telling people to go there .

Surprisingly great cafe, very reasonable, lovely staff. Coffee and a tea cake before kids class a very welcome boost to the start of the day.

Cosy, clean, friendly. Excellent coffee, fab hot chocolate, good cakes and an extensive menu. Little gem of a place.

Lovely little cafe in The Linskill Centre, friendly staff, delicious homemade scones, the cheese scone served with 2 butter pats and the fruit scone served with 2 butter pats and a portion of jam. My friend had Earl Grey tea and I had a latte. We will visit here again as the menu had many choices and reasonably priced .

Heard a few people say what a great little Café there was at The Linskill Centre so I thought I'd pop in and see for myself. Was not disappointed. The staff, although being very busy, were very friendly and helpful. There were lots to choose from on the menu from light snacks to hearty meals. I just ordered a scone and a coffee. Wow the Scone AAA+. Will definitely be back... I have a full menu to get through!!

I want to love cafe 32. I visited on a weekly basis with my daughter for a few weeks until recently. It has lots of positives, but unfortunately a few downsides too. The good: varied menu, good portions, nice side salads, cheap, friendly staff, high chairs and space for buggies. The bad: mainly the long waiting times - often well over half an hour from ordering. Also food/drink prep sometimes lacks refinement eg coffee far too milky/weak, poached eggs not runny, but the simple things are done well with nice fresh ingredients. I hope they can iron out the issues as it is a lovely cafe in many ways.

Pop in here most weeks and it is always delicious. Portions are huge and prices are so cheap for what you get. Today my friend had a jacket potato with tuna mayo and salad for £3.24 (we are members) and it could easily have fed both of us! Cheese scones are to die for.

We have used the cafe several times and never been disappointed until today. Cafe was quiet, so we didn't expect to wait very long for food. 30 minutes later we had to,ask where it was. The food was Luke warm and not very tasty. Tomato paste was used for the children's pizza and was awful. Plenty of staff around but not particularly helpful. We will not be going back in a hurry

We visited for our sons birthday, my husband and sons opted for burgers and I chose the Fish Quay Platter, all followed by double Chocolate cheesecake. Service was top notch, we'd booked a table in advance which was reserved for us with balloons for the birthday boy, always very friendly and can't do enough to help. Food as ever was outstanding, in the words of the boys 'best burgers around' and the cheesecake is to die for! Well worth a visit just don't eat too much before you go

Needs a professional approach rather than feeling that staff have just tipped in off the street as a favour. Coffee was sad

I call into this coffee shop every week with my son and daughter as she attends classes on the same building. Food always great and chef happy to tweak things on menu if you need them too. Everything homemade and cooked fresh to order. Get a members card, it's free, and you receive discount on everything you buy

Friendly, inexpensive local community cafe with a lovely atmosphere. The clean breakfast was fresh and perfect. Really good that the menu isn't just high carb food. Also they run a free membership scheme which gives you discount on meals. Great stuff. .

Was not sure what to expect, as this is in an old school building, the atmosphere is very relaxed, service and staff were very pleasent and the food was exceptional, presentation was very good too.

We were invited to come along and sample the new menu before it went out to the public. My other half had a MASSIVE Nacho Libre burger, a Fish Quay Platter for me, and a make your own pizza. All excellent and it's amazing that our family can go out for tea and spend less than £20 including drinks and cheeky slice of cheesecake to share for the adults

What a great place to eat. Food is always spot on (cheesecake is a must!!!), great service. Very family friendly. Highly recommended 😊

Live round the corner but never knew this place existed.......had afternoon tea which was really tasty. Make sure you don't eat anything beforehand as it is huge!! 3 big finger sandwiches (choice of around 8 fillings), wedge of quiche, baileys cheesecake, and scone with cream and jam. Plus unlimited tea or coffee. Half the price of other establishments at the coast, staff were really friendly and cafe is nicely done out. We will return as menu had loads of variety. Local businesses like this need our support!,

Visited Cafe 32 with a few friends, decided to have the "Linskill Club" sandwich, which was delicious and the portion size was just right. Service was quick and the staff are very welcoming and helpful! 😀

Lets be honest North Shields is not blessed with that great choice for cafes, bistros etc so it was great to discover this little gem via trip advisor and I can fully endorse all the positive feedback.

Popped in for a unplanned brunch and was very surprised! Beautifully, freshly cooked food at very reasonable prices... Smoked salmon breakfast with poached eggs and spinach...delicious.. And the things other people ordered( I'm nosy) all looked good too. Hidden gem of a place. Well worth a visit!

Lovely food the homemade granny chips are lovely. Good selection of cakes with big scones and yummy rocky roads. Good place to eat lovely and friendly very up to date cafe.

Menu is quality products and very reasonably priced. Burgers are amazing and well worth a visit just for them.

I lunch here 5 days a week now as well as breakfast some days as my office is within the building. Highly rate it because of the variety. My favourites are the burgers with granny chips, protein punch and the daily specials. Its lovely to have homely food at lunch instead of fast food and no where near the silly prices i'd pay when i worked in the city centre!

Just visited Cafe 32 at the Linskill Centre, North Tyneside and very impressed with the place. Well worth a visit for very reasonably priced food. Large portions and good menu choice. The burger I had was HUGE! At just over £5 with sweet potato fries included and extra toppings it's awesome value. Highly recommend this place.

The two ladies who served us today were lovely - friendly and welcoming. They're great with my children. The food is always delicious, as is the coffee. I can heartily recommend the all day breakfast and Linskill club sandwich, and my children love the children's breakfast, lunch boxes and diy wraps/pizzas (such a lovely idea!).

I have visited Cafe 32 a number of times with my children. The food and service are excellent. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It's a great cafe in a brilliant place. The Linskill Centre is always thriving with events and activities. Well worth a visit.

A lovely friendly cafe set inside a buzzing community centre, I have enjoyed lunch a few times there. It's been recently renovated and the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. Cheese scones are huge and delicious - definitely a great place to give a try!

I visited a couple of times now with friends and the waitress who served us was Lynn, she's lovely. The atmospheres and food are really nice, prices are good too.

i booked afternoon tea for me and my dad for his birthday and we were very happy with our trip, we had a warm welcome to a lovely presented cafe, table with some fresh flowers. Customer service was great very friendly and happy to help and cater for allergies. Huge choice of sandwiches, massive homemade scones and yummy fruit tart with cream along with quiche, or pork pie in my case. The food was first class as was the delivery and atmosphere, great value and will be booking up again.

I have visited Café 32 many times over the last few months and I have been impressed every time. The staff are welcoming and provide excellent customer service. The food is fresh, locally sourced and presented to such high standards. Their burgers are unrivalled and the tomato soup is the best I've tasted! They offer incredible value for money. I would highly recommend the Fish Quay Platter - a prawn cocktail, mackerel pate and smoked salmon served with salad and thick bread, amazing for just £3.95.

We have just been for a quick lunch, delicious. I am a huge club sandwich fan so I had the linskill club which did not disappoint. For under £5 you also get homemade chips and a fresh salad. We also the caretaker plater and sweet potato fries.

Delicious food, good service and price. Nice surroundings and good atmosphere. Lovely relaxing setting, service was excellent and the food delicious. I will definitely be returning soon!

Excellent food,service and price.Would go more often if I lived nearby.The cafe has been updated and now it is a pleasant cafe to eat. It is also child friendly.

Really enjoyed the English breakfast and there is a kids version too. Nice clean surroundings and friendly staff. Loads of room for kids buggy.

Lovely homemade food. The caretaker platter with homemade scotch egg was delicious. Definitely is a hidden gem.

So myself and friends go for breakfast at least once a month we allow a treat as we attend various slimming clubs{yes I know the irony} but its "treat day". Ordered the all day breakfast today now I'm a traditonalist and don't do beans on brekkie but that's just me. it comes with Bacon &sausage;{75%meat} fried or scrambled or poached egg [free range],black pudding mushrooms grilled tomatoes,beans and toast{white or brown} this was delicious and well worth the £4.95 its all cooked fresh, so expect a little delay.The offer for a tea or coffee with cake or scone for £3.00 is worth it too, I opted for the fruit scone it was nearly the size of the plate very moist, the teabags are made on site and it comes with a sand timer so when its done your tea is ready to pour. well worth a visit to this little gem and if you're in North Shields it's in the Linskill centre, Lynn is lovely too very knowledgable and passionate, for the weightwatchers amongst you they offer no count food options which include Chilli with wholegrain rice, sweet potato fries and burgers they are starred on the menu.

I work in the centre on weekends and the cafe has never failed to provide delicious, filling food for great value. Everything is made fresh, including the soups which are so tasty and healthy. Cafe 32 has some really health-conscious meals on the menu, including what they call the 'protein punch' which is salmon and scrambled eggs - amazing for before/after a workout.

I work in the centre where this Cafe is and I can't believe how many people don't know about it. It rivals most high street places, the food is fresh and awesome, and so cost effective
