Cafe Azure in Northumberland

Its a while since we've been, won't hurry back. Went for breakfast, no egg on menu, no choice of white or brown bap, tea was bag in cup no pot, took so long to arrive our drinks were gone.

First time visit to this cafe which is airy and bright with some window tables. Didn’t have to wait long for food which was nicely presented and good. All served on nice crockery (no paper plates as mentioned in previous reviews). The cafe was also tidy with no uncleared tables. Would recommend and return.

Very disappointed. One hot chocolate..thin tasteless and lukewarm. One tea, in a paper cup..and having to pour milk out of a large jug..what happened to having tea in a teapot with a jug of milk. Jacket potato skins were so hard it was difficult to cut through them and they were served with a sad salad. On the up side it was so quiet that my friends and I could have a nice chat.

Lunch time visit. The flan and salad were very good which is more than can be said for the tea and coffee. Enough said, Lack of serviettes when ordering and milk in a thermos dispenser means having to lift tea cup off saucer if you want milk as impossible to add when cup is on tray. Not the first time we have been here, but not an improvement on previous effort.

We used to go there and there were queues to get in. Now there's an entirely different set up and alterations made to cooking area, no food to speak of except a few cakes and cold sandwiches. Everything in paper cups and plates. Staff appeared to be entirely made up from trainees, plenty of them producing goodness knows what as there appeared to be enough food on display that one person could've made alone. Atmosphere lost, regulars weren't seated in the cafe so they must've given up too. Will not be back, what a disappointment as we went there regularly and knew we would get good food, it was always busy, they used to sell everything from full meals to snacks

After walking a considerable distance with the intention to maybe eat and drink, very disspaointed to be able to select food and drink, get to the till and they only accept Bank card, NO CASH.

We used to come here 2 or 3 times a week pre Covid. Its not the same place and for all the wrong reasons. 2 teas served in paper cups, its not a roadside van we're visiting. The tea was served as follows; 2 paper cups, 2 tea bags in the cups and water, that's it!!!! Find the milk and off you go. At the prices they charge, why can't we have our tea served in a cup with a saucer and a pot of tea? That's how it used to be served here. A thin slice of very over priced cake (£3.50) and you can help yourself to wooden knifes etc to eat the cake. Sorry, but it's nor good enough which is a shame as the setting is lovely. Agh well, we wont be back as others have said, there are better places to spend your money and serve tea as it should be. When I asked why the tea is not served in cups, the assistant wasn't interested and looked pretty fed up, perhaps she was sick of being asked this same question.

What a difference since lockdown, prices up, service very poor,paper cups ,cannot use loyalty cards from previous visits. Many complaints from people in cafe regarding same issues. Thankfully plenty other places to go nearby.

Really love this restaurant at the garden centre. Nice meals or fantastic snacks with friendly service. Great atmosphere and designed wonderfully with all the windows. See you soon.

A large scale, well stocked garden centre. Everything imaginable for a the gardener of all abilities. Trees, shrubs, plants available in large quantities mand varieties. Staff on and to prnovide good advice. Household goods, clothing, and fancy goods available. Favourite feature being the cafe azure. A lrge, airy dining area with floor to ceiling windows and comfortable seating. Place order at cafeteria counter and take away light bites etc. Hot meals delivered to table by friendly waitresses. A good choice of fayre on menu. Something for every taste and catering to suit all pockets. Menu displayed prominently from which to make choice. Service is brisk, and the quality of food is very good, featuring many "home made" options. Great value for money and always worth a visit.

This garden centre restaurant is starting to go down.Its not as clean and tidy as it used to be which is very sad . I have to say on a different point the decoration at this garden centre are well worth a look They have worked very hard to put this display together.On of the best in the area

We're not from the local area, but make a point of coming for afternoon tea at least once a year. It is literally perfect. I cannot fault it at all. Most afternoon teas are overpriced and overrated, in my opinion. But this is such good value. Very generous portions, a wide variety of choices, lovely tea set, as much tea and coffee as you want. We actually had to ask for boxes to take our cake home, because it is as filling as having a meal. The staff are exceptional. So friendly, attentive, and helpful: in particular Elaine, who really added to our experience, by just being lovely. We will be back.

Plenty of seating in the cafe. Friendly staff. Hot chocolate quite nice. Hygiene was excellent, everything spotlessly clean.

I don,t mind paying for a decent cup of coffee,but to to pay £2.75 for a luke warm cup of filter coffee from a jug on a hot plate is a bit excessive.Biscuits, which are free at other places, cost 10p and the staff were generally disinterested,in the customers,preferring to talk to each other whilst serving.

Talk about disorganised! Food was tepid and basically what I would have eaten in a hospital. Staff looked totally hacked off and disinterested. Tables were dirty and not cleared and no cutlery as it was in the wash

Had soup and scones here when visiting the garden centre. .Food very good as is the service with lovely surroundings.

We’ve been here a couple of times for lunch and the food is ok. The jacket potato with stir fry was particularly good. The salad accompanying meals is very simple. A dressing would enhance it.

Went here on Tuesday with my family and I was disgraced at the food we got. We bought 5 meals which cost £36. There were 2 young children in our family and it was disgraceful what they got for £4.50. My father got the Cottage pie and it was full of pepper. Never again. Also, I requested no peas on my plate and still got them on the plate.

Can I just start by saying how nice and walm welcoming this place is, my friend and I went for afternoon tea Wow it was fantastic! Our waitress fiona was so nice and very and helpful and very pleasant, makes a lovely change when you feel welcome in a place, lovely and walm sitting watching the birds 100 percent will be returning

Excellent place to relax and enjoy pleasant surroundings. Grandkids loved it and a good variety of snacks and food. Pleasant service with nice staff. Very nice place to visit and look around as well as for eats.

I took my 92 year old mother here for afternoon tea on 26th July

I have rated average but I am happy to recommend a visit here. It is a pleasant dining area especially in the sunny seating. There or a reasonable selection on the menu and the staff are pleasant. Prices are reasonable and of course you can wander around the garden centre if you wish.

We used to enjoy sunday lunch here, however over the past few months things have gone downhill a fair bit. The staff are lovely, but often the sunday lunch comes with various items missing (ie meals not checked before coming out of kitchen) often the yorkshire are burnt black on the top and one time were so hard I could barely cut them. This has happened many times over the last few months. Now portion size, you can get a small or large, again this is pot luck what you get, often the are the same size again, there is no consistency. Other meals are fine, but the only reason for going is the mother-in-law likes the Edinburgh wool mill shop in the place. The other meals are fine, as is afternoon tea.

You can't beat the delicious ham and cheese panini from here as it's real ham, not the thin plastic type that's normally served elsewhere. Even the ham omelette is delicious with the same thick homecooked ham. Absolutely delish!

Came here for an afternoon tea as a birthday treat. Couldn't fault it. The portion sizes were very substantial, with a great variety of choice. The sandwiches were lovely and fresh, the cake was delicious, and there was plenty of everything. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and made us feel very welcome. Truly excellent. We will be back, for sure!

Fabulous afternoon tea , me my friend and her daughter went for a birthday treat and it was gorgeous, unlimited drinks Inc hot chocolate, we got to choose our food and it was all freshly prepared , that much we had a doggy bag for home, thank you we will be back

All of the food served at Azure are really good. I often take an extra meal away for my husbands dinner to save cooking. There is always a variety of fresh veg too. I love the freshly baked scones and cakes. My favourite place. 😊

Located in the Azure Garden Centre.the large comfortable restaurant is ideal for a coffee or a main meal.The meals are home cooked,and good sizes portions.Staff are pleasant,and tables are quickly cleared and cleaned,something other places should take note of.Recommended.

We called in today for two coffees and two panini's. As usual they were spot on and filled us up. We sat on the low comfy seats and sat watching the wild rabbits running about in the garden while finishing our coffees. A nice relaxing lunchtime treat.

Visitamos aquí después de un día muy frío de salida con la familia. La cafetería es grande y espacioso, y era encantadora y cálida, así como impecablemente limpias. Teníamos las comidas de los niños, bollos y café, que era delicioso y una excelente relación calidad-precio. Todo el personal era muy agradable, la comida era servida rápidamente y limpiar las mesas y limpiado regularmente. También tienen una zona encantadora aventura jugar cerrado para los niños. Definitivamente volveré de nuevo.

Cada vez que llame al centro de jardín tenemos un bocado. Muy buenas opciones a precios muy razonables. La comida siempre caliente y bien presentada. Si quieres una simple patata chaqueta o algo más sustancial y estás cerca del call center jardín en que no te decepcionará.

Preciosa visita hoy nuevamente un bollo de queso realmente fresco con un montón de queso, hijo dieron los niños nuggets de pollo con zumo de manzana recién preparados y calientes también tuvimos una de queso y tomate con ensalada fiesta sandwichera n sabroso.

Pedí un bollo y la mayoría de las otras personas de nuestro grupo tenía desayunos. Tuve que tomar mi bollo de atrás, ya que no estaba preparado aún en el medio, normalmente el pegajoso, scones son perfectas. Cuando llegó el desayuno a su marido mi corte salchichas encontrar no fue preparado en el medio ya estamos los otros salchichas, tomó, y la camarera vino a decirnos que estaban cocinados y su proveedor les dijo que era justo el corte de carne que siempre utilizaron rosa. Mi marido aún decían que no estaba preparado y la camarera trajo un plato de tocino para reemplazarlo.

Never been disappointed with Cafe Azure, have always had an excellent value for money home cooked meal

My school friend took me here for a birthday treat, the high tea was really delicious lovely choice of sandwiches scones pie or quiche then lovely choice of sweets to end the tea.

Encontramos el jardín después de un consejo en un jardinero que había hecho algunos trabajos para nosotros.

Lovely fresh home cooked produce Pleasant and helpful staff Spacious cafe Outdoor play area for children lots of home cooked produce

the cafe is a very busy one whether it be mid week or weekends, and very popular with the older generation who go out for lunch etc. good range of hot and cold food, cakes and drinks.

Cogimos un anciano amiga nuestra para el té de la tarde en las aguas azules centro de cramlington jardín el viernes 4 de marzo. Nos quedamos muy satisfechos con la especial atención que el personal nos dio, de entorno la mesa tan bien para asegurarse de que teníamos un montón de té en nuestras en teteras. Nuestro amigo disfrutamos mucho la visita y todos estábamos de acuerdo en que haría volver en el futuro.

Have not been here for a while and I was quite impressed with the food on offer. I think Azure cafe has really upped their game and the quality of food very good and lots of variety. Very popular!!! 😀

Se llama aquí para el desayuno como Niblicks fue tener trabajo, para ser honesto, deseo que me quedé el año Niblicks sobre la posibilidad de que uno de los constructores nos dejó su cebo.

Tomamos el té de la tarde hoy aquí con mi esposa y mi suegra. Desde el momento en que dicho '3 tés por favor' nos trataron como invitados especiales. Por 10 libras cada uno elegimos un bocadillo, un sabroso, un bollo y una tarta. La comida era deliciosa y estaba ubicada en una tranquila esquina de la preciosa zona de comedor. Esto no fue como té en el Ritz, la comida era más algo pesada y sustancial. Pero con un personal tan acogedor y sabrosa comida es una experiencia que le encantaría repetir.

Café Azul está situado en unos jardines preciosos en azul Garden Centre. La tienda tiene algunos excelentes regalos también especialmente si estás buscando regalos para Navidad. El café es bueno con un personal encantador pero el sistema para pedir un café es muy lento. Regularmente reunirse con amigos para charlar en español y a veces ha tomado más de media hora para hacer 5 cafés. Creo que sólo necesitan un repensar sobre una o dos cosas.

I always find the quality of food excellent and the staff are very attentive and pleasant. The lunch menu is brilliant and the afternoon tea is amazing.

Celebramos el cumpleaños de mi madre aquí por tomar té de la tarde. Fue una excelente comida en un ambiente encantador. El personal era muy atento y venían a tomar nuestro pedido en la mesa ya que había 6 de nosotros. La selección de sándwiches, pasteles, bollos y sabrosos platos era abundante, que hizo que el relataran de experiencia como en la mayoría de los lugares tan solo una

2 Desayunos ordenados (6 platos por £4,95 creo). Esperamos 15 minutos aceptables para los desayunos llevaron a nuestra mesa, pero el plato caliente único a cada plato eran los huevos escalfados. Bacon, salchichas, hash brown (pequeño), judías y setas que pedí eran apenas tibia y apetecible. Mi amigo tenía tomates en vez de hash brown y también estaba impresionado. He tenido sándwiches aquí antes que estaba bien, pero la otra única comida que compramos aquí también estaba frío. No lo tengo en el hecho de que estaban muy ocupados, pero esta vez era tranquilo, así que no hay excusa. Muy decepcionante como centro de jardín está bien. En el lado positivo, el café es muy agradable.
