Cafe No 6 in Northumberland

I'm on record as having said on many occasions that if they awarded PhDs for scone-tasting, I should have a dozen. I've eaten scones in venues from the Orkney Islands to Australia and written about them in more publications than I could possibly remember. So, you can take my word for it that the freshly-baked, home-made scones (with butter and strawberry jam) at No.6 are quite possibly the best I've tasted in recent years. Cafe No 6 is a quaint place with a very atmospheric first-floor eating area, a delightful owner and staff who look like they are actually enjoying the job they do. My wife and I were just as impressed with the special 'doggy menu' on offer. We shall be back!

Great tasting coffee. 3 tables outside. Scones and jam looked absolutely delicious. Welcoming servers! Very handy if you are shopping the main street

We enjoyed a lovely hot chocolate and coffees last weekend - it was very quiet when we arrived but soon got busy. We were seated upstairs with a table overlooking the square. The menu looked nice and I could hear other customers saying how much they had enjoyed the food. The girls serving were very polite....a nice pitstop whilst visiting Corbridge.

This is a delightful cafe in the market square. On a hot day we stopped and sat inside for lunch. The serving staff are friendly and we ordered two sandwich, iced coffee and Anna American. This was really well done - homely fare but very tasty and great value. A lovely little place to stop.

Had lunch here recently with my husband. We sat outside and ordered our food inside. I enquired about gluten free options and was offered a panini with ham and salad filling. The panini was baked to order in its protective wrapping ( important to coeliacs) The presentation of food was good, as was the service and attention to detail. Would recommend this cafe if you are in the area.

We were visiting Corbridge and came across the cafe as we we’re walking back to the car. Very nice welcome, friendly staff. We sat upstairs and we both had scone with jam, clotted cream. My partner had a cappuccino and I had a flavored tea. The service was quick and the food, drink was really nice. The cafe itself seemed a bit dated upstairs, seemed a bit messy with chairs scattered on tables, maybe this was for Covid restrictions, I’m not sure but just seemed a bit messy. There was boxed that had been delivered just left on another table and it just seemed a bit messy. I would recommend maybe some background music upstairs as there was nothing and just seemed it was missing something. Overall the food, drink and staff were great, just felt the cafe itself just needed a bit of TLC and tidying upstairs before customers arrived.

Prompt service by friendly staff. Nice choice of options on the menu. Great value. We took advantage of a table near to the fire. Very cosy.

Despite arriving just as breakfast was finishing, the staff were more than happy to cook me a full English. The food was prompt, fresh, beautifully prepared and, I believe, locally sourced. The decaf coffee was the best I’ve ever tasted. The busy serving team was friendly, polite and attentive throughout and, between handling orders, maintained a very thorough and reassuring sanitising regime. Great food, great service. Will definitely be back.

Popped in for a full english breakfast and an americano, waited around ten minutes which was good considering they had quite a few customers upstairs awaiting there drinks and food! Staff are very polite and welcoming and very good banter can be had regardless of the chaos. The layout of the small but quirky cafe is well thought of with these unique tmes with track and trace and sanitisers to hand keeping all staff and customers as safe as possible. The food is amazing and I even had a scone with cream and jam to finish my meal off. Couldn't ask for a better morning and would definitely recommend to anyone to visit this cafe even if you were just passing through.

Arrived lunchtime 21 August. One table of four persons were on the ground floor, and we were asked to go upstairs. We waited & waited. A waitress even came up to clear another table...no offer of taking the order, thinking she'd be back up shortly. No way! Eventually had to go down and ask to be served. As per previous Mrs customer, no apology, nor "was everything all right?"

Terrible service were the only couple on arriving waited 45 mins for our breakfast it didn’t arrive were told they had a rush on when we went down to pay for the coffees the cafe was full obviously we had been forgotten as customers around us who came in after us had been served we received no apology whatsoever

Popped in just as they were about to close at 4pm. Still made welcome and willing to serve us a large pot of tea. Cafe is pleasant and the food on display looked nice. Good cleaning regime in place and upstairs toilet was nice and clean Would go back when we have more time. Nice that the tea was half price due to Eat Out initiative

Came across this coffee shop whilst looking for a restaurant to ear the following evening. Couldn’t fault the lemon and elderflower sponge. Excellent service and reasonably priced.

A warm welcome awaits visitors to Cafe No 6, the staff are friendly and eager to please, good quality food and some amazing cakes on offer, the cafe is COVID compliant, staff take great care. Good food, great prices and great staff

Living in the village this is my ‘place to go’,it’s has the best coffee in the village,small outside seating,but two floors of indoor seating.and so very dog friendly. Wonderful dog area upstairs,with water bowls,biscuits . Amazing scones,but get there as soon as you can as often sell out....they really are that good. Cakes and we love the Paninis,we being myself and my little Shorkie Belle ..Cafe NO6 is in the market place almost hidden,but you just have to ask were it is to have the best cakes,coffee and more in Corbridge

Love Cafe No6 even before Covid pandemic it was a fave for my dog..Oh and myself.she will not not walk past it,lol. During this pandemic takeaway service has been top quality,and still fabulous service

We called into café no 6 for coffee and scones. As we had a dog with us we sat upstairs in dog friendly area. The staff are very pleasant and coffee and scones where very tasty. Downstairs area has nice coal fire burning which gives it very cosy atmosphere.

A lovely place to stop for a light lunch as we wandered round the historic and picturesque town of Corbridge. We all enjoyed our brie/bacon and cranberry toasties or soup, served by friendly staff in front of a glowing fire.

Nice if you just want a cuppa or a snack. Clean and the staff are very pleasant.They do breakfast as well

A lovely small cafe with a big welcome and lovely friendly staff. There is a good selection of foods available at fair prices. And they do offer perfectly prepared coffee. We each had double expresso with warm milk on the side . A glass of water was offered to each without us having to ask which was much appreciated.It was great to hear the staff planning their home cooked dishes for the menu.

Called here for pot of tea and a scone on a beautiful sunny afternoon. Three tables outside at front where I sat and enjoyed lemon and ginger tea with a fruit scone in the sunshine. Scone was nice but rather sugary! Nice loos upstairs and very pleasant young waitress. Good place to rest your feet and watch people bustling about this pretty small town.

We visited the cafe at lunchtime with our little dog and were made extremely welcome by the lovely friendly staff at the cafe. The food was freshly prepared and delicious.z

Popped in for a mid-afternoon coffee. Pleasant staff, lovely cakes and clean and homely cafe. Would recommend the scones, although all the cakes looked delicious.

Excellent panini and ploughman’s lunch. Friendly and welcoming staff. Premises very clean. Highly recommend lunch here. Thank you ladies.

Nice attention to details, lemon and elderflower cake was delicious and milestone soup brill. Thanks again... Welcome break from the rain.

Stopped off for a coffee but were tempted by the food offerings so decided to stay for lunch/cake. Scones and cake were lovely and sandwiches tasty.

My partner and I stopped off here on our way to Hexham.Inside the premises are clean and cosy and have a nice feel. We went upstairs and had a nice view over the square. The service was quick and polite. Unfortunately, this is were the positives stopped. My partner had a carrot and coriander soup which tasted only of carrots, and had little or no seasoning. I had a jacket potatoe with "Coronation chicken". However the potatoe could have easily fitted in the palm of my hand and could have been devoured in about three mouthfuls. As for the filling I have to say I have never encountered a Coronation Chicken like this before. It seemed to consist of what appeared to be a thick sweet sauce with a couple of pieces of chicken, no mayonnaise in sight. Overall it was a very disappointing experience, needless to say we will not be going back.

Reasonable cake, nothing amazing but pleasant enough. Not great milkshake. Very pleasant staff and comfy sofas upstairs

Seemed a nice enough place, and the lady serving was very pleasant- but that is where the positives ended.

Lovely café, called on a cold windy day and was welcomed by an open fire. Food choices were lovely and all made to order , cakes homemade. Coffee was good. Staff friendly and helpful. Will certainly visit again great customer service.

After a walk along the river we headed into the village looking for a dog friendly cafe , we weren’t disappointed , upstairs is for dogs , comfy sofa , beautiful scones and doggie treat for our Labrador , who was very much at home .

Lovely little cafe, friendly staff. The scones were delicious! Tea & coffe were also very good. Highly recommend!

Popped in for coffee after a lovely dog walk, very disappointing! The latte was basically a cup of watery milk, americano very weak and no taste. We brought this to the waitresses attention who kindly took them away but horrified that she came back with the same coffees in the same cups with supposedly an extra shot in each. Looked and tasted no different and when we came to pay we had been charged extra. There are many other coffee shops in Corbridge to choose from therefore will not return.

After a cold morning walk along the river we called in here just as it was opening. Greeted by friendly staff and the lovely smell of bacon cooking from the kitchen. Sat by an open log fire which soon warmed us up. Plenty of choice on varied menu which covered breakfast and lunch. It is a dog friendly place and there is a doggie dinner quoted on the menu. We thoroughly our visit and will return. Thank you.

Called here on a cold November morning. We had a table next to a very welcoming open fire, so a good start. Although it was 11.30 we just managed to arrive before breakfast menu finished and I enjoyed a fully cooked breakfast. It was very fresh and came with tea (or coffee) and toast. I had tea, and this was in a good sized pot. My wife had an egg bap. The menu is fairly extensive for a smallish cafe and the home made cakes looked very good, though we didn't try them today.

We visited on a chilly November afternoon for tea and cakes. The fire was lit so of course we grabbed the table right next to it. The staff were lovely and we ordered tea and choc brownie and choc almond cake all of which were wonderful. Next time we’ll get there in time for lunch.

Have visited several times, always pleasant staff, nice cakes, pleasant atmosphere. Comfortable sofas and chairs upstairs. Nice to see a real fire this chilly morning!

Stumbled across this little gem whilst on a stroll with the missus in this charming village. A homely establishment and friendly/excellent service from the young team. Nice coffee and then the best Ploughman’s I’ve had in years. Served on a big wooden board, which it filled, and included 3 generous slabs of cheese and the ham was top notch. The missus enjoyed her tattie and we were happy with the price. Hereby recommended.

Stopped here as it was dog friendly. Upstairs where dogs are allowed is nice and bright. Had panini and coffee each and our dog was given a biscuit and made a fuss of which was nice. Food was tasty and homemade beetroot relish was nice. Staff very friendly and very clean.

Stopped in for lunch on first visit to Corbridge. Should have read the menu more closely as they offer jacket potato as opposed to baked. Microwaved potato was a disappointment. Ordered Coronation chicken filling but was given strips of Chicken in a lot of very sweet mango chutney. Not the curried mayonnaise I was expecting. That said it was ok, but very sweet. The salad and coleslaw were fine. My husband enjoyed his Brie, bacon and cranberry panini. Having selected a downstairs table I went up to the (very clean) toilet and discovered a lovely room with fairy lights, sofas and the usual cafe tables. Wished we’d sat up there but when you’ve never been before you don’t know.

Found Cafe No 6 on recent trip to Corbridge. Excellent food, great staff, quick service. We had a bowl of soup with crusty bread and couldn't fault it at all We sat downstairs but upstairs is a lovely welcoming room with tables for a meal or cosy sofa and comfy chair if you are just having a drink and cake. Try this little cafe out, you won't be disappointed.

Popped in for a drink and a snack. Good ham and pease pudding sandwiches supplied with good drinks, by a group of ladies running the show with good humour and happy smiles.

After a gentle stroll round Corbridge we called into this cafe for a cuppa and a cake.Very pleasant ladies served us.We chose a pot of tea and a peppermint tea, lemon and elderflower cake and Bakewell tart.Both were homemade and deliciously flavoursome and light.We sat outside in the sun which was delightful overlooking the beautiful church.Recommended.

Stopped off at Cafe No 6 with a group of friends for a catch-up. Very welcoming staff, comfortable seating arrangement and quick service. Sandwiches served with homemade coleslaw, salad and crisps just what you need to fill a hole! Coffee is very tasty too, will be returning.

£20 for 2 people. Got charged an extra £2.00 for apple juice as we did not want to drink tea or coffee on a hot day. So overall £20. 1 x Sandwich each cut up into small bits. 1 x Scone 1 x Cake.

Nice Staff, good range of lunches and light bites. Quality environment and pleasing atmosphere. Would recommend.

We just had simple drinks here. Nothing earth-shattering to say, just a pleasant place for a coffee (and free wifi).Would come again.

Stopped here for a cake and a pot of tea. Scones- all gone. Little selection left at 1:45. Pot of tea was OK. Cannot write much else as there was little to buy that we can comment on.

Thought it was time to do a review as we have enjoyed Cafe No.6 several times. We have been lucky enough to sit outside and eat in the sunshine, which was perfect. The food is scrummy, particularly the cakes and scones. Everyone is so friendly it feels like seeing old friends. Top class place.

Just wanted a takeout coffee so we could enjoy sitting in the square. No dairy-free milk option available so no latte for me, just an Americano for hubby. Waitress was friendly, coffee served way too hot though. Menus looked like they'd seen better days.

Slow service, tiny portions, microwaved jacket potatoes, over priced for size of portion. Not impressed. Bad choice, go somewhere else. Plenty of choice around.

We had a quick stop for a coffee and it was very pleasant! The staff was very friendly, they accept dogs which is amazing and the food of course was great.

A warm friendly café in the square. We dropped in for a snack and tea and loved the place immediately. Quick friendly service and a warm coal fire.

A lovely cafe right in the centre of the town very welcoming and friendly staff food is very good food

dropped in for something to drink while waiting for my bus. Coal fire very cheering as was the staff member who served me promptly. Lovely cup of tea, did not have anything to eat as short of time but cakes looked very tempting so may try next time.

A bit snowy out today. Just completed a 3 mile walk and I was cold. I got the special soup and a sandwich and a latte. The service was first rate and the meal fantastic. I’ve been loads of times over the years and it’s always great. Thanks to the staff.

I have just had a lovely lunch with my very elderly parents and my two small dogs. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and we had their winter special of a small soup with half sandwich which was perfect for my parents’ small appetites and slow eating. The dogs were provided with a bowl of water and dog biscuits too.

Not a massive menu, and its basic, nothing imaginative. Service was Ok, coffee was ok. You'll get a decent lunch or piece of cake, but there's plenty of competition in the village.

Lovely choice of snacks, menu looked inviting. Nice range of home baking. Friendly reception, especially to our small friendly dog....

We arrived around 2pm on a Saturday for a sandwich and a coffee and we were warned of a 20...

Visiting the local area my friends and I wanted a nice cuppa so we strolled into No.6, ordered coffees, teas and cake. The drinks came and the waitress spilled some of my coffee and the whole jug of milk over my friend, they also forgot the we had ordered cake and we had to remind them, all this being said we had a laugh and a joke about it all and the service was that bad at all. It's actually a very nice pretty little café. But due to the spillage and no reparations for it it only gets 2*

We haven't been to cafe No 6 for some time and we had some time so spare this morning so decided on a coffee at Cafe No 6.

Paramos en una tarde lluviosa de domingo. Nuestro perro era permitido en la zona de arriba cómoda. Sándwiches y té y café.

En nuestro camino a casa paramos para una taza de café. Encontramos Café No. 6 abierto en 4. 10:00 pm así que nos fuimos.

We ate here twice during our week in Corbridge. We had a panini, and a soup/sandwich combo for lunch both of which were good and reasonably priced. We also had a strawberry Sundae (strawberries freshly bought from the green graders next door!) which was also very good. We also had the full English breakfast later in the week. Friendly service both times, and good value.

Great little place. Very comfortable, well priced and had some toys and colouring books for the kids. Bacon sandwich was excellent!

Stopped in for a quick bite, ended up waiting about 30 minutes for a coffee and a panini. Spent the time working out how we'd organise the place so that people actually got served and it made money (the fact that most patrons spent twice as long as needed at their table meant that several potential customers were turned away). Bewildering how this still goes on today!

We popped in here to grab a scone and a cup of tea to take with us. This is primarily a sit down restaurant with a casual friendly atmosphere. The staff were happy to accommodate our take and go requirements, making sure we had milk, or sugar as needed for the tea, and asking if we wanted butter or jam on the scones. The scones were lovely, very light and tasty. We had them with just a hint of butter, but they were so fresh you could eat them on their own. Friendly place, prompt service, and good seating. Good views of Corbridge if you want a cup of tea and place to watch the world go by.

Super cafe, we both had soup and sandwich which was very enjoyable. Everything was so fresh and tasty. The staff were very friendly and obliging and good value. We did not bring the dog with us on this occasion but definitely will next time.

So we heard that there was a cafe in corbridge that was dog friendly and we had to try it out and we were glad we did,We had a fantastic lunch at cafe No.6, I had the soup and sandwich offer and my girlfriend had the ploughman's. both were fresh and great value. I would recommend this place to everyone, the walks around the area are lovely and is a must, there is free parking near the cafe. ( need to purchase a parking disc only £1) but you get around three hours free. Corbridge itself is lovelyDo visit

Great cakes, pleasant staff, fair price, thoroughly enjoyed our breif visit while touring the area. A great place for a cuppa or more

Nice to find a doggie friendly tea room. We had the 1st floor room with a lovely view of the square to ourselves. Traditional selection of cakes and tray bakes... No gluten free options but very tasty. Lovely cookies and millionaire shortbread and really smooth coffee.

Called in as we saw the reviews on here, we weren't disappointed the food is lovely and the staff are very friendly. The breakfast was lovely and we managed to save some for our dogs who also approved

When in Corbridge, bee-line for Café no. 6 on the corner of the market square (by the excellent greengrocer). Have lunched / afternoon tea there a couple of times. Homemade soup (daily changing) has been fantastic. Sandwiches are lovely and fresh. Amazing homely yummy cakes. Good prices - but excellent real food costs appropriately, so pay that pound or so more for this quality.

Café No. 6 offers a warm welcome in pleasant surroundings. Coffee is very good and tea cakes / crumpets very appetising.

I thought I'd leave a review as we often visit corbridge and we ALWAYS choice cafe no 9. Various seating up and downstairs. Comfortable. Attentive staff. Good prices. Enjoy every time.

Lovely friendly people running this cafe, welcomes dogs and even serves 'dogs dinners' from the menu, how about that! Lovely open fire, very cosy and great food, esp the yummy cakes. Bit on the pricey side but worth it for the lovely friendly cafe it is.

You get the picture... a cold ish day, had a bit of a walk around the town and now want a cosy little cafe for a drink and bit to eat; well if you're in Corbridge then go to Cafe No 6. Real log fire, good coffee and food, what else do you need! I'll go back it was very nice.

Haven't been to Corbridge for many years but took my son and his fiance when they were up from London. Cafe No 6 was empty on this cold Monday morning but a warm welcome and an even warmer open fire tempted us. Food was cooked to order, well presented and tasty. Lovely and clean tea room with another nice seating area upstairs. The toilets (I always test them! ) were sparkling clean. Highly recommended!

Popped in with my mam for a couple of coffees and a slice of lemon drizzle cake. Both very good. Nice open fire which on a cold January day was welcome.

We looked for a dog friendly cafe in Corbridge and seemed we were going to be unlucky and then noticed cafe No 6 .What a find,made very welcome ,the upstairsroom allows dogs .There is a wide range of light bites available as well excellent coffee and memorable home made cakes .

Warm welcome, accommodating owner, lovely private room upstairs to enable our lycra clad group to relax together. Scrumptious tomato and basil soup and even more delicious bacon sarnie. Couldn't resist a yummy granola flapjack as I paid (strategically placed at the till point!). Have visited several times before but this has been our best to date. We will be back.

good service good coffee reasonably priced. have visited before with grandchildren and also received good service

What a gem this little cafe is......so welcoming, food delicious......There's an upstairs that has a sofa and a fire! Don't rush you out...and the BLT can be well recommended and scones, warm, light, and yummy.

Stopped off for a cuppa and a cake on our way back from a trip to Scotland. The cafe was clean bright and modern, the staff very friendly and the choice of food really good for such a small place. I had earl grey tea in an amply large pot and the filter coffee came with an automatic refill. The homemade cakes and scones were excellent particularly the gluten free chocolate and almond cake. If we find ourselves in the area again we will definitely call in.

Had a very good light lunch here and are back for coffee and cake before we return to our holiday cottage at Humshaugh. Very friendly and helpful staff + the it is very dog friendly. Every market town should have a place like this...

Visited a week ago. Loved the cafe, very warm and cosy. Lovely food and drinks, food and drink came promptly. However, the young lady serving was clearly more interested in her phone. As I arrived she was sat on her phone. As I went to pay the young lady was still on her phone and I waited a few moments before she took notice of me waiting to pay. As soon as I paid again she was back on her phone. I found this extremely rude, I know youngsters can't get away from their phones, but there is a time and a place for them! If it wasn't for this experience I would have rated higher. Other than that was lovely, other young lady working was very friendly and welcoming.

Popped in here on the weight of the positive reviews on here. I can only assume it has slipped it's standards of late.Ordered poached eggs for two, crumpets, and a round of toast for one. At this point there was two people upstairs and another couple who'd already received their order downstairs.Our meals came out staggered, with fridge-hard packs of Lurpak for us to shred our toast with, the poached eggs were overdone and the crumpets underdone.Nothing worth damning the place for, but rather greasy spoon standard for decent cafe prices.We shalln't be returning.

We arrived to the cafe for scones and coffees . The greeting we got on arrival was harsh and cold . When the scones arrived they where dry and average . And the coffees are cold. We will not be coming again.

Sat outside for a cuppa and a scone. Really friendly staff and quick service. Excellent cheese scone too which is always a good sign! Lovely area inside and upstairs for sitting and watching the world go by outside the window.

This was a great place to grab a traditional breakfast. It is family friendly and within walking distance of everything in Corebridge.

We stopped by for lunch having been to the cafe when it was under previous ownership. We were very pleased with the range of food on offer and we thoroughly enjoyed the choice we made. Excellent service. We hope to return when we are once again in Northumberland

Located in the main square in Corbridge this is an excellent place to stop off if using many of the cycle routes in the area. Food was reasonably priced and very good quality. The menu was pretty extensive for a small coffee/tea shop.

We visited Cafe No 6 on a Saturday lunchtime in June the food was delicious the atmosphere was lovely quite quiet but nice the service was really good especially from the teenagers they were really friendly we will certainly visit again

Quaint, nice interior but uncomfortable wooden chairs, poor customer service, feta,olive and sundried tomato scone had no feta or olives in it and was zapped in the microwave , coffee and green tea was nice to be fair, muffin was too dry to eat, won't be going back..

My husband and I visited this tea room recently, had never been there before and we like trying out new places. Two young members of staff were standing by the counter, took no notice of us, no smile, no welcome, no hello. We had to wait quite a while for our order to be taken and sadly the lack of customer service skills, or just basic common courtesy, let down this place. The food and drink ordered was fine, but the staff were lacking any form of customer service.

I stumbled across Cafe no 6 after a recent visit to the very delightful market town of Corbridge. The Cafe is situated near the market place next to a very delightful fruit shop and charming bakery. Corbridge has a lot to offer from good shopping to some wonderful restaurants. A warm welcome awaits you from friendly staff at Cafe no6. Today We choose to sit outside in the warm sun and the watch the world go by with the help of warm, homemade fruit scores and pots of tea. Cafe no6 offers a good choice of light meals and exceptional value for money. Do not be deterred by the lack of good menu information outside, as once you enter the premises I am sure you will not be disappointed. So the next time you ask "where should we go today " go to Corbridge and make sure you visit Cafe no6 for tea. Other places to visit near Corbridge - Halls of Heddon Fantastic Garden Centre and Vallums Farm Ice Cream Parlour.

Had a lovely break from walking...good service and coffee. Huge tea cakes.Very pleasant with friendly staff...

Stopped here after a gruelling 20 mile cycle. Very friend and approachable staff, we were made to feel very welcome.We had a Ploughman's and a panini which were excellent and the cakes were outstanding - particularly the grapefruit cake!Will definitely stop here again if passing through the area!

Visited on our day out in Corbridge! Lovely food and drink, and really nice staff. Would definitely go back.
