Cafe Shrub in Gateshead - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Popped in quickly before a appointment but wasn’t impressed. There were only a couple more tables in but service was still painfully slow. No mention of table or counter service so we were a bit unsure of whether we order or our order gets taken....

Terribly slow. It took them 25 minutes to tell us they didn’t have what we’d ordered. When we ordered a replacement we didn’t get what was stated on the menu. It was less than adequate and expensive for what it was. Many other tables had...

Billed as a heritage centre I was surprised to find out that this was predominantly a cafe. Undeterred we went in, it wasn’t clear whether we should take a seat and wait or go to the counter, the staff were trying hard but over worked...

we called in today for the first time, the food is very good, reasonably priced and the tea and Coffee is excellent. a few previous reviews have been poor but all it needs is time to get off the ground. we use The Derwent Valley...

We were going on our first Derwent Walk today and saw this visitor centre and thought we would make use of the facilities. The coffee shop looks so nice we decided to stop for a drink too. I have noticed a few reviews on here...

Popped in with my Mum and my two dogs (the one thing going for this place is that it’s dog friendly) for our first visit to this relatively new cafe that we’ve looked forward to trying every time we passed when it was being built....

Currently sat outside on a very busy New Year's Day. According to signage, the cafe is open til 1400 and a reduced menu including hot drinks is available during opening hours. We were here at 1300 on the dot, but apparently they don't serve hot...

My review on Facebook has mysteriously disappeared so here it is. Firstly, the place is new and so the whole cafe looks really nice and the toilets were spotlessly clean. Dogs are allowed in which is great as we go there to walk dogs! We...

Called for a coffee on a Saturday. I waited at the desk with no response or welcome; and assuming it was table service sat down. After 10 minutes I had still not even been spoken to. The cafe was not THAT busy. I walked out....

Our 1st visit Cafe Shrub for breakfast had impressed us but 2nd visit awful. The waitress informed us that a uni student was doing a stint in the kitchen and could be the reason for the very long wait!! Probably the reason the breakfast was...

My partner and I with our chocolate lab love walking in Derwent Park. It's our weekend bonding and we are so happy and pleased that there's cafe at the end of our walk as it makes us more relax to sit in a restaurant that...

My son and I walked the dogs today and called in for a late breakfast, service was great ,loads of choice and when the food came it was well presented and delicious. A great place with friendly staff , we will be back! Thankyou *The...

We enjoyed the full English breakfast, bacon and maple syrup pancakes and coffee! I love the fact that this place does child portions of the breakfast choices. Our 4 year old was a happy bunny as she played snakes and ladders with us. Great quality,...

Second visit this afternoon with friends. This little cafe has been a need in this location for a long time! Lovely work done by local businesses and community. Food is lovely, not too ‘fine’ but more than just a cafe. Staff need a little more...

We had coffee and cake here with friends. So I can only speak for that. The coffee was ok but the gf cake was the nicest I have had in 30 years on this diet. It had light gf pastry with a frangipani topping with...

Called here with a friend for coffee. The environment was lovely, coffee good, staff pleasant. Now the bad news. Dry scones, and a VERY overdone quiche (golden black on the outside). Prices are high, but acceptable if the quality of the food lives up to...
