I’ve never not had perfect food and service when visiting this cafe. The deserts are great, the specials are delicious and there is a lovely atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable for the quality also.

Great coffee and food, best cafe in South Shields, very high standard of cleanliness, friendly efficient staff always clearing tables and cleaning.

One of my favourite cafes to visit. It’s got a cosy atmosphere, it offers delicious hot and cold drinks and the service is always friendly and happy to help. The only gripe I have with this cafe is that the food tends to be quite expensive considering what is on offer, other than that it’s a pleasant place to enjoy a drink and relax for a while. Generally it can be quite busy here too, but once you’ve found your seat and settled down it’s a nice place to wind down.

Visited on Friday morning to get breakfast and coffee. Both were great. Smoked salmon and feta cheese salad and smoked chicken panini, something different than English breakfast. The best coffee I had in ages

the bar is good, the people are kind, but the only problem is that it opens very late, I often pass by that street on my way to work and I want to take coffee with me, but it is not open yet. This schedule is intolerable, all the more so Italians at work in Italy coffee bars open at 5 in the morning.

If you want the true flavour of Italy/Sardina, go to Caffe DiBella. Absolutely unbeatable. We have traveled extensively throughout Italy and the U.K There isn't a better coffee outside of Italy/Sardina. Fantastic friendly service and authentic Italian/Sardinia snacks. If you've tried the rest now try the best.

I have been to Cafe Di Bella twice now with my Wife , first time for a coffee and cake and second time with the addition of soup and a toastie . I have to say now that we are both coffee connoiseurs and visit many coffee shops in the Sunderland and South Shields area and certainly know what constitutes a decent cup of coffee . Well we certainly have found it at the Cafe Di Bella because the coffee is " second to none " , it is obvious that the owner certainly know what they are about . The cakes and snacks are also very tasty and reasonably priced which makes it an added bonus ! I will also have to say that the service is first class , quick and friendly , so what more can you ask for in a local coffee shop . We will definitely be returning for a nice coffee in pleasant surroundings . Message to other coffee shop owners , pop in for a coffee and learn how it should be done .

The food is absolutely gorgeous, I have never had anything here that has disappointed ! The cakes are lovely. The coffee is also of a very good standard. It is always a pleasant expert coming here. Only negative is everyone else seems to think so too. So it is always busy. Superb!

We had the special festive panini’s which came with crisps and salad, everything was delicious! If you decide to come here and try anything then definitely go for the white hot chocolate!! I’ve never had anything like it before. Definitely recommend coming here :)

My friend and I enjoyed a delicious lunch. We had smoked salmon on tasty cream cheese with capers, tomatoes and salad leaves on focaccia bread. This was under£5! We had very good coffee too.

So, you travel the world, discover Europe and all it has to offer, you live abroad and think you know it all. You have a bean to cup coffee machine at home and search out the best of the best. You walk into a little cafe with promise in South Shields and are served the very best cappuccino you have ever had. Just get in there and tell me I'm wrong. These guys are the real thing, and I can't wait for tomorrow morning to go again.

The decor is beautiful the place is immaculate. The food is absolutely amazing and cooked to perfection, the portion sizes are fab. The management and staff are all very welcoming and so friendly, they all work together as a great team. They are also very knowledgeable about food content and allergies. I would highly recommend a visit to this hidden gem, you will not be disappointed. Thank you to all concerned. Xx
