Cooplands Orchard Cafe in Middlesbrough

Gone downhill massively since cooplands domt own it

Really nice food . Friendly staff . Always very clean and spacious . Always come here when in town centre . Well done and thank you to the staff .

Really disappointed with today's visit. My jacket potato was so burnt I couldn't eat the skin and I love a crispy skin! The staff weren't very engaging and didn't seem to want to be there Only thing stopping it being 1☆ was the price Won't be returning

Fab place with good food and excellent customer service . A gem of a place in Middlesbrough

The food was cold when we get it.

Lovely breakfast lovely friendy staff

Food ok it is what it is for the price, the staff is always friendly and helpful .

Went for a breakfast hash browns where burnt to a crisp how they could even serve them on a plate is beyond me certain staff members where arrogant and rude (never again)

Put simply, it's a good place to eat at any time. Light, bright and pleasant with good food and friendly staff. I like the mince and dumplings with mash and veg, or the various pies.

Friendly staff even though it was extremely busy. The girl taking orders and doing the food was really nice and friendly!

This cafe is above the bakery in the Dundas shopping complex, the staff are really professional, friendly and above all the food is excellent. Lunch starts at 1100 am and snacks, breakfast are all day.

It was ok.... had the roast beef meal veg was meh meat had been stood in gravy too long, nice clean place and a bit over priced, wouldn't be a place I would recommend

All ways kept clean, tables and chairs. Food tasty and good value. Friendly staff makes it a go to for us 👍👍👍

Great little cafe go regular. Food great and friendly staff.

Good customer service, friendly staff

Great cafe, lovely food, very clean and with friendly staff. Owned by Cooplands bakery so good quality and reasonable prices.

Had small eats with family,nice and all ok,was fairly quiet here ,staff good and place clean.decent menu .toilets opposite till.

Peaceful oasis in the heart of town, my favourite place to enjoy a cuppa and some grub while out shopping. Nice chilled out vibe and slow pace make for welcome respite from the hussle and bussle outside, the staff are super friendly too. Not sure about the avocado/mint colour scheme inside though but each to their own! This cafe is Middlesbrough town centre's hidden gem.

Went with my daughter we love the food it was first time for me but my daughter been before

Delicious food and lovely friendly staff, feel very comfortable coming here with my mam and also my friends

Went for lunch with a friend yesterday afternoon, food was really nice and good value! Staff were lovely ☺️ thank you!

Well as I frequent this Café/Restaurant a lot For me its a good place to Eat. And during This Covid-19 Time it's all Safe for the customer. Today I had a Large Breakfast.

Really enjoyable breakfast, even if it was at 1pm!

Nice breakfast. Covid measures spot on.

Great food, what else can you say.

Greatest coffee ever in the world, great food aswell

Excellent cafe-food always delicious in a friendly environment. Cakes, pies, breakfasts and everything else are all truly scrumptious.

Had a voucher so used it to get two main meals.food delicious and hot and good choice.service good and staff pleasant.plenty of seating though a little cramped in places.toilets at side entrance.my little gripe as always is quite pricey menu and smaller plates and cans of pop £1.60 and bottles £1.70 expensive but been here a few times as food quality good and usually always get a seat.

Visited recently for a coffee and a scone. The staff are friendly and the decor is ok. The coffee was in a small cup, which surprised me. Not sure that I will visit again.

Plates on small side but adequate for our lunchtime meal. Staff friendly and helpful. Pies tasty but pastry bit thick. Mash lumpy despite being assured it wasn't. Good value with an Arriva bus ticket discount.

Lovely breakfast lovely cafe all food reasonably priced staff are lovely

Nice place for breakfast and a cuppa

Nice place to go for nice food and nicely priced...nice friendly staff too..

Visited for lunch with family. Don't go expecting posh, the décor in the café is dated, but what it lacks in style it makes up for in quality of food and friendliness of staff. Home cooked pies, quiche, breakfasts made to order, or lighter bites, sandwiches, sausage rolls etc. The carrot cake was delicious. Staff made you feel welcome and made a point of saying goodbye as you left. Reminds me of one of those lovely old fashioned cafes I would go to as a kid.

Nice friendly place, reasonably priced, decent portions of food on main meals.Today I had a small breakfast was ok, but given 5* for main meals I've had in past.

Me and my family always come into cooplands orchard cafe in Middlesbrough. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is lovely and portion sizes are adequate for the good prices charged. Service is quick and always service with a smile.It is placed in dundas shopping centre so it is easily accessible and also has a lift for easy access for disabled.I would recommend this cafe to all age ranges.

First time visiting this cafe and will be my last. I only went in for a coke they ran out of cola in there machine so they gave us a can of coke instead. They gave us a cup to pour our cans into and the cup was way to big for the can of coke they gave us. The staff was stood around talking to while the floor and tables was filthy cleanliness is a big thing for me when I visit cafes or restaurants and if they spent less time talking and more cleaning then the place to would be nice. To top is off I went into the mens toilet and the stench from it was horrible I had to hold my breath it smelt like it hadn't been cleaned in years. I will neve be visiting this place again

Hi I went in here on Saturday 18th may with my mam and sister me and my mam got 4 item breakfast and my sister got a bacon sandwich we got to drink 2 mugs of coffee and 1 luxury hot chocolate

Hi I normally come here every couple of months but left it a while but today I went in with my friend and they now do pannins which is great so I had bbq chicken and cheese panini with tortilla chips and salad very good and I had a milky coffee with them

Only spotted this place earlier today and stopped off for dinner. The mince and dumplings in the hot counter looked really good, but I only wanted something light for my dinner break so I ordered a jacket with tuna mayo. These type of cafés are usually great for that sort of meal so I was disappointed to find that it wasn't nice at all. If there was butter in it, then you couldn't tell, it must have been the thinnest scraping ever! I can only assume that the person who buttered it has never eaten a jacket potato before...It was just a large, really dry potato with a bit of tuna on top and I had trouble getting it down. The salad was fresh but for some reason they only used frisee lettuce, which is the stringy, really bitter lettuce that is not usually served as the only leaf on a salad. The meal was nearly a fiver as well, so it's not the cheapest option in town. Unfortunately it was horrible and I really didn't enjoy my meal at all, which is unsurprising as it was basically a huge dry potato with some very bitter lettuce. The brownie was quite nice though. Staff were pleasant enough. I would maybe come here again as the other stuff looked great, but I definitely wouldn't order the jacket potato. Maybe worth bearing in mind if you're thinking of eating here.

Great value and would recommend. Its Cooplands cafe so you can get all the usual cakes etc. We had roast beef with Yorkshire pudding and at £5.50 each it was very reasonable. The portion sizes weren't huge but ideal for a lunch time. Would definately go back again and recommend.

Called here again during Xmas period as usually find a table here as there is a few and not in a popular place Dundas arcade.good staff clean place toilets clean,plenty of choice but still pricey and still serve food on smaller plates so they look like meal is bigger than is .had some snacks and drinks but originally fancied Sunday roast or full breakfast but as seen others didn’t think it was value for money.honest review from a regular foody.

Popped in for a coffee but couldn’t resist the hot beef and onion baguette which tasted delicious. Not surprised this cafe is so popular at lunchtime as the meals served were wholesome and great value.

Some of the early reviews are scathing about the quality of the food, I can only say the place must have really pulled itself up since then as the food we had was excellent. We are elderly and were very pleased to find that there was a lift as stairs are not a strong point at our age. The food was ordered at the counter but brought to the table for us. There was enough tea and hot water for a couple of mugs each. The plates are on the small side compared to some dinner plates but for a lunchtime they are adequate. We will certainly go back.

Called in Friday afternoon shepherd pie roast potatoes n gravy sounds lovely oh no burnt dried out shepherds pie few brown potatoes straight out of deep fat drier covered the whole lot covered in dark brown jelly presentation is everything and as soon as it was put in front of me I told my daughter that is inedible after tasting it I was right my daughter tasted and said same. We left with the meal untouched and went to Greggs for a pasty. Nobody came to ask if the food was ok after we were served so left without comment I wonder if the staff gave a second thought when they seen the untouched meal. The staff here were very pleasant but it comes to a time when they need to say this food is ready for the bin instead of carrying on serving it up to the public when it’s past it. Money down the drain, won’t be returning which is a shame as coopers is my favourite bakery and I thought their cafe would be equally as good

Had lunch at the Orchard Café in Middlesbrough today Friday 5th October 2018.

Plenty of choice on menu i still think a bit pricey than some.service good lots of places to sit and toilets reasonable.not the comfiest of seats and still only small plates for food so not much on plate but we came as in area and quiet.drinks quite steep in small mugs or cups .

Decided to try as recommended by a friend. Place was clean, staff were very friendly, food came out quick and was hot. Great selection of homemade pies, toasties, cakes and drinks. Ok the place may be dated, but as long as it's clean and the food's good then personally I don't mind. Will definitely be returning. (There is a lift for anyone with prams/disabilities).

Hi i went in here for lunch but I am a regular and me and my friend went in here on Wednesday 14th feb 2018 valintines day my friend had scampi chips and peas and I had hot beef and onion sandwich new staff on really helpful especially Loraine who was on the till food came quick good music they had throwback songs on from the decades of 80s 90s and 200s Nicholas

Dont be put off by the stairs as there is a lift option nearby. Yes this cafe is busy but I would guess thats due to its popularity. There are starter, main and pudding options available which are served with prompt efficiency although there were a lack of girls serving. Its better if your dining with someone so they can keep the table while you queue for the order. However finding a table has never been an issue.

Visited here for lunch as was shopping when got in was busy so we found a table that had been left . It was clean quick then went to order stood in the line for about 10 mins. As was only one staff member serving food. After ordering got to til to pay and order drinks yet after getting a hot drink which wasnt hot. Which was a let down. Had to buy more drinks as the hot drinks where not hot. Food was ok

This is a busy cafe and plenty of seating and choice of food and drinks.for what we paid i think overpriced and not enough on a smaller plate than usual,service good and professional staff just a bit of a let down today.

Have passed menny times decided to try. I can honestly say that the breakfast I had to day was awful I ate some but the place was empty never again

2 nice meals and a pot of tea came to just over £10. Place looked clean and there is a lift for the elderly👍

Went for a breakfast, toast was burnt, bacon was greasy and tough, sausage was very small, it was like a child's portion and it wasn't cheap. Cost £5 for food and a drink.

Went here with family today and place was about over half full midday.we found a table in corner and picked food and drink from menu which was varied but maybe a bit pricier than others in town .ordered food and all ate up and was very nice .one thing i noticed that our meals were served on same smaller plates that my kids got so not loads on our plate but was very nice also staff were pleasant and friendly and place was cleaned up quickly as there is quite a few staff work here.will return again.

This place is not value for money you get child size meals you have to sand with your food and wait to pay then you have to try find a table with out dirty plates on if you are lucky you might find a clean knife and fork to eat with we at to ask for clean ones

Found this place accidentally a few weeks ago and were impressed. Second visit was at a much busier part of the day but the food was just as good and although very very busy the staff were friendly, help up and on the ball clearing tables as soon as they needed to be. Too many times have I been in a place that is half empty and the other half covered in dirty dishes, not the case her, bravo staff of the orchard a credit to Cooplands

If I want some good, fair priced food, from the likes of sandwiches and homely feeling dinners, then this is the place to go.

I called into the Orchard Cafe with my elderly parents - one of whom was on a Gluten a Free diet.

I've eaten in this cafe a few times. The food is always fantastic, well presented and great value for money. The catch is, because it's home cooked, it is occasionally quite slow, especially at busy time. The staff are always polite and it has a decent atmosphere, which takes the edge off the wait.

Had a quick cuppa and bacon bun and was very nice.prices maybe a bit steep.place was clean and staff friendly and presentable.service was a bit slow and only about 6 in.would go back if in town and hungry.

The Orchard cafe serves what can be decribed as mostly British Fayre.
