Dean & Daniela in Newcastle upon Tyne

Staff really helpful. Food was delicious x

A wonderful place I've been meaning to try for a while, and had the opportunity finally. Ordered the full English breakfast, and was offered a substitution for my black pudding, and glad I did as everything was delicious! Friendly service, dog friendly (with dog name themed tables) and well priced for the amount you get. Will definitely be returning

Excellent place for lunch or brunch - they have options for all tastes.

Oh Dear in the Dene! Has unfortunately really gone downhill since it changed from Dean and Danielas. Sandwiches are poor quality - one of my group had a hair in theirs! The fruit is often rotten in the middle - bit into an apple today and had to spit it straight back out - and instead of lovely traybakes we now get plastic mass produced flapjacks.

Just went for coffee, it was good. Service good.

Lovely cafe close to paddy freeman's park. Menu has a nice selection however it was difficult to ascertain what on the menu was vegan or not. Our server went back and forth to the kitchen for us, however still didn't seem confident when explaining what was vegan. Eg. Hallomi sandwich, "The hallomi is vegan but the rest of the sandwich is not." (Confusing) Would like to visit again, to see if it was just a new server/bad day.

Got 2 penne bolognase special. Cold and watery but edible. Went to pay and the man on the till asked how it was. Said it was a bit cold and we got a snarky comment about how it had just came fresh out the pan so couldn’t be cold. On a positive took tray baked away for later which were nice.

Absolutely delicious, lovely atmosphere, really lovely attentive waitress. Will Definately try everything before I commit to a fave dish!

A great place for food and to take your foot off the gas. A nice relaxing area to come and watch the world go by. Food is really good and also at very good prices.

Popped in here with my parents and toddler for some lunch. Really nice food, family friendly and lovely friendly staff. Will definitely be back to sample more of the menu.

Tried to find a menu online, seemingly only on Instagram which as a grown up I don’t assign to. No website?!? Tried the phone number, went to voicemail every time.

Nice place and excellent service

Recently visited, very positive experience.

Lovely place, friendly staff, the pistachio filled cannoli is beautiful Definitely recommend

Fabulous little place,food was delicious, highly recommend people to try it

Stumbled across this beautiful cafe by accident. We're very glad we did. The full English was likely one of the best we've ever had. Such a lovely spot. We will definitely be back.

We used the Deer in the Dene for a pub quiz for our running club. Phil and the team looked after us very well. Pizzas were amazing! Good selection of beers and drinks plus cakes if you want them. A fab spot in High Heaton. 100% recommend!

Very nice visit lovely coffee and cheese scone

Ordered a takeaway sandwich- waited for 20minutes until I reminded them. I was told the sandwich had cheese in it. Please tell me where is the cheese in this picture. Paid around £6 for bread and coleslaw.

Food is quite expensive for what it is, but nice. A much smaller selection for takeaway compared to what it used to be. Less so a deli and more catered as a coffee place with food

Top class place, great food and excellent service.

Great night with friends. Steak peppercorn sauce and chips to die for. Fine wine Sauvignon marlbourgh. New Zealand my fave. Lovely vibe

Met with a friend for coffee & cake. The cake was delicious, the service at the table prompt and polite. I will definitely be using this as a meeting place in the future.

Fantastic! Lovely food, fantastic service. Warm and friendly staff who provide excellent customer service.

my favourite cafe great staff great food lovely coffee ☕

Lovely new local brunch addition. We tried the small full English and we were quite impressed with the sausage - one of the best we ever tried! The mushroom was nice too. However, the fried eggs were both a bit overly cooked and the bacon was a bit cold. The place is cosy and has a nice atmosphere with some lovely cakes. We tried the lemon cake and it was tasty and fresh. Coffee is not bad either and it's dog friendly as well 😉

Really great pie from Charlotte's butchers

Caveat: Been coming for years and probably spoilt by the previous prices/quality under the original owners. It was cheap and cheerful. Popped in after the refurb, ordered the usual (flat white, D&D club, cannoli) for comparison. Table service now, a bit disjointed as the menu doesn't include the contents of the counter so you'll have to head over for a look anyway. Mutterings of incorrect orders permeate the air. They've got rid of the varied bread selection, so a much smaller "stottie" bap instead of the usual poppy knot, cold pre-grated "mozzarella" instead of fresh. Pretty predictable; clichéd name change, prices up 30-40% from last year, pointless decor change, cuts in quality, got rid of all the old staff. Post COVID business acquisition 101. Honestly gutted.

Called for coffee and a breakfast sandwich, both were excellent. Thoroughly recommended.

Great evening opening now on Friday/Saturday

Desde la bienvenida amable y el momento en que me fui me gustó mucho. La comida estaba en este mundo. El hecho de que sea amigable para perros fue una ventaja. Gracias xx

Primera vez desde que se hizo cargo, muy buen servicio 👏 respondió a todas las consultas. La comida era excelente y porciones de buen tamaño, sin duda yendo de nuevo

I went here on a Friday night for pizza and it was excellent. The service was excellent, the pizza was possibly one of the best pizza’s I have had in a while! It’s clear new owners are trying to make the cafe better and they are doing a great job!

Italian Tuna pasta salad was lovely and well presented place was clean tidy and staff were friendly cannot fault

Excellent eatery. Worth every mile there from Manchester.

He estado yendo a este lugar durante años, siempre me ha encantado, pero ahora que se ha hecho cargo de él que pena . . La comida siempre ha sido excepcional, pero ahora no es bueno y definitivamente no vale la pena la subida de precios. En primer lugar la caja entrar en todo, luego en el momento en que llega a la persona que está haciendo que sea su muy afortunado de obtener lo que ordenó. Siempre ha estado lleno pero sé que está vacío un sábado por la mañana. Estuvimos allí hoy y tuvimos que tomar un sándwich de vuelta ya que el huevo no estaba cocinado inaceptable tbh. Le hemos dado algunas vueltas, pero me temo que ahora tenemos que encontrar una nueva familia para el desayuno del sábado . .

Horriblemente, este solía ser un pequeño lugar tan bueno para venir después de una serie de servicios deficientes que no volveré No me importa que los precios suban y si estás recibiendo el servicio que está bien, pero simplemente no está allí. Los precios ahora son tan caros y la calidad de la comida es buena, pero para lo que está recibiendo no es lo suficientemente bueno más de £ 5 para un sándwich de tocino y huevo con dos pequeños trozos de tocino. Café para llevar 3 / 4 lleno y una capa gigante de espuma, así que básicamente estás recibiendo media taza. Fuga de la taza Tuve que recuperar la pérdida de un poco de café y simplemente pusieron otra taza alrededor de ella. Ahora seguro de lo que ha pasado solía salir 3/4 veces a la semana y comer en 1/2 pero ya no es una pena

Tomó la familia el fin de semana pasado para probar las nuevas pizzas disponibles ahora que D&Ds está abierto por la noche el fin de semana. Fue increíble. A los niños les encantó. Nos gustó tanto que volvimos este fin de semana. ¡Igual de bien!

Been a customer for the last 16 years and have never had a complaint but unfortunately the new owner has upset me. Ordered 2 coffees and 2 sandwiches to sit in and was told it was takeaway only. No problem, paid and walked out the door, lots of empty tables outside and thought it would be ok to eat our sandwich’s on one of the plastic table out of takeaway cartons. Owner rudely approached me and my partner stating “we had ordered takeaway sandwiches but are sitting in”. I explained we tried to pay to sit in but were unable to. I would not usually see an issue, but considering there is an increase in price for sit ins, it felt that the owner was implying we had purposely ordered takeaway sandwiches with the intention of paying less. This was not the case. We also had to ask the owner who they were as they never introduced themself when confronting us- as far as we aware it was a random customer who had approached us. It was an unwelcoming experience and I have never been treat this way before. I will not be returning due to this.

Simply and light decor, amazing food, with huge variety! Seems that all is made fresh there daily, you can actually see pizzas made and baked. Is great that prices are kept affordable for such quality! The staff is always so polite and helpful, ,that makes it feel like home, please don't loose this. Although there isn't designated parking, we never had trouble finding something in the neighbourhood. Looking forward to be there every Saturday, while waiting our daughter to finish her activities.

Excellent coffee and inviting surroundings

Always worth a visit.We shared a sandwich and a chocolate brownie, both were delicious. There's so much choice you're bound to find something that'll take you back for more.

I popped here for a pizza and a pint on my way home and I can’t fault the service i received. The Meat Feast Pizza I had was very tasty. It is great to see the pizza being made right in front of you. I would definitely come back. They are open on a Friday and Saturday evening.

Lovely food nice and fresh and a great selection, staff very friendly and helpful with prices very reasonable and will definitely be back

I am sorry to say that the pizza was one of the worst I have ever had anywhere. It was as if it was made by a 5 year old who just mixed water and flour and hoped for the best.. Coffee was nice 👍

really nice cafe restaurant great food great atmosphere. staff could not be more helpful great outside sitting area to enjoy the sun

Been coming to this cafe for a long time yes staff are sometimes slow but now it has been took over I don’t think I will be back .. can’t even get a straight forward sandwich right loads of staff but nobody working and I think the new owner has cheapened things .

I visited this so-called 'Italian' restaurant that claims everything is "freshly made," but my experience was far from fresh. The bruschetta I received was so tough it seemed like it had been sitting out for a week and then over-microwaved, leaving my hard palate sore. The hot chocolate was equally disappointing. Please save your money and stomach. I would go somewhere else

I have been a customer for many years and have always found the food, atmosphere and service to be of a high standard, nothing has changed. in fact there have been some improvements with some great new ideas The new lady owner is very pleasant always has time for a chat. Ps thanks to all the staff for there kindness keep up the good works

After many happy years of using this local coffee shop we have today had the last straw with the new staff. They have been rude, aggressive and impolite for several weeks now. Pretending they did not understand my partner’s Scottish accent, consistently getting orders wrong. Today I was told that I had not ordered a scone, when I asked if they had forgotten it. We noticed one girl pat a dog, then serve her friend with a free meal and drink, touching the pizza with her doggy hands. Sadly, we won’t be back. Good luck to the new owners. With staff like that, they are going to need it.

We’ve used this bistro regularly for many years and until today have been very pleased. Now under a new owner and it is very disappointing. Empty cabinet with no food on display, lukewarm coffee, paper plate presented with our cannolis, three staff standing around till, serving staff didn’t seem to know who had ordered what, owner walking about seemed more bothered about how the empty tables were reset than helping to deal with the queue that eventually built up. The place was very quiet for a lunchtime so maybe I am not alone with my impression. I am not sure whether I will return

Just been in at 11:15 am only two other people in ordered coffee salad and a toasted ciabatta bread paid and sat down salad came (was very nice) coffee came (very nice ) waited for ciabatta but never came looked over every one to busy chatting then there was a cue at the counter so just left all in all what I had was very nice but service leaves a lot to be desired

Disappointing visit today. I came here at lunch time for a freshly made sandwich, waited 10 mins to place an order and around 15-20 mins for our sandwiches, only for my friend to be given the wrong sandwich. New owners and the old tried and tested methods have not been kept, which is a shame as they worked. I don’t think the pizza slices were warmed in the oven either, they looked soft and anaemic. The pre made feta salad didn’t have any feta in it. I hope this improves and it’s just new owner niggles. Either way, I won’t be rushing back in my lunch break.

Edit Aug 24: The place has changed hands and differences are immediate and apparent. Not as organised, prices up way above inflation (was already pricey but food and service was worth it), quality of ingredients down. Still a decent Deli just not what it was. This was a great place already, there was no need to change anything. I'll be back, just not as frequently.

Excellent speciality sandwiches

Took quite a while for the staff to realise that customers, ie us, were waiting to place an order as their gossip seemed significantly more relevant to their remuneration. Once bitten twice shy.

Always great. Make sure to pop in every time I'm up this way.

Absolutely beautiful food, really enjoyed it. Will be back with the family soon

This is a lovely, quirky restaurant with fabulous food and outstanding service. It's a great place to go if you have to visit the Freeman Hospital.

My friends and I called here for lunch. Two of us ordered an open goats cheese and caramelised onion sandwich. It looked delicious behind the counter. When it arrived at the table it had been toasted, which we were pleased about. However, it was so crunchy and hard it was impossible to cut with a knife, and equally impossible to bite through. We decided to try to peel off the crust, but the inside was also hard, the onions were so vinegary and sharp, and the goats cheese so over grilled it was rubbery. I have no idea how such a basic sandwich could go so wrong. After a couple of mouthfuls I left the rest...and I never do that ! As we were running late I didn't discuss with staff . On plus side, really lovely waiter served us.

We had takeaway. my friend loved it. we ate it in her back garden.

Coffee and a beer. Didn't eat food looked great. It was a Sunday afternoon.....quite quiet.

Fab food, excelent service. Great outdoor area.😆

visited on 21st May 2024,,,, first visit ,, thought i would give it a try i was lovely,, sandwich made to order,,,, and i was offered a glass of water as i didnt order a drink,, Also,, had a slice of carrot cake,,, delicious I will definitely go back

12 of us turned up today after doing some work in the park and was very impressed with the food and quick service and lovely staff

Pretty good but the desserts appear to be from Costco :-/

Absolutely delightful little cafe that serves up perfect sandwiches, salads and delicious fresh out the oven pizza!

Excellent quality sandwiches and authentic Italian sweet pastries. The coffee is incredible too. The prices are very reasonable too. If you've never been, try the pistachio cannoli. Superb!!!

Cannoli are lush, wish they were bigger. Sarnies are brill. Good bread options, all thr trimmings to go with it. First time had takeaway. Second time sat in. Coffee is canny too

Excellent called in in passing , very nice food proper Italian

Gorgeous food, the selection is huge. The pizza is amazing, sandwiches are lovely, but the showstopper has to be the tray bakes 😍 takes a little while for takeaway orders to be prepared as they are all made fresh but 100% worth the wait.

Wonderful and cozy atmosphere with so many sweet bakes to choose from. Enjoyed my cappucino.

Not really what I wanted but filling enough.

Nice food enjoyed the fresh bread not sure about the choice of cheese in my sandwich. Could have done with a bit more filling but maybe I'm just a pig. Takeaway pizza was nice but a little oily. All desserts looked amazing

Stars says everything. And prices, compared to Denmark, are really low. Latte was lovely.

Good food, great service and good value.

I was delighted and very impressed by my first visit to D&D. Very reassuring to know establishments like D&D are around to visit . Thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food, great service and outstanding value for money .

Ordered a full Pizza today to take away! And it was absolutely amazing! Great quality and very tasty! Great value for money too! Will definitely will be ordering again!

No dogs allowed so was told I could sit outside . Waited 15 , no-one came out to take my order . Looked in the window several times only to be mocked by a member of serving staff !! Very rude !! Will not appempt to visit again !!

Brilliant little cafe. Have been a few times to meet people for lunch, and its consistently excellent. Top sandwiches, nice atmosphere with friendly, professional staff. A great little business.

I travel 9 miles for a sandwich best food in high heaton

Looked after a large group of cyclists aty the drop of a hat like they do it all day everyday. Excellent service and great food.

I was recommended this by my son who went there with his wife to eat. They are meat eaters and I am vegan. They didn't have anything vegan that I wanted, in fact they didn't have much vegan at all which was disappointing. I had tea which came with soya milk. My wife enjoyed it but she is vegetarian.

Always heaving and you can see why. Food is delicious, service is nice and quick, good all around.

Fantastic breakfast and friendly service. Would highly recommend ! First visit today while going to the Freeman won’t be the last ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I ordered a breakfast sandwich here a couple of weeks ago. It was wonderful and huge. The coffee was great, and the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. I have been back, and the pastries were very nice also.

Great place for a cup of coffee. Will return for a meal with the family sometime.

Lovely food and friendly staff, recommend eat out or takeaway.

It's always very nice to visit this cafe. Great sandwiches and tea.

Great coffee and brilliant canoli! A really high quality local cafe.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon hoping to get a bite to eat for lunch. Plenty of seats to choose from. At the counter, there's almost too much choice - which then translates into a poor execution. We ordered two sandwiches - a D&D and a BBQ chicken. The D&D looked the part, well filled and presentable - but was dry and tasteless. The BBQ Chicken was a fillet placed in the centre of a long roll with some sauce and cheese. It was barely warm leaving me left pretty unsatisfied. The roll was described as a Ciabatta but was in fact just a long soft white roll. Unfortunately - the place left us feeling deflated and not wanting to come back. I've heard good things about the place but maybe we were just unlucky.

Great coffee and brilliant Nutella canoli! A really high quality local cafe, one of the places that makes the local area much better.

Lovely tasty breakfast. A little gem on Tyneside.

Great coffee, would be good if they had some vegan cakes

Great place, really nice people, and excellent food. Not much more to say really!

Food is always amazing and staff are very friendly

Great food and very friendly staff :)

Absolutely beautiful chicken salad for lunch which was of very generous proportions. The kids menu for £3.50 was an absolute bargain too. My daughter had pasta bolognaise, a drink and a chocolate chips shortbread and is still stuffed an hour later. My coffee was excellent too. Special mention too to our waitress who's name I didn't catch but who was very friendly and smiley.

We were in the area and needing some lunch. Not knowing the area we found Dean and Danielas on Google Maps. We were so lucky! The lovely friendly welcome and the really delicious and very reasonably priced meal was just perfect - everything we needed and wanted, so thank you so very, very much.

Very dog friendly. Nice breakfast bun and cup of coffee
