Dean & Daniela in Newcastle upon Tyne

First time since it has been taken over, very good service 👏 answered all queries.Food was excellent and good size portions, definitely going again

From the friendly welcome and the moment I left I really enjoyed. Food was out this world. The fact it's dog friendly was a bonus. Thak you xx

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

Been going to this place for years , have always loved it but now that it’s been taken over what a shame .. Food has always been outstanding but now it’s not good and definitely not worth the rise in prices . First of all the till enter everything then by the time it gets to the person that is making it your very lucky to get what you ordered . It has always been full but know it’s empty on a Saturday morning . We were there today and had to take a sandwich back as the egg was not cooked unacceptable tbh . We have gave it a few goes but I’m afraid now we need to find a new family get together for Saturday breakfast ..

Excellent eatery. Worth every mile there from Manchester.

Awful this used to be such a good little place to come after a series of poor service I won’t be back I don’t mind prices going up and if your getting the service that’s fine but it just not there. Prices now are so expensive and the quality of the food is good but for what you’re getting it’s not good enough over £5 for a bacon and egg sandwich with two small bits of bacon in. Takeaway coffee 3/4 full and a giant layer of foam so you’re basically getting half a cup. Leaking cup I had to take back losing quite a bit of coffee and they just put another cup round it. Now sure what’s happened used to get takeaway 3/4 times a week and eat in 1/2 but not anymore it’s such a shame

Took the family last weekend to try the new pizzas available now that D&Ds is open in the evening on the weekend. It was incredible. Picky kids loved it. We liked it so much we came back this weekend. Just as good!

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.

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.

Excellent coffee and inviting surroundings

Great evening opening now on Friday/Saturday

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.

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

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

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.

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 canoli! A really high quality local cafe.

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

Food is always amazing and staff are very friendly

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

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

Bacon & sausage stottie and a Cappuccino £6.05 Sat outside nice seats a bit of shade. Cappuccino one of the best I've had , bacon a nice brown and a good sausage topped with brown sauce. Set me up for the day.

Myself and my 2 children visited today whilst waiting for a tyre change at a neighbouring garage. I’ve not been before, and the recent reviews didn’t exactly blow me away, but decided to give it a go. I’m glad we did. There is plenty of space inside, more than I realised, and there was a light buzz from the filled seats. We were served straight away by a friendly member of staff, who was happy to wait whilst my kids assessed the full extent of sweet treats that were available! With choices of cakes, tray bakes, numerous cannoli’s as well as scones, then choices of teas, coffees, fruit juices and fizzy drinks, there was plenty of choice for everyone! We settled on a chocolate cake, crunchie biscuit slice and a scone with jam and cream. I had a double shot mocha whilst the kids had apple and orange juice. All in all, it came to £15.70. Which doesn’t seem too bad considering the juice drinks were £2.65, so a pretty good price. Our food and drink was brought to our table, and everything tasted great. The coffee was lovely, and is definitely not just instant as has been previously described. The beans were brewed as I was paying, so I can be sure if this. Lovely place to visit. Killed an hour of our time; and the kids were happy. We would come back again.

Very good food and good service from all the staff nice Coffee

Great cafe, popped in for coffee and cake. Large choice of sweets. Big menu for lunch. All looks homemade. Pizzas looked and smelled very tasty. Can buy by the slice. Deal of large pizza + litre of house wine 23.95 (13.95 + 10.00).

We live nearby first visit today! In a word ....Tremendous! We both had Chicken Daniela salad coffee and tea ... all 5 star Thank you Kevin & Elaine NE77AU

Great cafe. Service was spot on and a good selection of hot and cold, sweet and savoury. I had coffee and cannoli's they were lovely.

the layout of service doesn't seem that efficient. there is plenty staff ready to serve but 1 person does everything, (takes order, makes coffees, makes sandwiches, takes payment) this makes the wait much longer than it should be as they can end up actually waiting to make coffee, use the grill etc. if they had one person on each station and an efficient ticketing order system then the speed would dramatically increase. seems like a no brainer? nice bacon stottie

Tasty food and friendly customer service.

I had tuna pasta salad, which was delicious. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Didnt have to wait to long. Will definitely go again

Slow, sloppy, rude staff … Abominable service from pathetic staff who would rather chat in the back of the cafe and hide out of site! Food is terrible and almost inedible. Tried to give this place a chance to become better on 2 orb3 occasions. But sadly it just seems to get worse. My partner had food poisoning from there last month, so never been back since! Give this place a miss if you like your coffee and food served with a smile and not a visit to the hospital! Don’t know how this place hasn’t been closed by a health inspector yet! The staff changes regularly… no effing wonder!

Coffee used to be lovely, but now both the ordinary and decaf pretty tasteless, watery milk, waste of money really, better sticking with tap water! Menu just the same. Seems quite a turnover in staff.

Popped here for the first time, the smells of the food got me amazing, only had coffee and a cake but it was delicious, wish I hadn't just had lunch Excuse to come back Staff were very nice and polite especially Charlie

Always,call in for something to eat when in the area,can't fault it highly recommended .

Loved the food , not sure still why it closes so early though ?

My first visit, it was for coffee and a cake. Coffee was delicious & the rocky road was scrumptious. I did look at the pizzas and all of the other food, the smell was great and everything looked lovely. Very friendly and polite staff. Definitely worth a visit.

First time here but 10/10 very nice Will be back very nice staff

This place used to be amazing but unfortunately a supplier bakery closed down and its dipped now. The sausage rolls were out of this world. Struggled to decide what to have this time and ended up settling for next best. One of the girls was quite impatient with us which was off putting. It's a real shame as we used to head from Gateshead for the food but we're not hurrying back now.

Great coffee and a naughty bit of chocolate tray bake, excellent!!

Lovely clean and quiet hotel . Staff lovely and helpful. beds very comfortable and room clean . Please stock some takeout cups for coffee tho , I felt a little rude taking my cup outside and leaving it for someone to clean .Easter egg hunt was cute for the kids , I found one in my room but left it for someone else who had kids with them . Would happily stay again .

A few years ago we were so impressed by Dean and Danielas that when we were visiting our local relatives 80th birthday we booked a table for 8 today. The service from start to finish was absolutely appalling and unfortunately we will never be returning. We had also for Xmas given our local relatives gift vouchers for Dean and Danielas. I don’t know if the staff that run it have now changed but we have never been so rudely talked to, our plates were dirty, we tread in food on the floor left from previous customers, our order was messed up, the cakes were stale, the pizza was tasteless. We were told that the bruschetta could have the cherry tomatoes taken off for the children but then were told they had to have them- which created a tearful situation for younger members of the family. When we said we had booked a table for 8 the staff member glared at us and took us to a table with 3 seats and then told us to find other chairs! When we pointed out the plates were dirty they didn’t even apologise and it was made very clear that everybody was an inconvenience to them. We have never written a google review before but don’t want someone else to experience what we just did. A smile and politeness cost nothing and we were made to feel unwelcome and uncomfortable on what should have been a family celebration.

Great pizza. Very friendly staff and good sevice. Thank you.

Excellent food great selection ,friendly staff great place to chill with friends and family

I am happy to write a review for Dean And Daniela, a fantastic dining spot that left me thoroughly impressed. From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere set the stage for a memorable experience. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making me feel like a valued guest from start to finish. One of the highlights of my visit was the amazing selection of fresh food. Every dish was bursting with flavour and made with the highest quality ingredients. Whether it was the vibrant salads, delicious pasta dishes or mouth-watering desserts, everything was executed to perfection. I particularly loved the attention to detail in each dish. Overall, I can't recommend Dean And Daniela enough. If you're looking for a dining experience that offers both exceptional food and top-notch service, this is the place to be. The team truly goes above and beyond to make you feel at home, and the food is simply outstanding. I will definitely be back soon!

Nice Salads, Nice cakes. We Picked Magereta Pizza it was warmed up put in a bag all the topping what there was of it stuck to paper bag, no flavor, no taste, not much cheese. the worst pizza i have tasted will not be going back soon.

Friendly helpful staff. Very nice sandwiches and cake.

Good tasty sandwich be back for more

Home cooked, delicious, and well priced

A very welcome break and feel good food. A place to visit when hospital days are so long. Just round the corner and a friendly smile from the staff. Thankyou

Great deli. Delicious sandwiches and tray bakes, reasonably priced.
