Heaton Sandwich Cuisine in Newcastle upon Tyne

Amazing vibe and even better food. We went to the shop next to the cafe to buy some seeds (best quality and most affordable we found yet) and the owner recommended us the coffee at this place. The carrot cake is a must try - moist, full of flavour and you can feel the spices and carrots blending together. I had a cappuccino and it was actually a cappuccino - it tasted like real coffee with loads of foamy goodness- and an espresso which was creamy and rich. The price came to £9 which is standard for small coffee shops like this so not overpriced at all. We have seen people working, reading, creating. It is really a special place. We will definitely be back.

I drove here in my lunch break as Ive had nice sandwiches during the pandemic and want to support local business. I was told that its a limited menu and could choose a "bacon and cheese toastie with chilli jam" and ordered a latte to take away. The latte was lukewarm being generous and was drank in less than a couple of minutes. The toastie was basic standard bread etc and given in a cardboard box. £9.40 seemed very expensive and I didnt like the amount of waste in packaging, especially ordering a takeaway drink that wasnt hot enough to make it home. Dissapointing :(

I feel privileged to live so close to such a fab cafe. Very cosy inside, I like the quirks, great food, good selection of drinks. I’ve never been disappointed with the food, the portions are good and it’s usually very quick.

Just loved the Pea-Kado on Sourdough….. never heard of Pea-Kado before - so was keen to try. Very yummy, very healthy & kind to the environment- a real winner. Had mine topped with halloumi & my partner had crispy bacon. The menu is a little limited but suited me fine.

Absolutely loved our first visit & everything about this lovely cosy cafe. Great welcome, excellent food & drinks. Compliments to you all & highly recommended 👏

The cafe has a great atmosphere. Some of the food and drinks are ok. The service can be slow and they run out of things. One of the common criticisms is that the cafe does not prioritise cleanliness.

To make great scrambled eggs that are not watery is a skill. H P manages it. The bread is incredible. Coffee is good and strong. Everyneighbour hood needs this cafe.

I have been wanting to visit this place for a while. so today was the day.. it was a disappointment.. the menu is very limited, my halloumi on naan was very tasty but my husbands quesidilla was bland and the amount of salad was so small, he commented as to why they bothered putting it on the plate. He was disgusted with the state of the gents toilets which he said looked as if they had not been cleaned for at least two weeks… Sorry but we won’t be back.

Fabulous quirky cafe. Lovely choice and friendly staff. Highly recommend. Had pea-kado on toast. Tasty smoothies and great coffees

Wonderful breakfast, scrambled egg excellent. Sour dough bread from shop next door was fantastic. Stayed for a very long time as chatting away and no hassle from the staff. Would love this place nearer to my home!

I love the vibe of this place, and it is great for a coffee or cake. However we went recently for a lunch, and ordered a sandwich. It took over half an hour to come and was really small for the price. The filling was almost all lettuce. Quite disappointing! That being said the staff are always lovely.

Yet another bad barista experience. They look the part and have everything required to make a decent brew but yet again, the skills are lacking. I should have realised when it took less than a minute to produce my “flat white”. Too hot overall so the microfoam dissipated within moments. Learn the craft, take the time and deliver great coffee rather than average to poor.

I know i wax poetical about Perk ( i really like it ❤️) Today i had porridge .... with berries and honey ..... 🥰🤪 it was lush , and with the fab coffee , it was a perfect brunch .... my friend had a cheese scone which was warm and delicious ..... we decided that if the tyneside cinema and the grainger market were also in heaton , we would never need to go anywhere else .... for any thing ...... ever again !!!!!! Well done Perk x lovely service from Rob and Spencer the dog felt at home ... thank you

lovely friendly and efficient staff, always a great coffee! try the salmon bagel for breakfast :) I love the coffee too and the little area outdoors at the back is great

Either you are a student and you want to study or you just want to have a nice cup of coffee with your friends, this place is absolutely magnificent. The style and decor of the shop is perfect and dogs are welcome!

Came in for brunch and ordered scrambled eggs with mushrooms and tomato- all very tasty. Only thing was slow service, seemed rather understaffed for a Saturday- only 1 person serving and 1 person cooking.

Cakes, lovely interesting savoury food , good coffee. Great relaxed atmosphere ; quirky and interesting .

Nice coffee, lovely carrot cake and relaxing atmosphere. Obviously in the centre of student-ville but at this time of year a bit quiet. Decor is Olde and grabs your attention and a seat at the window lets you watch the world go by.

Ha pasado un tiempo desde la última vez que entré y realmente vale la pena volver. Las nuevas y maravillosas tazas ahora adornan su hermoso café y el menú para el desayuno / almuerzo es maravilloso. Eggy Bread está encendido, Cheesy Beans en Marmite Toast tiene, oh Dios mío, el Guacamole a base de guisantes es simplemente fabuloso, lo tenía con el huevo revuelto. El personal es super - servicial y alegre y nada es una molestia. Top lugar, top cebo, top personas. ¡Llega y disfruta!

Heaton Perk es un lugar fabuloso para tomar un café fantástico y deliciosas sopas y comidas. Nuevo menú; He estado fuera por un tiempo, en Amble; atras ahora !Mi amiga tenía su favorita tostada y yo tenía Welsh rarebit, con la col divina. . .Realmente me había perdido el café, y todavía estaba bueno.Estoy deseoso de abrirme camino en el nuevo menú ???????.Como siempre el personal era encantador y el ambiente muy cómodo y relajado. Muy lleno de gente interesante!

I love coming down here in the good weather to sit outside and have a nice latte. It's got a nice chilled out vibe and is on a quiet street. Coffee is really good and the cakes are also delicious.

Había visto esto al pasar y me había prometido llamar. Nos detuvimos para tomar un café y no nos decepcionó. Un entorno encantador y un gran café y tarta. Me encantaron los narcisos en jarras de mermelada! ¡Sin duda volveremos a llamar cuando tengamos más tiempo para investigar el menú sándwich!

Great service from staff and atmosphere in the cafe was nice. Peanut butter cake was a winner👍🏻lovely outdoor area for when the sunshine is out.

Heaton Perk es un lugar fabuloso para tomar un café fantástico y deliciosas sopas y comidas.

Heaton Perk es un pequeño oasis en Heaton, que sirve un excelente café, tostadas, café y otras delicias. Este lugar tiene un ambiente brillante y estrafalario, personal estupendo y wifi gratis.

Popped in for tea, coffee and cake. Despite opening hours saying closed at 6pm, the kitchen was closing soon. A few thinga missing off menu, but otherwise cool.

Bajé por Memory Lane en Heaton, Newcastle Upon Tyne, donde vivía hace unos 25 años y encontré este lugar totalmente encantador, el Heaton Perk. Está lleno de libros y la decoración es bastante ecléctica. El servicio es encantador y el café y el bagel con queso crema y salmón eran delicias. Buenas chicas, sigan con el buen trabajo.

I called in on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Excellent staff, very up-beat with high energy and courtesy. I took a corner table and sampled the home-made Leek and Potato soup (a Watercress alternative was available). The chef was able to produce Scrambled Eggs with Avocado on a Sour Dough toast (even though it was pushing on 3pm). All in all a fantastic little cafe with some cool reading material and their secret 'drawer of letters written to nobody in particular' if you happen to be seated at one particular table. Five stars to this gem of marvellousness.

Me ha encantado venir a Heaton añadida por años ahora. Al principio pensé que era un 'Café temático amigos pero que no es el caso. Me parece que es un lugar muy relajante para sentarse y relajarse con un buen café y un almuerzo (con un valor increíble). Es una plena, estudiantes lugar pero no dejes que eso te desanime! Lo recomiendo para una comida ligera.

A really nice environment and good value lunch - soup is always wholesome. Have a nice range of cakes and drinks also. A good mix of people use the café. More gigs please.

Just a short message to say that the Italian bread soup is divine . A long with the lovely atmosphere and great company xxx

Metimos en un café con mi hija estudiante de estar localmente. Hay fácil aparcamiento cerca de la carretera, y una cálida bienvenida del personal. Teníamos un pedazo de pastel de zanahoria y la tarta de chocolate, que había sido entregado. Fueron excelentes, así como el café. La decoración es muy relajado, libros por todos lados, y sofás cómodos en la ventana. Recomiendo totalmente si quieres un cambio refrescante de las habituales caras empresas café en otro sitio.

Fuimos hoy por una café y tarta. Tenía un agradable de mantequilla de cacahuete blondie. Es un lugar acogedor y el personal encantador.

My local coffee shop. Very cosy retro retreat for a relaxing break with a cuppa and a cake. Fantastick coffeehouse. I will be back...

We went to this cafe for the first time even though we have passed it so many times. It was smaller than I thought it would be. We got tea for two n there was far more than really needed but that was a good thing. We had at least 3cups full of tea each. It was very quiet which could be awkward if you wanted to have a chat. Also my partner was annoyed that there was no friends items lol :P

Rather a leisurely & comfortable place for a quiet coffee (Sometimes a little too quiet), yet in a curiously stimulating environment. Coffee's nice, on the lighter side of a medium roast and there's plenty of treats to chose from. With it's laid back atmosphere, it's an easy place to sit and chill and you're eyes can't help but wonder around.

Popped in for brunch, full English very nice, cheesey beans on marmite toast delicious. Cappuccino was good, and the milkshakes and smoothies yummy.

A lovely and relaxed environment make up for the sometimes lousy hipster service. The mocha is hit and miss depending on who makes it. The cakes seem home made and are generally lovely when fresh.

Great cakes , nice atmosphere ! Nice little coffee shop on heaton park road! Good selection of gluten free and vegan foods

Others have commented on the coffee but it tastes fine to me!Also, there can't be many places where you can get a pot of speciality tea for £1.35.Great atmosphere and decor. Anyone who thinks it's scruffy is totally missing the point!❤️ Heaton

A lovely local cafe with games nights and other activities to involve you in the community. Great staff and food home made and tasty definitely worth a visit. If a trip adviser visitor local knowledge will be in abundance.

it's relaxed, it's chilled out, the coffee and the hot chocolate are excellent, good cakes and great snacks, can heartily recommend

A group of us let at lunch time on a hot day. We were able to sit in the yard.We had mainly cakes and drinks .Service slow, waited at least 10 mins for one drink and brownie but it is that kind of place. Staff quite friendly and helpful. Thought there could have been more choice of cakes but maybe we came on an off day.Like the books, papers etc to read. Pleasant atmosphere

Heaton Perk is a small community cafe in Heaton, Newcastle. Basic but very cosy with friendly staff an good home cooked food. Lots of kids there. Furniture basic. Worth a visit.

Heaton Perk is cosiness put into a building... endlessly quirky, with a brilliant selection of cakes and beverages at the best prices out there... Ideal for cosy reading sessions or catching up with your mates... a real gem hiding in Heaton Park road!

Popped in for coffee interesting place retro and different in a good way.Relaxed feel interesting at every corner. Coffee lush... Food great and staff friendly.A unique find in the most unlikely place

Nice chilled atmosphere, me and my partner have been here for lunch and coffee several times. Friendly service and a good selection of drinks (try the banoffee milkshake!) as well as nice wraps, toasties etc. Could have more vegetarian options?

Visited this place for the first time with a friend, I found it really cute & quirky. We sat outside as the weather was quite nice, only a few tables outside but we managed to find an area. We both decided to get a pot of tea & the brownie. Must say the Brownie was absolutely delicious. We were left to get on by ourselves & had to go to the till to order but I quite liked the relaxed atmosphere.

Nice coffee and food and staff friendly. But needs a renovation. Wobbly tables not helpful when drinking hot drinks. If you're going to maintain the drab style then maybe drop your prices as you pay the same anywhere else but much nicer furnishings not old school tables you've been donated. Also asked to buy a book they had there and was charged more than the price displayed on the back that you clearly bought it for. If you weren't just donated that as well. Nice coffee is nicer in a nice place, just trying to be nice about it.

I have never tried food in Heaton Perk but I could definitely recommend coffee, which is rich of flavour and very tasty, comes within good size mug, which i love, makes me always feel like home!

Ordered a Bacon, Sausage and Egg sandwich. Had to wait 40 minutes before being served a cold sandwich with no bacon. Rang up and was told to come back in half an hour to receive a new sandwich. However, when I came back they had made no attempt to make a new sandwich before blaming me for the mix up!

I rang Kris the owner in a panic on Friday 15th as the caterer we originally organised let us down for lunch box deliverys.we are a cheerleading group that competed at the sports central northumberland university on the Saturday, and had 48 children to feed! Kris couldn't do enough for me and even gave me a great deal for sandwich, crisps, drink & chocolate bar,I only managed to give him the choices of sandwiches at11 pm that night but was told it wasn't a problem.. Andrea Kris's wife delivered them to the venue on time,we were all very impressed with our lunch packs they were delicious, I couldn't give them a higher rating but would if I could, will definitely use the again next year .:-)

A place to just relax with a welcoming warm atmosphere and staff that just want you to have a good relaxing time. Free internet, magazines and table games. The staff are just normal welcoming people and the decor makes you feel relaxed and at home. Plenty of different snack options including Gluten free. Can't wait for our next visit.

Went in for two sandwiches and they were very nice, they do have one of those signs which says they serve fast food not food as fast as they can - which is true because it's always busy, the phone has to be answered and most importantly because the food is fresh, eg chop salad vegetables at different times of the day.Anyway, the buns wee nice and soft and taste nice too.

Horrendous food, arrogant owner that mistreats loyal customers. Never forget one of the most basic principals in business: THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT!

Best cafe in Newcastle. (No offence to Tea Sutra or the Flat Cap). You can't dislike this place. You can tell the staff love working there as well. They seem to be drawn from the students who live round about, so they have something going on behind the eyes, unlike the rictus-grinned androids with scripted greetings you get elsewhere.I don't get in as often as I used to, because my stupid job is in the opposite direction, and I'd gone there for a first date with my ex, which went swimmingly, which is more than can be said for the relationship that ensued, so I was a bit apprehensive when I went in for some food recently as you get so many reviews on here where people have gone back somewhere they really liked and said it was awful, and the prospect of stirring some unpleasant memories wasn't particularly appealing. I needn't have worried. The tea still came in quirky mismatched cups, the hot falafel wrap was exactly the way I remembered it, the staff were friendly, the service was good and as I sat in the corner with my paper, watching people going about their business through the big front windows (another thing I love about the place - especially if it's raining or snowing outside) I realised the only thing that could have improved the experience would be if a few of my mates had been there for a game of Scrabble.

Really cool place with a nice decor and atmosphere. The people are always lovely and it's nice to come into a quiet cafe and relax.I like the selection of teas and coffee and it's the best value in Heaton! I loved the cake and milkshakes! Yum yum!!!

Enjoyed our visit, very nice cakes and hot chocolate. Staff were very nice too. A refreshing change from bland chain type cafés. Don't expect fancy surroundings but a relaxing atmosphere non the less.

I visit Heaton Perk on a very regular basis and have done so ever since it opened. There's always a warm, friendly and personal greeting and as I sit in there the same goes for all customers; regulars and newcomers alike. The food is fab and they almost always have fantastic themed specials on incase I fancy a change! Best coffee in newcastle by a country mile.I've met many new friends in this place- they seem to provide an atmosphere that encourages people to just talk to each other rather than act like they're in some cosmo coffee bar! I'll continue to sup my coffee in this place for many years to come.

I don't know about you but sometimes I want a little more than supermarket / chain coffee shops and establishments have to offer. I want cake that doesn't look production-line made, a teapot that pours the tea with no dribbles - unlike the stainless steel ones in said establishments(why are they still using them?) Such a place is Heaton Perk. Quirky atmosphere, friendly staff, great non-plastic cake and the best cappuccino in town. Go in the winter and you'll get a bowl of soup which would sustain Hannibal over the Alps. Not to be missed !

Great spot to sit in a Sunday, read the paper (or one of the hundreds of random books on their shelves!), and enjoy a sandwich and a drink. Good selection, lovely traybakes, relaxed atmosphere.

If all you're looking for is a spot to relax with a brew and a cake look no Further than Heaton Perk. The staff are lovely, the cakes are delicious and if you're not careful you may waste away your whole afternoon playing scrabble or monopoly. Don't expect anything too fancy but I do recommend their milkshakes - they are quite something.

This is a cracking little cafe. Good coffee, cakes and toasties. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. It is a hub of our community. Note-to-self, I must go back soon!

the staff are brilliant in here, you are greeted like friends, the coffee is excellent and the food wholesome.

Heaton Perk is a lovely little spot to stop and watch the world go by. Fitted out in vintage style, it beckons you warmly in on a cold, wet day. Food is freshly made, and the latte I have ordered twice recently comes in a generous-sized portion and tastes good enough to me. Staff are always pleasant, polite and down-to-earth, and the prices are very fair for the city. The music choices are relaxing and enticing.Last time I was there I spied the displays of chocolate shortbread and other cakes on the counter, and I was sorely tempted by their sheer beauty, no kidding.Heaton Perk doesn't disappoint. I shall be back! .

Called into this cafe on New Year's Eve afternoon. We were greeted warmly. We ordered sandwiches and had a laugh sorting out what ingredients they had as they were not open the following day. The ambience is great - not pretentious at all and comfy. The paninis were fab and the coffee is really good. My friend had tea and she was offered hot water without asking. This is a great little place to go if you are looking for something a little bit different - and you can park close to it.

Have been here a few times as I live just round the corner! It's just such a lovely little place, good for getting coffee with a partner or a few friends. Cakes are really tasty and the staff are always really friendly too! It is a bit on the small sided but that just adds to the charm really

Recently popped to Heaton Perk for the first time for a spot of lunch on a chilly, rainy day! Great experience!! Wonderful staff and service, lovely cosy atmosphere, great value and super yummy cakes!!! Plenty of options, sandwiches and the likes and the choice of cakes and sweet treats was awesome! Loved the chintzy, cute, vintage crockery and teapots!Fab interiors with stacks and stacks of books to pick up and read, board games up for grabs and newspapers aplenty! Lovely haven to sit and enjoy a nice cup of tea-perfect for a lazy lunch with friends or family! Can't wait to return for more coconut and lime cake!

Charming little coffee shop, which has a bit of a cult following namely due to it’s name paying homage to the most famous coffee shop on television!The coffee was served perfectly, and they have a large range of cakes – I believe they are supplied by local girls Pet Lamb Patisserie!They always have friendly staff, which is always a bonus! :)

Nice laid back atmosphere and really good food.. Staff went out of their way to be helpful.

I have been visiting this cafe for almost 3 years . it is one of the most relaxed friendly places i like to frequent . great coffees . nicest staff (and good looking too) . you don't feel rushed and nice place to go solo and meet the locals . get chatting to the staff they are usually in bands or practicing artists . i just love it . very inspiring place to sit and relax people watch and be creative . way better then those soulless coffee shops like starbucks. this has actually got a heart and seems to be the center of the community around here. regulars visit a few times a day! love the Perk alot! . it brings me JOY xxxx

Heaton Perk is so quirky. 50s/60s retro mish mash of styles and totally unique. It's lovely to grab a coffee and snack and pick up one of the books on the shelves or read a newspaper. The coffee has always tasted fine to me, despite the complaints here.

There is not a typical profile for swindlers, there isn’t one for their victims either so don't get involved in the food here and take your own Nescafe in a flask, their cappuccino is awful and they even have the nerve to brag about it.

Such a great place. Books all arround old furnitures with lot of soul.Food and drink great.Love to com back again.

This coffee shop used to be fantastic. But for the past year or so the coffee has been undrinkable. Their filter coffee is fine, its anything that comes out of their espresso machine.The food is lovely and the staff are very friendly.

THey have a lovely coffee machine but no-one knows how to use it, what a shame.A weekly clean by a claener wouldn't go amiss, this place is scruffy.

loved the variety of different drinks coffee's milkshakes, floats etc. We also sampled a few of the cakes on offer and they were all lovely. Inside the cafe is a vintage mis match of furniture with lots of books and games. I live locally and am sure i will return.

Heaton Perk is a great little cafe with good coffee and a nice selection of alternative hot and cold drinks - not just the usual garage fodder!We come here quite a bit for a nice coffee and cake session, the brownies are spot on! and the rotating selection of other cakes is good too (maybe except the large muffins that are a bit bland!?). - also classic and retro sweets are nice to use up any change left over.The atmosphere is really good too, nice music playing, large windows to look our on, and plenty of oddities to observe on the walls and shelves, along with plenty of books you can swap for some of your own (same for same).Service can be hit and miss, with busy periods meaning you might be in for a wait, and if ordering food, best to order another coffee for the wait. - saying that the food is good for the price, nice mixture of sarnies that work well, nothing too adventurous.Overall its a good place to spend some time with a decent coffee; well worth trying out if near by.

It's that simple- just simple and lovely and easy.!

totally chill out place. very friendly, authentic and old fashioned. caters forr students, professionals and families. Food menu is limited - but I guess the kitchen space is limited too!! I visit with my son ( 12 yrs old ) and hubby and have a leisurely game of scrabble and a pannini or brownie and hot chocolate with all the trimmings. Keep up the good work.

very nice and friendly + really good coffee. Hope they do more food soon

Much better than Belle and Herbs. The best coffee in Newcastle. Limited food, a couple of panninis, to choose from, cakes, teacakes, etc. Coke in proper bottles, icecream floats. Books to exchange or buy, internet access, and a brilliant atmosphere. My best find of 2008.
