Matfen village store and coffee shop in Northumberland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

As one of a group of cyclists from Newcastle Great Park, it’s always a good stop off before the final stretch back home. Butties and a drink 👍, along with friendly service. Courtyard round the back is great when the weather allows.

Absolutely excellent breakfast - scrambled egg, bacon, beans toast and a pot of tea all for £8.85 Amazing ! And charming helpful staff too! Absolutely top recommendation. I’m a cyclist and we visit coffee shops everywhere all the time. Don’t miss this one - you won’t be disappointed.

Cycling over the hills, in to wind and not sure there was a cafe in the village, made this a wonderful sight. On opening the door the array of tray bakes shouted out to me. Settled in the courtyard, we soon got our much earned calories. Delicious. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would make this a regular destination if we lived closer.

Great value tasty food. Excellent service and very helpful, patient staff. Thank you. Will definitely be back.

Highly recommended for a friendly welcome, homemade pies, flans tray bakes and scones. I enjoyed a wonderful steak and ale pie stuffed full of tasty eat all wrap in buttery light pastry. Good gluten free adaptations too.

Breakfast at Dolcissima is a super experience. Nothing is too much trouble and typical breakfast delights such as scrambled eggs, bacon beans and toast arrive in great quantity and very rapidly. Together with a pot of tea the cost was £8 which is amazingly reasonable and the quality of the food and the presentation was excellent. Bravo! Here is another hidden gem! I don't want to write this in one way as I don't want the place to be inundated with visitors - it's selfish of me but it really is that good!

Stopped for a coffee but ended up having delicious beef sandwich, staff were lovely and food delicious, we will be back!

Excellent selection of deli products, fresh ham s superb, quiche and pie great to take on a round of golf as halfway snack. Staff friendly and professional. All in all a really nice local shop and cafe with a good choice of fresh deli products.

It was good the crisps were bussin and the steak pie was also rather bussin no cap but the sausage had green green bits in it(not bussin).then to our surprise the ice cream vas drove past and we flagged it down and purchased some rather bussing mr whippy and the the guy who served them was also rather bussin no cap. And later that day after polishing off the mr whippys and a liter of apple juice(bussin) then me and my friends where sick in the side of the road. Definitely worth the 12 mile hike👍 Yours sincerely Mr whippy

Rude ignorant staff who completely ignored us while we stood beside them wanting to be served and carried on their conversation for ages. Ended up walking out through their gathering and still no acknowledgement. Will not be back.

Looking for a quick lunch whilst our children were enjoying the high ropes at Go Ape, we stumbled upon this nice little coffee shop. The short menu seemed all home cooked, served by friendly staff in the pretty little garden area. The prices were reasonable and the setting quite delightful. Not easy to find, but follow the signs from the village green; it’s well worth it.

Visited the village for the first time with a friend. We found this coffee shop, the staff were great, the food was tasty and we had fun meeting a few new people there as well. I would recommend a visit.

We had a great friday night dinner in the Matfen village store and coffee shop. The food was delicious and excellent quality - very good value for money. Absolutely top marks to the staff who were so friendly and professional. I can highly recommend, and we will definitely return.

I would defiantly recommend to book in for food the twice monthly dinners, The staff are friendly and welcoming. I had the belly pork which was perfect.

Called in here this Sunday morning and decided to try the food , had the full Matfen breakfast which was the business, all locally sourced and excellent value for money , staff are very attentive and cannot help enough, 10:10 in my book We will be back

This little village shop feels almost like a time capsule. They have the most important things together with a small tea room. After the pub closed this is now the only meeting place in this village. If I could afford it I would retire and...

We visited the village store a couple of times when we were staying at Matfen Hall. The staff are very welcoming and helpful, the food was traditional, homemade, delicious and reasonably priced.
