Mister Wood's cafe in North Tyneside

My partner and I came to Tynemouth for an afternoon out and came across Woods. We both got take-out coffees which were excellent; the Chai Latte I had was perfect. The cups were decomposable too which was nice to see, the staff were friendly, the location is ideal, right next to the beach, and there was outdoor seating too. The only thing which did annoy me was there was a surcharge of 40p for all the plant-milks. I can't stand when places do this. Whether it be an allergy or a preference for plant milks I don't see why you should pay extra for these. Plant-milks are better for the environment and of course, reduce animal suffering from dairy farms, so it's shame that at times you have to pay extra to care. If this 40p charge was abolished then I'd change my review to 5 stars as everything else was top notch.

Nice food, ordered a panini and a coffee and couldn’t fault it. Staff wore masks and separate area to order and collect. Tables outside spaced well apart.

Came here after having visiting my Uncle with my Mum at North Shields. I ordered from the window. I ordered two Ham and Cheese Croque Monsieurs and two Cappuccinos. The guy at the window wore PPE and a mask which was very safe and it made me feel safe and more comfortable. I paid him and went to the next window to collect my order. The girl gave me the order after 5 minutes and she was wearing a mask too. So I felt very safe there. I brought our order to the car and ate the food at a nice place nearby. The food and the coffees were very nice. I would recommend getting the Ham and Cheese Monsieur and Cappuccinos here.

Called at woods for bacon buttie Bread lovely bacon wafer thin two pieces and no taste ... so we had a bread buttie Very disapointing ...

Mr Woods is a busy coffee shop in Tynemouth which is currently operating as a takeaway only due to Covid-19. In line with government advice they have been operating card payments only since February/March (several notices in the windows advise this). It's good to see a business taking customer and staff safety seriously.The staff at Mr Woods are lovely and always try to ensure the customers needs are met.Looking forward to the shop re-opening when things return to normal.Stay safe and carry on.

Called for a takeaway coffee this morning and was refused because we had cash and not a card! You have happily taken thousands of pounds of cash from me over the years so to refuse to serve me now is SO BAD!!! Shame on you Woods I will not be darkening yours doors again and neither will any of my family or friends..

As a proper coffee snob it’s very hard to get a proper flat white in most places. This place does it very well. It’s just just such a relief to know somewhere in the north east actually knows what a flat white is!

Woods is by far my favourite local cafe. Prices are cheap and you get such great frappes. I also reccomend the almond slice chocolate cake. The only thing is that it tends to get very busy every time I go so there may not be enough seating left.

Went there every day whilst we were on holiday in Tynemouth. Spot on coffee, breakfast rolls and cakes.

I wonderful coffee and a lovely setting. It has a really homely feel about it as you look out over the Priory. Staff are very friendly and accommodating, the food is always very nice and well presented. We always enjoy our visit to this little gem!

We visited on 17 February and were glad to find this cosy lovely cafe. The coffee (flat white) was so good and cakes excellent. Staff very friendly and would not hesitate to return.

Visited Woods coffee shop on Saturday 1st Feb - cappuccino was wonderful - real chocolate pieces on the top. Staff very friendly and courteous. Can't wait to visit again!

After waiting to order whilst five staff chatted amongst themselves totalling ignoring customer we walked out. Unbelievable lack of professionalism and customer service.

A comfortable coffee shop with a lovely view of the Priory. Very friendly staff, a great ambience and delicious food. I had a bacon roll which was generously filled and a bottle of tomato ketchup was brought with it to the table so I could have as much or as little as I wanted, no silly sachets which you have to pay for. Excellent hot chocolate too. Would definitely recommend a visit.

After a long walk we came to this coffee shop . The place is really cost and beautiful ! The deserts were delicious . The pumpkin spice cake was delicious . It has the view of the castle !

Not many places open at 8.30 am in Tynemouth, so called into Woods. Quick breakfast and nice coffee.

Well situated coffee in the middle of Tynemouth. Well spacious with inside seating as well as outside. Can be busy during the the summer but it's worth the waiting. A large selection of cold and hot beverages. The large selection of cakes and sandwiches. The vanilla milkshake with added cream was simply delicious. The staff are very welcoming and pleasant. The price is reasonable.

We visited Woods Coffee twice for coffee and cake which was very good each time. A Decaf latte is £2.50 and lemon cake is £2. It was warm inside and outside its great in the sun. The staff are kept busy and are friendly and helpful. Parking on Front St outside is £2.40 for 2 hours or free after 5.30pm. Worth a visit!

Only dropped of for a take away Coffee after we have a walk to the light house and back. Coffee was definitely needed after that... We really enjoyed the taste of your coffee and I love the fact you use actual chocolate shavings on top of the cappuccino, so much better than dust. Nice touch

We always head here when we visit Tynemouth. Great coffee & cakes. Definitely worth a visit. Caramel slice was delicious & fruit scones equally as good.

Hubby and I just fancied a coffee and popped in here. Friendly staff and a lovely ambience, it was Thursday morning so it wasn’t too busy. Wendy & Derek xx

We recently went to Mr Woods and experienced yet another situation where there is a total lack of goodwill from the coffee shop, and their behaviour just appears stingy and a bit desperate.

Popped in for ice cream after visiting Riley’s fish shack , ice cream was ok and not overly expensive, I had chocolate and raspberry which was nice but I have had better not sure what the make was as I doubt they make their own, the venue is very clean and is probably more suited for coffee and a light lunch.

I just adore this place, has the most stunning view of the sea from the large expanse of windows and the coffee and service is always great. I am always pleased when you get actual shaved chocolate on top of my cappuccino. It has a decent selection of cakes and pastries too. Only down side is when it gets busy it can feel pretty cramped but if you’re lucky enough to get the window seat it’s a lovely place to be.

Lovely coffee house at the end of the main street. Serving meals cakes and snacks. Prices very reasonable. Nice seating inside and out. Busy and popular. Staff lovely

Only called in for a coffee when walking down front street as usual very busy but quick service. Plenty of tables both inside and outside. Staff cheerful and tables cleared quickly. Would recommend if your in tynemouth.

This is a large coffee shop with outdoor seating. It was very busy when we arrived and you have to queue up at a very small counter where only 1 person can prepare the drinks. There were plenty of staff and maybe would be better if orders were taken at tables so customers can sit and wait instead of standing. We only had coffee on this occasion and it was as expected but the wait to be served was too long in my opinion.

Had a nice bite to eat & a coffee this afternoon whilst enjoying the sunshine, the outside tables allow for a great view of the priory where you can sit & watch the world pass you by. Great little rest stop after a walk along the coast.

Lovely frappes and the lady serving us was so welcoming and polite 😊 she was singing george ezra and was lovely and chatty and a credit to the team, lovely place, clean and smashing staff

Stopped off for a quick lunch. Clean with lots of tasty options. We had the butternut soup with crusty bread...delicious. Followed by hot chocolate and cake. Order at counter and then find your seat. Great views of sea and Tynemouth Castle.

I often pop in for a coffee and bite to eat. Very helpful and friendly staff and good quality fare. Plenty of room inside and outdoor sitting area has good aspects.

We went by Metro from Newcastle to Tynemouth which we found a delightful town. We sat outside in a sunny, sheltered spot with a lovely view of the castle and enjoyed a soy latte and an unusual hot pear drink. Although it was too close to lunch to order anything to eat we did notice some delicious looking vegan cakes inside

A great spot on the corner of the main street serving good coffee and cakes. There is a more substantial menu which offers brunch lunch etc. and, whilst we did not sample, these all looked very nice.

It's a nice clean shop but bit over priced the coffee was average and the service was slow.room for improvement

We had paninis here for lunch today. I had the bbq chicken and mozzarella and my partner had the spicy beef and mozerella. He said there was very little beef in his. Mine was totally tasteless! It looked delicious but tasted of absolutely nothing! Really disappointing!

I’ve used Woods for years, good coffee and food, always a warm welcome from staff, good location, nicely presented cafe

Popped in today for a quick coffee and breakfast. Nice surroundings, good service and plenty seating plus it looks right into the sea. Trying to be a bit like Costa with sandwiches, baguettes etc for toasting. Breakfast offering was porridge, toast or a pre cooked bacon roll for heating up . Nice enough though

Called in for coffee not having visited before and were pleasantly surprised.

Really lovely place. With a takeaway hatch and a restaurant part it suits all visitors. The hot chocolate is gorgeous and the lemon cake is lovely. But pricey for what it is. Plenty of outdoor seating as we had the dog. Friendly staff too.

As a family we love visiting Tynemouth and have been doing so for a lot of years and it’s great that it’s a thriving, popular place to be .... we always stop for coffee and a snack in different places and I have to say although Mister Woods is good I always find the place annoying, 15 minutes in the que for a hot/ cold beverage is long but watching the staff fumble their way through is painful...... I counted at least 7 staff behind counter 1on floor and the manager/ owner , staff very rarely speak to the customer and the service is terribly slow. The toilets are messy and smelly and I really don’t think they are checked much throughout service ...

Visited many times and always had decent food and beverages .This time the panini which was meant to be chicken and chorizo distinctly lacked more than a couple of grams of chicken and the spread was of very very limited and finely chopped chorizo . A big disappointment ......The soup and sarnie duo seems to have been increased in price but the choice of sarnies was limited .Our more expensive Ham Hock sandwhich was again not upto previous standard lacking in taste . On the plus side coffees are very good and my wife says the flat white is the best she ever has . The cafe wasn't as full as usual but we will return in future

I came here for a spot of lunch and it was very pleasant. I had the chicken soup and a caramel shortbread which were both good. The staff were friendly, helpful and the atmosphere was very relaxing.

Lush coffee and lush cake and a lovely atmosphere on a cold Sunday morning , staff very polite and smiley and great value . Will return 👌🍰☕

Visited today having taken our dog for a good long walk. Tynemouth is interesting for a visit as lots of different shops and nice beaches and green areas plus priory

This independent coffee shop oozes comfort and quality not a big chain outlet with restricting company image and head office rules.

Visited here for work, lovely coffee shop, very popular. I’m sure would be super busy at weekends/summer etc. Great outlook over Tynemouth Priory, great central location and parking outside....ideal all round.

Poor service from the staff, not friendly or helpful. Interior is very basic and crowded. Food is massively overpriced. Toilets are disgusting. Won’t be returning.

Been afew times before and just as nice as always, nice sitting out in the sun on an October day. Coffee good. Only down fall at this visit long queue and place was only half full

Quality coffee, good vibe. Counter service with a bit of a queue. Space for buggies, nice views out over the priory & cliffs

Go often for drinks but the service is so slow. They are busy and I know that but you have to queue out the door which is not great and then takes ages to get a drink.

we went there yesterday after a visit to the castle to have some tea. Turns out the cups were badly positionned on the tray and ended up on my 6 year old. She has second degree burns and will be in hospital for at least 48 hours. I don't blame the place for the accident I do blame for doing nothing. I asked for ice (2 nurses were there and said that's what we should do) just got a tiny bucket of water and a paper roll. The manager or anyone did not come to offer help, an ambulance or anything. Thanks for nothing (writing this review at 2:30am on a hospital bed while my child is on morphine).

I visited this cafe after searching Trip Advisor. In a great position and view of the Priory a perfect addition to our Sunday outing. The sun was shining so we chose a seat outside, but I found the inside smelled a bit too fatty from cooking for my liking so that’s probably my only con for the cafe. The pros were plenty. Good gluten free selection, smooth wonderful coffee, alternative milks that were not all soya based (cafe tip get coconut milk without soya in it, it’s upsetiing to a lot of people), but oat milk was good, but not so much for GF people. Massive queue so a bit of a long wait but staff seemed pleasant. Worth it for the coffee and view. I never got to try the food.

Visited again. No queues this time, as they can belong at busy times. Excellent service. Lovely coffee. Great views and nice atmosphere. Visit here or you miss out.

This is a cafe in a wonderful location.Indoor seating I'd really good. And outside as well, with a very good aspect. People watching possibilities are fantastic.

My boyfriend and I had some bought some seasonal coffees for our walk alone the sea on a cold, windy day. Since I’ve gained barrister skills I have become a very fussy coffee drinker. Wood’s did not disappoint. If you want quality coffee, this is the place to go.

With so many places selling (in my view) indifferent single shot americanos, 4 of us who'd just completed the Sea to Sea cycle ride were delighted to find somewhere that prided itself on selling good quality coffee that tasted, well, of good quality coffee far superior to the chain coffee shops. It was so good that we all had seconds. Can't say better than that.

What can I say... great coffee in a perfect spot on the north east coast in Tynemouth! The coffee here was the perfect pick me up! Love the selection of gluten free sandwiches and paninis. The vanilla cooler my daughter had was delicious! Not forgetting the sweet treats of course! Love the choice of Naked Deli treats!!

A nice bank holiday you are spoilt for choice for places to eat and drink in Tynemouth, I like this establishment as it is light and airy with nice views over the Priory and the front street with plenty to look out t.

Comfortable whether you are going n your own or with friends lovely coffee fab views and friendly helpful staff my view whilst enjoying my latte

We went along when the coffee shop had changed its name to ‘Front Street Coffee’ or something similar. Apparently it was something to do with them dodging tax responsibilities.

Visited yesterday for mid morning drink with the family, sat on outside table sheltered from the breeze looking towards the castle. Good hot choc with big flake, and a tasty berry smoothie. Lots of tempting cakes and tray bakes on offer although I was looking for more of a Danish pastry.

Been on numerous occasions and always had an enjoyable coffee. But don't know what has happen.

We were having a long weekend away and decided to visit Tynemouth. We were looking for somewhere to have lunch and decided to come in here. The queue was very long but that is always a good sign. We ordered our food and drinks and then found a table at the front of the cafe looking towards the coast. Our food was delivered in no time. The staff were very friendly and courteous. We really enjoyed our food and drinks and would definitely return in the future. It's a great place to eat!

I visited Mister Woods because of the reviews and what others were saying of how good it is, so I decided to try it for myself.

Atmosphere is great as is the food and drink. I was greeted by what I thought was an avatar at first. Props to the chick with blue hair.. she's cool. Puts the rest of the staff to shame

An ideal place to sit outside on a sunny day with a drink and soak up the sea air. No table service so you have to collect you drinks from the counter. When busy this area can be crowded. Reasonably priced

Don’t get me wrong - I always enjoy my trips to Woods. The food is really nice, the view is great and you can nearly always get a seat.

The first thing you notice is the incredibly friendly staff. And then, of course is the view! I’d wager a good few restaurants would do anything to have this prime location dead opposite Tynemouth Castle & Priory.

Great place to sit and watch the world go by. Coffee and cake with a view. You will pay the Tynemouth premium, but in this premises it is worth it.

A friendly establishment. I always enjoy my coffee etc atMr Woods I have been going since it opened .The staff and location are very good ! if I thought of a way to improve it may be a waitress service. Whether it is feasible I l don’t know ?This is mainly because sometimes the queues mean that I have to find a different venue. It is good they have a loyalty card but it used to be much better value wise ,however they thought it would be better to bring it in line with the larger chains. I feel there is nothing wrong with being independent or very good to loyal customers.Even your free coffee has a surcharge should you want a large one! I think 40 p

This is just a few minutes walk from the Tynemouth priory and castle..This is a busy place and opens from 8.30 am til 5 pm & 9am til 5pm on weekends..The drinks were good prices..Coffee was very frothy and fairly hot..The one small toilet needs cleaned and some love..bit poor..The seating very cosy to say the least..Staff friendly..

Really nice coffee shop. Coffee is really good quality. My wife had a spiced chai latte and said it was the nicest she's ever had. Cakes ate excellent and the staff are very nice. The excellent view tops it off. Can be very crowded though

Whether meeting friends, with the family, out for a walk (with or without a dog) or an informal chat over business , this place is ideally situated The catering includes a selection of gluten free products Plenty of seating inside and out Pleasant friendly staff

I love this place: Tynemouths got a lot to offer in the way of coffee and tea opportunities but none that have the environment of this place.

after a visit to the priory and castle the family wanted a drink mister woodswas the first one we saw it was nice so sat outside with dog great drinks nicestaff well worth a visit

The is a busy coffee shop but to be honest I'll not be rushing back. The service was dreadful and for what we got the tea was cold in a short time and for £3.60 for a panini I'm sure that's a great GP. Luckily there are other dog friendly places to each. I don't think 28 loyalty stamps will temp me back

Original coffee shop feel, big and a lot of variety in the menu. I expected more from my ice cream milkshake, however may just be me!

Have been here a few times now and it's one of my favourite places to visit when here. Can be very busy. But worth the wait if you have the time. Just had a toasted panini which was fresh and very tasty. Likewise the ham sandwich my grandson had was clearly very fresh. Hot chocolate goes down a treat.

This is a coffee shop which does hot and cold snacks. Self-service with hot dishes delivered to your table. It is in a great location right beside the Priory at the coast.

Loved it here. Nice weather so we could sit outside. Really nice coffee, lovely food, nice atmosphere. There was a qeue at all time we were there, but service was quite quick and people seemed happy to wait.

It's nice cafe. With good view on sunny day sitting outside. The staffs are nice and friendly. Good wifi signal. Price wise is ok.

We've been here twice during a short break in North Shields. The coffee is very good & we really enjoyed breakfast there on our first visit (granola with yoghurt/ honey & a really tasty tea cake). Our second visit was for lunch - I had a tasty, chunky, chicken & veg soup & my husband had an average cheese & tomato toasty. They have a lot on offer - ice cream, cakes, good variety of teas, coffees & cold drinks. It's clearly very popular, it's a big place & was busy both times we went. Space for a pushchair, and high chairs for babies too.

I visited this charming cafe in Tynmouth on a Friday morning in mid-July. The place is welcoming, with seating inside and outside. The coffee was very good and the food that I had was nice. There was something off about the service, though. While there were 4 people working behind the counter, each order took an inordinate amount of time. They workers did not seem to know how to coordinate their time to efficiently handle customers. A very long and slow queue ensued. Hopefully this was only an off morning, since it would be a nice place to return to if it did not take so long to get served.

Stopped in for a late lunch there was a nice selection of cakes available. We opted for soup and toastie. The soup was lovely and my 4yr old niece loved it. The toastie was a bit skimpy and there wasn't much flavour to the ham and cheese but it was half price so felt I couldn't moan about it. Nice atmosphere and there is a chalk board wall in the toilets for the customers to write or draw on. My niece loved it.

Called in for coffee and cake today whilst walking the dogs. Great little place with plenty of outside sitting in the sun shine. Had white chocolate and raspberry tiffin that was great, plenty of bowels of water for dogs also

Popped in for a coffee and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and the friendliness of staff. Did not eat here but food looked tasty. Reasonably priced.

For such a large cafe the service counter is far to small and badly thought out, having to have the server almost juggle a full tray of hot drinks over another customers tray and then nearly drop it on me did not bode well and was just a little embarrassing for both of us.To be fair, coffee was decent but why areall the staff young, female and blonde with zero customer interaction and bored "I would rather be anywhere but here" pouts ? On the whole it's ok I suppose but not brilliant.

Hazelnut Latte was spot on - often comes far too sweet but perfect here. Fresh & moist blueberry muffin too.

My friend and I visited with our two young babies during the week over lunch.We were lucky to find a table as it was very busy during half term. Great views of the sea.Food was ordered okay. The first cup offered for tea was dirty but they changed it no problems. We just toasties and hot drinks - both served quickly. The waitress also warmed up the baby food in the microwave for us. She did forget to get it out but she was apologetic and got it quickly Would definitely visit again

I went today to get a smoothie with my brother. It was a good smoothie no doubt about it but they didn't ask if I wanted it to take out or stay on and I was left sitting inside with a glass jar , drinking it quickly because I wanted to go home. I just think they could put them in a plastic cup like they do for the take out ones or just ask. This isn't really a complaint more of a suggestion.However, just to clarify, the food and drinks are expensive but they are goooood.

Plenty of coffee houses to choose from, as it was a glorious sunny day Woods is on the sunny side on the corner so plenty going on. We ordered iced cappuccino's and couldn't fault them, enjoyed a very pleasant hour watching the coming and goings on a sunny Bank Holiday weekend.

Nice cafe and good coffee just far too much froff on cappuccino which resulted in only a half cupPrices are okCafe is clean

Stopped off for coffee and cake as a family. Lovely spot on the corner to watch the world go by. Very nice coffee and cake and good service.Only negative comment would be, not the best toilets in the world .
