No1 Queen Street Cafe in Newcastle upon Tyne

Weird place, went this morning, there was a man sitting on his own no food, no drink just sitting, with his coat on his knee , 2 tables along from us. We were asked what drink we wanted and what food, gave them our drinks and asked for a few more minutes for food, nobody came back so I had to catch their eye. I asked for a breakfast and my partner asked for avocado on toast. Quite a while later they came and apologised and said no avocado. My partner asked if she could have a smaller version of the breakfast as it was to much, the waiter said it should be ok, asked someone else who seemed to direct him to someone else who said no it. Any be done. So I cancelled my food (which didn’t even seem as if it had even been started) and said we would just have the drinks. One staff member went an whispered to the man on his own about making a smaller breakfast, they had a whispered conversation, she went back to the kitchen then a different member of staff came back and said, we have spoken to the manger and you can have a smaller breakfast, but we had already decided to finish our drinks and leave so said again ‘thank you but it’s ok’, within seconds we were handed our bill and the card machine put in-front of me and I was asked if I was paying card, my only just emptied coffee cup was removed and we were left feeling like we were supposed to leave immediately. I did say ‘oh I guess that means we have to leave’ but no response. I have never been made to feel so uncomfortable. Absolutely weird atmosphere, only a table of 4 having drinks so not as if it was even busy. Really put a dampener on the rest of our day.

We happened to pass this lovely place by chance. The waitress was incredibly friendly and gave us a Newcastle Welcome. The food was divine. The presentation was 10/10 with a taste to match. The china for the tea was so quirky and fun we all loved it. It was the perfect place to conclude our stay before our drive home and would recommend to anyone who visits

The staff in here are so friendly and always up for a giggle. Had Brioche bread with Nutella and wowza. Beautiful. Coffee was fab too. Really nice place

Un destino de visita obligada para el desayuno o simplemente una taza si visita Newcastle upon Tyne. Me alojé en un hotel cercano por un par de días y el hotel le dio a este fantástico lugar una recomendación brillante. Absolutamente hermosa comida con té servido en tazas de porcelana de hueso con una banda sonora en el fondo que está obligado a complacer. Tan bueno que fui dos veces.

Visité con mi perro para el almuerzo. El exterior era muy atractivo con las flores de colores y asientos llenos en el exterior. Inicialmente estaba parado afuera mientras las camareras caminaban me pasaban unas cuantas veces hasta que salían unos chicos (personal superior o propietario) para ver si me habían sentado ect. Él era amable y rápido para conseguir que me sentara y tenía un amor por los perros, que era muy buena charla. Me senté y serví rápido desde este punto y el servicio era muy bueno. Tuve el desayuno del rey que tenía ingredientes frescos del noreste y era muy sabroso. Todo cocinado perfectamente. Incluso tenían una salchicha de perro para nuestro perro que fue muy amable de su parte. El café tenía un buen sabor. En general volvería de nuevo y realmente quiero probar allí enormes sándwiches de desayuno.

While visiting the market on the quay side we fancied a walm drink and we stumbled across this place. Upon entering we were greeted by a very welcoming and friendly member of staff who showed us to our table and shortly after our drinks order was taken. The drinks were nice we didn't have anything to eat but the meals looked nice will be going back for food next time we are back in the north east

My Wife and I did a brief visit to Newcastle upon Tyne and stopped at No.1. unfortunately only had one regular front of house. But they made it work. The food was delicious and tasted fresh, I loved my Eggs Florentine. Would have been perfect if they had full regular staff. As it was really good value for money, dog friendly.

Just had the unfortunate experience of having breakfast here. I arrived at 10.45 and sat outside as the restaurant was full, around 11.22 i stood up and looked through the window to query the delay with the waiter who had taken my order. He promptly rushed outside ranting, raving and snarling at me like a rabid jack russell about how rude i was. It seems from reading the reviews that i am not the only person who has been savaged by this individual and i can only suggest that maybe he should lead by example. I had ordered the 'King' breakfast priced at £14 only to find that a couple of items had not even been cooked properly - the black pudding was cold and the tomato had not even been cooked, just literally cut in half - not sure what that was about. The rest of the staff were pleasant enough but seemed incapable of keeping up on a busy Sunday morning so all in all not a very pleasant experience.

This is second time I have visited, both times we had to wait so long . It annoys me when the drinks arrive a long time ahead of food. My friend had porridge with mushrooms which took 25 mins to arrive .. I had an awful croissant .. frozen in the middle and replaced with another equally frozen in middle. We were by this stage in a real rush to catch a train . Why on Earth they can’t have fresh cross ants .. there’s a bakery up the road!! Food did generally look good but we won’t be returning.

Lovely little place inside, manager seems nice enough and the coffee was average. No complaints with any of that. Sadly whilst my friend enjoyed her pancakes, the eggs Benedict was a huge let down compared to their opposite rival quay ingredient which was fantastic. My breakfast was luke warm/cold and the eggs were way too runny and undercooked. It was absolutely not worth the money unfortunately. The ham was delicious but overall sad to say it was a disappointment and we never got asked how our food was.

Visitamos el café en julio pasado y fue increíble, un desayuno adecuado, solo lectura a precio Volvió en enero de 2025 - frijoles fríos, una salchicha - tostadas de masa agria, eww - tostadas es £ 1 extra - pero se obtiene un chorrito gratis de lechuga en la parte superior del desayuno por alguna extraña razón. Si te apetece un desayuno tibio caro despierto entonces este es tu lugar, las fotos del viejo buen desayuno ya no es lo que obtienes

Extraño café cerca del muelle de Newcastle. Probé la sopa de tomate con infusión de chile y fue excelente. También tuve un lote de jamón simple como los llamamos en Coventry, un panecillo, bap, barm en otros lugares. Mi hijo tomó un chocolate caliente con crema batida y malvaviscos. La buena dama tomó un panini de atún y queso. Buen servicio y personal amable.

Visitado por casualidad cuando en una excursión de un día a Newcastle. Personal excepcionalmente acogedor y profesional. Menú limitado como 27 de diciembre, pero lo que teníamos, los cinco disfrutamos. Buena relación calidad-precio y muy sabroso. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente. Sin duda volveremos la próxima vez que estemos en Newcastle.

Gracias a Charlie, que hizo nuestra visita perfecta al invitarnos a entrar desde el frío y encontrarnos un asiento abajo, luego ser súper dulce con nuestra hija de 3 años, incluyendo consentirla - petición de frijoles horneados menú en la tarde! Lugar encantador, gracias : )

Noté el café al pasar y decidí pasar a almorzar con mi esposo. El café estaba ocupado, pero nos dijeron que había asientos abajo. Me gustó mucho la decoración peculiar y la señora que nos sirvió era encantador, eficiente y amable. El menú era interesante y la comida realmente encantadora y vale la pena el dinero. No me gustó la música, pero no sentí que encajara con el ambiente del café. Lamento decir que el café descafeinado fue el peor que he tenido en mi vida, siendo tibio y probando leche caliente y sin merecer ninguna estrella. Me decepcionó haber pagado £ 4 x 2 tazas. El personal debería probar el café y verlo por sí mismo. Volvería y tomaría una taza de té con la comida encantadora, pero definitivamente no me dejaría caer para un café. Gracias.

Si usted está fuera de compras en el centro de la ciudad de Newcastle o en un paseo por el Queyside, entonces usted necesita para ver este pequeño diamante de un lugar. El personal era muy amable y se esforzó por proporcionar un servicio al cliente increíble. Tuve la sopa del día, que era una sopa de tomate y chile y la recomendaría encarecidamente ya que complementaba perfectamente un día de otoño.

Ubicación excepcional. Excelente comida. Servicio eficiente amable. Opción si está dentro o fuera. Muy recomendable.

Café con leche era Luke cálido - impactante a £ 4 la taza 🫤no volvería - El servicio tampoco es genial ☹️ muy decepcionado 🤷‍♀️

Cute little place that serves lots of everything really at very respectable prices in this day and age Was there appox 7:20AM and having a nice lady to speak to after a 16 hour shift was a lovely way to start my day after work

Six of us dropped into this cafe for a late morning coffee. No problem even though we weren’t after a cooked breakfast. Good tea and coffee enjoyed by the group. I had a fruit scone which was fantastic. My wife had a chocolate chip cookie which she described as delicious. Both were made in house. Staff friendly. Only sorry I didn’t try the breakfast which I suspect would have been a worthwhile experience.

Good, greasy spoon style breakfast- let down by the surly staff and unwelcoming atmosphere. Stood at counter to order takeaway- don't mind waiting while it's busy (which it wasn't) but a simple acknowledgement/ common courtesy such as 'hi, we'll be with you in a minute' wouldn't be too difficult, would it? Or cracking a smile while you're at it! You really do get the feeling they don't like you bothering them, ridiculous behaviour. The guy cooking the breakfast wasn't as bad as the young lass and older woman. Black pudding is cut too thin, like 0.5cm width if that. And they gave me wholemeal toast which I don't like, nor did I ask for. So that got left. Everything else was fine. Coffee was good. Decent value. Just miserable customer service - you need to sort it out.

Had a great full English breakfast which was a huge portion served quickly by friendly staff and set me up for a dog walk along the river, and it's dog friendly - he enjoyed his sausage too.

Visited today. Entered and stood at the counter perusing the menu. Enquired about coffees but did not get a chance to enquire about food as was abruptly informed by a rather grumpy looking lady 'this is a breakfast cafe, I will have to sit you at those seats over there as these tables are for people ordering breakfast'. Confusingly, there were 3 or 4 empty tables at the time and nobody else waiting so I'm not sure which customers we were preventing from enjoying breakfast! We informed her, 'no problem, we'll enjoy breakfast elsewhere'. Clearly the hostess is not a morning person so it is a shame she is working in a 'breakfast cafe'....

Visited here for breakfast on our last morning of a short trip to Newcastle. I had the Queen breakfast and my wife had the Veggie breakfast. Both were amazingly good value and were served piping hot accompanied by tea and coffee. Thoroughly recommended with great, friendly staff but advise that you arrive early to make sure of a table.

If you want a really tasty full english, accompanied by a tasty beverage at a very reasonable price, this is the place for you. Friendly staff, no rush easy pace. Defo 5*.

Food was poor, cold eggs served on cold toast, made worse by rude and slack waitress. Leaned across our table to get cutlery without warning or apology, then made a huge fuss pretending to not be able to get past me whilst I was getting something from my bag. A normal and courteous person would have asked or seen there was a gap big enough for an average sized person to get through - instead, waitress huffed and puffed and tapped her foot in irritation. Won't revisit as a result of rude staff.

Visited No 1 Queen Street many times for sandwiches and a good old full English breakfast! Will visit many times again as you get what you pay for and not too pricey.

Great breakfast options, well cooked, lovely high Victorian ceilings, a destination in itself. Good selection of drinks. Friendly staff.

We were lucky to get a table as it's a popular place. You have to go to the counter to order your food. I had a breakfast muffin and my friend had a small English breakfast and another friend had poached eggs on toast. The poached eggs were fine but the fried eggs were rather hard - perhaps we were unlucky! Anyway it's great value for money and popular with locals. We've been here before and I'd go again.

First visited this cafe for breakfast over 15 years ago and the high standards of good tasty simple food has been maintained. We went in for breakfast and although there were notices saying a reduced menu was available, there was still a wide variety of food to choose from. Great service, excellent breakfast rolls and a good price in this cafe. Both the layout and service were of a different age in a positive way. Great place between Bigg Market and the quayside. Go try it when in Newcastle.

Wandered the streets and came across this place. Great friendly staff and a large menu. Opted for various filled rolls, sandwiches and paninis. Delivered to our table by a really friendly and chatty waitress. Tasty food as well

Visited the cafe two days in a row whilst in Newcastle on business. The ‘Bellybuster’ is the best breakfast in the town, large portions for a very generous price. Would recommend to anyone visiting the town for any purpose, will be visiting once more when I return. Staff are incredibly friendly too! 5 stars from me.

We had to queue as this is a small inside space although there are a few tables outside but it was well worth the wait. A belly buster was six quid and a full English was less than five. Lovely tea and lovely toast. They were very busy but very accommodating. Lovely food.
