Number 50 in Northampton

Popped into the cafe with my husband today. Both of us asked for sandwiches not on the menu - the waitress was so lovely, as was the chef, totally accommodated us. Sandwiches were delicious, generous portion and lovely ingredients. Sadly we had to rush off due to an appointment but will definitely be back!

Lovely lunch great service very friendly atmosphere great food .Home made staff can't do enough for you will definitely go again thankyou

Lovely 1st visit to the tea room. Had scones and pot of tea. Lovely tea room, clean and good value for money. The staff were very friendly and pleasant to talk to. The food was served quickly and was delicious. Have walked past this tea room many times and was glad we went in today. Would highly recommend and look forward to returning.

As always a totally amazing breakfast that filled me and my family up for the rest of the day. Great value for money. Staff are amazing very friendly and would go out of there way to assist anyone's request.

Mini cream tea amazing value well presented. Great value for money. Lovely atmosphere and kind friendly staff

Visited on a whim, however was pleasantly surprised! I had a latte which was perfect and they accustomed me to my needs when I asked it to be extra hot. I also had a tuna sandwich which was on thick-cut wholemeal bread and it was clear it had been made fresh and not prior. Staff were so friendly and welcoming, acted like we were old friends! Will definitely be returning soon, can't recommend more.

My five year old grandson loves there ham & cheese toasties. I would recommend this place to anyone good food and people.

Visited at lunchtime for pre booked Afternoon Tea ,6 friends. Friendly welcome. When afternoon tea arrived , each person had their own tiered stand, Lovely fresh sandwiches, mini quiches, crisps. Top tier numerous cakes and scone , jam, clotted cream. Really plentiful and presented well, Tea or any coffee plus some of us had extra drinks, One of the best value for money and best in freshness and quality afternoon teas I have had for a long time. £14.95 per person. Thank you Emma who looked after us xx

I often pop in here with a friend. Friendly staff and the food is lovely. My friend gives the cottage pie a 10/10!

Since my last review I have returned many times and have not been disappointed. Each time the welcome and service is the same. The food is always spot on and good value. Whether going for breakfast, lunch or just a catch up with friends over cake and coffee you never feel rushed. However busy they are the service is always the same. Great place, friendly staff and good service. Looking forward to my next visit.

I visit this venue along with a couple of friends every two months.On previous occasions we have had a variety of food ranging from all day breakfasts,toasted sandwiches, jacket potatoes & home made cake all of which have been excellent.Unfortunately our last three visits have been somewhat less than successful !! On more than one occasion there have been instances where there has been a third world range of food namely hardly any !! Also I got the impression from staff that we were imposing & they really wanted us to leave.I am not sure if the staff have changed but they certainly do not seem as accomodating as they were during previous visits ! We had to leave very disappointed for the aforementioned reasons & ended up at another venue which although cheaper was certainly not as good !! I would have thought with the damage to businesses Covid has caused venues such as this would get their house in order,a very poor show !!! 😞

Small cramped and over priced! Refused to give a refund despite stating they counter for nut allergies. Upon realising they couldn’t they stated they don’t give refunds

I've eaten here a few times, the food is exceptional, the staff are both exceptional and the customers are all pleasant. Every time I've eaten here it's been like an angel has danced on my tongue so it's a big thumbs up from me

Very disappointed. Charged £8.60 for two takeaway sandwiches - cheese and ham, and tuna mayo. Thick, crumbly bread with very average fillings. Overpriced.

was working in the local area so popped in for a takeaway breakfast. food was great & customer service was even better. seeing the way she dealt with a older customer really shows that she cares. would definitely recommend & will be revisiting.

Went to tea room apparently no booking ….. Did speak on phone day before. Very disappointed. Left very upset. Will never recommend to any of my friends/family

How amazing these were thank you for making our valentines so special jodie would highly recommended

Thank you for lovely afternoon my grand children age 1/3 plus Emily age 11 had a wonderful hallowe'en afternoon tea our food was amazing too your service was first class ,we are all looking forward to our next treat x

We visited for breakfast on the morning Number 50 reopened (as a table of 2) and although small inside, social distancing measures were excellent. Jo was lovely and really helpful catering for me being vegan. We had a lovely breakfast and there was also a lovely atmosphere. Cant fault it! Thank you so much and see you again soon!

Absolutely fabulous cream tea delivered to the door during lockdown. The sandwiches were delicious little quiches delicious and the cakes well were just delicious. Totally recommended and excellent value for money.

Went there with my daughter today for lunch. It was brilliant. We aren't local to Duston but saw the reviews on TripAdvisor so thought we'd try it. So glad we did! Food was generously portioned and really tasty - everyone was really friendly too. They also deliver afternoon tea (within travelling distance specified) at no extra charge so if you know anyone homebound this would make such a great present idea that I'm surprised that no one else has thought of it before... when my mum was alive this would have pleased her so much as she found getting out and about so very difficult.

We decided we wanted to stay local and pop out for a nibble but when we arrived we got tempted by the all day breakfast. It was very nice indeed, my only minor gripe is that I think there was margarine rather than butter on the toast. We also shared a plain scone with clotted cream and jam which was lovely, obviously not freshly baked but still nice.There was a nice atmosphere in the cafe, the prices are very reasonable and we'll definitely go back.I'm surprised they are only open until 3.

We visited this lovely tearoom for the first time with an elderly friend and found it a delight. Sarah was welcoming, helpful and friendly. The menu covered all tastes and appetites from all-day breakfasts to soup of the day. Our party had two freshly cooked cottage pies, homemade and piping hot with a jug of gravy on the side, and one soup, with a choice of bread, butter and croutons. The tea came in a large pot and gave us three cups each. On the way to pay we noticed the homemade chocolate orange cake and ginger cake so we had to try them! They were both deemed tasty, moreish and very fresh. The whole experience was lovely and the final bill very reasonable. We thoroughly recommend this little tea room and hope to visit again in the New Year. Having read some of the negative reviews I think that some people are being very over-critical, it is a tearoom not a pub restaurant and it does exactly what it says on the tin very well indeed.

Sometimes a little tea room is just the thing for food with friends. Quiet , even next to a bed at road too. We had a mixture of food requests- a breakfast, a cooked lunch and sandwiches etc . which was no problem. Happy and helpful waitress. Also provide an afternoon tea to your door.

Food is sometimes cold or over cooked, not very good for elder People who have trouble eating. We area day care centre who ordered food as takeaway

I wanted to go for afternoon tea, he wanted to go for breakfast, so we compromised. Went for breakfast and had cake to go.What a little gem. Beautiful little classic tea shop, comfortable and not crammed together as they often are. Tea in a pot with cup and saucer and freshly cooked breakfast (no grease in sight!!!) And huge fresh yummy cakes to chose from.Really friendly staff, the customers clearly knew each other and lived lovally but were happy to include us outsiders in the jovial conversations.What a lovely way to spend an hour. We will be back.

I visited Number 50 with a family member after finding it on the list of the best places for breakfast in Northampton. Lovely warm welcome, wide variety on the menu, tea and coffee delivered to our table very promptly. Following a recommendation from another guest we opted for pancakes with syrup plus cheese on toast. Really very happy with our breakfast, keen to re-visit for afternoon tea on another occasion. Can recommend! Having driven from another part of town, we were able to park a short walk away.

First visit today and cannot fault anything from the service to the quality and quantity of the food which was fresh and great value for money. It is small and quaint but everything you would expect from a tearoom and we will definitely be back. Can't believe it's taken us so long to discover this little gem right on our doorstep. Definitely worth a visit.

Food was great (Large cooked breakfast) and the staff were very polite. Free WiFi was also a nice bonus.

My friend and I visited this cafe for the first time today. Having read all the positive reviews we thought we'd be in for a treat. The coffee and cake were lovely BUT the service and atmosphere was awful.

Visited here today as a treat from my Sister, had the afternoon tea which I have to say was the best we have had to date. We have tried lots of different venues and this was definitely the best by far, lots of finger sandwiches, crisps, two warm mini tarts, several different types of cake and a scone, jam and cream to die for. Along with a large pot of tea, all food was really tasty and very fresh and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Stopped into this lovely cafe to have a coffee and do my work. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

I visit this establishment along with a couple of friends on a Saturday afternoon every couple of months.We generally order medium/large breakfasts & jacket potatoes followed by a slice of cake.We have always found the food excellent & the staff friendly & attentive.The only complaint we have relates to the toilet which has nothing to do with the cleanliness,however the door lock is very stiff & really does need fixing/replacing !!! It has been like it for some considerable time & doesn’t require rocket science to sort !!!

Visited Number 50 tea rooms Main Road Duston for breakfast 26/01/19. (After reading good reviews maybe written by friends) Now let me explain about our visit we ordered two breakfasts 1 medium and 1 large and two coffees.The waitress took our order and then told us they have no sausages cooked but they could offer us a extra piece of toast. Toast !!!! to replace 3 sausages!!! well I'm not great at mathematics but I'm sure a slice of bread does not equal the costing of 3 sausages so we decided to except a side order of chips on the large breakfast. Well the side order of chips consisted of 9 yes you are reading this right 9 pathetic microwave chips !!!!! Also asking the waitress TWICE for the bacon to be well done . still came out of the kitchen under cooked.

Called in this lovely quaint cafe after reading the review on tripadvisor. I was not disappointed the staff were very friendly and seemed to know many of the customers. To be honest it was like being in a aunties kitchen cooked fresh and with passion. I will certainly visit again. Thanks for a lovely experience.

Had a lunch in the cafe which was really nice, good value & obviously freshly prepared. Staff really friendly, would definitely visit again & would recommend

The cafe was really small with very few tables so we were lucky that the table for four was vacant. It was mid-morning and we fancied scones...which were hot, soft and fluffy. Both the coffee and hot chocolate were good as was the service. Very friendly.

Great little tea room, perfect for small meetings with fresh tea & coffee and breakfast that's cooked fresh. Staff are very polite and will be able to answer any worries about whats ingredients.

A breakfast visit here. They have different sized breakfast plates for all appetites. We had the small and it came with egg (1), bacon (1), sausage(1), baked beans or tomatoes and a thick slice of toast. Nice selection of coffee and tea to accompany. My only issue, although the ketchup was delivered in a well known brand's bottle it definitely had that vinegary taste you associate with cheaper catering ketchups! Apart from that a nice breakfast in quaint surroundings,

Met a friend here, had a lovely lunch, tuna sandwiches, crisps, salad. The cappuccino is good. And the lemon cake was amazing 😉. Will definitely return

A small café with a reasonable range of options. Tried the Tomato and Basil soup and homemade Lemon cake, both were good. Parking available on road outside.

Looked a lovely little place to have a cake and cuppa going by the photos. Sadly it was not the case when we visited. The interior could do with a good lick of paint.

I've been trying for 2 weeks to make a booking for afternoon tea.. phone just rang and rang unanswered every tome.I called.. tried messaging via messenger twice also ignored.. obviously doesnt want the business so will go elsewhere!!

Cannot recommend afternoon tea here highly enough. The quantity and quality of the food was exceptional, along with the service and venue. Will definitely be returning.

Such a cute cafe, we had the breakfast and it was delicious, no complaints whatso ever. Service was great , very attentive , good value for money and loved the cuteness of the interior too .!

Lovely place, food was fantastic and the staff are so lovely! It's a shame I live nearly 80 miles away because I'd definitely be a regular customer! 5*

We had the pleasure of picking this venue for my step daughters 7th birthday party and what a wonderful choice we made! We went for the theme of "A Mad Hatters tea party" and Jo (the proprietor) couldnt be more accomodating, the children had such fun.

I took my mum there on Sunday for afternoon tea and was pleasantly surprised, it was my first visit to the cafe. It's a quaint little place. The girls were very pleasant and worked hard to make sure everyone way happy. Our drinks and afternoon tea was served quickly. The food was nice, scones were amazing, we couldn't finish so they boxed up what we couldn't eat so we could take it with us. All in all, good value for money with pleasant staff and I would definitely go back and recommend - thank you for a lovely afternoon.

It maybe a small place compared to the big boys but it is cosy and there is always a warm welcome. Great coffee and cake. Ideal place for light snacks.

Cute little place but it was quite cold inside & food didn’t blow me away.

Met a friend for a quick catch-up, couldn't resist the bacon and egg bap...huge, well cooked and tasty. He had a lovely looking piece of homemade chocolate cake. Big pot of tea in a pretty bone china pot with mismatching cups and saucers. Staff were very friendly and it was all very reasonably priced. It's small inside so probably gets full from time to time. Would definitely recommend and go back.

Lovely place in a lovely setting decor is great and staff are warm and friendly food is always top notch

let's start with there is nothing wrong with the cafe and the reviews about the staff are correct they are lively people. The cafe is in the centre of Euston night street in a quaint store / old house. This makes the cafe area pretty tight and the age of the building means the lighting / windows are of the era and not offering much of a view or sense of space. we like visiting different cafes and due to its popularity decided to give it a go (we prefer out of town cafes).

After taking mum to hospital appt we needed to find somewhere for lunch, we'd previously tried Poppyfields but felt we needed something a bit more personal, three of us had jacket potatoes, wonderfully cooked, a lovely warm welcome from owner, will definitely have lunch again at No 50 in the next few weeks.

A stroll into Duston on a sunny day - first visit to Number 50 - lovely welcome, nice atmosphere- lovely staff - great cake - what more can you ask for? We'll be back.

Great place to pop in on a morning and have a good hearty breakfast. The staff are friendly and they have a great selection of home made cakes. Pop in and have a taste you will not be disappointed.

You can always guarantee a warm welcome . The coffee and food are a added bonus.

Cosy,nice food and pleasant staff. Nice to have lunch and then browse the 2 charity shops and pick up a few essentials in the Coop. Ideal on a winter afternoon. It is snug.

I went to drop stuff off at RSPCA & after that fancied a coffee & was a bit peckish.

The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. The wait between ordering and the food arriving was just right. Wow, when the food came we were not disappointed. Good portion size and quality of food. Fantastic value for money. Look forward to our next visit.

Nice little shop , great to support local business , some really nice dishes ,friendly staff , recommend

Went in for the first time what a lovely little place cosy.ordered coffee while waiting saw the cake couldn't resist to have a slice good choice I'd recommend people to go you will have a nice suprise

I have visited No 50 a few times now with friends. It is unpretentious and welcoming. Jodie keeps it all going for customers and provides a much needed cafe in Duston. She works hard to offer both good food and value for money. We will definitely be coming back for more!

Visited 11am with two friends for coffee and cake. Very welcoming as usual with service prompt and friendly. We have been here several times and this has become our venue of choice for our regular get-togethers. Highly recommended.

Had a all day breakfast which was lovely with a quick service in a nice location and at a good price.

Can always count on finding a lovely family of people that is growing with each visit! Always love the great breakfasts and expert coffee :)

Had a delicious lunch today in friendly warm atmosphere.Nice cuppa and chat.Want to try afternoon tea next. As I live nearby if only they served alcohol then it really would be perfection!

Seeing the reviews were pretty good for this place we dropped in for lunch.Menu was quite limited but not a show stopper.What really disappointed us was the menu said 'hand cut bread' which to me gave the vision of a lovely fresh bloomer cut by hand, yet our sandwiches came out made with some dry old Hovis-like sliced wholemeal bread that I would have chucked out if at home. Hopefully this was just a one off...but dare I go back and see if it was?

My partner and I visited last month for lunch, we have been here before under previous management. My partners food was excellent, mine was ok- good portions. Limited menu (our opinion only) however we understand it is a small cafe. Lovely fresh bread used, ideal location if you live in Duston like us. Would suggest that the salt and pepper containers are cleaned regularly as they were really filthy - other than that nice cafe, would probably go back.

Very pleasant lady runs this restaurant. Good value for money, good home cooked items. Happy to recommend this place to anyone going through Duston, quite a gem.

Came upon this lovely coffee shop whilst on our way to Althorp - we were too early as it doesn't open until mid day. The coffee was delicious and Jodie (who runs this all on her own) was very welcoming.

Have been here a couple of times when someone else was running it, very happy to say the breakfast is just as delicious! Very good value, nice relaxing atmosphere and the young waitress was very friendly, engaging and chatty without being intrusive. Great visit thanks

Lovely pot of tea. Chocolate cake was scrumptious. Very clean and great service. Well worth a visit for a morning or afternoon catch up

I have visited several times now with friends. Lovely food and a very friendly welcome it has now become our regular meeting place. Definitely worth visiting

Very nice Quiet homely cafe just inside Duston village ,, generous portions​ Friendly Staff will definitely come again

Very nice jacket potato with tuna and mayonnaise and fruit scone with cream and strawberry jam Nice quiet cafe in Duston village will come again

Recently took my mother and sister-in-law for afternoon tea at Number 50, and it was absolutely beautiful. The food was delicious, tea was lovely and the staff were attentive. Can't wait to come back.

Customer service outstanding nothing is too much trouble. My son thinks it the best cafe as they cater for his dietary needs. Worth a visit.

You can really trust the passion that's in the cafe right down to the ambition and competitiveness to make all the customers happy and get them their breakfasts even faster.

A lovely little place, very friendly staff and what a varied menu for such a small coffee Shop, 1 of the best I've seen.

Another fantastic breakfast accompanied by a warm welcome I couldn't recommend 50 enough a great experience all round

So, I'm waiting for my veggie breakfast and my pal opposite is waiting for the meat eaters alternatives ....... let's see how we go ..... good, not amazing, would have preferred more mushrooms. All round I will come here again. The cake looks good but I'm not in the mood, maybe another day

Popped in for a quick bite to eat. Bacon and sausage sandwich. Excellent. Very quick and very friendly service. Highly recommended.

Me & my family visited for breakfast, we had a mixture of things including a large breakfast, huge breakfast baps and small breakfasts. The large breakfast was huge and my Dad felt full just looking at it but managed it all and it was a steal at around £7! The breakfast bap was a good size with bacon, sausages mushrooms and a egg and was priced at around £4. I had the small breakfast and I have to say it was scrummy. The sausages were cooked perfectly and I don't usually like sausages in cafes as they can be fatty and grisly but these were just delicious. The toast was thick and fresh and it exceeded our expectations. We were greeted by a very friendly lady who took the time to talk to us and check we were happy with our food. The setting is very calming and welcoming. Overall our visit was lovely and we will definitely be returning to try out the cakes as they looked delicious.

Good food nice pleasant staff good value for money thanx I must say for a small cafe there is a wide choice of food

First time at this establishment. First impression as I walked through the door...very well presented, beautifully decorated in calm relaxing colours, a country cottage feel and most importantly, clean.I was greeted warmly by the female owner, and felt instantly welcome. I sat near the entrance to the kitchen and had no issues. I ordered a medium sized full breakfast and was pleasantly surprised when it arrived, a good size and nice to see quality bacon and sausage in particular. Too many places deliver cheap quality in this department.There was a pleasant ambience to the place with some low background music playing.Not sure on the history of the place, but the present owners have only been in business since January 2017. All in all, I would highly recommend it, and I will certainly be visiting again.

I visited this place for breakfast and I must say it was incredible. Great bacon and egg baps. Will visit again.

We dropped in for coffee and a toasted tea cake, the staff were very polite, the coffee was very good and the tea cake was done to my liking. The price was reasonable and I would definitely visit again

Good tasty food at a good price, served by a friendly proprietor, i will go out of my way for this personal service!

I wasn't going to write anything but after conversation's with others I think it would be best to review as I normally would. I'm a coeliac so I can't eat wheat, gluten or barley. This is not a fad diet choice this is an illness I have that can cause me serious problems. I asked the waitress if they did gluten free bread she went and asked the answer was no, I asked the same about the sausages again no. Now this isn't an issue most small buisness can't accommodate such requests especially when gluten free products cost so much more. But on my request of if I could swap the sausages for something else she went into the kitchen and the manager ( I assume ) came out and In front of the other four customers demanded I tell him what is gluten free is all about while standing over me with his arms crossed ( I found this very intimidating). I was completely mortified and embrassed. I tried to explain but he walked of. I then pulled the website up to show him on my phone to explain it's an illness and his reply was maybe I'll read it later and walked off. The waitress then bought my food out and made a song and dance of if I need anything. By this point I was so upset I was crying. I didn't even get to try the breakfast. It did look delicious but I was so embrassed I couldn't sit there. I left the money of £6.50 for breakfast and a £1 tip for the waitress and left. I hadn't even drank my tea. It's such a shame as I had been there many times under the previous owner and was never made to feel uncomfortable about my condition. I just hope that they went home today and noticed that the behaviour they showed was awful. It's not even about the customer being right. It's about understanding that people have allergies and different requests and as a owner of a small local cafe you would do better to be understanding not judgemental especially when you really don't understand. I will say though that what's was on the plate did look great so hopefully if you don't have health issues I think you would get a good breakfast.

We visited last Sunday early afternoon and had breakfasts. We very greeted warmly by the staff and although they were quite busy our food arrived quickly. Nothing seemed like to much trouble for the staff and the food was excellent particularly the sausages. Not just a run of the mill cafe. Very impressed and will definitely return.

I have been a few times now. The server is very friendly and the breakfasts are cooked to order. You have to be prepared for a wait though. The cakes, however, seem a little hit and miss and not much variety. I had a delicious chocolate cake recently but I have also had what looked like a victoria sponge which was very dry and tasteless. I shall return again, but might just stick to the all day breakfast

This was my second visit inside 2 months. The first was when I had time to kill before an opticians appointment one Saturday in February; so I bought a paper at a nearby newsagents and went for a mug of tea. The second visit was with my parents one Wednesday lunch time on a beautiful spring day (shame there wasn't outside seating). Between us we had the All Day Breakfast, Jacket Potato with tuna and Tuna and Sweetcorn sandwich. All were freshly cooked to order and served with a friendly welcome. Impressed that my coffee was just a good old Nescafe so no dilemma whether to have Flat White, Latte, Cappuccino or Americano. It was so good I even rounded my meal off with a second mug!

We've visited the number 50 cafe twice so far in 2017 and had lovely cooked breakfasts on both occasions. The food was fresh and the quality of the ingredients are higher than elsewhere. The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful and we'll certainly continue to visit on a regular basis. Highly recommended.

Couldn't ask for more from a tea room/cafe. Would say that they use a higher level of ingredients than others. Great lunch, great staff and very friendly atmosphere.

A great place to meet up with friends, the coffee and cake is the best. The woman who runs it is very helpful and could not be more helpful.

Visited this afternoon (Saturday 18/02/2017) as we live local and have walked past numerous times.I have to say that the carrot cake is by far the best carrot cake I have ever had. So tasty. So most. Absolutely beautiful.Very child friendly. Our little boy loved his gingerbread man and loved being able to personalise it.Little cafes like this are few and far between and we are very lucky to have this so close to our home.The menu looks great and I need to go back for the large breakfast.Very cosy. Great value. Friendly staff.Please keep up the good work and the 3 of us will be back.Thank you

Jut popped in for breakfast with my husband and grandson . There was a great welcome and food was delicious. A little gem in Duston . I would recommend to all .

Having visited Number 50 a few times now, it's absolutely delightful. The service is amazing as is the food and drink. Lovely atmosphere and always receive service with a smile! Would recommend Number 50 especially the cakes and breakfast.

I visited here recently and will definitely be returning. A wonderful welcoming and comfortable aura, lovely staff and the food was brilliant.
