Number 61 Tearooms Tynemouth in North Tyneside

We were greeted immediately by friendly waiting staff who asked if we need a high chair or help with the buggy. They showed us to a table and were really helpful and patient. The sandwiches, scones and coffees we ordered were all delicious and well-priced. The manager even came over came to check that my husband didn’t want his sandwich toasted! Such a beautiful cafe with wonderful food and staff.

Fabulous afternoon tea for birthday celebrations. Great food and wonderful staff. Would deffinatley recommend and will deffinatley be back. Great room options inc. a secluded garden and sun trap

We decided to have a family 90th birthday celebration at these lovely tearooms. We were all warmly greeted by owner Stephen and his team. The tearooms were beautifully decorated for my mums 90th birthday. The food was delicious and there was a generous amount of sandwiches, scones and cakes. Quality of food second to none and excellent value for money. First class service and beautiful surroundings. Thank you Stephen and Neil for making my mums special day and extra special one.

Best scones. Full of fruit!!!! Service excellent. Will be back soon.Husband had a bacon and egg breakfast bap. Again excellent!!! Hidden gem

We visited Tynemouth on the metro from Newcastle last weekend. Our party were all family and had travelled from London, Wales and Lincolnshire. After a very cold and blustry visit to the sea front we were all badly in need of a warm drink. We came across this tea room by accident and were very pleasantly surprised. It was both warm and welcoming, and beautifully decorated. Three of us had coffee and cake, and the other opted for the homemade soup. It all definitely hit the spot. Will certainly make a point of visiting again next time we are in Tynemouth.

Had afternoon tea for my birthday celebration. Food was delicious. Staff were polite, friendly and went above and beyond. They even put a candle in my slice of cake and sang happy birthday. Will definitely be back!

Had a lovely lunch here. We sat in the garden which is a great sun spot in the middle of Tynemouth whilst being quiet and private. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, the food is lovely and very reasonable. Couldn’t have had a better experience, worth 5 stars! Must put emphasis on the brilliant staff, all of whom were so polite and friendly, went above and beyond! Highly recommend.

A great place, and tucked away in a basement, dog friendly, cosy and welcoming, with a charm of its own.

Afternoon tea. Freshly prepared and home made - great quality. Bottomless teapot. Staff very accommodating, friendly and efficient. Great value too.

What a lovely little sanctuary away from the crowds. Great place with a unexpected soporific surprise at the back. Will definitely be returning.

4 of us stayed here overnight prior to a family funeral. The owner was very welcoming and the rooms were very clean and spacious with en suites, the beds were very comfortable and the obligatory coffee/tea making facilities were well stocked. Although on the main street, it was very quiet (we stayed mid week). Breakfast had a great choice and was well cooked. Staff were very attentive. Highly recommended.

We stayed at No 61 for 2 nights and had our breakfast in the tearoom. We were given a sheet daily to pre-order our breakfast for the following morning. There were several choices, it was always delicious and well cooked, served in what is the tea-room during the day. We were also served our choices of fruit juice, fresh fruit, cereal and yogurt.

Myself and partner have stayed before but this was the first time with our four year old, we stayed in Byron which is right at the top of the house and it was fantastic, plenty of room and a great view. Stephen gives a great overview, so much so that our four year old was disappointed he wasn't staying IN the room with us 😂. Everything you need is in the room including an iron and even a cafetiere and proper coffee, which is a nice touch. I'm very fussy about beds and these are perfect. Good quality mattresses and bedding and really nice pillows, so comfy. Shower room really clean and plenty of shampoo and shower gel available. The breakfast is lovely, quality ingredients and the coffee is very good. Service spot on, staff are lovely and our four year old loved it. Excellent value for money and perfect for a small family like us, we wouldn't stay anywhere else but book early as it is usually full! Tynemouth is gorgeous, we recommend Longsands Fish and Chips, Riley's Fish Shack, Lola Jeans, The Priory and The Surf Cafe. Plenty of great walks, we did 25k+ steps each day and our four year old did not complain at all!

This tearoom is a gem. Not only lovely freshly cooked food but fantastic customer service. Relaxed, attentive, friendly and welcoming.

Found this when visiting Tynemouth it has a lovely little patio area with lots of lovely plants a very nice atmosphere. The food was amazing and the staff very friendly. Social distancing followed. Will definitely be back, can't believe I have never noticed it before.

This was possibly the nicest most quirkiest place i have been to in a long time. Such a beautiful place and anazing garden. Although it was raining we sat inside lots of people still sat out in the rain under umbrellas. Massive choice of sandwiches and cakes. The sandwiches must bigger than usual finger sandwiches filled with delicious filling. We chose ploughmans and cheese savoury. Homemade scones packed full of fruit delicious with lots of jam and cream. Choice of any homemade cake and plenty tea and coffee. Service was brilliant. Everything clean and social distancing was spot on.

The hosts are always welcoming, the property is immaculate and the food is tasty and inexpensive. This property is a traditional B & B located on the main street and is worth a visit at any time of the year - consistently great.

Fell upon this lovely tearoom by accident. Lovely homemade food, staff and surroundings. Look forward to visiting again 😊

Quand tous les clichés sont là mais créent le charme : les théières anciennes, les carrot cakes, les napperons, le petit jardin, la cheminée ...

We stayed here for 2 nights whilst visiting friends. Rooms lovely and clean and each one very individual. Nice artwork and decor with interesting finishing touches. Very comfortable beds. Stephen and Neil are very friendly and a great hearty breakfast set us up for the day. Hotel is in a great location for the beach and the metro station is a few minutes walk away. The shops, pubs and restaurants are within walking distance too.

First the accomadation ; excellent , very clean,terrific staff and breakfast was superb. Secondly the town : the parking was right outside the accomadation,and there no need to move the vehicle untill we left. The town was delightful with numerous places to eat and drink and good seafront / clifftop walks. Our main reason for comming was to visit Rileys Fish Shack on the beach front. We visited the shack but unfortunatley decided not to wait to be served. The shack is so popular that when we arrived there was a big que and upon asking someone who was just leaving our minds were made up. The couple leaving told us that '' the food was excellent and fresh, be we qued for above an hour to get in''. We watched for a while and saw couples on seats with a prime view out to sea having finished eating just taking in the view....lord knows how long before those places became available. It does though look a fantastic place to eat, just wished I was blessed patience. We ate out at a place called The Resolution, lovely food, clean light and airey and popular.I can recommend the accomadation and would stay here again

Fantastic afternoon tea - good portions and delicious food. The service was fantastic. We will definitely be back!

Took 20 minutes to get a pot of tea which came with mugs!We requested cups and saucers.Ordered toasted tea cake and crumpets which didn't arrive together,the tea cake being cold,then told the crumpets had just been put in to toast.The excuse being two staff hadn't turned up and they were busy.To their credit we didn't get charged but we wouldn't go back again.

Popped in today for a cuppa. We were shown to the tea garden. Beautiful, quiet, sheltered spot. Had a peppermint tea (served in a lovely little teapot) with a proper mug. Can't be doing with cups and saucers! Also had a warmed cheese scone. The staff are friendly, helpful and professional and the service was great. Menu offers, breakfast options, teacakes, scones, panini, jacket potatoes, etc. Number 61 also offers bed and breakfast and a tea room (if you prefer to sit indoors). Well worth a visit a hidden gem on Tynemouth main street.

I held a surprise Hen Party for my daughter on Saturday. Stephen. Neil and all the rest of the staff were great. The attention to detail was fantastic. They were so friendly,helpful and nothing was a bother to them, they arranged all the decorations which was a great help to me.We had lovely fresh sandwiches.freshly made scones with cream and jam and plenty of different types of cakes with plenty of tea and coffee. This place is a hidden gem. Has a lovely outside seating area but didn’t use due to the weather. Thanks again to everyone and we will be back.

2nd visit to this lovely place - superb! Can’t fault service, food, ambience and the welcoming feel from the staff!

Such a lovely tea room full of chintzy charm with a modern twist. All the classic tea, coffee and cake options and simple but good breakfast menu. Best of all was the lovely warm welcome from the proprietor and his friendly staff. Nice wee garden seating area if you are visiting in the summer.

Lovely homely setting for tea and cake. Delicious Red Velvet Cake. Light and fluffy with just the right amount of frosting. Yum. Friendly and warm welcome. Thank you.

No61 is an absolute gem. Gorgeous Georgian building. All the rooms are decorated beautifully, food is absolutely lovely and the owners Stephen and Neil are warm, welcoming and very helpful. Had a lovely time there.

tea and cake to keep us going till tea time, sat outside watching the world go by, with the sun on our faces.

My family had afternoon tea at Number 61 recently and what a treat it was. Friendly, accommodating owners and staff made the visit memorable for all the right reasons. Nice food served in lovely surroundings. Well worth a visit when you are next in Tynemouth.

This cafe has an unexpected walled garden at the back.Afternoon tea out there on a summer's day is great. Food is lovely and the atmosphere is so relaxed. One of my favourite summer treats. Inside is a bit dark and cramped but I love the garden.

We went on Father’s Day and stumbled across this place. Was lovely! Really enjoyed the food, service was great and lovely surroundings!!

Ein richtiger Geheimtipp in Tynemouth.

Boyfriend brought me here as birthday treat for afternoon tea & I couldn’t fault the place it was amazing the scones were out of this world the decor is so cute & cosy, the staff are brilliant, spent some time talking to Manager he was also brilliant making sure all are needs were met with me being vegetarian I can’t wait to return for another visit!

Lovely food staff brilliant lovely surroundings would well recommend to anyone so relaxing after shopping in Tynemouth for different presents x

stayed here for a golf competition being held nearby and found the place to be perfectly situated in the "high street" with everything needed close by.

Stopped off for breakfast we sat in a lovely garden that was dog friendly, staff were very welcoming and the breakfast was gorgeous. Will definitely be back again.

My husband and I visited the tearoom with our newborn baby. The cafe has a few steps into the building and then down to the seating area. I had popped in to see if we could manage with our pushchair and one of the staff members noticed and kindly let us use the level back alley entrance. The staff were very accommodating and welcoming throughout. The food was lovely and we had a super rest in the quiet garden enjoying a little sun. Will certainly be back!

Pasamos una noche aquí después de terminar de adriano Cycleway. Es la tercera vez que me alojo aquí que refleja cómo esta casa de huéspedes es precioso. El personal es muy acogedor, amable y servicial. Las habitaciones están muy limpias y bien equipadas y el desayuno es genial. La casa de huéspedes está justo en el medio de Tynemouth muy práctico para bares y restaurantes - sin duda volveremos!

Habitaciones muy agradables y ambiente todo estaba limpísimo y tuvimos una bienvenida de primera clase. Realmente me sentí que había entrado en la casa de alguien. Hay una cafetería encantadora, que por desgracia estaba cerrada cuando llegamos, pero yo estaba buscando una soda y este fue rápidamente a mi habitación.

A gorgeous spot for drinks and snacks. The sun terrace/garden is a lovely setting and the staff are polite and friendly. The garden area is quiet and perfect for relaxing.

Metimos en un día frío blustery. Se calentó rápidamente en la parte trasera de la habitación escondido. rea

Vinimos aquí para bebidas en un sábado por la tarde porque no había otras cafetería podría servir para 6 de nosotros! El personal era muy amable y servicial, y todos disfrutamos de las bebidas. El té se sirve en tazas de porcelana vintage. La decoración...

My daughter and I popped in for lunch, it was the first time I had been and it is delightful. The decor was lovely with little shelves and a dresser filled with old cups and saucers etc. A gorgeous old kitchen range and doors into the back garden. The food was excellent and staff friendly.. we would recommend it to anyone. They also do bed and breakfast although we didn't stay

My partner have visited many times. In summer it is good to sit in the garden. The soup and sandwiches are always good as are the scones. Well worth visiting especially on a winters day. Service from a long kitchen is always good.

I very much enjoyed my stay here, Collingwood is the best room you can get for stunning views of the sea and breathtaking sunrises. Cleanliness is exceptional, comfy bed and excellent service. The location is convenient as the B&B is steps away from all the bars and restaurants. Would definitely recommend and will come back soon.

Had a lovely overnight stay at No. 61. The proprietors were very friendly and welcoming, the room had everything we needed: TV, tea-making facilities (with breakfast tea!), ensuite and very comfortable. A great choice for breakfast and the full English really hit the spot.

This cafe was a lovely quiet haven on Bank holiday on Sunday. A good selection of food and offer a gluten free options as well.

Came in here with my parents who were up visiting for the weekend. A lovely quaint little cafe of Tynemouth's busy Front Street. Tea and homemade scones were excellent. Staff very friendly and attentive. Surroundings are lovely too - love the quirky lamp which is made out of stacked tea cups! There is also a nice looking garden/patio area for when the weather is behaving itself!

Amazing cakes, scones and Drinks with great service.Clean and lovely decor through out. Can certainly recommend this establishment.

Good food with the cake in particular being not only lovely but a good portion size as well !A nice contrast to the trendy eateries all over Front Street .Recommended

Been coming here for years but it's the first time we've been since the refurbishment. We ordered jacket potato with cheese and beans, chicken, chorizo and mozzarella panini and a fruit scone with cream. Savoury food was good, just what we needed. They didn't have clotted cream for the scone (which the server told us about so we knew) but it was still good. Service was good, friendly and quick even though they were busy. Definitely recommend.

Have visited here since the 1960s and it is a tradition to go for coffee and scones on a Good Friday morning. The Cath Kitson decor is welcoming and looks so fresh. The service remains as good as ever and the scones were delicious. It was lovely to get a large cafetiere to share between us. I certainly will be back again.

No 61 has been a favourite of mine with friends and hubby for many years. The food and service remains excellent but we were very sad to see that the original charm of No61 has been replaced by something rather soulless and poor imitation Cath Kitson. Please bring the lovely tea pots back and get rid of the dog salt and pepper pots.

The tea room is a good,place to go if you want to avoid the noise and hustle and bustle of Tynemouth front street, especially on match day. It is a quiet oasis serving tea, sanwhiches and cake.

It's a while since I visited 61 Front Street - some (ahem!) 30 years or more! So it's good to see that the tea room is still charming. I stayed overnight in one of the guest rooms, and the new owners are doing a grand job in making the necessary improvements - crisp white bedlinen and fluffy white towels a bonus. And the friendly Geordie welcome is a real attraction. I wish them all the best with their new venture. PS - great breakfast, perfectly cooked!

Nice place to go for a quick lunch. Warm, welcoming service, delicious sandwich. See you again soon.

a very warm welcome great service and lovely food and pot of tea although we didnt sit outside on our visit today as it was to windy would be lovely on a nice day .

We had such a warm welcome at Number 61. We had just completed The Hadrian's Wall Trail and to have the door thrown open with no one faffing about muddy walking boots was such a joy. The B&B is very comfy and the tearoom looks delightful. Happy to recommend.

Lovely little tea room. Good value for money and a good selection of cakes and snacks on offer. We waited a while to be served but staff were friendly.

This has to be one of the quaintest café, (bed & breakfast) in Tynemouth, the food is fab. visited this café quite a lot on my walks. A great place to stay and explore the north east. They also make GLUTEN free food.

Fab little tea room, shabby chic, very clean, gorgeous little spotted tea pots and cute cosies and really friendly staff. We popped in for a snack, soup and a sandwich and a pot of tea. Great to see they offered de-caf tea and the bread and fillings were quality and generous. The soup was a homemade veggie broth that was a bowl full of health. A great little place with a gorgeous outdoor area too if the sun is shining.

My niece booked this for her birthday and there where six of us at £10 a head ..sorry but this was so not worth it the scones were bought in and the tiny frozen cakes were not what we expected as they did have home made scones and cake the sandwiches were very nice but we only had three small quarter's each not even two slices of bread..sorry we will not be booking again very disappointed.

A twee coffee room that looks like a cath kidston shop, our table was wobbly and my latte was either made with uht or horribly over/re-steamed milk. The tea was OK cake wasn't bad.I wouldn't recommend it at all of your bothered about the quality of the drinksNot a good visit

Always our go to place in Tynemouth for a light lunch. Limited choice, but reasonably priced. Can be busy though as there are only 7 tables. Easy to miss it from the street if you're walking past, so watch out for their sandwich board.

nice environment to eat. toasty ultra thin for 4.50.not much side salad but tasty enough. soup hot in places luke warm in others as it had been in microwave. all in all average

Visiting Tynemouth and looking for somewhere to have afternoon tea as we made our way to the sea .Nearly walked past ,so glad we didnt .Made very welcome ,sat outside in the small garden.Reasonably priced, varied selection.Quickly served and then never hurried.What ever we saw other people having all looked delicious.A delightful introduction to our visit and would go back any time .If you are walking past......go in ,you will be pleased you did .

We meet with old friends every 2-3 months for morning coffee and scones at Number 61. It's where we held a mutual friend's wake after his funeral. He loved it here, and quite right too. Unlike some reviewers, we have always been made to feel welcome and the service has been good. The cheese scones are always a delight. The main tea room isn't the biggest, so it can get busy, but if you pick your time carefully, it'll be okay. Well worth checking out.

It's quaint and friendly. Cakes and scones are good and the garden out the back is particularly good on a sunny day. We always end up popping in here on a trip to tynemouth. Nice.

Goodness knows why this cute, friendly gem of a restaurant doesn't rate higher. Staff were friendly and helpful, quick service and cakes to die for. The coffee n walnut and Victoria sandwich were awesome, the carrot cake n choccy tiffin were yum. All served with tea cosy-covered big pot of tea in a leafy courtyard, perfect! And just a short stroll from the beautiful Tynemouth castle & beach in one direction and the metro in the other. Highly recommended. And I KNOW good cake.....

I've never left a comment on trip advisor, but feel so insesenced by my experience I've had to leave a comment. After a lovely day on the beach, me and my 3 year old thought we would have a nice cup of tea. Having originally planned to go to the vintage cafe in the land of green ginger, (as we've been before and the service was second to non), we thought we would give this place a go as we had never been before and my daughter loves having tea from a tea pot with cups and saucers, I thought this would be a proper tea room experience for her and it had a garden area were we could sit. After entering the garden we sat down and waited for service. A young girl walked passed us looked over saying nothing and took some dishes from some other customers that later left, thinking she was coming back we waited, and waited and waited. In the end we left as it was taking far too long, ( I wouldn't mind if it was packed, we were the only customers there) as I left I said to my daughter we were leaving as the people there were very rude. This was loud enough for the staff to hear me, no one apologised they just let us walk out. I don't know if they think the establishment should only be for adults or if they are actually that rude!! Either way they won't get my business and I'm will be sure to tell everyone about the experience and lack of customer service. Truly terrible.

A very quaint, cozy tearoom with a great fire in the winter and a lovely walled garden for the summer months.Food very good including an excellent breakast - well cooked in an extremely clean, well kept kitchen.Well done 61, can definitely recommend you!

Whilst Front Street and its cafes with outdoor seating were heaving and the roads were chock-full with drivers desperately searching for non-existent parking spaces on this unusually warm Sunday morning, empty seats were at a premium so Number 61 with its walled garden was tried out and what a most pleasant place it turned out to be.The tinkling water fountain added to the peaceful ambience of this enclosed garden far from the noise and bustle of the street. There were a few empty tables in the sunshine - great! Service was quick and fuss-free. Although the coffee was very ordinary it was competitively priced at £1.75 with a refill included.Word must have spread that here was a nice place to be as both the garden and dining room filled up while we were there.We'll come again...

I very regularly visit number 61 with various family and friends. I must say it is by far the best place to go when looking for somewhere to relax, sit and watch the world go by, catch up with the girls, have a quick bite to eat or a gorgeous afternoon tea with friends. The staff are fabulous and make you feel entirely at home. This is easily my favourite place to go of a weekend. Id recommend it to all... great portion sizes, excellent customer service, tasty dishes and very friendly staff. Thank you number 61 #homefromhome

Didn't use the tea rooms but have stayed there. Great views of the Tyne from the rooms at the back. Good breakfast, perhaps a little over priced.

I'm a fan of traditional tea rooms so called in here one Sunday afternoon. Sat in the quaint walled garden and ordered two teas. Teapot arrived with tea cosy and two cups one of which was cracked, and saucers. Tea tasted very weak so checked teapot and only one teabag contained within pot for two. Finished the tea and I approached the proprietor(?) (middle aged lady with dark hair) with payment and mentioned the weak tea and one teabag (instead of two for two people). Indignant, she announced "that was a mistake!", "I'll charge you for one". No apology was offered and irritation at the complaint, clear by facial expression and attitude. One essential customer service rule; if a concern is raised and justified, it should be accepted graciously and apology offered. Such rudeness in a tearoom, usually a place of civility, is most unattractive. Tynemouth is full of places to eat and drink. I recommend taking your business elsewhere.

Whilst visiting the area for the weekend we decided to pop into No.61 for Sunday morning breakfast.We found the food to be excellent,although we had to wait a bit longer than anticipated to be served when it arrived it was worth the wait.The staff were very pleasantness helpful and would call in again on another visit to the area

There were 3 of us in Tynemouth for breakfast and I recalled this eatery from a previously pleasant visit around 2 years ago. I understand that this establishment is primarily a B&B who open the dining room to non guests for food. 3 full English breakfasts and 3 coffees were ordered. I noticed that there was only 1 member of staff in attendance who waited as well as cooked the food. Coffees arrived quickly (a cafetiere for 1 and 2 Americanos) and were warmly received. The waitress/cook also handed us a couple of papers to read. This was maybe prophetic as we waited a full 20 mins for our hot breakfast to arrive. We were in no rush at all but we did remark to each other about the wait so it was clearly a bit too long. The breakfast was very good. Quality sausage, one slice of bacon, tinned toms, a beautifully cooked slice of black pud and a wonderfully presented fried egg. You also get a slice of toast. The price is £6. The breakfast is supposed to come with mushrooms too (I was not aware of that until one of the group mentioned it later on after we'd eaten). The waitress offered no mitigation for the AWOL fungi which was possibly an oversight, although she did give us an extra coffee each which never featured on our bill so we were not at all upset and speculated that maybe she had run out, forgot or was a bit busy as she was on her own. The breakfast was actually very good. Good produce cooked well. I personally would have preferred an extra bacon and slice of toast in the package but that's me. I wasn't left hungry but felt the breakfast would be much improved by this relatively cheap but significant change. I was impressed by the food, the decor and the waitress/Cook was very polite and accommodating but she would have benefitted by an extra pair of hands. The three of us enjoyed our food and coffee and all agreed we would return which says it all really.

Visited in the autumn. Nice warming home made soup. The problem was with the service, they had tea room customers in the guest house lounge too and the staff were stretched thin. A request for more coffee was ignored, and no one could be attracted to take a dessert order, so we had desserts elsewhere. What we did have was nice though, and we have been before. Will be nice if you can catch it at a quieter time.

Have some very happy memories as a child with mother and grandmother visiting here for morning coffee or afternoon tea.Not as chintzy/cottagey as I remembered, which was rather disappointing, but friendly/nice service, limited but adequate menu for a coffee, light snack or afternoon tea - the cakes looked yummy!!!

We held an after funeral reception at No61. For a small funeral this was a perfect venue with excellent service and top notch catering for a most reasonable price. They even provided super gluten free food for my daughter. Barbara couldn't have been more helpful from beginning to end and it was a stressless, relaxing climax to a difficult day. Would thoroughly recommend.

Every time I visit this old fashioned tea room I come away well satisfied. It has a cosy atmosphere, with friendly efficient staff. The outdoor seating is especially attractive when the weather permits. The hand knitted tea cosies are sold for charity.No.61 also does Bed & Breakfast, but I've never had occasion to stay there.

Having visited the market at the station we had a stroll down to the front, and decided to pop in here for a drink. A very pleasant waitress took our order, just coffee/tea, scones and tea cake. All were excellent, and I think the scones were home made. Other tables were having sandwiches, which looked very nice - made me wish I'd had one.Definitely a place for a quick bite if you're in Tynemouth.

Lovely tea room with a real fire and a garden for the summer. Amazing that they cater for gluten free in their brekfasts and their gluten free scones were very nice!

Came with quite a large party of women. The sandwiches and homemade cakes were lovely but very poor portions. The staff were friendly but and left us to fend for ourselves, but we left feeling hungry, as on previous occaisions at other tea rooms we could not eat all that was on offered.

You must try No.61 Tearooms if you are visiting Tynemouth. Its a lovely old fashioned tea room with gorgeous homemade cakes and scones. Very friendly staff too.
