Oasis Coffee Shop in Northumberland

You may call it a bun, a roll, a barm, a bap or whatever you want. The one thing you can say is that in this little cafe they're freshly made and have high quality bacon and sausages. Quite possibly one of the best and most filling I've ever had in a cafe. It was also reasonably priced for a tourist destination.

Came here for a quick drink and cake. I enjoyed a tea and Bakewell blondie. The cake was okay, not extraordinary or memorable, but good enough. The prices were really reasonable. Lots of lovely outdoor seating, we enjoyed feeding the little swallows who came onto the table.

Visited here twice whilst exploring Lindisfarne, the coffee was lovely and my peach ice cream was a delicious new flavour that I had never tried before. Sitting outside made you feel a part of something special.

I ordered a flat white and my partner ordered a hot chocolate. We also had tiffin and a peice of carrot cake. Drinks were tasteless and awful. The cakes were freezing cold and dry! Only good part was the ladies working were lovley

2nd visit to the Holy Island this year and 1st time here. Got 2 coffees and 2 cake and bit pricey. Coffee was hot but not very tasty and cake was cold and similar! Bit disappointing as the cafe itself looked appealing and the staff were very nice. If visiting the Island again think we will give it a miss. Sorry to be so negative but def need to up your game a bit at the prices you charge.

Coffee is pretty disgusting, dishwater. Staff are friendly. Food OK , breakfast edible but not great. Much better options on Holy Island either First Class Food just a few metres down the road next to Post Office or Pilgrims Coffee. Only go here it is the only option open!

Great coffee but very dry cake, thought it would be ok as it was the first piece but unable to eat. Not impressed with everything being in takeout containers even though we were eating in.

Wonderful home baked strawberry tart but the lemon cake was inedible. Last slice available and had obviously been sitting for ages. Should not have been sold.

Ich habe Postkarten gekauft und wollte Marken dazu kaufen, die nur bei der Post nebenan verfügbar waren. Post war geschlossen und die Besitzerin bot mir an, die Karten in ihrem Kaffee zu schreiben und sie würde die Karte dann für mich versenden. Extrem freundlich, das ganze Personal, ich war überwältigt.

very disappointed from the moment we walked in. The girl who served us really didn't want to be there. Coffee was pretty poor tea OK. I felt £4 for a tea cake was over priced so didn't have anything. We sat outside &considering they hadn't been opened that long the bins were overflowing. It looked very tatty. Inside looked okay.

We popped in for a light lunch and ordered the reliable toastie! And my, they were delicious! I think they use a secret ingredient!!! Cafe itself a bit bare, and when we asked for some tap water the glasses were very teeny which is why I knocked off a star. But a great place to grab something if you’re on the island.

Stopped here as it was convenient on our route around town. Serves light bites, ice creams and hot and cold drinks. Seating outside; the table les are massive picnic benches, which are great if you’re in a big group, but if it is just a couple of you then you’re likely to need to share the table.

It is the first "food place" on the way from the parking place, so it is usually very busy. We stopped there for some hot drinks and sweet snacks - they were OK but no better than that.

Ok, so it may not be an NT teashop but we had 2 decent cappuccinos, two very nice tea cakes with six butters and 2 pots of jam between us, and we still came away with change from a tenner. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend as good value for money and the sparrows waiting for our crumbs in the garden was entertaining!

We had a lovely lunch here and liked all the little birds in the garden. I would not hesitate to return.

We visited for a sandwich lunch and coffee. We were pleased to be able to take the dogs inside. Prices were reasonable and service speedy.

This cafe is situated between the main car park and the sights on Lindisfarne and it's location is the only reason it is busy. The sandwiches that we had here were passable but the drinks were really ropey and none of the crockery or cutlery looked like you would want to use it. One of us had a latte which was just warm milk, there did not seem to have been any effort to add coffee. The decor is old and tired, the staff look like they hate their jobs and the lighting reminded me of a working mens club. This place could be a gold mine given its location but there is work to be done.

Today we visited holy island it was very wet and very windy but dispite that we enjoyed it. It was very very cold so decided to take our 3 year old in for a warming hot chocolate as you walked up to the counter you were met by 2 very unhappy looking people who looked like they really didn't want to be there. I order a white coffee a hot chocolate and asked if they did a small hot chocolate for children the person behind the counter seemed most put out that I had asked this question she told me no they only do 1 size. I took the drinks back to our table I have to say they were the worst drinks I have ever paid for. The coffee was just basically a brown Grey hot water mix and the hot chocolate was just a brown hot water nether had ant taste. I kinda felt that they really didn't care and maybe they are in the rong trade

Barn of a place with no atmosphere. Fortunately we were only looking for a hot drink rather than lunch. The place did not seem overly clean and the staff were disinterested. Very short pit stop. Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

A pleasant cafe. Offering hot and cold snacks and drinks. Has a small souvenir shop included. The staff are welcoming

Popped in for a quick cuppa to warm us up. Lovely tea and cakes and a nice little gift shop with good prices on the watercolours.

A friendly welcome was provided. Good coffee and cakes. Small gift shop inside. Good cakes. Old island photos on walls.

Lovely freshly made sandwiches and cakes. Good pot of tea and the staff were very pleasant. Outdoor seating and inside seating available.

Worst coffee we've ever had. Luke warm, bitter. Sandwich just about ok.Unwelcoming and obviously not bothered about the customers having a good experience - why worry when most of us are day visitors and choices on the island are very limited !I have never written a bad review on Tripadvisor as there is usually something redeeming about a place....well ther's always a first time.Why run a cafe if you don't like people or food ? Northumberland is famed for it's hopsitality, good food and service but this cafe lets it down.

This is a small coffee shop that offers a range of cakes and sandwiches. The sandwiches were fairly basic, but looked edible. The coffee was good as was the short bread.

There is no point doing reviews, if you are not honest. The coffee was grim. It didn’t taste of coffee, more like UHT hot milk. The staff were miserable and unfriendly. The layout of the tables and seating and the style of them, looked like...

It looked nice, so we went in for a coffee and some breakfast. This was the most disgusting cooked breakfast we have ever eaten in our lives. I never thought the one we had In Swanage could get worse, but this one was. Cooked by...

We possibly got a bad day here, but it left a taint on what was a great day out in Lindisfarne. We stopped here for refreshment after completing the circular island walk and visiting the priory before leaving the island. In summary; glum, monosyllabic service...

We had drinks and toast here and enjoyed them. The staff were polite and efficient.. we really liked the gift shop at the front which was reasonably priced with a good selection

A nice enough cafe with good outside space. We popped in to raid the ice cream freezer and have some calories before continuing to explore the island.

We went in here for lunch. Good selection of sandwich's including a local crab sourced sandwich which I thoroughly enjoyed with a pot of tea. Other sandwich's included cheese and tomato and tuna. Plenty of tables to sit both inside and out. Nothing too fancy...

On seeing that most things in the Pilgrims Coffee shop were unavailable during lunch time, we made our way to this place. With some lovely paraphernalia on the walls of the cafe, this place offers sandwiches, paninis, soups, jacket potatoes and the likes in a...

Managed to get a table, had sandwiches which were very nice, the pot of tea was also very nice and the prices very reasonable considering the prices in some other cafes.

Six friends had eaten here on our last visit to the Holy Island and really enjoyed our meal, so it was a real 'no brainer' where to choose to eat on a return visit to the island. We were not disappointed as the food and...

Haven’t been here before and was pleasantly surprised how lovely it was we sat outside as the weather was lovely.We had to sign in with contact number for Covid and hand sanitizer so we felt safe eating here.We had coffees and tea one of us...

Friendly enough staff but we both had the breakfast as we’d gone across early, honestly it was horrid. Warmed up tinned mushrooms, half a barely ripe let alone barely cooked tomato, re heated bacon and two of the cheapest sausages with beans egg and toast, we ate the beans egg and toast just to fuel up and left. Such a shame

Stopped here for a snack and brew. perfectly acceptable if a bit 1970's in the interior! The bacon sandwich was fatty and anaemic, but bread fresh and tea good.

Visited for the first time in a few years and my memory served me well. They still do a terrific bacon sandwich!

After a devoting some time walking around the castle, had a brief stopover and brunch here. Hand sanitizers are plenty and tables inside the restaurant aren't crowded.

Arrived on a very busy day, called at a cafe by the car park and was faced with looking online for a menu due to Covid but had no social distanced tables inside. Walked a bit further and found this cafe, lovely tables outside - one way system inside to counter and friendly staff. Very reasonably priced too - ordered sausage bap, sausage and egg bap, bacon and egg bap, 2 cappuccino coffees and a glass of water all for less than £18. Highly recommend and will return.

Found wife and teenagers sitting here as we walked back from the priory. Cake was amazing - mum took half the rocky road it was so good. Millionaire shortbread was excellent. Good coffee. Everyone else enjoyed ice cream. V cheeky sparrows hopping around close by looking for crumbs. Lovely on a sunny day !

We visited today and I was a little disappointed. We chose it as it looked nice from the outside, also it had nice seating outside. The shop inside was good, selling some cute bits.I ordered sandwiches and toasties, the food was average. The toasties was thin white bread, sausages were cheap tasting.. they could do so much more. Having eaten at other places where you get chunky white bread, it makes a world of difference. It could just be my personal preference though. Service was ok, lots of young girls, not overall friendly or welcoming. I wouldn't go back im afraid.

Very friendly and clean place for coffee and snack. Extremely pleasant place and would recommend to anyone visiting to call in.

There was a review last month about Horlicks. I wish I had read that review as I wouldn’t have made the same mistake... truly a dire error of judgement! AVOID it- however cold the weather or desperate your desire to relive a moment of your younger self. Otherwise- the men’s loos were fine. Not sure about the women’s...

We ordered a cup of Horlicks (as it was a cold winter day) and got an insipid weak foul looking cup, one spoon of Horlicks powder and water added. YUK! Packaged flapjacks were good but the Horlicks, well theonly positive thing was it was hottish!

Stopped here for coffee. The cake was ok, coffees hot and staff friendly. It did what it said on the tin but did not exceed expectations.

I ordered “fresh local crab sandwich and chips”.The sandwich was in a plastic container straight from the display counter. If I am paying £4.25 for a sandwich I would expect a little more than two slices of flimsy cheap brown bread (no choice of white or brown). In current climate and location really wouldn’t have thought presenting sandwich in an unnecessary plastic box as I told them I was sitting inside.Chips were American style thin fries if you like that. The girls that worked there obviously not happy minimum wage etc. Not the best place on the island but charging premium prices.

Excellent panini, cooked to order and looks like it would be very popular with families. We were here at the end of the season so it was considerably quieter. We were made to feel very welcome. There is a small shop in the cafe offering a small selection of souvenirs.

My first note of guidance will be to check the tide times so that you don't get stuck on Holy Island before you stop at this lovely cafe.We were there on a rainy day and took refuge to have a warm drink and a warm. We had coffee priced at £1.60 which is quite reasonable. There were 4 members of staff dressed in black trousers and red sweatshirts plus a check pinny and service was prompt. On sale in this cafe were a sone small gifts plus the cafe menu which included hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, soups, baked potatoes, cakes and salad. On the walls were memorabilia .... plates, cricket bats and pictures.The cafe seats about 40 people.

One of the first places on the way into the town from the car park, it is half cafe and half gift shop and can't seem to make up its mind which it wants to be. The coffee was passable but the food cakes and sanwiches were not presented in a way which would tempt you to buy one. As it was fine weather, we sat outside but, at times, it was very reminiscent of Hitchcock's "The Birds", as other people with food were continuing shooing off the sparrows.

We called in to look at the gifty type stuff in the attached shop and were very glad we had decided not to eat here. It smelled like a very strange mixture of food and sweaty body odour!!

Nice cafe on the walk up to the abbey..Quite an old fashioned cafe, but very reasonable prices and friendly staff....Cakes looked nice but didn't purchase any of them.Kinda half shop half cafe.... But I suppose to be expected in such a touristy place....Was nice weather so we sat outside. Large family of sparrows in the garden which were so tame you could feed them by hand.....

I think I went to the wrong cafe.

On the road from the big car park to the village we stopped at this nice cafe on s sunny but windy Saturday afternoon. Nice place, we sat outside enjoying the cappuccino and the muffin. Good sweets, a wee souvenir shop inside. The staff is ok, always quite busy. It was lovely to chat with the lady who was cleaning the tables. A good place for a siesta.

The latte, from a machine, was utterly disgusting even at their second attempt. Looked and tasted like dishwater. Revolting!!

Coffee and a blueberry muffin at average prices, coffee ok, cant say much more really. Oh yes I can, some really interesting photos and prints on the walls

We had tried a few of the other cafés but they were all full so had to use this one. It is a large Self Service café with island memorabilia all around the walls.

We had some lunch here. I had a baked potato and my wife beans on taste, the food was fine but maybe a wee bit expensive. The best thing about this place was the staff, friendly local people with a wealth of interesting and anecdotal knowledge of the island.

Visited this coffee shop / sandwich bar during a few hours over to Holy Island from Wooler, Northumberland.

More like a road side cafe serving cheap food at expensive rates! Ordered 2 bacon sandwiches,1 sausage and bacon sandwich- came swimming in oil and looked as if it had been swept up from a butcher's floor. And as for the sausage they were grey and tasteless. Cup of tea was like dish water not a pleasant experience especially for the price!

Good place for cakes and scones. Brother-in-law enjoyed his all day breakfast at 3 in the afternoon!

This place is handy for the car park and excellent for snacks. It closes when the causeway closes. It's very handy for the car park. Well behaved dogs on a lead are welcome.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat before leaving the island to beat the tide. Had bacon and sausage/egg sandwiches with tea and coffee. All arrived quickly and were very tasty. Overall good value for money.

A lovely little place, and the birds are friendly too, they eat out of your hands. Was on the way to the Castle, so you walk right past it.

I went to oasis, placed an order for two toasted sandwiches. I was told they were busy and it would be about half an hour. I accepted this.

very warm welcome with great choice of food for everyone's tastes.we had the full English with toast and butter portions much better than margerine.tea in a tea pot with extra water ,delightfull has you have the choice of strenth of flavor .

My cousins came to visit and one of the places we went to was Oasis. I just had a cup of tea which was lovely and I went back later in the week and bought sweets to bring home.

A quick pit stop for hot chocolate and flapjack- nothing special, average price. Staff were friendly.

After walking from the car park before the village, we stopped here for lunch before our walk. After selecting and paying for our sandwiches and drinks, we opted to sit outside in the sun. A busy cafe and gift shop, plenty of customers for food, drinks and gifts entered and left. Just be on the carful watch for the sparrows - they love any food you have spare, and for one couple sat next to us, not spare as one cheeky bird flew off with a crisp off a plate! Nice sandwich, reasonably priced and a good cuppa!

Nearly at our Berwick destination of 180 miles we detoured to Lindisfarne to maximise our visit this afternoon before Hurricane Ali's full force tomorrow. Having safely crossed on the still ebbing tide we quickly descended on the Oasis Café just 300 yards from the main car park. There was ample outdoor seating which was reasonably occupied but maybe another day! We wandered through the bright, well appointed gift shopping entrance area before taking our seats for a lovely cake and steaming coffees. The pleasant/affable staff were quick to serve us and we had time to have a look at the old photographs of local life and other maritime memorabilia which helped us to imagine days gone by on this truly unique historical tidal island. The café has gents/ladies toilets and ample seating/tables with very fair prices for their good variety of small snacks and confectionaries. Another 300 yards takes you to the ancient Priory and thence to the Castle and nearby walled garden - once the old garrison's vegetable plot but redesigned by the famous Gertrude Jekyll. A very good choice for a place to eat.

Popped in for drinks and cakes before going to see the sights but wish we hadn't bothered. Tea was fine, coffee came out a press a button machine which was drinkable but nothing to get excited about. We ordered 3 different types of cake and they ranged from awful to could do a lot better. The bakewell tart - icing you could break a tooth on, thick pastry with a tiny bit of jam with no taste at all! Left it on my plate as it was inedible. Eccles cake was similarly awful. The cakes cost £1.95 each which would be reasonable if we had eaten them! The sparrows were a delight and the redeeming feature of this visit resulting in 2 stars instead of 1.

Service is prompt and polite but the food served isn't great. I had some indifferent shortbread; my friend had a tasteless latte, and a toasted panini with bland cheese and watery tomatoes, and a dire salad. For refuelling only.

Passed by this place. It was beautiful days so thought we would sit in their garden. Food was good. Tea was nice and the staff were friendly. What else could you ask for? Highly recommend.

Having visited Lindesfarne Priory I was looking for somewhere to eat lunch with my children before heading back off the island. There were a few places to choose from but we opted for the Oasis cafe as it looked cheap and cheerful and I expected service to be quicker than in a pub.

Breakfast, brunch, lunch or just a drink. This café offers plenty of choice, seating and value for money. Staff were friendly and helpful and we had three different things with drinks all enjoyable. We would visit again.

Had a cappuccino... Watery, did not taste of coffee at all. Wife sensibly took a rhubarb fruit juice in a glass jar.

This is a lovely little cafe as you walk from the main car park into the town. They have a good menu and staff are very friendly.

The Oasis serve great crab Sandwiches and the coffee is excellent. I ate in the garden on a beautiful sunny day and was instantly surrounded by cheeky sparrows hoping for scraps! Very friendly staff and a nice selection of postcards.

Stopped here for lunch. Friendly staff and very reasonably priced. Had lovely jacket potato with salad, tasted delicious. Plenty of seating indoor and outside. Small gift area at front of cafe. Overall an enjoyable lunch and would recommend

Basic cafe fare at a reasonable price with seating inside and out. There is a small gift shop attached but we paid no attention to that.

Stopped in this lovely little restaurant today with my husband. We were looking for a quick bite after we finished the castle visit. We ordered the ham and cheese sandwich and a raisin scone. The sandwich was fresh and very tasty and the scone was mediocre. Staff were fast and very friendly. Place appeared clean. I recommend.

While spending a very warm day exploring Holy Island we chose to stop here for a bite of lunch.

When you arrive on Holy Island do not make the mistake of going into this cafe, which is the first one you come to. We ordered fruit scones and they were inedible, stodgy and tasteless, obviously bought in, not home made, as were their sandwiches and cakes.

Have eaten here and had takeaway sandwiches and never been disappointed with anything. Great for a snack or lunch and weather permitting, great to sit outside too. Will be back again soon with friends next week.

Probably the first port of call for visitors arriving on the island, tides permitting of course! Lovely to sit outside, especially when you have a dog and bowls of water are provided for them. Anything we ate or drank there was all very tasty, pleasant staff. The birds in the gardens doi a first class of clearing up the crumbs!

Had toasted sandwich which was very nice. Seats outside in spacious grounds. Friendly birds after our crumbs.

Arrived on Holy Island on what must have been the warmest day of the year so far, first stop for coffee after parking up. Sat outside in the sun, coffee was very nice, cheese scone was tasteless and very dry.

Stopped off here to have a bite to eat. Staff were just lovely and we were lucky that we arrived before it started to get busy. Very decent pot of tea and a delicious bacon sandwich were very well received.

Popped in here for a coffee before we went on our walk around the island. Pretty decently priced when you compare to places like Costa and Starbucks. The coffee was delicious.

We stopped off here after parking the car for a quick bite to eat and drink. The staff were friendly and served everything quickly in a building that I would describe as functional. This is an unusual place in that the walls are festooned with eclectic memorabilia reflecting life on Lindisfarne over the years. It's worthwhile spending a few moments looking more closely at some of these exhibits and reading the stories if you are interested in local history.

Good quality food at very reasonable price considering the location. Friendly and helpful staff. Toasties and paninis are recommended

Stopped off after parking and heading to the priory on Holy Isle as it had started to rain Had coffees / tea and scones / cake Everything was nice Ladies toilets were adequate Boys said the gents could do with a bit of tlc

What a curious place. Interesting attractive decorations on walls - antique ploughs and various old garden and farming equipment, tools, etc. The furniture, however, is more canteen style. Nice fruit scone and coffee from staff who would rather be on their way home. There is also a gift shop, with attractive items. We bought a model of Nelson's flagship, Victory, for £49.50. The staff could not find its box, and wrapped it in bubble-wrap, and handed it to us in a dustbin bag. I'll say no more.

Called in for coffee after a walk to the castle on a breezy morning .the friendly staff were welcoming and the cakes value for money. Interesting displays in the wall, would recommend

Everything here was excellent. Great service, lovely staff, great food and great choice too. HIGHLY recommended.

Called in for a coffee on arrival and after a good wander around the village we called in again on...

All u need good price food nice drinks clean everywhere in side and out friendly helpful staff nice and dogs...

Delicious food, speedy service and good toilets. (some of the public toilets on the island are not so good). Food...

Ok for a coffee but would not recommend lunch. They got our order wrong and the cheese toastie was dry to the point of being inedible.

If its coffee shop intimacy, or fine dining....forget it! Its a cafe cum canteen with high volume of customers and those come in gluts due to tidal patterns and coach parties disgorging visitors...
