Olivers Cafe Bistro in Newcastle upon Tyne - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A real pleasure to use. Friendly helpful staff. Quick service and hvery hot food served. Reasonable prices plus wheelchair friendly.

Change the beans and this would be a 5 all day long. Went for a walk round the market to have a coffee and found this little place. Saw the food coming out and it looked nice so decided to have a breakfast. It's not the best I've ever had, and the beans were poor, but other than that, that was a nice breakfast. Was told everything was cooked fresh and it looked it too. Coffee was really nice too. Overall, I would definitely go back again, but I won't have the beans next time. Would recommend.

On our visit to Newcastle we had a lunch here. Great atmosphere and excellent service. The young lady who took our order was very friendly and a pleasure to talk to, brilliant sense of humour. The food was reasonably priced and very good.

Had long weekend in Newcastle & came here twice for breakfast. Lovely cafe with great staff. So friendly & accommodating. Prices are good. Coffee is strong. Portions are big. What more could you possibly want?

Had to have a second breakfast after walking past this cafe in the market. I like how family it feels. The breakfast platter was definitely good. Love how my eggs were done. Coffee was freshly brewed too.

Amazing food, went for Nothumbrian breakfast as they were out of Irish. Very reasonably priced, grateful quality any piping hot. Only downside is fried eggs were a little well done. Will definitely return.

We have been visting the Grainger market quite frequently recently and like to support small local businesses if we can. We have been to Olivers a couple of times and had no problems, service has been prompt and i love their peach melbas! Unfortunately today was a different story. It was busy, but no busier than other days when weve visited. Found a seat and waited to be served. Started looking around after awhile and noticed a man who arrived after us had already been served and had his coffee in front of him. I asked a lady who was bringing food to another table if we could order coffees. She said the other lady was coming round with the ipad to take orders. The said lady came out and proceeded to take orders from numerous tables close to the servery and although we tried to attract her attention she didnt bother coming up to the other end of the seating area and went back to the doorway and stood chatting to the other staff. Needless to say we informed her we were leaving and sadly wont be back.

A great market cafe - the food and drinks were fine although the service a little on the slow side - but we would return

Plumped for the Irish Breakfast. Nothing too much trouble. All cooked fresh. Staff polite and friendly. Would definitely recommend. Better than what was offered in the hotel.

Second time we have been here. Did not disappoint. Excellent breakfast. Excellent coffee. Quick service. Thank you.

Went here today with my mam and can honestly say the staff are the most friendly people in the market, they go above and beyond to make you feel like a valued customer and their soup isn’t too bad either 😉cannot fault the place and will definitely be back. Good quality and value for money.

The staff are very warm and welcoming. Lovely to see people support the local ventures, in the heard of Grainger Market.

Had a wonderful breakfast at just over a fiver each. All served really hot and washed down with three cups of tea out of our pot with extra water. Could see my face in the cutlery Service great and would definitely come again, maybe when it's warmer.

We ordered two vegetable paninis, one large cappuccino and a Diet Coke which came to £15.55. The panini barely contained any vegetables, and came with a lack lustre side salad and crisps. The side salad was lettuce with Barry any colour, and a quarter of a single salad tomato. It did come with a sachet of salad cream and mayonnaise though. The coffee was very nice though, and service was relatively quick but the food really wasn’t worth the price. I don’t think the amount of veg and salad would count as one portion of veg.

Quaint little cafe in the centre of Grainger Street market. Really tasty food and very generous portions. Waiting staff were excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Me and the teenage son ate here today. Nice staff, great quality of food. Tremendous value for money. Will definitely be back on next trip to Toon.

Went for a snack lunch. Couldn't decide between toasties, jacket potatoes, a sarnie or bacon roll! We had jacket potato with chilli which came with coleslaw and a side salad and a bacon roll. Pot of tea was nice as was the reasonably priced filter coffee. Quite a few tables even though the Grainger market is being renovated. Service was gòod, at the table and payment was before the food arrived.

An oasis in the market. Had pot of tea and sandwiches both were very good. Service was quick and staff friendly, price was very reasonable.

we had scones with cream and strawberry jam,the best we have had anywhere,.nice pot of tea,friendly staff, plus smiles. thankyou.

We visited for lunch and we all had something different. The menu has a good selection and the prices are reasonable. The food came quickly and was good - simple but tasty. Good sized portions. It was pretty cold sitting there though, so something to be aware of that you might want to wear your jacket when you eat!

Visité a Olivers por recomendación de un local que se mudó al sur y quería un buen desayuno abundante para prepararnos para una jornada de puertas abiertas en la universidad.Elegimos un desayuno Northumbria que era enorme, sabroso y con una excelente relación calidad-precio. El café también es bueno.Olivers está dentro de Grainger Market, así que fue un poco genial ya que estuvimos allí temprano, pero eso no nos molestó.Volveremos si visitamos Newcastle nuevamente.

Prima eten en drinken tegen een zeer redelijke prijs. Vriendelijke, enthousiaste bediening. Wel zelf bestellen en afrekenen. Een ongedwongen locatie in het gezellige Grainger Market in Newcastle.

I ordered breakfast, too many beans and mushrooms but the sausage and bacon were superb. The elf on duty provided the best table service I have ever encountered in the market. Excellent staff with fabulous customer service. A real asset to your team and business.

Stopped off here whilst wandering around the market. Staff were friendly and food good. It was good value and that's why it's a busy place.

I have been a regular visitor to Oliver's Cafe Bistro in the Grainger Market for a few years and enjoy the bustling location in the middle of the listed market in Newcastle. The all day breakfast is very good and the service is friendly and efficient. The reasonable prices and central location make it a convenient and characterful brunch venue.

No better way to start a day than to eat an Oliver’s Breakfast. A full on full English with the treat of fried bread !! which we hadn’t had for ages. This was a plentiful good quality breakfast which represented excellent value for money. Will definitely be back for a return visit.

Visited for breakfast. Friendly device and good value. Perfect start to the day. Would highly recommend.

Food excellent, service average when busy but don't have to wait too long, lots to choose from and plenty of variety

We have visited here several times before and the food has been good. However, on this visit my wife had an egg & tomato sandwich which was very lacklustre and bland and served with a very tasteless salad.

I was in Newcastle early, and fancied a traditional breakfast. Having wandered all over, I had just about given up hope, found Oliver's. Great value for money. Filling breakfast and great coffee. Would definitely come back

Mi hija y yo estábamos en el mercado de Grainger y ella nos sugirió buscar un lugar para comer. Nos topamos con Oliver's Bistro y nos alegramos de haberlo hecho. Ambos pedimos el jamón y el caldo de verduras y mi hija también pidió un sándwich de jamón y col. Mi caldo vino con tres rebanadas de pan de granero hecho en casa con mantequilla. Había grandes trozos de jamón en el caldo que estaba muy caliente y decididamente delicioso.

Great food, good value for money the portions are huge. Accessible for a wheelchair. Can’t go wrong.

Acababa de malicioso en Oliver con el esposo. Ha estado entusiasmado con su desayuno irlandés desde el día de Paddy, así que finalmente decidí que necesitaba probarlo.

Sáltate las cadenas nacionales de cafés del centro de la ciudad y prueba aquí. Bonita zona de estar con calefacción donde podrá disfrutar de la actividad y el carácter de este mercado interior del siglo XIX. Disfrutamos de un sándwich de tocino y salchicha servido con té y todo a precios muy razonables. El personal también es muy agradable y atento. Sin duda volveremos y lo recomendaremos.

We have been to Olivers Cafe twice now and thoroughly enjoyed both visits. The staff are lovely and the food is nice and tasty. I love the atmoshpere as you can sit and watch all the goings on in the markets.

Been here loads of times, the food is pretty good the staff are really bonkers which is a good thing would like them to know how much they cheer people up and make me laugh apart from Page who is a pain haha only joking

Pasó a pasar a Oliver mientras buscaba un café para desayunar y nos alegramos de haberlo hecho. El importante desayuno cocinado, incluido el té, llegó a poco más de 9, lo cual es muy bueno si lo comparas con los 3 que pagué por una taza de café muy común en una cafetería más moderna. No tomaría en cuenta las críticas de los detractores sobre la falta de un servicio amigable (falso, por cierto) o los ingredientes no a sus estándares extremadamente altos. Este es un café sin complicaciones, sin lujos en un mercado que sirve comida de buena calidad a un precio fantástico, así que lo califico como tal. Cinco estrellas.

4 de nosotros fuimos para el almuerzo del domingo y nos quedamos muy decepcionados.

Pequeño lugar encantador para el desayuno con un buen menú para elegir. Es un café tradicional apropiado.

Lovely severs, coffee and breakfast here. Always packed with people here having breakfast, coffee and tea with their friends and family.

An ideal place to take breakfast if you're in the area. No frills but genuin. You will sure feel like a local here.

This bistro style cafe is inside Grainger market in the heart of Newcastle which is a great location as you can enjoy the atmosphere of the market itself and vendors going about their business. It serves a good range of breakfast items at very reasonable prices and other good dishes throughout the day. I was there this week and service was friendly and prompt. It was cold but then the air outside was freezing and the market itself had not warmed up early in the morning.

Service at counter very good - food really lovely

After a top boozy night out in Newcastle, we fancied a full English breakfast and found this lovely cafe inside a fantastic indoor market (highly recommended!). Definitely made the right choice - great food, very reasonably priced and the ladies serving/cooking were real down to earth, friendly people. A real gem with some great menu options consisting of traditional British classics.

I have visited this Bistro in newcastle a few times and each time i have visited i have found everyone to be very friendly and helpful however there's always one bad apple in a basket, i orded my food and found it to be there promptly, there was no problem with the portion size of the food and it was set out on the plate very nice. there was more than enough food and the price was more than acceptable and i would have no problem at all in returning when i am in town, there's also many menu's around for you to look at before ordering so you know the price before you order, over all a very good service good food helpful staff and polite to.

A pot of peppermint tea for two was over £4, which seems outrageous to me. This place is nothing special.

Este parecía ser un café muy popular a juzgar por el número de clientes en la mañana del sábado.

Un salto con compañero para nosotros combustible delante de un día de compras en la ciudad. Pedimos dos desayunos tradicionales: 90 @ 4 libras cada uno y tengo que decir que era precioso! Ese precio con tostadas o pan frito y una taza de té o café, no gan wrang! Volveré siempre que estamos en la ciudad :).

El personal era bastante maleducado. Pedí la grasa se cortara mi tocino, ya que tenía una mano rota y pareció difícil y también encontró cualquier grasa en tocino me hizo Illinois El personal se negó y dijo que me daría un cuchillo para cortar fuera de mí. Era imposible para mí hacerlo rechacé. Si caminas unos metros más adelante hay otros dos cafés que obligar y el personal es agradable y servicial.

Encontré este lugar por casualidad mientras matando el tiempo entre citas en Newcastle. Pequeña cafetería ubicado en Grainger Arcade con un buen menú de aperitivos y platos ligeros. Probé el té y bollos y eran deliciosos y algo que no he probado para las edades. Buen servicio a precios razonables.

We came here in the recommendation of a friend - glad they recommended it! We ordered 2 Northumbrian breakfasts, which arrived within about 10 minutes. My boyfriend ordered his without beans, so they replaced the beans with a hash brown. I didn't realise that the breakfasts came without hash browns so I ordered two more and they were brought over straight away, No complaints about the breakfast, very delicious and the toast was very thick!Only comment to make is that the breakfasts come with tea or coffee. It is not possible to swap the tea or coffee for orange juice. Not everyone drinks tea or coffee, so I had to pay extra for an orange juice and my boyfriend got 2 coffees.If you need a breakfast to set you up for the day, Olivers is the place to go!

We called for breakfast. We didn't want a processed over priced breakfast. It was excellent value, with fast service. Proper cup of tea, and proper quality tasting filter coffee. Some breakfasts can have a funny taste like they have been stood in fat, but this tasted fresh. Would def recommend. If Chunky says it's nice, it must be. Sorry bout the empty plates in the photo, we were hungry

Midden in de Arcade van Grainger Market is het terras van Oliver's. Het lijkt wat rommelig, maar is juist erg gezellig met vriendelijk personeel en veel vaste gasten, zo te zien. Je bestelt aan de counter, en dan brengen ze je bestelling. Wij hadden thee met kaas scones. De thee was heet, en goed, met een extra potje heet water voor als we het te sterk vonden. De scones werden geserveerd met twee pakjes roomboter, en waren ontzettend lekker. Boterig, kruimig en heerlijk van smaak. De prijs viel ook nog eens reuze mee.

Having visited the market a few months ago we decided to have lunch here on our latest visit. First impressions weren't good with uncleared tables that seem to be left for you to clear! You order at the till which is fine, unfortunately they aren't very good at recording what you order, so when ours arrived it was missing certain items, like a drink! The latte is a milky coffee and the scones are fairly hard...not the best and certainly not on the list to repeat. It's a shame because with a little effort it could be good as opposed to below average! Approach with caution.

This cafe sells the nicest tasting and most reasonably priced latte in Newcastle. The coffee is not bitter like John Lewis or M&S. The staff are friendly and in the cold months cafe has canopy heaters. We always make for Olivers when we're in town. Great to relax.

A good place to sit and soak up the atmosphere of the Grainger Market while drinking coffee and eating sly cake. Quick service - the only problem is getting a table during busy times of the day!

when my brother comes over from Holland they like here the food and service is very good situated in the market itself so it is central and at times it seems to be busy varied choice of menu and reasonably priced

We came both Saturday and Sunday both days we had great food and great service even better than pub grub totally recommend they can not do enough for you! It's not expensive great value for money!!

I had the Northumbrian breakfast as did my Mam. My Aunty had the traditional breakfast and we were all very impressed with the breakfasts and very pleased with the service.

Been comming to this cafe for lunch every time we visit Newcastle. Today we had to wait for a table, but the staff were so fast with service and clearing tables, we only waited 5 min. As always the staff were very pleasant and organised, recommend the Beef Stottie, very tender beef and gravy in fresh soft Stottie.

quick service.good portion for a fiver. However served on a tiny plate with all the items on top of eachother. it would be nice to able to place a slice of toast on at leastI love bacon. However i could barely manage to eat it. it was so hard

Lovely little cafe in centre of the Grainger Market NEWCASTLE great breakfast , lovely frothy latte, great customer service, definitely be a regular visitor, thanks to the amazing friendly staff

Absolutely scrumcious breakfast served with decent portions. I would have preferred brown bread but only a minor quibble. The food was HOT. No complaints there ;)

Locally produced and baked goods.Good old fashioned big portions.Visited here with my wife and 4 children n 27th sept,one of the best fried breakfasts I've ever had with a bucket of tea,lovely muffin and cake for dessert.A must try for anyone that loves a great English breakfast 10/10

Utterly utterly disappointed with Oliver's, how it can rate its self as a bistro cafe with a twist of Northumbrian flavour is beyond me. The only twist I experienced was a different take on how customer service and presentation and cooking of food can go so wrong.There is not a hint of positiveness here at all, a smile and cheerful greeting costs nothing but by Christ it does wonders to help with the reputation of the place, but I suppose the location helps to keep a steady flow of customers feeding the till. The cooking of the food as can be seen by the photos is beyond amateur, burnt toast and fried bread that was more boiled in fat than fried, pure basics but then the sheer audacity to serve this food is beyond me as the sausages were bland and bacon that had no flavour or texture at all, no respect for the ingredients or paying customer The person cooking or destroying the ingredients if it was my business would be replaced plus the serving and greeting staff taken through the basics of customer service and helping the customer to have a positive experience which they would remember, however I will definitely remember mine for all the wrong reasons I won't be back ever

Bistrot in uno dei posti più belli di Newcastle: il mercato storico coperto in centro. Ho mangiato spesso lì a pranzo: hanno buone zuppe, ottimi panini, patate cucinate nel loro modo tradizionale. Servizio veloce al tavolo, prezzi ragionevoli. Molto buona la sly cake ripiena di marmellata scura. Lo consiglio!

Who ever says best breakfast in the town has no standards of decent grub. I am all for supporting local business but sorry you cannot serve tasteless thin sausages and rock hard bacon when charging £6 a breakfast! Would recommend visitors to the toon to find somewhere else or stick to the many well known chains located very close, better quality cheaper price.

It was a few hours since lunchtime and we had been walking for hours. We were in the Grainger Market when we came across this outlet. While all we had was coffee (very good and not too expensive, also in proper mugs so no plastic lined paper cups to get rid off) we noticed that other patrons were having something to eat as well. While we were not in need of food at this point the food being served looked very tasty.

Visited yesterday with my daughter who has a few allergies and dietry requirements and they went out their way to help.Nicest scrambled eggs I have had in ages. They made food for my daughter with no problems at all. All cooked fresh and very tasty.Thank you and we will return next time in Newcastle

We had a great breakfast here as an alternative to the usual fare provided in hotels. We we staying 5 minutes away but decided to look for somewhere with a bit of something different for a visitor from abroad that was with us. Oliver's fitted the bill perfectly with a good choice of menu, friendly efficient service, great value and the atmosphere of the Grainger Market too. Hint: if you're going to get yourself weighed at the Weigh House do it before your meal rather than after!

Fancied something quick but filling before work and came across olivers. It looked clean and the cost wasn't to bad either. Traditional breakfast, fried bread and a pot of tea for £4.75 I could not complain.Came to the table hot and looked freshly cooked- tasted really nice too. I would go back again.

Nothing particularly special here. Choice on menu is ok but ordered egg sandwich only to be told they didn't have any. Coffee is nice though.

The latte is fairly priced and nothing special. The pot of tea was great value for money, although it was weak and I like strong tea. It was the worst lemon meringue pie I've ever had. It looked amazing but the pastry was too thick, the meringue was dry and powdery and unfortunately the lemon had the consistency of super glue. I won't be rushing back anytime soon

My husband and I went into Jamies for lunch whilst out shopping. I ordered Caesers Salad which I enjoyed, however, my husband ordered chicken in a brioche, which was really in a bread bun like a burger and extremely greasy. The desert, Eton Mess was lovely as was the coffee. The service, and the young man who served us, was very good and pleasant. The décor wasn't good either. Wooden walls, and not nice wood!! Not for us. However, we did go to Jamie Olivers in Glasgow which was totally different and very good. Sorry Newcastle.

Visited today with partner, and his son & grandson who were spending half term up here from Kent. We have been to Oliver's before so knew we'd get a lovely meal and good value too. It was busy (late morning) but the waitresses coped well and everything was served hot & tasty, nothing too much trouble we were brought extra sauces.I have to say in defence of Olivers to previous reviewers who complain about being asked to leave when eating something not purchased here, the cafe is not a communal seating area, so why do they (these reviewers) expect to be able to eat food bought elsewhere? You would be asked to leave any cafe/restaurant if you were eating products not bought on the premises.I say if you want good food at good value, Olivers fits the bill.

In Newcastle with my daughter for university interviews. Everyone we met reinforced our view of friendly northerners, much welcomed coming from Belfast. Everyone, except Olivers Staff, who follow Ollies Orders.I ordered coffee and an empire biscuit on a quiet Wednesday afternoon. My daughter had bought a crepe around the corner and then sat with me. She was unceremoniously told she couldn't sit with me. No queues, no one waiting for seats. All a little over the top for me. Not according to Oldie, who defends his staff actions in reply to my Facebook post. The food may be OK I don't know, I left to join my daughter. If you want to see a good covered market and communal dining check out St George's Market Belfast.

Staff very nice and helpful , clean ,plenty of couples spaces staff all dressed in black uniform smart quick service good bacon sandwich and a good coffee and tea for the misses well delivered food

I been there a week ago and I buy 2 coffee and a sandwich for me and my girlfriend for 7 pound, but I decide to eat some pizza so I been near by to buy a slice. When I come back, I sit down and they told me I cannot seat with a pizza... after I buy 7 pound of breakfast I can't seat and I had to eat far away from the shop and leave my girlfriend alone. When I come back my girlfriend told me the sandwich with bacon was very dry and horrible. I will never come back here because if I buy I have to take a sit, only good things I eat a lovely pizza instead a rubbish sandwich.

Very tasty breakfast special. Two Stottie cakes filled with three delicious pork sausages and hot milky coffee for two. Have a guess how much go on. £6 I kid you not £6 and as good as anything you'll get for breakfast in Newcastle.

We had breakfast, it looked thrown together on the plate, and I have never seen such a discussing egg, cooked on a griddle, it was dirty brown and black,paper thin, with a yellow blob in the middle. How a cook can send this out really saddens me.

This is one of those places that if you have never been to the Grainger market you will never have experienced the delights of Olivers Bistro or Ollies Bistro as it is known as locally.The Grainger market is well worth a visit if you have never been and is absolutely jam packed with a plethora of local business that offer such a wide and varied choice of products.At its busiest it is a hive of activity so be prepared to have to queue at some places that includes my latest gem of a find.I knew all about it and just have never had the opportunity to sample the delights on offer from this place.I was early for an appointment so decided to make a little bit of a detour and have something to eat to set me up for what was going to be a busy day.The staff were extremely warm and welcoming and very polite and courteous at all times which is always a big tick in my review book.I had heard so much about the famous big breakfasts that I decided just to go for a sausage and mushroom bun which was more than enough to keep me going.The sandwich was piping hot and was offered with a free choice of sauces which is always a nice touch with most other places charging !! The coffee was excellent and the prices very reasonable indeed.The menu is very good with plenty of choice for all discerning customers.It is one of those places that has a loyal following of customers but is also a place that welcomes new customers in exactly the same way and that is why it will continue to be successful as without customers you have no business.I know that I will definitely be going back soon and might even go for the big breakfast and see if I can do it justice.The seating area is very pleasant and allows you to survey other business activity from your seat without being too exposed to the passing public.I also noticed they are doing a Xmas broth which I am sure will be as delicious as my sandwich was today.So well done to all concerned and know you will go from strength to strength in the future as I am an advocate of supporting local business as I myself am one.

The northumbrian breakfast is excellent value for money. Friendly staff good service best coffee served hot clean and comfortable tables.

The Irish breakfast is amazing and fills you for hours. The Northumbrian Burger is very tasty too. Great value and a great place to people watch the characters you see in the Grainger Market.

Called in here for a quick bite to eat one Saturday.Service was very quick and very friendly and the food and drinks was good value too.

called in for a quick breakfast and was stunned at the quality of the service and the food staff could not have been more helpful

I came in for lunch at 2pm, so not that late in my view. I wanted the soup but they had run out. I opted for a cheeseburger but they had none left. I was offered the gammon as they had plenty of that. No thanks. That was it. There was no interest and too much apathy from those working there. I found s lovely cafe opposite in the market which I'll use instead.

Outstanding Northumbrian burger! Abso delisho!!! And the chips were just supreme. Was just there and the quality never slips! Just a great meal!

I call at Oliver's for the best sausage sandwich ever,and a coffee,when shopping,friendly staff,quick service,clean,comfortable seating,great place to people watch,it's freezing in Grainger market in winter,Oliver's have heaters,which are much appreciated.

We stopped for breakfast whilst visiting Newcastle after thinking the cafe looked 'cute'. Bad mistake! We ordered two toasted tea cakes, coke and a tea. We got our drinks slapped down on the table and left sitting on the tray. My tea cup was dirty and after cleaning it and pouring my tea in it, also found out it was greasy! We waited 35 minutes on our toasted tea cakes before getting fed up. We had been looking over at the kitchen but none of the 6 staff decided to come and see us. We ended up going to speak to manager to ask where our food was and that we were going to have to leave. We got told that the machine wasn't toasting the tea cakes, common sense would have told her to try one of the other two toasters sitting in the kitchen! They didn't have the decency to come across and ask us if we would like something else, instead just left us sitting! We asked for our money back, but only got the money for our tea cakes and left. I'm glad we did because the kitchen looked dirty as well! Horrid start to the morning.

Popped in on fri 26/6/15. Both of us had the ham broth, I thought it was tasty but my wife said to thick bit like a stew. Had ham sandwich between us ok but nothing special .As another reviewer said staff when taking your order, not that interested.cheap but not very cheerful.

Don't be deceived by the imagery.On arrival to the market place we noticed the sign displayed a rather good looking burger, so we decided to eat at the place thinking it was good. Well, on ordering the food we found that the staff where rude. When taking our order I had to keep repeating constantly the order as the person at the till kept looking away or talking to other staff members of which there was a number of them stood doing nothing but staring at customers where the food was being prepared. I did notice a waiter constantly chewing throughout a meal. However I think he was chewing on scraps from customers meals. This was off putting and simply disgusting. The food overall was terrible and my partner did not eat her food as it was that bad. I will be making a formal complaint to this place!Ps. Mac Donald's is much better than this place and at least the staff are more polite

Visited olivers this afternoon for a late lunch both my wife and I had a baked potato one with cheese savoury the other with tuna plenty of filling with a good size potato and salad on the side two cups of tea all for under £12 we will definitely go back

Always go here for a lovley cuppa and my favourite date and walnut scone - just the best. freindly, chatty local staff who are run off their feet as this place is so popular. The breakfasts look fab

We decided to pop into Olivers for brunch while walking around Newcastle. We like Olivers for the atmosphere. Great for people watching. We ordered the full breakfast x 3. Our daughters was brought to the table minus any bacon. When I mentioned it, they took it away to get bacon added. After a few minutes it hadnt arrived so when when we mentioned it, the waiter went to check and brought the meal back with him, Still without the bacon, so we told him again why it was sent back on the first occasion. We also told him that we were waiting for our fried bread. Apparently they had to go to the local bakers shop across the way to get more bread so it would be with us soon. The breakfast returned with 4 slices of bacon on it so our daughter was well happy with that as she had more than we did. The fried bread did turn up shortly after with an apology for the wait. Apart from these two things happening, we still like this place, even if its for the location.

I have 'snacked' at Olivers several times.The lunches,especially the pies , are very good .Nothing fancy ,but tasty and well made . a sarny with some crisps and salad is another good choice.Again nothing fancy but tasty well filled and generous portions .Just a tea or coffee ? You will still be welcomed. The staff are friendly and the space is comfortable and warm , with great heaters .Good value ,good food, friendly staff and cosy and warm .

Visited here yesterday with a couple of my friends. The staff are very friendly and always willing to help! Soup was very nice! Nice place to come for a small bite too eat and it's not that expensive! You get what you pay for after all!

We've visited Oliver's quite a few times over the years. When we first started eating there the food was notably better than most other cafés around the area. The Northumbrian breakfasts were a must-have on every visit.Unfortunately we can't say the same now. Our last three visits over the past few months have been consistently disappointing. The place seems to be run by young girls now (on Saturday mornings at least) and the ingredients now seem cheap and tasteless.A real shame but I don't think we'll be back unless things pick up again.

This place is lovely, freindly staff and bacon and egg sandwiches to die for. This is the place to go if you want lovely cooked and good tasting food.

Came here with a friend two weeks ago. Very very disappointed. Expensive for what it is. Wont return.

I have been coming here regular on a Saturday morning before shopping. Breakfast is always consistently served really quickly and is always very hot. I would never go anywhere else for breakfast, the staff are all lovely. Definitely recommend it!!
