On The Corner in North Tyneside

Just like to say a big thank you to the chef and staff at this wonderful cafe as I recently celebrated my 70th birthday and the food was excellent and the staff were amazing!

Lovely friendly place, pulled pork ciabatta delicious, portions very generous, wine a bit warm though. Everything else spot on

We went there as a large group to celebrate a birthday on a Sunday. We're two coeliacs, a few vegetarians and various other permutations. The food was delicious and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. What a treat!

Amazing breakfast spot. Food was amazing, good portion size and tasty. Really friendly welcoming staff. Will definitely go back.

I have enjoyed visits to Meet Me on the Corner (named after the famous Lindisfarne song of course) quite a few times for my breakfast, but this weekend I booked a table (strongly recommended) for Sunday dinner. I have to say right now that the owners chose the wrong song to name their restaurant after, as it should have been named after the Tina Turner song “Simply the Best”. Our Sunday dinners were absolutely delightful. Without doubt they were “Simply the best". I chose the beef Sunday dinner while my partner, who is Gluten free, chose the Chicken Sunday dinner. The beef I had was served in the shape of a circular joint and was succulent and very tender. It sat on a bed of mash which was incredibly tasty (albeit I have no idea what was put into it to make it soo tasty), along with fresh carrots, swede, green beans, roast potatoes, sweet cabbage, Yorkshire pud and a rich wine tasting gravy. WOW…does not do it justice at all. My partner thoroughly enjoyed her chicken Sunday dinner too and we both agreed it was simply the best we had ever had and as Tina would sing, "better than all the rest". Well done to the owner/chef/staff for such extremely tasty and well priced food and for running such a fabulous restaurant. PS I had previously been quite a few times for my breakfast and have had the poached eggs and smashed avocado on toasted sourdough bread with feta and a drizzle of tomato and olive oil and small black pitted olives. That too is fabulous and I can strongly recommend that too.

Food here is absolutely phenomenal. Excellent quality and flavours and they are so good at catering for gluten free. We had the most delicious gf Sunday lunch with sides too. Definitely worth a visit!

We went for the smile trail and found this cafe, I had never heard of it so we tried it. You are supposed to book but we were lucky and got a table. We went for a matcha smoothie and hot chocolate and a fish finger sani. It was really good and very fillng. The staff are all really friendly and it is beautifully decorated. We did wait a while for our food but its due to it being busy and as the food is freshly prepared.

I visited this lovely corner cafe yesterday with my daughter and granddaughter for afternoon tea. What a treat. We were greeted by lovely staff which were accommodating and pleasant. The afternoon tea was presented lovingly and food itself was delicious , i personally enjoyed the sausage roll the best, my granddaughter enjoyed the fruit scone the best. Amazing value. Well done MEET ME ON THE CORNER staff. I will definitely be visiting again.

Lunch with daughter. Lindisfarne burger and chips to die for. Very generous portion and tastiest chips I have had in ages. Excellent value, will go again. Small point though, not made clear when you go in that you have to go to bar to order, and same to pay on leaving. Will know next time.

Really friendly staff, lovely buzz about the place and a delicious plant based breakfast option. Definitely recommend 👌

Staff weren’t very friendly or helpful when I asked about the details of a couple of dishes. I think we waited for about 45 mins for our food and when it arrived it was dry and to be honest I could have cooked better at home, was expecting more as it has good reviews but I definitely wouldn’t return for the cost. I like good quality meat and it tasted like cheap meat, wouldn’t recommended.

Super disappointed in our late lunch today. Myself and my partner ordered the turkey and stuffing sandwiches at £11.50 each then chips with them at £3.50 each and the fish goujons, chips and peas for our little one. The food came really quickly and everything looked good. We waited around 10 mins for the chips for one of the meals after prompting we were still awaiting them coming. They arrived with a bowl of stuffing and a member of staff saying they forgot to put the stuffing in the sandwich, my partner asked about this and we received a laugh and he walked away. Although minor we had already eaten half of them at this point and the reaction rather than apology really stunned us. We did say something to the owner who asked us how our meals were and she offered us some bakes to take home as an apology which we declined. Spending £23 on them we'd hoped for an offer of a refund or at least partial refund really. Our little ones meal, the chips which eventually came and the coffees were lovely but handling of the mistake left us feeling very disappointed on a rare day together as a family.

We came here for Sunday lunch with our daughter and brothers family. Wow! We had clean plates as the food was delicious. The featherblade of beef was unbelievable, proper home made Yorkshire puddings and if I let him, my husband would have licked his dessert bowl clean (he got the warm salted caramel brownie with ice cream). Wasn't expecting this type of quality from a small intimate venue. The staff were so lovely too and we're all happy and friendly. Good choice of music, loved dining to a bit of Maribou state. Can't wait to return

Absolutely gorgeous place! Food and drink always delicious and a interesting range. Atmosphere spot on! Fantastic team of staff - You're guaranteed a warm welcome and service with a friendly smile. AND it's genuinely dog friendly. A short walk from the main high street but so worth it

Went with visiting relatives from Australia for breakfast. Lovely food and friendly experienced staff.

Really enjoyed our breakfast when we visited at the weekend! We had a sausage sandwich and poached eggs and avocado and the olives were a really nice addition, which made the breakfast stand out. I would say the portions are on the smaller side, especially...

This cafe is literally round the corner from us; it's not the first cafe on that spot, but it's the first we've ever seen reliably packed out every lunchtime. Turns out what was needed for the cafe just to be *really really good*. This is...

Omg what a meal!! Absolutely beautiful we had the Korean steak and eggs with kimchi £12.50 and worth every penny. Hazelnut coffee is highly recommended 👌 Service was great friendly and was informative regarding other meals on the menu which is good. Very delicious and...

Me and my partner recently went to Meet Me in the Corners street food day. We had the lamb kofta and Moroccan chicken thighs, a couple of drinks and an unreal cheese cake. We ended up chatting to the lovely Laura (front of house) who...

We’ve drove passed here quite a few times and always said we’d pop in one day, wish we hadn’t. Myself and my wife both opted for the full English which at over £12 didn’t come cheap! You get a choice of egg (yep singular) poached,...

I was recommended this spot by another business owner in Whitley bay as I was enquiring about gluten free and hey said the owners had coeliac so I knew I would feel safe. Upon entering the cafe we were greeted by a young girl with...

Had read about this place in the local press and two other friends also wanted to go so six of us booked in for supper club at the end of March. Two of us are gluten-free so it was a nice surprise when we got...

Been here several times now on visits up to Whitley Bay to see our daughter, who has been coming here since it opened. As someone with a gluten intolerance it can be hard in some places to find good food. I cannot recommend this cafe...

What an amazing gem of a cafe! We visited here after seeing the cafe whilst driving past and even though the cafe was full they were so accommodating. We had our young baby with us and they made such a huge effort with her and...

A real gem of place. If you’re in the area, it’s a must visit. We had the Korean steak and eggs and the smashed Avo with poached eggs. Both were top notch and was sad when we only had one mouthful left. Great service and...

Excellent service as the times before, gluten free chicken Sunday lunch was delicious they do yorkshires but my booking was late on the day they ran out but give me a complimentary free coffee still a very satisfied customer and really recommend for gluten free....

Whilst out for a walk we decided to stop at meet me on the corner for breakfast. The place had a few people in for early on a Friday morning and the atmosphere was good. We were given menus and after deciding what we wanted...

Great service, for me and my dog. Good coffee and treats after a long beach walk. The dog insists on the stop before home. The family, 6 adults and (4 grandchildren) really enjoyed the Sunday lunch as a rehearsal from Christmas lunch. Well done to...

Bustling even at 2pm shows it’s popular- rightly so. Delicious food with lots of healthy options. Afternoon tea looked amazing too. It’s licensed so a drink was a treat. Real friendly young lad doing waiting Resisted the cakes but they looked good as did the...

Lovely little cafe and beautiful food. Great service and friendly accommodating staff. One downfall is that the music is far too loud and has been loud the past few times I’ve been in. If you’re sat close to the counter it’s difficult to have a...

Beautiful that’s our opinion I am GF my husband not. The Sunday lunch was perfect the staff were polite and friendly (well done) This was my first not last visit thank you .

We visited for lunch on Thursday I had the Lindisfarne burger and my partner had roast red pepper and tomato soup with sourdough bread. We both agreed that they looked great and also packed a punch of flavour. Restaurant quality dishes in a cosy and...

I had a late lunch end of september at this beautiful place, 5* all around if I could rate more I would i highly would say all the good things, fantastic service and lovely to chat to the owner and another member of staff that...

Disappointment when it comes to choice and service when out and about is a common thing when you can't have gluten. It is par for the course that we just have to put up with what we are given, which is normally zero thought or...

We chose to come here for breakfast as the cafe has been marketed as a gluten free friendly place. One of our party is gluten free and has been missing gluten free black pudding so when we saw that the breakfast could be done as...

this was a good place to stop with our dog as it had seats out side we had tae and scones but the rest of the food looked brill will by coming back with out the dog one day

Meet me on the corner is quite possibly one of the best brunch/lunch spots around! The food isn’t just ‘passable’ as normal food like a lot of gluten free options it’s actually amazing!! Everybody I’ve spoken to, gone with or recommended the place to have...

Having watched this venue change owner so much this past decade it has been a pleasure, a relief, a real joy to see what it has become in this sustainable, exciting, delicious, cost effective, friendly and fun setting. The service is friendly, the food is...

Visited today with friends for breakfast. This was our third visit, our friends first. All ordered full English breakfasts with different drinks. As usual excellent staff great service and food top quality. The food choice for GF customers is exceptional and so much care taken...

Just been for a Salomon Good Bowl takeaway and got the smallest slither of salmon ever. Not even enough to pass as a child's portion. Used to go regular but never again if this is their standard. Very disappointing.

I have to say we came to this cafe with high hopes and although venue is nice and food in the main is good we have had a bit hit and miss with the service. First time we visited fair enough was not their fault...

3 of us went for Sunday lunch. Surprised when we got there to hear that it was fully booked but they thankfully squeezed us in. Sunday lunch all round - better than any hotel or restaurant - incredible every single mouthful. The staff were all...

Absolutely wowed from the very first bite, I had the prawns and some fries, which were totally not needed but oh so good! Hubby had the burger which he said was delish and the service was everything you could want

Great coffee/tea/scones and especially the pancakes with crispy bacon and maple syrup; great customer service.

We had an amazing breakfast at meet me on the corner, a group of 10 of us and everybody said it was one of the best breakfasts they've had! The staff are all absolutely lovely, nothing was a problem even with such a big group...

Having read some great reviews , we were looking forward to visiting this newly decorated and handily situated cafe which has recently been taken over by a local chef and his wife . My sister and I opted for moules marinieres with a side of...

Birthday Sunday lunch for four adults and three children. We had best Sunday dinner I've had out in a long time. Three of us had beef and one had chicken. The plate was colourful with seasonal veg . I opted for a glass of wine...

This has become our favourite haunt after swimming lessons. The food is great to suit all diet requirements, all using locally sourced foods. Laura’s home made cakes and brownies are out of this world too. Great to see a local business thrive with some lovely...

Well what can I say? We’ve been a few times to this new cafe. We’ve stopped for coffee and cakes (which are great and gluten free options were a hit for my mum who can’t have). On another trip I ordered a beautiful full English,...

Wow! What a gorgeous venue this is. Looks lovely and breakfast of Smashed Avocado was stunning, best I've had! Can't wait to return.

Jus had Sunday lunch wow! The food is amazing and they cater for any allergy if you inform them in advance. I had a garlic intolerance/allergy and Kris made me some chicken separate. We also came away with some amazing looking brownies and a ice...

I’ve had the most delicious lunch at this friendly well run bistro. Will certainly go back and recommend.

We had Sunday lunch every thing on our plates was superb. The staff could not be faulted service with a smile. I wish them good luck and we will be back.

Superb food, lovely atmosphere for a family brunch, catch up with a friend or a quiet coffee on the terrace in the sunshine. Food was restaurant-standard and excellent service. A little gem in Whitley Bay!

Had lunch here yesterday, lovely food, menu marked as gluten free or gluten free available. My husband had fish finger sandwich which could be gluten free, I had the mozzarella on gluten free bruschetta and a side of homemade chips (couldn’t resist as they were...

A few years ago a chef (I enquired after his name) cooked me steak at a restaurant in Newcastle. It remains to this day the best steak I've ever eaten. When I found out that aforementioned chef Kris Campbell had opened his own eatery along...

What a lovely place - The staff are friendly and the food top quality. The raspberry cheesecake was probably the best I have ever tasted. Highly recommended !!

We visited this cafe for Sunday lunch mainly as I am Coeliac and was informed the owner is also coeliac so I felt it would be a safe place to eat(my husband isn’t coeliac) The cafe has a beautiful decor with plenty of outdoor tables...

Excellent small cafe with cheerful young staff and good food. Seemed to welcome all from small children to oldies (us) equally. Nice varied breakfast menu and good coffee.

Great place for brunch/lunch or a quick coffee and cake stop! Went on opening weekend with my family - husband and 2 children and was amazing! Quality of the food is excellent and a lot of it locally sourced too which is nice to see!...

Took my mam here on opening weekend for breakfast, and had the all day breakfast. It couldn't have been any better! It's clear that all the ingredients are top quality and cooked to perfection - not just your average breakfast! Everyone was super friendly and...

Only their second day open I think (having been closed for some months). Lovely brunch menu - the food going to other tables looked really tasty. Especially the steak and eggs. But today it was a sausage sarnie. Geordie Bangers are used so you know...

Ok I admit it, I sought this place out because of the name and its local musical connection, tragically simple sausage rolls were not a menu option. What I found was a well run and really friendly cafe. Obviously a hub for the local community....

This is a lovely friendly coffee shop in a residential area of Whitley Bay. Excellent choice of food and caring and efficient staff. Sunday lunch now on the menu and well worth a try.

Today was our first and last visit. We ordered two "cheese scones" and two Lattes The lattes were in very small beakers with half an inch of ice cold froth on the top. The so called cheese scones were nothing short of disgusting, dry jaw...

Everyone’s meal came out at different times my dad sat down to his steak sandwich when he was finished we all sat just waiting on the next meal coming out . We kind of felt guilty because one was eating and nobody else was .

A great addition to the eateries and cafes in Whitley Bay. Fabulous food and coffee and with the addition of an alcohol licence now this will be the No 1 spot at the coast for food and drink

Great place to stop for lunch/snack or just a coffee. The raspberry white chocolate muffin is lovely.

This is certainly not your usual coffee shop/cafe. The menu is just that little bit different, the food is of really good quality, always tasty and freshly prepared. My husband has has the sticky sausages several times and they never disappoint. We have had several...

Had several takeaway meals from this very friendly cafe,now looking forward to enjoying a coffee and delicious cake in their lovely outdoor space.

I collected an absolutely delicious afternoon tea to celebrate Mother’s Day. Friendly service and the cakes were HUGE!

Visited for takeaway and service and food were excellent. Breakfast burrito and chicken gyros were delicious as is the coffee. Will definitely be going back

Food is absolutely beautiful, the cafe is kept to a high standard of cleanliness and the staff are very friendly

Had several lunches and coffees at this coffee shop. Love the food. Della n Justin great hosts. Can’t wait for the drinks license to have a few drinks in the sunshine 🌞

We first popped in here for coffee and cake when we were looking at a house to buy on a nearby street. Della and Justin were lovely, gave lots of advice on the local area and engaged with our eldest child (then 2.5). The drinks...

Called in for lunch. Lovely place and the staff where super friendly and helpful. I had pulled pork and fries, my wife had chicken on flat bread with salad. Both meals where tasty. As we where tourist the lovely lady gave us lots of information...

My first time here and it can't have been open that long. And what a pleasant occasion it was. Very friendly and efficient staff with reasonable prices. The muffin was nice but the star was the cheese and thyme scone. Much against my expectations (so...
