PedallingSquares in Gateshead

Funky cycling themed cafe. Food was excellent and good value for money. Great coffee. Staff were very friendly. Would recommend. Got busy quite quickly so would arrive by 10am latest (Sunday).

Lovely full English and always a nice place to be

First visit, but definitely not the last, the two lady staff were superb, and the price of drinks an cakes very fare.... Don't read me, jus try it

Love this place. Came across it simply by passing. Definitely recommend and will return.

excellent food and service as always. best cafe in the north east.

Can't comment on food as only called in for a cuppa, average prices, was busy service was friendly.

Very good food, quick service, and great vibe

Lovely place, full of character. Does the best all day breakfast I have ever had! You need to try it.

Cycle stop off Cafe and bar first class food highly recommended

Visited this place this morning with my brother great food great service thanks

Great cafe with lots of bike memorabilia. Good food, good coffee and good value.

Great spot just off the tracks to recharge with a mug of tea and a slice of cake.

Clearly this spot is designed for lycra wearing cycling enthusiasts ... If you're one then you'll definitely enjoy the surroundings whilst you tuck in. I'm definitely not such a person, but I enjoyed the atmosphere and had a good breakfast here on a Saturday morning. Friendly staff and decent value, tasty breakfast fare was enjoyed. Apart from the lack of parking, not a bad choice at all if you are in the area.

Lovely coffee and food, but for a cycling cafe didn’t seem to be much in the way of somewhere to put bike. Three hooks at the front door and they were a bit low for my bike. Unless I missed them.

Service is always great. Coffee is usually good, but can miss the mark sometimes. Stopped getting cakes as they were too much of a gamble. Haven't tried the hot food. Good stop when out for a walk/bike.

Great burgers, lovely relaxed atmosphere, one of our regulars

Unreal vibe in here, food is outstanding as well. Plus the stout they have on draft is unparalleled

Had food in here for the first time last week, it has great unique feel about the place. Staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly and the food is great too. The Brooklyn toast is amazing and the small breakfast is unbelievable value for what you get! 😁

On a chilly Sunday we took the dog and had delicious cake, Fresh OJ and coffee whilst sat on the cosy settees by the gas log burner. Looking forward to returning on the bike in the summer and refuelling with some of their more substantial meals. We can recommend the Chocolate Brownie and Coconut Sandwich Cake. A really interesting place with lots of cycling memorabilia and internal storage for bikes. Treats and water for the dog too.

Great cycling hub, good beer, good food, excellent decor. A must for any north east based cyclist

The coffee is just right, full of flavour and not too strong. The scones are freshly made and so tasty. Service and atmosphere is first class.

Lovely cafe with friendly staff and amazing food. Highly recommend it.

We all had different dishes for breakfast. The staff were very friendly and the food was lovely. We are from South London and cycling enthusiasts, so was a great visit to see all the cycling memorabilia and the bike workshop was good to see.

A busy and vibrant popular place with a nice atmosphere. I stopped here for post parkrun coffee and cake with a friend and it was full. Not huge amounts of parking but I was able to get a spot easily enough Seemed to be popular with cyclists and none cyclists alike.

Quite expensive for breakfast, got a large full English and pancakes with maple syrup, full English was a bit greasy but partner liked the pancakes. However I thought 25 quid with 2coffees was a bit steep. The place was fine with lots of bike propaganda around the walls and cycling on the television. I don't like cyclists in general.

Fabulous great choice of food from tray bakes to hot snacks and burgers. Coffee very good and reasonable. Homemade scones very good.

Amazing food and breakfast to die for well worth the 362 mile trip

Love this place! Food is always spot on, freshly cooked and very tasty. A real must if you are in the area.

I should come here more often, fabulous staff, fantastic food and a great atmosphere. I had a sausage and egg bun yesterday and it came with two perfectly cooked eggs. Never seen that before. My sister is a regular and we've been planning to come when they have live music on, we haven't managed to do that yet, but we will. Can't rate this place highly enough!

Fav cafe in the world. Go every single week. The atmosphere is so relaxed, they're kid friendly and dog friendly too! There's a terrace outside for when it's warm, and a log burner in the winter when it's cold! Highly recommend Just don't pinch my fav spot on the couches! 😂

Having read rave reviews of this place we were really excited to try it but sadly left a little disappointed. We went for breakfast and loved the quirky interior and the staff were really friendly, but the breakfast was really not nice. We both went for the full english but found it just so greasy, the plate was covered in the oil that had come off the food and all I could taste was the oil (which tasted like it needed changing). Might give it another go but maybe not for breakfast

zoo wee momma was this good! my taste buds felt smoother than a baby's bum! my burger tasted like abortions though...

Lovely relaxing place. Lovely quirky settings. Lovely food. Dog friendly, ideal if you've been on a walk or ride. Highly recommended 👌👍

Best small plate full English around !

Nice visit. Easy to get a seat for a change usually busy. Great place when weather is nice as you can sit outside, unfortunately weather wasn't that nice so we had a comfy sofa instead - not all bad!

A hidden gem. A very good menu, good coffee and a nice atmosphere.

Always call in staff are really friendly and 🐕 friendly so great place to call in for ☕and good food ☺️.

Stopped for a coffee and cake. Both excellent. Great relaxed atmosphere

A decent cycling care, but a bit too macho - seems to be obsessed with the competitive side of cycling, which leaves me cold. And where are the pictures of female cyclists ffs?

Had been told good things about here but were a little disappointed. Menu was limited and pricey for what was on offer. Cakes etc looked ok and may have been a better option. Is cycling based and better suited for them than casual cafe visit

What a fantastic little place! The place has a great relaxed atmosphere - it makes no difference if you like cycling or not - just enjoy it ☺️ Food wise I had a burger and chips, great quality and reasonably priced too. I'll definitely be visiting again.

Very Good. Food would have been 5* but for the Fact the Toast I had, although promptly delivered, was underdone. I need to remember the next time , to ask for it to be more done. Coffee I had was excellent.

Really nice place for breakfast

Nice coffee and toasty. Great Cafe for cyclists

Lovely cafe with a strong cycling theme throughout. Stopped a couple of times now for lunch and not been disappointed! Dog friendly as well! 😁

Love this place bike it no bike. Great food and the fact it is excellent for kids and dog friendly makes it an easy choice for spot of breakfastst or lunch.

Great staff and food. Came highly recommended and lived up to reviews

My first visit. I can't stop talking about it.What a place , fantastic , not my usual sort of haunt , but l wouldn't have missed it for the world. Food was great , the atmosphere was wonderful, my red wine was served in a sparkling clean glass. The coffee perfect l had two. The service faultless. An interesting place , especially so if you are a cycling enthusiast. It was warm and relaxed. I shall be going again .l salute you all, a brilliant place.

Nice little quirky cafe, that you would never knew existed without recommendation , friendly staff good service and nice home cooked food recommended.

Only gave 4 stars instead of 5 not because of anything to do with quality of food but purely that the meal that my daughter ordered was supposed to have avocado in it but somehow it got forgotten. When mentioned it was corrected straight away and she was given small bowl of avocado on the side.both my son and I had american pancakes and they were wonderful, maple syrup given in small jug on side and no pinching on amount was definitely enough for all the pancakes on my plate. If you are into the biking scene you will love the decor, goes for the slightly scruffy look but very clean at same time. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for an experience that little different but with amazing food.

Quirky place for a breakfast. Decided to come here when another restaurant we were planning to go to has closed. We loved the theme in the place and breakfast options available. The breakfast was good the sausage was really good! The bacon could be better, it’s possible I didn’t get a good piece. We ordered two lattes and a decaf tea for mam. Coffee was excellent! Mam said: Best scramble eggs she’s had! Points: come with your bikes 🚲 and you could get it serviced while you dine. Parking is tight, you can park in an empty plot not too far from the restaurant on the top of the road.

Cyclist's coffee shop. Usually busy and secure ish cycle parking.

Coffee on outdoor decking , very good

Great coffee and cake stop off for cyclists. And loads of cycling memorabilia, everywhere. But more than just for cyclists. Plenty of family Sunday breakfasts. And fully licensed.

Nice place. Decent breakfast. Lovely coffee.

Great little place for a coffee or more if you're hungry

Always nice to get a good bite to eat and proper coffee, decent fuel for bikers!

A cafe dedicated to cycling, what more do you want? Excellent food and really nice coffee.

I like the interior design. The food wasn't great. They used salt rocks inside the burger and I hurt my tooth. They tried twice to take our food even we didn't finished and the place wasn't packed. Not the best experience. Hopefully they will improve overtime but I don't think I'll give them another chance anytime soon .

Fairly good food. Stopped off here late morning for a couple of English Breakfasts. The place was a little busy, so service was a tad slow. Initially I wanted a diet fizzy drink, but apparently they had none of these in stock so I went for an iced latte. Food was fairly decent. My only real complaint was that the toast wasn't really toast, it was a little soft and soggy. Other than that, it's hard to fault anything else.

Lovely staff and atmosphere. Popped in for an early lunch and had an awesome Reuben. Partner had soup and a toastie. We will be back

Great coffee, but like so many places, not a great deal of choice us with coeliacs!

Came down from Whickham tonight in a taxi to see what you are like and you are closed. Why advertise you are open... What a waste of time .

Quirky little cafe with great food

Nice atmosphere and great selection of food and drink. The one thing that has bothered us since returning is the 50p extra charge for alternative milk (soya/oat etc) which is rather extortionate.

So this one hurts because I'd been so excited to visit, took the day off with my partner and drove for a nice coffee and lunch here on August 30th. I'll start with the positives, because it really isn't all bad. Firstly, it's a lovely, quirky interior with bright pink walls and interesting cycling content to look at, from photos to jerseys hanging down. Secondly, the girl who served us, who had only been there a couple of weeks, was lovely, very friendly, smiley and chatty in the best way. Thirdly, and importantly, my tea was a really nice brew and my partner got a coffee (I don't drink coffee) which she stated was the best she's ever had. If you're going for a coffee or tea only, then fill your boots, this is a great place to go for that. Great vibe, excellent drinks. But this is where the positives stopped for me. The food was really, really bad. We ordered the French Toast Brooklyn style and a breakfast item meal of granary toast, bacon, eggs and hash browns. We asked for poached eggs, which they didn't do. Scrambled or fried only. That's not the end of the world, but a surprise given it's a food serving place with a good reputation and their peers we've been to have all done so. But I digress... The bacon was awful. The rind was huge, not cooked through and had been cooked on a dirty grill, which you could immediately taste in the bacon. Anyone who has ever had one from a match day burger van knows that taste. The granary bread was brown bread, not granary and not a good brown bread, it's the type you get really cheap in a corner store. The hash browns and eggs tasted the same as everything else due to the oil. To top it off, none of it was seasoned. Bland, boring and cheap tasting is not the experience I expected. Now, the French toast. Classically cooked using brioche this was not. It was the same cheap, thin, brown bread. Awful. The bacon was the same, huge rind, cheap tasting, cooked on a dirty grill, and skimpy, two rashers total - probably fortunate in this case given it wasn't very nice. Thankfully there was a pot of maple syrup to mask a lot of it. The maple syrup was nice. This meal was presented well (albeit with only two rashers and the wrong kind of bread for the meal). I was shocked, the place is renowned, the reviews good, but our experience was that the food was bad (french toast) and shocking (mixed breakfast). We were never asked how the food was and as such, didn't complain. We just left a lot of the mixed breakfast. To top it off, the taste of the oil and dirty grill was too much for my partner who ended up vomitting as a result, though did so away from the toilets in the restaurant as the restaurant is nice inside and the drinks were good, and didn't want to distract anyone inside from that). As I say, this hurts as I was so excited and took the day off to go. All my reviews are fair and honest and I'm writing my experience here. The drinks were brilliant, I even managed to get a Bundaberg Ginger Beer which is a personal favourite, and it is nice inside, but this was a food trip where the food was miles below average, and that's what this represents. Going for drinks? Go, definitely. You'll really enjoy it. Going for food? Don't. Sorry.

Excellent coffee, cake and service as usual

This is our local go to cafe Great food, lots of choice for vegetarians and meat eaters. Burgers and nachos are amazing Fresh local cakes too. So nice to find a place within walking distance which is dog friendly and start making you a cuppa before you have even sat down. Don’t change a thing, perfect in every way

Lovely inside, food was top notch and service was really fast. Will be back in the future.

Nice cafe and bacon sandwiches there are lush

Eclectic mix of cycling and art along with great cake and coffee. All day breakfast is a belly buster that won't disappoint

Quirkey little place, nice food and dog friendly.

Lovely breakfasts and very friendly staff

Only had a bacon and egg sandwich but absolutely spot on

Been here a few times with the dog, great food and lovely staff. Does not disappoint.

Great place good food very reasonable

Absolutely lush, best breakfast I've had for ages. Lovely staff and a mean coffee. Definitely adding to our regulars

Amazing cycling cafe. Great food, good coffee and beer in a relaxed cycle focused atmosphere. Small about of seating outside.

Great place to catch up with friends

Visited from Coventry and had a lovely coffee and bacon batch (roll?) with hash browns. Staff were friendly and helpful and food was just what I wanted. Will be back.

A fabulously quirky venue offering amazing food with excellent staff and a great atmosphere. What a little gem

Honestly, this place is brilliant. The burgers are second to none - best one was with pastrami and American mustard, very tasty. Really laid back, relaxing atmosphere and the service is fab. Great kids menu too. Going to make this my regular weekend haunt, the breakfasts are knock-out as well.

I love this place! If you want lovely staff, great tunes, fabulous ham and cheese toasties delicious cake, an ice cold glass of wine, comfy sofas in a dog friendly atmosphere, then this place is for you. Oh and they welcome cyclists too!!🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️

Nice place. Food menu looks good didn't eat just had coffee. Definitely worth a visit

Great cafe! Breakfast was delicious, and the service both efficient and friendly. Good portions and tasty home-cooked food. Would massively recommend the eggy bread. 😀

Excellent lunch time visit good value and lots of tasty food. Many thanks

Good food, comfy setting, friendly staff.

Fantastic little cafe, I'd say it's a hidden gem but is generally busy, so not that hidden.

Lovely place, great food menu, nice coffee, friendly staff. Family run, many of whom I now call friends. Good variety of street food get togethers such as Parmos, Pizzas and Gyros to name a few, keep an eye on social media for what's next. The bottleshop is always well stocked with something for everyone, some pretty niche, difficult to get hold of stuff too. A sanctuary for weather weary cyclists and dog walkers, although everyone and anyone will be made welcome. I've often taken advantage of the welcoming atmosphere to just spend a little 'me time' with a coffee and a piece of cake. For the cycling orientated visitors there's plenty to keep you interested, with memorabilia dotted about, magazines and books available. A modest kit shop with some custom/unique pieces available, as well as the now famous Pedalling Squares cycling kit. Let's not forget the Brassworks Bicycle Co, a bike shop and workshop with a retro/vintage bias but the mechanics are well versed in everything that comes through the door. They've supplied numerous components/spares, offered expert advice and carried out in-depth servicing for myself and a number of my friends. In summary, well worth a visit and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Friendly quirky good atmosphere and coffee

Unique menu, generous portions, great food, lovely staff. Their choice of background music creates a really relaxing atmosphere.

Quirky, fantastic place for good wholesome food. Friendly service. Inexpensive. Totally bike oriented and spellbinding. Downside....just a little bit chilly. You have to visit, if only once in your life, seriously.

Excellent food and quite a unique place , no complaints… and great staff

Cycling themed cafe. Lovely cup of coffee. Good choice of snacks. Pleasant staff and good service. Took some friends for their first visit as they are keen cyclists. They loved it

Great coffee and a great sausage bap my husband said. Very relaxed. We'll be back.

Really cool place! Relaxing, great music,comfy sofas,dog friendly, barista stout, lovely and great value food.staff couldn't be more chilled or friendly.will definitely go back very soon!💖

Lovely breakfast and coffee service was great too will be going back

Fantastic friendly atmosphere and great food and coffee.

Friendly atmosphere Great coffees

The best full english in the North East! Quality ingredients cooked perfectly, washed down with a big mug of tea. Lovely, quirky surroundings (even if your not a cyclist) & friendly service. Wish I could have managed a slice of cake - it looked lush 😍
