Rosies in Newcastle upon Tyne

Good quality ingredients, beautifully prepared - only one snag very salty. I am not sure if it was because of too much salt or MSG used in the dishes, however, it wouldn't put me off from ordering from there again. Didn't have to wait that long for the delivery either.

Enjoy visiting Rosies,always greeted with a smile and friendly service. Food always delicious and hot. Well worth a visit.

Esperé 2 horas para esto cuando dijeron que iba a ser 1 hora lo pedí a la mitad 6 lo obtuve a la mitad 8

Vivo muy cerca de Rosie's y siempre pienso que se ve encantador, sin embargo, cada vez que voy, el personal me parece bastante grosero / condescendiente y como si fuera un inconveniente con mi cochecito. Pensé que llevaría a mi hija sin su cochecito y volvería a intentarlo, ya que la comida es buena y me senté afuera, sin embargo, nuevamente me sentí incómodo por el personal, así que decidí no comprar nada y partir. Es una pena, ya que es el único café del parque.

He visitado tantos lugares para tomar el té de la tarde, tanto más baratos como más caros, y esto gana sin duda en términos de valor. Elección de bocadillos y buena selección de tartas. Estoy bastante alarmado por el comentario sobre racismo, pero creo que probablemente fue una mala actitud en lugar de racismo. Sé que la actitud del personal se ha mencionado en muchas ocasiones aquí y, aunque nunca la he experimentado personalmente, creo que conozco al miembro del personal al que se refiere la gente. No creo ni por un minuto que haya racismo, solo una mala actitud. Dicho esto, repito que nunca lo he experimentado personalmente.

I love the location as its near to my house but I have been subject to racism by the waiter as she refused to serve me even though I had a reservation. My mother also was subject to the same treatment just because she was wearing hijab and the waiter told her she had only one hour to sit and didn't take her order they had to wait for half-hour then another waiter took the order. It's shocking how they treat customers like this as this is pure racism!

We sat at a table outside in the park. The system is that first of all you must fill in a little form with a lead person giving contact details. The table is sprayed and wiped with antibacterial liquid. The menu is on the boards outside the door. We hadn’t realised this and were waiting for a menu to arrive, so maybe need to double check that everyone knows. The food was delicious, the staff were lovely and like us, they are feeling their way in managing the current situation. I have been there on several occasions and have always been impressed with the friendly service and the lovely food. Great to be back on such a lovely day. Thank you

Surroundings ok, food ok, but what an attitude! The waitress couldn’t tell us what soup was on, and wasn’t sure if it was ready anyway, so said she’d go and ask. When she didn’t come back, hubby asked another person (owner?) if the soup was ready - she snapped ‘if it was, we’d have told you!’ Won’t be going back...

Walked in to order a coffee and asked to pay before I sat down, the front of house lady was so rude moving her head to direct me to go sit down until I repeated that I wanted to pay first which was met with such a hostile reaction. She was incredibly unwelcoming, very rude giving off an unpleasant negative energy. Not what you expect to be greeted with walking into a cafe, I put my purse back in my bag and walked out of there - won’t ever be returning considering there are far nicer places to choose from in the area with much better service. I have to thank this place for helping me realise that atleast :)

Had a very nice brunch here on a Saturday- the atmosphere is very relaxed with plenty of assistants to tend to us. Wooden floors and tables gave the place an American feel. One wall is a window out on to gardens, which was unexpected for the centre of town. I noticed lots of young families so it must be a popular place for them. We were just passing through and found this place by accident. I would recommend!

After going into Rosie's once a week for the best part of the last two years, we have decided, "no more", the last 4 visits have resulted in wrong orders. After informing the waitress on each occasion that the bacon sandwich we wanted was just that, no olive oil, butter, spread or anything else on the bread, it would duly appear with one of the above on the sandwich, each time, it was sent back to be cooked again. I don't know if any of the staff are aware of the English language, but if the order is written down, then surely, the kitchen staff can read and follow it. But, "no", it's interpreted as something else and because of this, the order is sent back to the kitchen as soon as it arrives at the table. The owner is unbelievable, you never get welcomed with a, "hello" or "how are you today?" Just a fake smile and shown a table. I wonder if she really wants to be in the catering business, if not, she should stay at home. Rosie's is a lovely place, but is spoiled by snob for an owner and staff who don't want to be there.

I have been many times and always enjoy the food. Really nice atmosphere and staff are great. Will keep going back. Recommend the Pork and Apple Burger.

Decided to give Rosie's a second chance but experience was no better this time round but far worse than the first. My wife ordered the pork burger of which appeared half cooked, which was then swiftly returned to the kitchen only to be brought back a burnt burger which was barely edible as every bite was like eating burnt toast- To top it off, the waiter shared her wisdom to us that pork can still be ate pink but not beef.. I'll leave it at that We were reluctantly offered no charge on the burger which were weren't too fussed about as we just wanted to pay for our food and get out ASAP. Unfortunately we wouldn't consider the shop for fit for food but drinks are not bad.

Still no better gave Rosie's a second chance this year as my grandchildren love there chunky potatoe chips, I now go in and buy them to eat in the park or sit in costa and have a coffee while they eat their chips, where the staff in costa are amazing, come on Rosie's get some customer service training.

My friend & I tried to have a cup of tea here one lunchtime last week and we could see that it was quite busy. We were told in quite a curt manner that we could either go & sit at a table outside or wait for one inside. I pointed out that I could see an unoccupied table but was told it was reserved for someone. We decided to sit outside as it was a lovely day but when we got there, there was a small table but no chairs. The waitress seemed surprised that we were leaving and asked us why, I told her that we didn't want to sit on the ground. This is not the first time we've been disappointed by the staff's attitude. I came with my daughter last August for a cup of tea & a scone only to be told that the delicious looking scones on the counter were already sold/reserved for someone else. I've never ever come across that before where you can reserve food before you arrive. Why not take them off the counter where hungry customers can't see them. My impression of Rosie's I'm afraid is not a good one.

Esta es mi segunda revisión de Rosie y mi opinión no ha cambiado. He leído otros comentarios sobre la falta de calidez para las familias y los niños, pero simplemente no tengo esta sensación cuando visito. Por lo general voy con mi hermana y mi sobrina que ahora es 2. 5. Hemos estado yendo desde que ella nació porque mi hermana fue a una clase de bebés cerca. El personal (incluido el gerente) son siempre encantadores. Nunca es un problema conseguir una mesa y la comida siempre es de la mejor calidad y en comparación con algunos lugares que frecuento en la costa, creo que es muy razonable. Visité hoy y ahora estoy embarazada. El personal nos recuerda y me preguntó cómo estaba, muy agradable y nos dijo buena suerte cuando nos fuimos. Si las familias quieren algo como el capitán Ted, entonces estás yendo al lugar equivocado. Es un café encantador y tranquilo y siempre soy un cliente feliz cuando me voy. No hemos visitado tanto debido al cierre de la carretera Killingworth, pero una vez que esté abierto nuevamente, volveré a ser habitual con mi bebé.

Called on a Tuesday morning , being vegan there wasn’t a massive selection for us, had an almond latte and a falafel wrap and salad, partner had toast and marmalade with a coffee. Two young waitresses were very friendly and attentive , it is very expensive in here and you get small portions but the foods very nice. It’s usually packed full but there is a waiting area. Chef and older waitress looked sick of their lives ! (Or bored!). Been a few times and it’s nice for occasional visit but bcos they’re usually so busy end up going to costa instead !

Estaba buscando un café para servir el desayuno y encontré a Rosies en la zona comercial de Gosforth.  7. 50 para un inglés completo de calidad con salchichas, tostadas, huevo escalfado (u otro) 2 x rebanadas de tocino, champiñones frescos y pudín negro, ¡oh! y un tomate asado estaba delicioso y a muy buen precio. Personal atento y educado, cocina abierta a la vista y muy limpia.Definitivamente recomendaría Rosies. Más allá del desayuno, parecen tener otras delicias que no puedo comentar, ya que no las probé, pero los clientes que asistieron y los que llegaron parecieron disfrutar.

I've been with friends and my boyfriend for brunch and it's always good. The atmosphere is especially nice in summer when they serve ice cream and you can see out onto the park. I've always been able to get a table and find the staff quite friendly. The bacon sandwich with chilli jam is my favourite.

He visitado las tres veces de Rosie en los últimos 3 meses y no puedo creer lo grosera que es la camarera mayor (tal vez la gerente). Cada vez que visito con mi amiga y nuestros bebés. Claramente, no quiere bebés en la cafetería, ya que en cada ocasión nos dice que está demasiado ocupada a pesar de que hay mesas o nos pide que dejemos los cochecitos en la zona de espera. Afortunadamente, ambas veces nos tomaron el pedido y nos lo trajo una niña mucho más amable.

Esta fue mi cuarta visita a Rosie's en unos 6 años. Cada vez que me he sentido horrorizado por la mala educación del gerente / propietario, ¿de qué se trata todo esto? Cada vez que la memoria se desvanece y le doy otra oportunidad, hay otra incidencia impactante en el servicio al cliente. Como se mencionó en publicaciones anteriores, el propietario claramente no quiere que haya niños en la cafetería y tal vez debería anunciar esto. En esta ocasión, estaba con un viejo amigo, así que sentí que encajaba perfectamente con la demografía deseada. La joven que tomó nuestro pedido fue encantadora, pero nuestro pedido llegó y fue incorrecto, una pequeña cuestión del tipo incorrecto de fichas. El gerente / propietario entregó la comida y cuando pregunté por las papas fritas, ella discutió y se mostró inflexible en que habíamos pedido papas fritas delgadas cuando este no era el caso. Ella no había tomado la orden y no tenía absolutamente ninguna forma de verificar esto, y más al punto no lo verificó con su colega. Me sorprendió que ella estuviera preparada para continuar la discusión por algún tiempo, aunque se ofreció a regañadientes a cambiar los chips. En este momento el resto de nuestra comida habría sido frío. La comida era buena pero, una vez más, completamente opacada por la actitud del gerente. Realmente prefiero apoyar a los negocios locales y Rosie's tiene el potencial de ser excelente, es una pena que al gerente no le guste claramente trabajar con el público en general.

La primera visita a Rosies: llegó a la hora del almuerzo en un sábado ocupado y tuvo la suerte de conseguir una mesa de inmediato. Nuestro pedido se tomó con bastante rapidez y la comida y las bebidas se sirvieron en un tiempo muy razonable teniendo en cuenta lo atareada que era Rosies en ese momento. La comida era muy buena, pero me temo que el té del desayuno inglés era absolutamente horrible. . . tal vez una elección equivocada en nuestro nombre. Sin embargo, eso no nos impedirá regresar ya que tiene un ambiente tan acogedor y la comida era deliciosa.

Tuve que recoger una receta en Gosforth high street y tuve que esperar a que se cerrara el almuerzo, así que fuimos a Rosie's. Iv caminó varias veces, pero siempre he estado solo. Tuve un raro día libre con mi esposo, así que fuimos a tomar un café, ¡que se convirtió en bollo y té! Esta es una pequeña joya de lugar y estaba bastante ocupado. Nos dijeron que encontráramos una mesa y esperamos unos minutos para un menú, pero como era sábado, parecía que las chicas que estaban allí eran solo chicas del sábado. Íbamos a tomar un café, pero una vez que vimos los bollos y la crema coagulada decidimos que tendríamos eso. Esperamos unos 5 minutos cuando llegó el té, que estaba en pequeñas ollas con té real y un colador. El té era muy bueno. Luego llegaron los bollos y tienes la opción de queso o fruta que elegimos fruta, ¡pero ojalá hubiera elegido uno de cada uno! Los bollos eran enormes y una buena porción de mermelada y crema coagulada y sabían tan bien como se veían. Sí, 5 cada uno es un poco más caro que en otros lugares, pero vale la pena como dos tazas y media de té y dos bollos enormes. Debo regresar a la hora del desayuno y probar los huevos benidict mis favoritos.

He estado en Rosie en varias ocasiones. La comida siempre es buena y el personal más amable!

Great staff. Fast and efficient service. Price is the same or lower than other cafes on the high street. We have been over 5 times already and things just seem better and better. Every week I long for those eggs benedict on the saturday morning. Ill be there next week for sure. Granola and the waffle are very good as well. But those eggs...

Rosies is a little more expensive than the average restaurant but it really does not matter as there is no doubt it is value for money. The layout is excellent and, if you are fortunate you will get a seat by the window, but then again the whole restaurant is quite roomy. The food is cooked on the premises and consequently takes a little longer to serve. The staff are fine the I have no issue in this area, it seems as they are part of the family. My wife and I have little treats with the food and, on the last visit I had 2 poached eggs on toast and smoked salmon with tea. My wife had bacon on waffle with maple syrup. Delicious. I.'m not sure how anyone could have anything bad to sure about Rosies I enjoy it so much.

We have visited Rosie’s a few times - one thing that can’t be denied is that the food is tasty and it is a nice looking cafe. The problem is (as many have said before) the customer service. As tasty as the food is, it’s bad enough to stop us from visiting again. There seems to be some oddly strict rules for what should be a warm and welcoming cafe. On one occasion we arrived and asked for a table of four but as only two of us where there we were told we weren’t allowed a table (even though there were available tables) until the whole party arrived, so we had to wait in the entrance and consequently were unable to secure a table for my partners elderly parents as by the time they arrived, there were no tables left. Because of this, the next time I wanted to go, I called to book ahead for 11.30 and asked if it would be ok to order off the lunch menu at 11.45 (lunch menu starts at 12) as my grandma eats lunch early and we had a short amount of time to spare. I was told by the man on the phone that eating lunch instead of breakfast 15 minutes earlier than time stated on the menu was impossible.... so I said ok we’ll go elsewhere, and he chirped - ok great! I find this bizarre, there are lots of friendly local cafes that actually seem to want customers so we’ll be visiting them instead in future. Such a shame!

I have been to Rosie on more than several occasions, I visit most Tuesdays with my 4 grandchildren and sister, I spend a fair amount every week, the food is great the customer service is terrible, as previous reviews have said, I actually tried to make conversation with the manager when I was paying last week, I asked did she have children just making small talk, she nodded and didn't continue the conversation any further,she looked at me like I was an alien please read you reviews Rosies team as it is such a shame, I have seen the manager being nice to some of the more well to do people, I live in Gosforth to and perhaps not as old as your average well to do customer, but come on Rosies team up your customer service.Brenda Gosforth a very disappointed customer.

I visited with my 79 year old mother, my daughter and a friend. When we walked through the door my mother politely asked for a table for 4. The older waitress was very unpleasant and said she didn’t have any and told us we could wait, but was much keener for us to leave, and mentioned several times we could leave. Foolishly we said no we’d wait. Eventually we were seated after waiting in the massive waiting area (where there is probably enough space to seat 8 people). Once we ordered we waited 20 minutes just to get the tea we ordered and then waited again for the food, but at this point the restaurant was only about half full. The attitude of the older waitress awful, she was condescending and seemed to look down her nose at us on every interaction we had with her. This is such a shame as the menu offers some very good good food, that is just a little different, but not good enough to entice me back. I prefer to use small independent businesses where I can, but I think I’ll be going to the chain restaurant next time as the staff are much friendlier.

Visited today at 4pm with my 1 year old. Told to find my own seat. When the waitress came over (older one) I ordered a child’s sandwich then asked what cakes they had. The response was “well what do u like?” I said “well can u tell me what you have”. She said “no I can’t there’s ‘that many’ it depends what you want- cheesecakes, chocolate ones, lemon ones depending on your taste” in a very rude manner. In the end I said I’ll leave my baby at the table and look myself. Considering there was meant to be ‘that many’ the choice wasn’t very large. Just a lazy waitress who couldn’t be nice or bothered . So I ordered a cheesecake and when she went back to the counter she was obviously laughing and talking about me to her colleague blatantly so. Obviously loves her job going by previous comments on here or had an issue I came in with my baby and didn’t order larger meals. Whatever I won’t be returning.

Overall a really good afternoon tea somewhere we would happily return to. Everything was well presented and enjoyable, especially the scones. They were helpful to work around intolerances. I would like to see staff checking and offering to top up water on tea, and things like not having the high chair at the table as requested upon booking. We had a lovely visit and didn't feel rushed and enjoyed a wide selection of patisserie items.

I’ve been to Rosie’s many times. It’s consistently good, with pleasant home baking, some of which you can buy to take away. It’s also ok for a snacky type lunch with family or friends. It attracts lots of mums with babies and toddlers.

My wife and I have visited Rosies several times and every time it has been a pleasurable experience. The scones are delightful and the coffee is on the strong side, Today we had waffles with fried bacon smothered with maple syrup. Wonderful. The prices are a little high but well worth paying. The staff are excellent especially the cooks who cook before one's eyes.

Don't bother if you're more than 4, with children or European. You're just not welcome. Awful attitude

Lovely cafe, fresh in house cakes and lovely food! The staff are really lovely and the food is always delicious!

Have been into Rosie's a couple of times now; the last was for lunch last week which consisted of the Cheese & Spring Onion Flatbread and the Pork & Apple Sandwich. Both were great! We had the chocolate meringue to finish. Food is always lovely here and we usually sit beside the window which has a panoramic view of the park.

Have been to Rosie's twice now. The first time was a group of 5 adults, 1 toddler and a new baby. Advised we needed a big enough table to accommodate and was made to feel like this was a nuisance to them. They only gave 4 seats so when I dragged another over myself the lady (presumably manager/owner) marched over to ask why I was moving the chairs, I advised her this was because we were one short. Didn't think this would have been an issue, but moving even just one chair seemed an ordeal for her. The cafe was about half full, so not like we were disrupting anyone else. Anyway, we ordered, and no complaints about food or drinks, was really pleasant and actually really reasonable. The menu was actually quite unusual and this made a nice change. Paying the bill was the next ordeal as they were quite rude about us splitting it not down the middle and just generally seemed to be making things difficult. Anyway, 2nd visit was me and a friend with our two babies. We arrived at Rosie's to find the same lady behind the till. It was extremely quiet, with only 3 other tables occupied (so approx 80% empty) and were told as we had our two prams they were unable to accommodate us as the only table suitable for 2x pushchairs was already in use. It was obviously not an option to use one of the many free tables and move one along slightly. We left, so didn't get to sample anything that day and won't be going back. Friends have had similar recent experiences at Rosie's and from reading other reviews it seems they are extremely unfriendly towards families/children in prams. Shame as Gosforth is so busy with Mums and Babies as there are many baby groups on in the area. In complete contrast we went to the Trinity Church cafe where the male member of staff dashed over to help us move some seats to accommodate both prams, brought some coffees over to us (despite it not actually being table service, he was just being helpful) and it was no surprise that in our time in there it became really busy, whereas Rosie's was still practically empty when I walked back to the car park.

Me encanta, yo a menudo Rosie's pop en un bocado para comer cuando yo trabajé en la zona. Tés de hierbas son geniales, buenos sandwiches, scones encantador.

Acabo de pasar 45 libras en una comida que en general no está mal para el precio, después volvimos a comprar helados para llevar. La verdad es que los niños estaban emocionados y dispuestos a conseguir sus helados, sin embargo en el medio de la organización de ellos en el archivo individual y preguntando lo que les apetece helado, nos hablan de un miembro femenino del personal que era pésima, Grosero y brusco. Este observado por otros clientes que eran igual de impactado. Seguro para decir que se pasar más dinero en este café de nuevo.

We have visited this café in Gosforth on a number of occasions but after calling in today we will not go again.At 4.30 me and my husband called for a coffee before we get back on the bus to Cramlington.A few tables were taken and as we walked in the door the two grubby looking female members of staff were muttering.I asked for the two coffees and as she wrote our order down she said we close in half an hour!.To say I was taken aback at this less than necessary piece of advisory would be an understatement.I told her we wouldn't bother and left.For staff to have the audacity to speak to customers(who keep these places open) in this manner is beyond my comprehension.Judging by recent comments I am surprised these members of staff are still employed.

He visitado Rosie's en dos ocasiones, ambas con un amigo y nuestro años. En ambas ocasiones he encontrado el personal muy poco acogedora. Seguros si sólo no eres bebé amable o generalmente desagradable. De cualquier manera no volveré.

Comenzaré este descuento positivamente, cuando la atención personal a pagar son buenos. Amable y educado. Problema es que no prestan mucha atención. Dicho esto, me di cuenta de otras personas para conseguir un servicio atento, así que quizás era algo que yo, como querer comprar comida?

El Twist es que si quieres comida sin gluten té por la tarde consiste en 'nada adecuado en el menú pero sin pan, o un bollo o el té tarta.

Usually our experience here is fine but this time, the coffee was almost transparent. Not very coffee-like at all. My wife and I looked at each other and shrugged. Maybe it would taste good. The cake was nice and the service was speedy and courteous. We said nothing.Did not finish the coffee, went to counter to pay and mentioned that the coffee was very weak. We left most of it.There was no apology or attempt to empathise in any way. We were told we should have asked for an extra shot!! As if it was us who were at fault!!Ah well, that is the last time I will go there and will certainly not recommend it.Bye bye Rosies.

The food is excellent, cooked to order, always tasty. Afternoon tea is a must if you want a great selection of treats. The staff really need to smile more! They are polite but quite slow.

This modern restaurant manages to create an atmosphere of both old-fashioned tea shop, modern family-friendly, plus arty. The food ranges from £4 for soup and roll to £8 (nothing costs more than this) for steak sandwich and chips. There are many interesting items on the menu, such as mackerel pate with dill pickles on pitta bread, eggs Royale, Florentine or Benedict, pork and aplle on toasted granary sandwich...It is spacious, the staff are friendly and helpful, and it has highchairs. A baby was in a pram, and a man was in a wheelchair. Cards accepted. A nice quiet place to rekax with good views over the park, and ice-creams on sale. I loved the Russian tea with lemon.

Food in here is absolutely delightful and would warrant 5 stars so hats off to the chef. The service however is dreadful. The team are really unwelcoming and let you find a table yourself yet the sign says wait to be seated . They really all need a training night in some customer service. The speed and pace of the service is really slow and the staff don't seem to really care . Shame because it is a beautiful location and food is fantastic.

Very friendly owners and staff who understand gluten-free well.A varied menu for any time. Good catering for events.Excellent gluten-free chocolate brownie and really good coffee.Review based on several visits at different times of the day.

We have been to Rosie's a number of times. The food is among the best of its type in Gosforth, but the front of house welcome is consistently mixed. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with us having young kids but the feeling is that they would rather turn our custom away than welcome us in. Perhaps they should be up front and apply a lower age like limit for their customers. An alternative approach would be to look happy when people arrive at the cafe rather than giving the impression that they are doing you a favour by letting you in!

Popped in for breakfast and had dippy egg which was delicious treat along with great coffees. Apple cake was to die for.

One of my party suffers from a nut allergy, staff were made aware upon our arrival. After sitting we were approached by an older member of staff who made the person with health problems feel humiliated snd embarrassed. We felt she was hostile and unsympathetic I feel if we left she would have been pleased. I realise eating establishments feel they have to cover themselves when dealing with allergies, but come on Rosies there are better ways. Perhaps your staff should undertake some staff training. We went to another restaurant/cafe in Newcastle the next day - no problems whatsoever!

Visited for the first time with a friend who is a regular. She had reserved a table by the window at the end overlooking the park. They open up onto the terrace in nice weather. There is a good menu of tasty bits and pieces. We had an eggs benedict with spinach, and crushed avocado on toast with poached eggs. Then two coffees. The cake and buns look tasty too.Lovely friendly helpful staff too.Definitely going back soon

What an awful experience me and my friends had here. Four of us went in with babies, no staff helped us and when we asked what cakes they had we were told 'get up and have a look for yourself' whilst we all had babies in arms. Disgusting customer service and everyone I know with children tell me they wouldn't set foot in here. Stuck up staff, unwelcoming, unfriendly and unhelpful

Took my dad for lunch today and it was a lovely warm welcome on a very dark cold November afternoon! The lunch specials and all day sandwiches give plenty of choice as well as afternoon teas after 3pm I think it is. It's good value and the food is prepared fresh but quick. We had a bacon sandwich which was served on lovely fresh granary bread and a grilled chicken courgetti pesto dish off the specials. That was £8 which is quite a lot for a lunch dish but the courgetti pesto base was delicious, it just needed a bit more chicken and it would have been perfect! The selection of cakes were too tempting to refuse so we shared a chocolate brownie filled with white chocolate pieces, it was faultless and good value at £2.65. I definitely recommend Rosie's for a cosy winter lunch and will be back soon!

I visit here most weeks with my sister and her baby girl. I am so shocked to read some of the reviews as we always have a positive experience! The staff are always friendly and even though we have a pram, they are never rude and always accommodating. It probably isn't aimed at children yes, but they never make a fuss and we are happy to return each week. The food is 5 stars - always absolutely delicious and we love the choice. Often we treat ourselves to cake too! People have obviously had a mix of experiences here but I've been a good 10-15 times and always a happy customer!

Lovely café with great views over the park and a nice menu choice. We were only their for drinks but I'd like to go back to try the food.

Lovely surroundings, great food. The service was ok nothing to write home about. We had a pot of early grey and afternoon tea. It was all very nice and at a reasonable price.

I absolutely love it here and it never fails to impress me. The food is always fresh and delicious. I've tried lots of things over the tens of times I've been here and they never disappoint me, whether it's breakfast or lunch or tea. The staff is friendly and cheerful.

This was my second visit in a few weeks having decided to give them a second chance after my first visit. I have six month baby and therefore a buggy. On both visits I was asked if I was coming "for lunch or just coffee and cake" what does it matter?! I am still a paying customer and need a seat and table for both! Also, they pride themselves on their cakes/scones etc so surely you would encourage the cake and coffee guests?! Anyway this is irrelevant as both times I was eating lunch! They weren't overly helpful with buggy and said there wasn't much space even though, as other reviewers have stated, there were others with buggies at their table. And it's not the fact there's not much space, we get that, we know buggies are a pain! But be a little more positive when stating this and politely as us if we could leave buggy e.g. If baby old enough for High chair etc.Waitress service varied but on the wHole could have been friendlier, and perhaps more knowledgable in terms of the menu/cake options or at least provide a list to save us having to get up and look at the counter. Or recommend us something!. Food was pretty good (I had the tortilla and salad) and cake and coffee nice too (I opted for some almond Italian treat!).Given the location of the cafe, right beside the park and in the centre near a children's play area I really feel this cafe needs to be more friendly and accommodating towards mums. Customer loyalty can be earned equally from guests only coming in for a morning coffee as those who eat lunch. And it's such a beautiful setting, don't ruin it with poor attitudes.With the new competition of the naked deli next door, I strongly suggest Rosie's up their customer service training and change their attitude to mums to ensure they remain competitive .

I took my 7 yr old daughter and 1 yr old son out for what was supposed to be a treat lunch. What a disappointment, I felt unwelcome from the moment we stepped in to the cafe. From being told that they don't really have space for buggies so could I leave mine near the door ( then seeing others who had their buggies near their tables), we weren't offered a children's menu for my 7 yr old and it was only when we read the small print of the raggy 8 page menu that we realised there was a childs menu. The tea was loose leaf and tasted awful, the scones were hard, the food was basic considering the price. I wouldn't go here again if you paid me, I spent the entire time feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable. There are so many better places in Gosforth.

A nice spot for breakfast or lunch. Have been with my husband, with family and with friends and have always enjoyed the food. Good menu selection, and will go again to try out the afternoon tea. Cakes all look delicious, and I especially recommend the chocolate chip shortbread - so buttery!Can be quite hard to get attention of any staff when you're sat down if you want to order more drinks or dessert, so may not be ideal if you're restricted to set time for a lunch break.A request - please extend the breakfast menu finish time a bit more so it works for a brunch visit!

I have tried to give this cafe another chance; however, I find (who appears to be either the owner or the manager) very offish indeed. Everything always seems to be a bother for her. Whether it is getting a table, sorting personalised needs out for customers or just general care and attention for a service that is disproportionately costly versus quality of outcome. I think perhaps the worst thing of all is the lack of personal care for her customers. The setting is nice, particularly the tables overlooking the park; however, the service is absolutely terrible. The woman in charge has a very austere demeanour and she can come across as very rude and unconcerned-every time I have been there. The phrase that comes to mind every time I go in there is "this place would be great if not for the customers".

Always busy in here. Right next to gosforth park. Lovely teas and cakes but quite expensive. Waitresses are hit and miss. Some friendly some grumpy !

I've visited this cafe on a couple of occasions, the food is excellent, and a very good selection. My sister and I had sandwiches which were great, the only downside neither of us could manage a cake after, and the selection brilliant, can't wait to go back for tea and cake. Friendly helpful staff, lovely views out to Gosforth Central Park, I would highly recommend this cafe.

My daughter & I called in for a cup of tea & a scone. It was mid afternoon and there were plenty of empty tables. We chose to sit at one of the outside tables which overlooks (or rather is part of) Gosforth Central Park. The service was good and the scones & tea were delicious. It was a lovely place to sit on a hot sunny day. We would go back again.

Delicious fish and chips and brownie overlooking the park. Lovely staff and very kind when our baby was a bit sick on the floor. Can't wait to come back to try the rest of the menu.

We popped in here for our morning coffee..... given its location it is busy. Lovely to sit and look out over the park. Good selection of cakes and scones. I was offered a humous and .red pepper salad as aI avoid gluten - very tasty Parking available nearby 30p per hour.

Il locale e' molto accogliente ed in stile shabby chic, molto curato. Abbiamo ordinato del pollo grigliata con spaghetti di zucchine e toast con avocado ed uovo. Tutto ottimo. Anche le torte e le proposte per afternoon tea con panini e dolcetti sembravano buonissimi. La presentazione dei piatti e' molto curata ed invitante. Il posto e' frequentato in particolare modo da famiglie con bambini ed ha una vista su un bel prato del parco.Il personale e' molto gentile.

If you want a rock hard scone this is the place to go. Was really disappointed as from looking at reviews on here it seemed like a good place to go.

Often stop in at Rosie's for lunch/brunch - and we always love the food.The pork belly, fish finger and steak sandwiches are particularly delicious, with some fries on the side of course!LOVE the eggs benedict, and their scones are yummy for afternoon tea.Great, comfortable, family atmosphere and sweet staff.

Made my return visit as promisedEverything was perfect Lovely staffLovely coffeeBeautiful foodStill no signal or wifiBut who cares !!

A great place to stop off for lunch or coffee, with lovely home baking. Located in the (dubious) shopping centre in Gosforth, this is an oasis! It faces on to the park, so has greenery to look at. Really pleased I found it.

after a day in jesmond and gosforth ,we decided to stop for lunch . after passing this bistro earlier , we called in . it was nicely set out and the food looked delicious . we both had eggs benedict which was delicious , the tea was leaf not tea bag ,very refreshing . the staff were friendly and attentive . when in gosforth this is the place to eat .

Popped in at 330pm just fancied a coffee and eggs Benedict , as I sat down was told no hot food they stop at 330 ;( (Open till 530 I think ) So had to make do with a coffee and choose a cold sarnie . Though what a lovely sarnie , salmon and cream cheese mmm plenty of both could maybe do with a few crisps or Doritos on the side but a very very fresh and tasty sarnie I will be back soon and before 3pm to get those eggs Benedict ;))

If you don't go into the inside precinct in the centre of Gosforth, you will miss this lovely place.Clean and light cafe looking out on a park.Heavy wooden tables and chairs. Interesting sandwiches, cream teas and lovely home made scones and cakes. Far too many to choose from...They have every type of tea you can think of and many coffee choices also.Well worth a visit

I've always liked popping into Rosie's occasionally but really feel they've upped their game recently. Their breakfast menu is top notch and their afternoon tea is spot on. My wife and I were hugely impressed.

Called in for a quick bite, as for once there was a table I could see available and was curious as to why this place was always so busy.Ordered a diet coke and the avocado on granary with 2 poached eggs. The staff were lovely, the venue very relaxing.My food came and It looked very nice. It was very tasty and just as I hoped with one problem. Yip the poached eggs were hard!!! Disaster!!!!If those eggs were cooked as I am sure Rosie's warrants, my lunch would have been out of this world.I will be back because I just need to ha ha..Small niggle, no wifi or Vodafone signal, but to be honest I think i enjoyed it better that way..

I've been here several times at various times of the day. The menu is perfect for breakfast and lunch. Food always fresh tasty and well presented. Staff always very nice and helpful. You sometimes have to wait for a table but it's worth it. Really like this place!

I think the two reviews below this and the photographs they have attached refer to somewhere else.Rosie's is a lovely little coffee shop and bakery. We enjoyed friendly and efficient service with a view over Gosforth Central Park and fresh flowers on the table. It is tastefully decorated and fresh feeling.They serve a variety of teas, those we tasted were good. We also enjoyed a lovely scone with jam and cream, just as you'd want it.Nothing negative to say, we could fit the double buggy through the door and between the tables. It was quiet but not dead and the couple sat behind us were clearly regulars as the waitress merely confirmed their order rather than took it. A good sign!!

Nipped in here whilst visiting for the Chinese New Year celebrations and was impressed by the pub. It's not a large pub but I think that adds to the atmosphere in there. Nice tiling on the walls with quirky "family heads" above the bar, large TV, warm pub with friendly staff and in a good location on the edge of China town. I believe it was £3.70 for a good cold pint of Coors lite

Always popular on match days due to its location. Small bar with a good atmosphere, good range of beers and quick service.

A really nice place to eat with a great view over the park at the rear so don't be put off by the shopping centre entrance. Food was very good though initial service was somewhat slow.

I have called this review Gosforth High because this is a lovely little restaurant that is one of the highlights in Gosforth. Easily missed, it's tucked away in the shopping centre next to Sainsburys. Often busy, which speaks for itself. Recently re-decorated.I love Rosie's because the atmosphere is always buzzing, a great place for friends to meet over lunch. I always go for the fish finger sandwich because I enjoy the simplicity of the idea, yet it's delicious and very filling.If you are lucky enough to get a window seat then you can watch the world go by with a nice cuppa.Go visit and support this lovely little local.Thanks for a lovely lunch Rosie's, much appreciated and enjoyed.

What an excellent afternoon tea. The staff were so accommodating and helpful allowing us to change the sweet choices to savoury mmmm!We had ham hock and grilled halloumi sandwiches, homemade sausage roll, cheese scones, pots of panacota and banana bread. Washed down with a nice pot of Earl Grey Tea. All delicious.

Stopped for a quick lunch before Christmas. A good selection on the menu, I had steak sandwich with onion marmalade, my hubby had smoked salmon on an open sandwich, which he said was delicious. Have been here a number of times over the years and staff are always pleasant and helpful. You can see the food being prepared and it all looks very enticing. A lovely addition to the high street which appears to be a favourite haunt for locals.

Nice decoration, but let down by the poor coffee and fish finger sandwich which was just a battered fish cut in strips ,fish fingers should be nice pieces of white fish cooked in a breadcrumb not a piece of battered fish stuck in a sandwich.

Brought family here for a spot of breakfast. Had the salmon and scrambled eggs which was really nice. Brother in law had full English and the bits I tried of his were very tasty (might have to have that next time I go). Staff friendly and let us move tables to a better one when one came free. Nice decor and view of park. Will return.

Mid morning coffee catch up with a friend. Waste of time and money going here. Scones were rock hard and dry and the bases were nearly black! Very hard getting service even though our table was right in front of the till area. We reluctantly paid (against my better judgement) and decamped to Costa Coffee.

This is far better than the usual cafe you find in a boring shopping centre. The decor is smart and stylish. It is well spaced out and the large windows looking out on the grassed area is an excellent feature. You forget you are in that dull shopping centre. The food looked lovely, especially the cakes but as we only wanted a snack, we opted for the exceptionally tasty and reasonably priced warm rustic sausage roll. I was disappointed they did not serve syrups with the lattes and the mocha was quite bitter so maybe I'll stick to basic coffee or tea next time.

We visit Rosie's for brunch all the time and are never disappointed with the food or the service. Only downside is they are closed on Sundays

Afternoon tea at Rosies never disappoints. For £9.50 you get a choice of 3 finger sandwiches, a fruit scone with jam & cream & 4 different cakes with a pot of tea or coffee. It can get very busy so be prepared to wait until a table is available. You can also purchase cakes etc to take away. I have always found the staff to be friendly & helpful.

I love this place. The menu isn't extensive but there's something for everyone. Very pleasant surroundings and friendly efficient staff make for a very enjoyable experience.The tables at the rear have a great view and the cheese scones (I always buy some to take home) are delicious.

This used to be one of my stand-by favourites when I'm in Gosforth, but whilst the food and service is good and it has a nice atmosphere, too often I just can't hear the person I'm with for the general noise level. (It's also favourite for young mums )

At only £10 this has to be one of the best afternoon teas in the city.There is a choice of teas, and you choose your round of sandwiches.There are two scones with clotted cream, and three superbly presented cakes and desserts.Very quirky. Very individual.

This is a great place for lunch, or even just a coffee and cake. It is always friendly, and has a pleasant view over Gosforth Central Park. The food is always excellent, and more interesting than most places.

Have dined in this little café a few times and think the food quality is great as well as having a lovely view of Gosforth park. Love the cream tea they offer and find it well priced.

Me, my family & our friends who were up visiting from London were enjoying a lovely family day out when we decided to go for a Coffee & bite to eat at Rosies. To our disbelief were refused entry because we had prams even though there was four empty tables, one of which was a large table. The female member of staff just didn't seemed interested in our custom being more determined to not let us into the cafe. It makes me wonder if they would of turned us away if we would of had wheel chairs with us instead of prams. Safe to say we shall never be returning there again. Disgusting customer service.

Always impressed with the food and the cakes here. The scones are amazing and the afternoon tea is lovely and well priced compared to some of the more expensive (and not as good) places in Newcastle. Staff are very quiet but usually nice enough. One current staff member in particular we are not so keen on.. not very friendly and definitely does not like to chat. Almost acts a but stuck up which is a shame. Other than that will definitely keep coming back for a weekend treat!! Shame it's not open on a Sunday actually!

Nice atmosphere and facilities.Good for a coffee and cake but the menu is limited if you have a basic palate

It's good to see a popular, good looking cafe being in business in the little shopping centre in Gosforth. The whole place is dated but he cafe has a positive impact on its surroundings. The place is popular, most times I pass by and tables are usually full, so large groups may be disappointed if they just turn up expecting a seat straight away. Me and my friend arrived and waited about 5 minutes for a seat.Our drinks, scones and veggie sandwiches were great, even though I waited a little longer for my sandwich it was worth the wait.
