Sands of Tyne in North Tyneside

Very nice cosy bar in Forest Hall, we'll be visiting again soon

We love it at sands of Tyne. They do extra hot drinks for my grandma. Always a nice welcome.

Great coffee and a lovely place

A gem of a hang out place , Service top notch , Coffee and cakes what more can you ask for. Been loads of time now its one of me favourite places to go to. Not to pricey but value for money.

No parking but plenty seating. Lovely place

Lovely coffee and sandwich x first time visit will definitely be back

Nice coffee. One of my favourite places to visit ❤️.

All around lovely place and atmosphere

First time visit. It won't be the last. Bacon sandwich, cup of tea. Very nice. Service was great too.

What a great little place. Popped in for the 1st time this am for some breakfast as i happened to be passing (borderline best bacon and sausage butty EVER btw) Great little place. Nice atmosphere and really nice staff. Will drag the Mrs back one night for something more.

What a lovely place. I have only had a coffee and cake here so far from the menu, but I've been back 3 times! Coffee is lovely with a wonderful selection of vegan cakes. This place is always busy very popular. They have a few seats outside on the street, I've always sat outdoors just to watch the world go by for half an hour. Staff are lovely, the place is dog friendly. Loyalty cards for drinks, sandwiches, and the menu look great

Called in by chance today. Wife said it was the best Latte she has had all week whilst holidaying in the area. I had a beer , sat outside, lovely. Service was warm and inviting. Will call again before we go home ,thanks.

A brilliant coffee shop. Attentive staff and lovey feel.

Our fave local, come here regularly for lunch and drinks. Always a good atmosphere and love the outdoor seating in the summer. Staff always friendly and helpful.

Very friendly and helpful staff

Lovely little place great staff food fresh and coffee

Lovely little nook, perfect place for a social meet or a work space if you need it. Lovely coffee and an array of cakes and slices on offer. Didn't eat but enjoyed a couple of drinks. The atmosphere was very relaxed and plenty of space. Service was quick and friendly.

Lovely little cafe right on our doorstep. Enjoyed my cappuccino but they have a huge array of choices. They also serve alcolhic drinks. Their beer/lager goes down well. I never sampled the food but friends enjoyed what they ordered.

Cracking place , become one of my new favourites , decent price , good selection of local beers to , nice selection of cakes ,

Lovely coffee, lovely toasties and nice staff!

Vibrant and tranquil local cafe and bar. Very highly recommended

This place has a good selections of wine and beers and a very nice vibe. We slways end up chatting with someone when ever we call in on way back from walking the dog. A European style cafe/bar maybe F/Halls Tabac

Gem of a place, great coffee, great service

I visited here recently, I had an amazing time. There was ample amount of hot drinks and pastries and cakes. They also do alcoholic beverages as well. Would recommend.

Really great place, a proper hidden gem, so lovely and lively everyone chats to each other. Drinks are nice, staff are great. It looks tiny from outside but it is deep and plenty seats.

Found this pub by complete accident. It a small venue but does have outside seating too. This was tremendous on the sunny day I was there. They do a good selection of food and have amazing baked goods and snacks at the bar. The choice of beers and prices were sensible. If your passing give this place a visit.

Absolutely love this place. Gorgeous coffee, and I'm picky haha. Me mam said the prosecco was great too. Nice touch with the fresh raspberry.

Lovely friendly atmosphere and staff very pleasant. Tasty coffee options and food also good. Worth a visit 👍

Great coffee, great atmosphere and a good selection of cakes/sandwiches. Dogs allowed also! Puppachinos available.

Called in to try the coffee, ended up ordering a panini and cake. Decent cappuccino, food menu a bit limited. Staff were slow brought drinks over but waited ages for food, not particularly busy. Panini was nice and hot, Bacon and sausage sandwiches were dry, overcooked and cold. Dog friendly so a plus and plenty of seating. Great alcoholic drinks selection.

Nice local coffee shop, with a cosy atmosphere and friendly staff. It also serves as a bar in the evenings.

Incredible Holy Saturday down at Sands Of Tyne. I've been coming for a while now, but was tempted to write a review after having such a great day. They had 505 Pizzeria out the back, the sun was out, drinks were flowing and we had great company. Friendly crowd, never any trouble, full of lovely well behaved dogs, everyone having a great time. Seats through the back, and was a good idea to reserve the table for such a busy night. The service is great and be back again soon. 10/10. Loved it.

I popped in with my mum and had a smoothie, chicken and chorizo panini and a hot chocolate. I thought the food was very nice and excellent value for money.

Great staff Always happy to make. My extra hot coffee for me and my dad. Lv this coffee shop

What happened to this place ? Went for two coffees today, Palm Sunday. Waited over 25mins, in which I had to get up and ask for the coffees to go as had an appointment. The girls behind counter didn't communicate with each other, walking around the coffee shop asking who ordered what. It was chaos. 2 people left in the queue and the service was so slow. To add insult, the coffee was cold when taken out.

Great for coffee in the morning and a relaxing drink in the evening

Only 1 person in queue before me ordered 1 coffee. I ordered cappuccino to go and waited 17 minutes?! Sat at the counter waiting. When staff were chatting on I asked how long it was going to be then they replied oh I’ll do it now ?!! Bad service. Been a few times. Too slow. Won’t be. Back.

Great food and atmosphere. Manages to be both a cafe and a bar v well

We use this cafe for our monthly coffee catch-ups, a great place to get out of the office. Lovely coffee and great friendly service.

Lovely coffee and staff friendly, however scones leave a lot to be desired, bought a cheese scone which had no cheese in just cheese on top and tasted a bit sweet, fruit scone had no fruit in. Make real cheese and fruit scones.also brownie we bought was rock hard had to send it back.

Great friendly place for an early morning coffee

Great little bat/cafe with a deceptive amount of seating inside. Whether you want a coffee and a snack or a beer from their decent selection, well worth a stop.

Nice staff, good atmosphere, cosy

Lovely atmosphere with lovely staff

Been here a few times and noticed that many items on the menu are often missing. Additionally, the option of cream and full fat milk are not given when drinking coffee.

Really snug and lovely atmosphere. Great for a midweek coffee or drink on a Friday evening!

Lovely hidden gem, good food and drink selection

Had been before and had a lovely experience but my visit today was very disappointing. They had run out of many food items, but I settled on a spicy meatball panini, however there were no meatballs in it just some small bits of meat. There was barely any filling in at all and next to no mozzarella totally dry and not worth my money.

Great place good atmosphere joe makes great coffee ☕️ 👌

A nice little bar/coffee shop where there really isn't any competition. The coffee and cake options are nice but it also has a decent range of draft beers and a selection of decent cans. Wine selection is nice and the place overall has a nice atmosphere. It can get pretty busy which is a good thing and there is an extra room at the back of you need more space. Overall, if you are passing, give it a try and I doubt you'd be unhappy.

Lovely to find a new place for coffee

Really nice coffee shop and coffee was good as well. Will have a crack and the cakes next time.

Clean and tidy with very friendly staff. Drinks reasonably priced.

Fabulous place to go for a cuppa and a natter or a glass of wine in the evening .quite quirky prices very good

Wish I could keep this little gem to myself , its fabulous! Shhhhhh don't tell anyone !

What a lovely hidden treasure. The coffee and service was superb. Well worth a visit.

Best pub in Forest Hall by a mile

Quirky coffee shop, with a range of craft beers. Perhaps one day they will serve a real ale !

Don't do full English breakfasts.

Great place for evening drinks. Fantastic friendly and relaxed atmosphere for all types of groups:

I didn't eat but the ales are really nice and the place has a good vibe!

First time here, brilliant place. Didn't realise how big this place is. Will definitely be back

Love this coffee/ale house! Great vibe, great selection of beers and then there is the cake!

Cute little local place, interesting drinks and nibbles. Lovely community place

Great little local independent coffee shop. That is also a tap house

Just in for drinks, nice local tap room with good selection of craft beers.

Lovely place for a coffee and catch up

Great little bistro, if you need a coffee or cake, cocktails or just a beer. Or just a light bite to eat you must try this amazing little find.

A lovely little gem in a desert. A must for an afternoon/evening drink.Great craft beers, lovely wines and a lovely chilled atmosphere. Will be back again.

Lovely coffee shop, really nice coffee and cake and super friendly staff, great place

Cracking little micropub with excellent staff and a great range of drinks.

I love the coffee here. Oat milk flat white, always made to perfection. They always have lovely vegan treat options too. The service is always fast and friendly. Definitely becoming a regular coffee stop for me and my friends ☕️🧁 They also have a good selection of books for customers to read which I just love!

Perhaps a little more expensive than I was expecting, still a nice place to visit for a morning coffee. Only ever visited during the morning, so can’t comment on what it’s like in the evening. Gluten-free snack/cake options are available, which while they’re not the best, I appreciate the effort. Dog friendly.

1st time visit. Lovely atmosphere. Can't wait to go back. Lovely friendly staff and management. Definitely suggest calling in if you are passing

This place is brilliant. Very classy range of drinks. Possibly not big enough anymore, very very popular. Best book a table if there is a group of you.

Wonderful shop with lovely staff.

A few too many dogs on my visits but otherwise perfect.

A fabulous new addition to the area. Highly recommended

Great place for a meet up and a beer or coffee etc.

Called in between appointments for a cappuccino which was very nice, lovely staff & nice relaxed environment

Lovely little coffee shop. Nice atmosphere and good coffee also dog friendly!

Lovely local for all ages. Whether for a cake and brew or few bevvies Fantastic little spot 👌

Had a great welcome. Coffee was excellent and the scones were fantastic. Great place to meet up, will definitely be going again.

Great to have a fab cafe for coffee or a glass of wine on the doorstep.

Absolutely love this little independent wine and tap bar! Top staff, top atmosphere and top prices. The hot chocolate is to die for too!

Excellent. Food was very tasty and dirty chai was amazing x

Great place, great service and great atmosphere. Just what the area needed.

Very nice place, lovely coffee especially. Great place to have coffee/snacks/lunch with little ones as there are books and games to keep them busy. More vegan options would be great as my husband didn’t get something and had to watch me and my little girl demolish a toastie and cake 😂 or maybe if you could view the menu online so you at least know whether there are any options or not?

I like to think of myself as a coffee connoisseur there is only one coffee cafe that compares to this establishment and I have been to many across Europe and that is in Tenerife sheer quality and great venue super value for money

First visit to Sands of Tyne today - tasty toasties, a warm welcome, and a great range of local beers in the fridges. I’ll definitely be back!

We often pop on for coffee the atmosphere us relaxed and friendly.staff very pleasant and owner always has time for a chat. Good coffee too just whst forest hall needed

Handy place for a coffee or alcoholic drink within walking distance. Haven't had food there so can't comment on that. Just what the area needed.

First time out tonight in sands of tyne. Friendly staff, good atmosphere, quality ipa, good tunes, great prices. Great addition to the local social scene.

Will definitely be back, this place is what Forest Hall has needed without knowing it. Love it

Good coffee,cosy place to enjoy it
