Split Chimp in North Tyneside

We often visit Tynemouth but this was our first time at Dil & the Bear. Can highly recommend. We had to sit outside because we have a dog, but that's ok as it was a sunny day and we like sitting outside anyway if we can. The cafe is lovely inside. We had great coffee and cake. We will return to this cafe next time we are in Tynemouth.

Visited for coffee and lunch. Dreadful. Terrible weak coffee wanted me to pay £4.40 for a coffee with an extra shot this would have only made you able to taste coffee. Lots of lovely places in Whitley Bay. Avoid

We were NOT made to feel welcome at all, as we did not have a booking. We were sent to the bar area but the bar man’s tone made us feel like we were an inconvenience. When we went to order we had the same challenge with the bar man, when we asked if we could upgrade our fries, he flat out refused. Then whilst waiting for our drinks we had to listen to two members of staff bitching and moaning about the place. Finally when we did get our food after quite a wait, the waitress that brought the dishes was wearing so much perfume that it ended up being all we could taste for the first few mouthfuls of our food. Such a shame as the decor is lovely, the food seems very good but the staff really let the place down. I’d give it a wide berth!!

Good sainsburys with a good range and an argos inside

Lovely place. So cozy and intimate. Beautiful interior and great coffee.
