The Coffee Station in South Tyneside

Amazing little coffee shop ran by super friendly staff and serving beautiful coffee! Best coffee shop in South Shields without a doubt. Not to mention the chilli hot dog is to die for ☺️

We were looking for a light lunch in South Shields close to the hospital area , so searched google & found this lovely little place by chance and we were very happy with the results! Free street parking outside, proper home made food that we like to call " made with love" by the 2 lovely, friendly & helpful girls who run it. We thoroughly enjoyed our own order ( photos provided ) but salivated over everything we saw coming out in other orders! We chatted to locals who highly recommended the full English breakfasts & saw customers come in for the afternoon tea, which looked amazing with gorgeous scone options like chorizo,red onion & red Leicester cheese to choose from. At only £13.50pp with unlimited tea/coffee you can understand why it apparently won the best Afternoon tea in South Shields last year! Our order was 2 pots of tea, a prawn plate salad, a cheese & onion toastie & side salad with crisps, a millionaires shortbread & lemon & white chocolate sweet scone with cream & lemon curd only came to £19.90...unbelievable value! On a non food related note... It has a disabled access toilet & baby changing station, where they even supply small nappies & wipes, bless them . Apparently Village delights are ranked 3rd highest coffee shop by trip advisor but in our eyes it's definitely number 1 and we look forward to returning next time we are in the area.

Great service everytime Fresh food and great range of food to choose from.

I so wish I could give this place 10 stars as it throughly deserves it. I attended a new menu tasting night with my Boyfriend and Brother. The selection of real ales were amazing all so good, tried a few new ales loved them all. The food was second to none, the quality,freshness and the amount omg I defy anyone to be hungry after one of the flatbreads haha. My Brother and Boyfriend absolutely adored the Mexican hop dogs (not a typo haha) I was chatting with one of the staff and mentioned I was veggie and the first tasting platters were meaty. So they made me my own veggie platter just for me!!! I have been veggie over thirty years and this is only the second time something special was made for me!! So kind, thoughtful and touching they didn't let me be left out. Shows they genuinely care about their customers. The range of food for both veggie and meaty people is stunning, so fun, imaginative and inventive. The feta bread and blue cheese one were a complete revelation anyone needs to experience it. The Welsh rarebit was the best I have had, you could definitely taste the beer, it was creamy and tangy. I recommend it for a nibble alongside a pint haha. The staff were exceptional, made you feel wanted,valued and appreciated. We left feeling like old friends. Had a good giggle. Would highly recommend this to ladies for a lunch or evening out as it feels very safe and fun environment. The toilets were clean and well maintained. Also there was the original bread oven in there from when it was a bakery. Love the quirky decor. Will definitely return. I would be happy to go in alone.

La primera vez que visité anoche como nos recomendaron los amigos, condujimos 40 minutos y bien valió la pena el viaje, la tienda es absolutamente impecable y la comida es definitivamente la mejor alrededor, porciones de muy buen tamaño fui grande, pero definitivamente no necesité, ya que no pude terminar todo fue absolutamente precioso 100 por ciento volveré y le dirá a la familia y amigos que lo intenten X
