The Factory Kitchen in Newcastle upon Tyne

Lovely breakfast in the gallery cafe. Great service

I’ve been visiting The Factory Kitchen and The Biscuit Factory for a while now and always have a fab experience.

Had a really nice afternoon tea for two. The staff were very polite, friendly and helpful.

Food excellent and very reasonably priced. Staff very friendly Lovely experience and be back again

Supper club so set menu. Excellent food and really good value. Highly recommend.

First experience of a supper club event and was not disappointed, loved the whole experience.

Very accommodating staff. Great food and lovely warm atmosphere. A pleasure to dine here.

Staff very friendly, always make you feel welcome. Food great, beautiful venue

Overall lovely experience. Staff very helpful, food delicious

Private party, fabulous place,lots of different sized rooms for different sized parties all within an Art Gallery

Nice place and excellent service

First visit and we will definitely return. Food delicious (veggie breakfast x 2, apple/cinnamon cake, choc brownie). Glad we booked in advance.

My favourite place for lunch in Newcastle

We love looking at the art then lunch in the Factory Kitchen - today's special was lovely, as was the arancini. The staff are always really friendly and accommodating. Thank you!

Great lunch today. Avo toast for me was delicious - lime and chilli with seeds made it very tasty. Companions wanted aranchini but they were sold out, so had soup and quiche instead. But then they brought 3 aranchini which were left…as a little extra. Apparently they were delicious but I didn’t get one!

It was my birthday so booked it without telling the staff . The service was brilliant. Food excellent. It was my 2nd time having brunch here . My kids and husband 1st time and they loved it too .

The terrace is a lovely setting and there is a good choice of food and drink. We enjoyed the dishes that we had. However, they should list ingredients accurately on the menu. I ordered a Raspberry Cobbler cocktail. The ingredients were listed as Chambord, vodka, peach puree and lemon. I thought that the cocktail had a surprisingly bitter taste, but assumed that it had a lot of lemon juice in. I was also surprised that it seemed fizzy but again thought that perhaps lemonade had been added. After I had finished the drink, I felt my skin start to itch a little and I realised that the strong bitter taste must have been quinine and that tonic water had been added to the cocktail. I have a mild allergy to quinine - it causes skin irritation - and I would never have ordered this cocktail if I had known it contained it. I double checked the menu - tonic water definitely not listed as an ingredient. I spoke to a member of staff who casually acknowledged that tonic water was an ingredient in the cocktail but not listed on the menu. You know, this is really not acceptable. My allergy is not severe, but some people could have reacted really badly to this. I was offered "a scone" but not a refund of the cocktail and I really just wanted to leave and get some fresh air. Now that I have reflected on this experience, I thought it was really important to bring it to the attention of the restaurant and to potential customers in the hope that the management will act on this and list ingredients in their products precisely and accurately on their menus.

Loved the tomato soup. So fresh and flavoursome. WONDERFUL Art. So worth a visit.

A lovely brunch, served by professional friendly staff. Already looking forward to my next visit.

Great food and great building. The manager went out of his way to rectify the music noise for one of our guests. Thank you.

Had an afternoon tea which was really varied and tasty, all dishes were excellent. Staff were very attentive and knowledgeable about the food. My wife is coeliac and the chef prepared alternatives which was above and beyond what we expected. This made my wife's afternoon as we could sit and enjoy similar food together which is usually not the case, other coeliacs will understand how this is important. Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon.

We had a really nice lunch once again, the Quiche and salads were delicious tho the sandwich wasn’t as special as usual, lacked flavour in the white bread. Was there a choice of breads? But anyway, the Apricot Frangipan was delicious with ice cream on the side. Staff all very friendly and helpful. We will be back soon, thank you!

Such a lovely place. Great service, excellent food and a fab outdoor terrace.

Excellent food in a fabulous setting. So nice to see the art at the Biscuit Factory and then head upstairs for lunch. The soup changes every week. This week carrot, cumin and fennel, a generous bowl of piping hot homemade soup with warm hunks of Sourdough bread for 6 pounds 50. Highly recommend. Oh, and there's free water. A big environmental deal for me I hope you found this review helpful

A great place to meet friends and family. There is the interest in seeing all the varied art work, ceramics, jewellery etc and having the opportunity to purchase. The cafe has a very friendly ambiance. It is bright, clean, comfortable seating, with helpful and responsive staff. There is a small range of interesting light bites to suite all tastes, with delicious cakes & Icecream as well. Great for brunch, lunch or just a coffee & a cake.

We had a wonderful afternoon. The afternoon tea was beautiful with excellent service - very attentive. We were offered a cake box, but the food was so delicious we finished it all!

Lovely, reasonably priced food. We both had sandwiches and they were really delicious and generously sized. The side salad was a wonderful surprise - rocket, pea shoots and pickled red onion - a bit of a step up from the usual limp lettuce and I really enjoyed it! Coffees also really good. We sat on the outside covered balcony which was warm with views of the city. Service was quick and efficient, staff pleasant and friendly.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Gorgeous mother-and-sister lunch today at The Factory cafe. Everything was freshly, and we left feeling satisfied with very happy tummies 🥰 This is the vegetarian sandwich special (roast squash, feta, tomato pesto and rocket) with my chosen daily salad. The menu changes daily. All salads are well considered (not the typical tomato and leaves combo) and delicious on their own. Really helpful and patient staff who were prepared to deal with any allergies/intolerances.

Fast service, great food, friendly staff! Every part of the full English was uniquely flavoured and the portions are huge for the price!

Good selection to choose from on the menu

Very good museum cafe with good coffee and cakes. Bright and airy space with open views.

Lovely food service very good. Would recommend booking a table.

We had a lovely time at The Factory Kitchen, we first started out having a look around the art downstairs in The Biscuit Factory, then headed to the top floor for some brunch. We ordered, a coffee, avocado on toast and a leek and cheese toastie. All was delicious, but the toasty was VERY leaky, but I guess we should have expected that. Would definitely return as its a lovely setting, with so much to try.

It’s a Cafe upstairs within an art gallery which is a really nice space that was fun to look around, with some unique pieces of work. aesthetic looking food which was freshly made with good ingredients, very flavourful with Gluten Free and Vegan options available, plus they offer an afternoon tea as well. However the actual cafe lacked aesthetic and decor, the space was stark and it was giving old people corner cafe, the look of food didn’t match its venue and all the views were of old run down buildings. This was highly disappointing as I wanted to go somewhere that was nice for a special occasion and heard a lot of good things bout this place, but the actual cafe space was underwhelming and crummy. Needs major interior decoration! To conclude; nice food, nice gallery, poor cafe venue.

Nice atmosphere, lovely helpful staff,very friendly people,in the cafe,& art centre

Deeply annoying as you have to wait to be seated which usually seems unnecessary. Today we waited for a while, a guy eventually came who wasn’t particularly warm and told us and others we would have to wait (and weirdly called my very female friend sir!) even though we could see loads of tables free When we have got in we have been happy with good food and great views but why do they insist on waiting to be seated for a cafe. Make it more Informal

Lovely setting for a super tasty lunch. Very good food. Great coffee. Clean, modern and quick friendly service. Fruit scones were super yum

Pleasant surroundings and sometimes good food - bit of a mixed bag. The three salads on offer were all made from cooked vegetables, none the salads were raw. My salad plate was unusually spicy for a Mediterranean style dish (runny nose hot), which didn't really work for me. The pear frangipane was far too dense but my partner's quiche and carrot cake were very good. Presentation was quite good. Disappointed with the half-hearted tea offer (low quality default tea bags and what is described on the menu as speciality loose tea is actually in pyramid tea bags and a very limited selection of flavoured teas). Overall not a bad place to hang out and eat, but it didn't live up to my expectations based on other reviews.

We'd booked a table but still had to wait in queue to be seated which was a bit bizarre .... however, once seated, the menu was good and we chose a cocktail and large salad plate. Both were very very good. However, I just can't get my head round what this is supposed to be. It's like a European cafeteria. You have to queue to order food and drinks, which is then delivered to table. And no option to open a tab for future drinks / cake / coffee. The whole process is a bit slapdash and the space is lacking atmosphere but I couldn't fault the quality of food and drinks.

Have came here a couple of times now for Brunch, easy to get to (easy parking), lots of spaces and clearly quite popular. Quality of food is excellent while service was friendly and swift. Would be nice to see a few more options on the menu - particularly veggie is quite lacking.

Great food and service. Prices are good for this quality of ingredients. Also, what an amazing art space. We’ll be back !

Unusual setting, simple café but with fresh, tasty food that is just a little different and with soups, salads and cakes that change weekly, is a regular visit for us.

Excellent food, nice atmosphere. We had pre-booked a table but had to wait in a que to be allocated a table. Should not have to wait, especially as there were plenty of tables available

I remember coming to the Biscuit Cafe about 20 years ago. I tried to come a couple of years ago but it was closed on a Tuesday I think. I got lucky today and we came for lunch. I had fried eggs and hash browns on a stottie and my wife had the Mediterranean taster platter. We had a side order of Merguez sausages. The platter and stottie were excellent - great quality, a large portion and very reasonably priced. The sausages were very nice but at £3 rather expensive.

Having recently eaten here, I want to give an honest review. We visited about 10:30 Saturday morning, more free tables than those taken. Having ordered, we waited quite some time for the wrong order to be brought out. We pointed out that one of the dishes was wrong and it was taken away. About 5 minutes later the same dish was returned to the table and again we explained it was wrong. The waitress took it away leaving the two remaining dishes going cold and no explanation. My partner went to the till to ask what was going on whilst at the same time the manager (we think) came over and told us the the waitress was deaf and he would sort it out. About five minutes later he returns with the card machine (and no food) to correct the bill and it then takes at least fifteen minutes for a simple couple of poached eggs to be brought out by which time the other two meals had been slowly eaten in the hope we could eat together but whilst (Luke warm in the firs place) food was now cold. What was more frustrating than the lack of service and abrupt manner of the manager was that whilst we were waiting for a simple dish to come out, others were being brought to other tables and clearly our replacement dish was just put into the system and came out when they got around to it. A very expensive, Luke warm / cold meal where we ate separately, received slow and inattentive service. We will not be returning. No attempt to make any meaningful apology or take all the dishes away and bring back what we had originally ordered at the same time and warm.

Decent meal here and opted for the Brunch Experience which made things very easy when choosing what to have. Sausages in the sandwich were slightly pink on the inside, which is apparently the preservatives. Staff were more than happy to explain. Coffee was good, expresso martini cocktails were good, cakes were good! Takes American Express, has baby changing and high chairs.

Lovely food, nice outside terrace

Great service, couldn't ask for more. We tried the Middle Eastern Baked Eggs (Shakshuka). Incredibly nice, also came with bread from local bakers, had its own taste, just great. Pleasant, airy and light restaurant with good views.

Stumbled over this Café on accident, best discovery we've made today. The stuff was very friendly, the food extremely delicious and totally fair prices. Will definitely come here again, when I visit Newcastle next time ❤️

This is a gorgeous cafe in a wonderful commercial art gallery. I had the daftest bacon and eggs I’ve ever had though. Two beautifully poached eggs and three slices of hard bacon arrived in a large bowl on top of two unbuttered slices of bread. So I set to work. The first job was to get the lovely poached eggs off the toast without breaking them - so I could butter the toast. I slid the pieces of bacon to one side and managed to get the eggs off. Then I separated the two slices of toast for buttering. One of the slices of bacon jumped off the plate onto the table. With no where to put the bacon so I could butter the toast I got a clean napkin and put the bacon on there. I buttered the toast and placed the poached eggs on top then retrieved the bacon. Then came the hard work of cutting through the overly thick sour dough. This proved impossible although with a steak knife and lots of spare time I could have managed it. Tackling the food without anything flying off the bowl was tricky. It was a massive case of form over function and one of the daftest meals I’ve eaten. This is a gorgeous place though. Do go. Just don’t get the bacon and eggs on sourdough. Thanks.

Nice little restaurant hidden within the Biscuit Factory galleries. I was seated in terrace… nice views into ouseburn and was an awesome setting when the sun started shining. Opted for Avocado on Seeded Sourdough with the addition of poached eggs. Looked great and tasted even better… washed down with a nice flat white

Slightly sub-standard. I ordered and paid for two poached eggs and got one. I ordered eggs to be well cooked and got really sloppy half cooked poached eggs with runny uncooked egg whites. I don’t want to get salmonella though so had to return to the kitchen. Regretful experience, not trying it again.

What lovely, helpful and highly efficient staff the Factory Kitchen employs! Martin explained the easiest way to ensure that our group meal ran smoothly; Hannah painstakingly typed in orders so we could all pay separately; Piamedie and Vicky delivered the food with welcoming smiles, Shammy organised what was left on the final bill efficiently. My avocado dish was both tasty and attractive – in short a culinary masterpiece! Well done the chef whose name I forgot to ask! Thank you everyone who made our visit a real treat including Sally at the main desk. Suzanne PS. The Biscuit Factory Gallery was gorgeous too.

Lovely place, good food and good service. Iced latte was fantastic!!!

Just had cake and tea, lovely food but really underwhelmed with the service. It’s very uncomfortable being left hanging about the door waiting to be seated while the staff chat behind the counter and ignore you. Finally I asked if I should seat myself and was to to’hold on a minute’. I was then taken by a very unenthusiastic manner of staff to my seat. I always love the food here but am constantly disappointed by the attitude of the staff

Nice to visit every few months to see new works and have a coffee/light lunch.

Visited many many times over the years, amazing building, venue, art and cafe, however, today was a bit of a shambles and unpleasant experience from start to finish, shame as it was a birthday breakfast treat for a friend. I think today may link to the management/leadership, or lack of it. No booking system as such, apart from the day before which I learnt today, assistant manager, front of house, unfriendly, unhelpful, waited ages to get menus, get served drinks, and eventually had to ask, so got drinks and food order in, then came all at once, couldn’t get another drink or cake order in, so decided to leave, paying the bill was a further challenge, no one seemed to know what on earth was going on, to be honest just felt like walking out. Clearly understaffed, need some system in place and better management, front of house. I think I’ll leave it for a while. Shame as food is great.

If you actually want to be seated, don’t bother. Came as it feels like I’ve tried every other brunch spot in Newcastle. Was looking for a quick in-and-out kind of a situation, which the spot looked perfect for. The cafe looked more like a John Lewis style eatery, nothing fancy so expected speedy service. Got nothing in the likes of it. Waited by the humongous “wait to be seated sign” with no luck. The staff looked at us plenty of times but decided putting orders in the till was of higher priority than sitting down waiting customers. Please note that the place was half empty at the time of our arrival and I’ve seen about 5 members of staff, none of which seem to know what customer service is. Gave up, went to Garage instead. Cheaper, quicker and nicer setting!

Excellent shakshuka and Avocado on Seeded Sourdough with the option of toppings: salmon, feta and poached eggs. Avocado on Seeded Sourdough is beautifully accompanied by pickled vegetables, which complements this dish very much and makes it unusual compared to similar dishes in cafes in this city. In addition to food, I was very pleased with rich coffee. The service also leaves a very pleasant impression.

Our favourite breakfast/brunch place in Newcastle, delicious eggs Benedict and other breakfast food, tasty cakes and great drinks selection. We will keep going here on the weekends. The grilled harissa chicken is amazing and the coffees are brilliant

Great venue👍👍 from the restaurant you can see the east end of the city . Fabulous coffee The tomato and basil soup was very good and a great portion size . Priced competitively Definitely a venue I will visit again

Lovely bright spacious dining area, with views over Ouseburn. Recommend the healthy salads and cake selection. Staff are helpful and friendly. Great place to catch up with friends.

A pleasant stop for coffee and cake, brunch is available also, its bright and comfortable with a great terrace (some part covered) The Biscuit Factory Art galley and shop is a great few hours and forms the bigger part of the art complex, the Kitchen fits in well

Found this place today by doing a Google search for a good brunch spot. We live close by so it was only a short walk and looked really promising from the menu. When we arrived we wait for 15 minutes at the ‘wait to be seated’ sign just outside the cafe. Unfortunately we never managed to get seated. I went inside to talk to the third member of staff who had already looked at us several times and asked if we could have a table, I could see tables free at this point. He immediately cut me off and responded with ‘wait by the sign and we’ll collect you when we are ready.’ Waited for another 10 minutes and no one came so we left. We ended up at another site literally two minutes from here and received excellent service and food. Don’t waste your time here.

Fabulous terrace restaurant ( indoor and out) atop best art gallery ever. Love this place . Just had long promised afternoon tea and it was every bit as good as it looks. Staff very attentive and makes afternoon tea, all making it a special treat 💕

Indoor/outdoor sitting available. Terrace is beautiful! Food presentation was great, harissa chicken was a bit too much/to many mixed flavours on a plate. Full breakfast was fab

Really good & I think the sunshine helped

Beautiful food a day outstanding service. Amazing to sit on the terrace, it was so warm and beautifully decorated.

The food and staff were lovely. However, it was pretty loud inside the dining room, almost felt like being in a pub. I also expected a little more fresh air on the terrace to make customers feel safer during this time.

Wow, what a great cafe within an art gallery. We had the sandwich, soup and salads, which were all original flavours, delicious ingredients, nutritious, filling... we were full but knew the cakes must be good too so we continued indulging. The carrot cake and apple frangipane were delicious. Thank you for such wonderful food at a great price :)

Truly impressed by this bright fabulous place. Incredible breakfast with variety of cakes and drinks+ they do student discount . This amazing place is worth a visit, I highly recommend give it a try.

The cafe opens at 10am on a Sunday. I attended a workshop at The Biscuit Factory commencing at 10am and asked if I could buy a coffee a few minutes before official opening time. I was told bluntly that the cafe opens at 10am. A few minutes after 10am a few of the workshop attendees queued for drinks and to pre-order lunch. The same person completely ignored us all and decided to continue re-filling the ice cream counter instead. When he deigned to acknowledge us, he rudely and loudly replied that there isn’t a pre-ordering system. Perhaps this person could be sent on a customer relations training course, as his manner spoilt the day.

I have just taken my friend for high tea. It was absolutely beautiful. The sandwiches were lovely especially the toasted cheese one. My friend was still raving about her sausage roll when I left her an hour later! We had to take the cakes homes as we were so full. Service was friendly and professional and I can't wait to come back again.

I popped in the factory kitchen with the intention of grabbing a coffee in between appointments however it was chaotic.The signage is poor stating you need a table number prior to standing in a long Q... I wasn’t the only one who queued to then be told this ( 2 others whilst I was present).When you are drinking/eating solo how can you reserve a table??? I’m unwilling to leave an expensive handbag or coat to reserve a seat.The staff seem completely ran off their feet and after waiting nearly 15 mins for a single coffee I left.I really think they need to revise their ‘system’.

Arty cafe with good day time food and a sun deck in good weather. Good for brunch/lunch plus lots of people having proper afternoon tea! Huge art and craft gallery in same building.

Vast and sprawling, and stacked with affordable delights - my All Day Brunch was very much like the Biscuit Factory itself. Saturday afternoon in the bright, stylish top floor cafe : my companions had the grilled cheese toastie; mine was a big bun filled with Cumberland sausage ring, bacon and egg. The BF is a contemporary art lovers'/buyers' paradise, with enough paintings, prints, craft, sculpture and jewellery to entertain you for at least an hour on top of your eating window, in a beautifully repurposed Victorian warehouse. Nourishment for the body and soul indeed. And free onsite parking!

Such a let down. I am honestly incredibly disappointed with the quality of the food here. The way it is advertised and talked about presents the idea of food being art and sophistication which the food and ambience lacks. Once arriving at the ‘kitchen’ I made my way to the table and sat down in what felt like a cheap cafe. Upon reading the menu, my hopes were raised as everything on the menu sounded nice. This was not the case. I ordered 4 dishes here. And 3 of them I was bitterly disappointed by. The focaccia was greasy and just overall a bit boring and sub-par and had nothing spectacular about it and just felt like a bad sandwich. The avocado toast which I also ordered was served on bread that was incredibly tough and difficult to cut through, however the avocado itself contained a nice blend of herbs in it. The penultimate thing ordered was the all-day brunch sandwich. Which looked ugly and ill presented and didn’t taste much better, leaving an overall feeling of “eh” and couldn’t be finished. The final dish of Moroccan baked eggs was in complete contrast to the previous dishes as this was somewhat nice. It had interesting flavours and a good presentation and was the only successful dish. The coffee we drank was also a bit of a let down although the selection of teas were nice. At the end of this experience I decided to take my family elsewhere. I won’t be returning unless to view the attached art museum which was interesting and fun to view. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this.

Called in here for lunch and to visit the bookshop. The lunch (soup) was excellent as was the cake and coffee we followed it with. Friendly and efficient staff. Highly recommended.

I loved my quiche and salads. Fresh, tasty and different. Excellent veggie food and consistent high quality over several visits. And a nice venue.

Had a lovely lunch and very accommodating for coeliac disease. Shame they had no gluten free cakes today but they did have the prepacked brownies available.

Preciosa cafetería en una bonita galería que obviamente es popular entre la gente local. Ensaladas, sopas, sándwiches, pero todo con un poco de reflexión y haberlos preparado con ingredientes frescos y agradables.Con licencia también para que pueda tomar una copa de vino o una cerveza con su sándwich de queso y puerro a la parrilla sobre masa madre o sus huevos benedictinos en magdalenas tostadas.

Actually a good choice on a small menu which seems to have good daily variations of (what look like) menu regulars! It's wheelchair accessible.

Great venue Excellent coffee Great variety of cakes, scones etc Prices good Staff attitude good Parking on street but 2 hour time slot available Great art displays

The food is sooooo delicious and looks also nice!! Also, very friendly staff! Thank you

Very impressed with the place. Had a seat at the porch, the lighting and the ambiane was extraordinary. The meals were beyond perfected. Everything from the food made raw and organic, including the sauces and tomatoes: herbs and spices. Plus great value of money.

Food is good quality and good selection of rustic meals. Bacon sandwiches in sourdough bread outstanding but need a sharp knife!

Fuimos a almorzar aquí después de una cita en este lado de la ciudad. Realmente disfruto visitando la fábrica de galletas, así que la oportunidad de almorzar aquí también fue útil. El menú es realmente agradable, la comida se ve fresca y es un ambiente relajado. La comida fue muy buena, Andy, solo comentó deteniendo mi crítica de 5 estrellas, era la comida estaba un poco más salada, no estaba en cada bocado, y la comida era ciertamente sabrosa aunque mi otra mitad que pidió otra comida hizo exactamente el mismo comentario así que Los dos lo sentimos. Más tarde en la tarde los dos estábamos sedientos. No hace falta decir que esto es menor, y ambos volveremos.

We have ate here a few times. The location is great; parking is limited but there is some overflow and on-street parking near by. Breakfast is amazing but the salads are best of all - a fresh selection of unusual veggie salads every day.

Las ensaladas de Factory Kitchen son obras maestras culinarias, con ingredientes coloridos, brillantes y nutritivos recién preparados (en la foto). El cocinero de hoy fue Johnny, quien también creó los helados, igualando, si no superando, a cualquier italiano o francés. Tuve pecan salado uno y sorbete de mora - 2 una cucharada o 3 para dos (en la foto). Recibimos una cálida bienvenida de parte de Oliver y Harriet, quienes tomaron las órdenes. Oliver amablemente me permitió tener mis dos cucharadas en platos separados para poder saborear cada sabor. Cenamos en una gran sala soleada con pinturas originales. ¡Me encantó la que tenía el jilguero!

Una forma agradable de pasar la hora del almuerzo después de navegar por la galería. El menú es un poco abreviado, lo que significa que puede ser sorprendente esperar un tiempo entre el pedido en el mostrador y la llegada de la comida.

مكان رايق وقهوتهم حلوة ، كيكة البستاشيو لذييييذة جداً

It is lovely to return to a place that just gets better with time.Always enjoy looking around the gallery.Wet Wednesday this week was no exception.Interesting views and great salt beef ciabatta and salmon and cream cheese on rye.Both prepared well and fresh tasting.

Very nice place, with good coffee and alternatives to eat/snack. I loved the atmosphere as well.

Los tres decidimos ir a Newcastle para tomar té y bocadillos, así que nos dirigimos a Factory Kitchen, sobre la galería de arte, en la estructura de paredes de vidrio que hay encima de la galería.

Conocimos a nuestro hijo para tomar un café rápido y nos decepcionó que no hubiera un solo pastel, bocadillo o galleta que fuera adecuado para un vegano. Le ofrecieron una ensalada que, aunque estaba deliciosa, era bastante temprano para el almuerzo (11 am).

Went here for lunch today, enjoyed a very tasty salad bowl and a good few options for vegetarians/ vegans. Lovely decor and can sit outside if the weather is nice, would highly recommend

Had lunch here the other week whilst visiting the biscuit factory. Had a quiche with two side salads which were gorgeous. They seem to change the salad optiobs quite often so it is always nice to try something new. Lovely bright and light interior too and great roof terrace!

The food in this Italian is excellent - I had their famous “handkerchief” pasta and we had a Parma ham starter that was also devine! Unfortunately we were too full to have dessert. The service was friendly and attentive! Would definitely eat in again and would recommend to friends if in Los Angeles. It is in a slightly secluded location so taxis to and from the restaurant are needed!

The food at Factory Kitchen is always excellent. My favourite choice is the salad bowl with an ever-changing selection of fresh and exciting salads, and on Saturdays they sell delicious Proven donuts. The outside terrace area is lovely to sit on a warm day, and they offer a 10% discount for students!

We have eaten occasionally at the Biscuit Factory over the years and I am delighted to say that this relatively new expansion in the form of a roof top terrace results in its best cafe/bar facility so far.Known as the Factory Kitchen the cafe is light and airy, taking advantage of the great views, tastefully decorated as you would expect within the Biscuit Factory and the food was delicious.I had a very tasty cheese sandwich with bacon, washed down with a Sputnik beer and my wife had a quiche with salad and a glass of the house white wine.Friendly and efficient service and they deserve to be a lot busier - it's a gem.
