The Guru Coffee Shop in Northumberland

Fantastic place lovely food lovely people

What a wonderful coffee shop! Delicious cakes and coffee. Highly recommend the custard cream flapjack and fruit scone, jam and Rodda's Clotted cream. This was heaven to a Cornish girl half was through a 40 mile bike ride. Just remember....jam first! A warm and friendly atmosphere. Loved our chat with you and yes, the fish and chips from Neptune's were delicious!

Great place with excellent coffee and very friendly staff.

Lovely little community cafe run by very friendly staff who even offered us a lift back to our campsite! Food was delicious as was the coffee, would thoroughly recommend.

A friendly cafe that didn't bat an eyelid when we dripped in this morning to shelter from the rain. The coffee is good and the polenta cake with orange and raspberries was gorgeous and so prettily presented.

Fantastic coffee and friendly service. Seemed empty at first, but within minutes it was packed and for good reason.

Lovely welcome on a rainy day. Owner couldn’t have been more welcoming. Great tea and coffee as well as amazing home bakes. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely astonishingly good (very) little cafe & shop. They go above and beyond . . . and then go further! Their latte us delicious. Other customers had what looked to be excellent lunches, so the food is good too. The two ladies, (owners), are really friendly and welcoming. I asked for a simple slice of fruit cake, and it arrived on a plate with a fresh strawberry and a slice of orange, all garnished with a chocolate drizzle. As I said, it was astonishing! (See the photo.) They welcome dogs, too - there's a jar of treats for them. The shop is close to a number of recognised walks, so the cater more for walkers than vehicle traffic. (The parking is almost non-existent. However, we arrived on a particularly rainy day so parking wasn't a problem. Even so, we got the last two available seats. What a gem!

Lovely little cosy coffee shop run by a beautiful lady. Sells amazing tasty coffee and the tarts tasted delish and fresh. Must visit and it is pet friendly 🐶🐾

The coffee was delicious and the empire biscuit was the best I have ever had 👍. It definitely refreshed us on a long drive from Leicester to Aberdeen!

Great little coffee place with good food, coffee and gifts.

Delicious cake and they sure know how to make coffee ....highly recommended

Great place to stop between Edinburgh and Newcastle! Delicious coffee, snacks, and pastry. Pristine toilet!!!

The best coffee shop in Northumberland. Claire always makes you feel welcome and the selection of cakes and paninis is amazing. Great little place to stop by on your dog walk or as a pit stop along the A1 👏🏻

Lovely little independent coffee shop with top quality beans and service, just off the A1. Was passing for work and the owner happily whipped up a vegan sandwich on the fly for my travelling companion. Cute gifts, local delicacies and crafts from local makers for sale as well. Definitely worth a visit if you're flying up to Edinburgh or stopping at nearby Lindisfarne or Bamburgh. Next time will take some photos!!

Loveliest little local cafe with exceptional service and delicious sausage rolls + picallili

I can't comment about this place as the notice on the door states new October opening times 10am to 4pm daily. I visited on Sunday 29th October to find them closed!! Please have the decency to open when you say you are.

Welcoming host and excellent coffee towards end of St Cuthbert Way section that day

Discovered this place when out cycling. Was so impressed with the coffee I told my wife about it. And so we both came😀

Great cosy coffee shop full of goodies, great coffee and a warm welcome from the Sunday team. Worth the stop on your way to Holly Island.

Excellent coffee and cake and a lovely host, thoroughly recommended.

A great little find and so close to the A1. :-)

Thank you so much for the welcome and the food, it was delicious. Our little one was ready to be out of the backpack and enjoyed the treats!

Wonderful cafe in a small village. Staff are lovely. Seating inside and out. Good range of food. Everything you could want from a little teashop.

What a find. Absolutely delicious lunch, great local produce, best food of our trip. Jane is lovely :)

Delightful little cafe, excellent coffee and border tart. Easy to find if you need a break from the A1.

Excellent little village coffee shop, cafe and village shop. Very good food and lovely, helpful and friendly staff. Very glad to have discovered it.

A great welcome and lovely food and coffee- only 8 seats inside but picnic tables in garden- try it, you'll love it...

We are so happy we found this delightful little coffee shop on out way home from Holy Island. The food was delicious, the staff very friendly and the atmosphere warm and welcoming. We will definitely go back.

Gorgeous find after a long walk. Beautiful home bakes and delicious coffee. Very friendly welcome to a 5 star cosy cafe. Have recommended to friends and will definitely be returning. Thank you Guru.

Lovely coffee, delicious cakes 😋

Stopped here on our bike tour. The coffee was fantastic and the cake deliciously. Would recommend this place!

Just had to leave a quick review. Came across this cafe on our 2nd last day of St Cuthbert’s Way. Popped in for ice cream, they'd run out but found a tub of fudge stuff so popped that in some bowls for us, had a lovely coffee too. Sat inside with the dog. Really friendly too. Thank you!!

Extremely highly recommended. Great food (we tried coffees, pies then returned the next day for coffee and cakes, as well as some ferments from the fridge to takeaway) and service was superb. A gem.

Wonderful find, excellent coffee and cakes, nice selection of savoury on display, really friendly staff.

Lovely village cafe just off the A1. Food was excellent, both the steak and ale pie and sausage roll with salad and handmade chutney were delicious. Only stopped in for a coffee but food looked too good to resist. 100% recommend.

Fantastic food and the coffee was perfect too. A true gem.

Great start to the day. Coffee + Cheese and Chorizo toastie. Yummy

Lovely small cafe, great coffee and food ❤️

Fantastic coffee, cakes and local goods

Lovely lunch today staff and other customers very friendly food brilliant

Great coffee, and even better cake. Not to mention friendly service…

Came across this lovely food /drink stop whilst waiting for family to arrive at Fenwick having walked St Cuthberts Way from Wooler. Perfect place with great food and right on the route. Highly recommend to all.

Lovely little coffee shop great cakes and the best coffee for miles. Great stop on our bikes

Having read other positive reviews we called in and it didn't disappoint. We had the best quiche we have ever tasted and the ladies who run the place were lovely. Just perfect.

Wow what a welcome! Found this gorgeous little coffee shop while we were cycling the coast and castles cycle route. The ladies couldn't do enough for our 1 year old son, or us! All the food is delicious and homebaked, and it was such a lovely spot to relax in the sun and chat. One of the best cafes we've ever been to! 🥰🥰

Out on my bike and popped in to this Lovely tiny little Cafe in the village of Fenwick just off the A1 near Holy island, Lindisfarne... The 2 lovely ladies who run this place give you a fabulous welcome, the service and attention to detail is first class. I had a slice of savoury mince pie which was meat and pastry perfection, a lovely cuppa with extra hot water if required... Dog friendly and a lovely quaint village setting. 10/10 could've stayed all day and worked my way through the menu....Superb❤️

A super friendly cafe with gorgeous food and coffee. Dog friendly and good value. The two ladies that were serving today could not have been nicer.

Lovely place & staff very friendly. We had a great lunch...the sausage rolls & steak & ale pie were amazing & the coffee was very good. It is very dog friendly too. Would highly recommend it

Wirklich ein absoluter Geheimtipp. Super niedlich eingerichtet, lecker Kuchen und frisch zubereitete herzhafte Gerichte und super süße Gastgeberinnen.

Great selection of pastries, cakes and breads, good coffee and lovely, friendly staff

Excellent cafe located just one minute off the A1. Great selection of nicely done food like a big city deli in this tiny village

Such an “Oasis” for coffee lovers or anyone out on a walk or cycling past. We stopped off en route to Lindisfarne. Coffee fab, welcome was warm and cozy and great treats / pastries &cake.

Lovely little coffee shop, good food, friendly service. A great stop for weary walkers!

What a delightful little cafe! I didn't have time to stay and eat in but my takeaway jam-filled, iced shortbread was amazing. The ladies behind the counter are so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Thank you ladies, it was lovely to chat with you, I'll definitely return and try your food everything looked delicious!! 😊

Had a lovely steak pie and shared a flapjack, really wonderful cafe, probably the best one anywhere near holy island. Stop here for a light lunch, you won't regret it.

Popped in for a quick break. Excellent coffee, beautiful cake and great service. Lovely owners. Highly recommended.

Great little cafe on our way to Berwick. We were only looking for coffee but ended up enjoying a light lunch with salad and quiche. Would highly recommend!!

Lovely little cafe, on St Cuthbert's Way and St Oswald's Way. No formal parking but not an issue. Very limited space inside but tables outside in enclosed garden. Great menu, well executed. Friendly, efficient service and good value.

Brilliant small coffee roaster & cafe. Best mocha I've had for a long time - must be the home roast!

Good coffee and a nice place to sit. Conveniently located just off the A1. Very friendly staff.

Fantastic oat flat white and millionaire shortbread

A well stocked cafe & a welcomed stop after a days walking. Sit-in or take out service provided. Courteous & friendly service, even when we arrived close to closing time. Happily recommend after our brief, first visit.

What a perfect find after a grueling 14 miles of the Northumberland Coastal Walk. The cafe owner was just closing but welcomed us in made us a great pot of tea & then gave us 2 croissants to help us on our way to Beale! Service at its absolute best & a beautiful coffee/tea shop Thank you. ❤️

Just had coffees and cakes here as we walked past. Fabulous. And great service.

What a splendid place. I arrived tired and soaked off St Cuthberts way, and was restored by the lovely food, tea and friendly owner. She uses great ingredients and has created a wee gem of a place right where it’s needed for walkers.

Stumbled across this wonderful coffee shop on our Northumberland coastal walk and what a gem this is! Very welcoming and food excellent. 5 mins from the A1 . Go find 👍

What a gem to find after a long mornings walk. The food was delicious, the staff really friendly and lots of local produce and crafts for sale. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Great coffee and friendly staff, definitely worth a stop off the A1.

Such a lovely little coffee shop, fabulous owner. Tons of delish cakes on offer as well as some local produce and gifts - we bagged some tasty hot sauces along with our cappuccinos!

Great place for a coffee and snack just off St Cuthbert’s Way.

Amazing coffee, cake, and banter!

Amazing Easter treats and friendly staff!

Great coffee and food, pleasant staff. Enjoyed our stop on the bikes today.

Outstanding coffee shop 400 metres off A1. Great coffee, tea and cakes. Convenient for Holy Island. Very clean friendly and good service. Well worth turning off the A1. Highly recommended

All I had was cake - dairy free - as in the photo, and a double espresso. The cake was gorgeous, really moist and tasty. My friends decided to have early lunch - soup of the day, 10 out of 10 apparently, and the brie and tostes veg ciabatta, also 10/10. Its very small, just 8 seats, but it's a cute place. Shop as well as a cafe. Worth a visit.

Very friendly great service will go again 👍

Great find. Saw the sign on the main road through Fenwick and thought we'd give them a try. Small, friendly, fab coffee, oat milk hot chocolate and cheese scone. Filling the travel mugs was no problem. Also bought a couple of locally made gifts. We'll definitely pop back the next time we're in the area.

I travel to Edinburgh regularly for work, fed up of using services, a quick google search and I found Guru coffee shop. So glad I did. Honestly, couldn’t give anything less than 5 stars. Coffee is great (so good I bought some beans). The food was great and so was the service.

Beautiful shop and a very warm welcome. Claire the owner is so friendly and serves the best coffee and cake. Always lovely to see her, especially after an 8 hour drive. ❤️🙏

Excellent cake and a warm welcome. Ginger cake outstanding.

Great coffee stop just off the A1 near Berwick. Claire was very helpful with a friendly and professional manner. Food and coffee excellent quality. Take a break here on any road trip. Sausage rolls were top dollar!!!

First visit to this little coffee shop. They previously had a mobile van at Embleton and the benefit of the shop is the wider range of food We had a roasted veggie frittata and Empire Biscuit. Good quality local produce and very tasty as well There is a selection of gifts and food from local providers as well. Dog friendly, car parking and less than 5 mins of the A1

Went here today. Had a hot chocolate, a frittata and an empire biscuit. All the food is locally sourced and there are local gifts to buy too. The food was lovely and great value. The hot chocolate was the nicest I’ve ever had. The owners are very friendly and helpful and the cafe is dog friendly. Highly recommended. We will visit again.

Lovely lunch and would recommend the donuts

It’s great to have a village shop stocking a range of essentials and some lovely gift ideas. The big plus is that the cafe offers a selection of sweet and savoury items and good coffee served by helpful and friendly people for locals and visitors to enjoy. Ideally situated on national walking and cycling routes.

We couldn’t quite believe our luck stumbling across this fantastic coffee shop. Fabulous home made soup, delicious moist cake, gourmet coffee and great service. We will be back!

Had a lovely meal at Guru today! Great place, great food and great staff!

Just visited today on our way up to North Berwick having stopped in Alnwick and been unable to find anywhere for a bite to eat, and what a great find! , fab coffee lovely pork pie and the cakes looked great would 100% recommend, absolutely spotless and lovely owners, perfect!

Lovely new coffee shop, but owned by experienced coffee people. Perfectly located right on the National Cycle Network Route 1. St Cuthbert’s Way and St Oswald’s Way for walkers. Great selection of toasties, panini, pies and cakes. Coffee is great too of course.

Lovely little place, friendly staff and coffee tastes great. It's located in the village shop, there's no sign outside saying Guru Coffee that I could see, took me a few moments to find it.
