The Headland Cafe in Hartlepool

Used to come here all the time with my Mam before she sadly passed away 5 years ago , we used to come on a Saturday , since then to keep my Mams lovely memory alive i have been back on many occasions as this is not just a normal cafe it has a hidden secret - EXCEPTIONAL THAI FOOD , usually one dish a day and differs every day just look on the specials board , something like this is a hidden gem and the service is always fast and friendly , the owner wouldnt hold it against me if i said she was a bit loud lol but thats just her way - a very friendly soul and this place is very popular with locals and shopkeepers who order their Thai food as a Takeaway. I love Thai food at the best of time but to find a place that serves it at lunchtime is very very rare , and as i said the quality is superb , ive never been to Thailand but ive eaten in many posh Thai restaurants and the quality of food matches and beats all of them. Keep up the fantastic work to the owner and all your staff. See you soon.

Excellent food and service. Thai red was the best I’ve ever had. Great breakfast too. Highly recommend. Best local cafe in my opinion.

What a wonderful little cafe . lovely friendly staff and great food . Great prices - sausage bun and a cuppa tea for £3.25 , absolutely fantastic. Lovely fresh bun , lovely cooked sausage. Would definitely return and recommend.

The best of British breakfast and meals with authentic Thai food all cooked to order, fresh and fabulous great sense of community and a home from home genuinely it's under priced for the quality and the Thai lady jum owner. Is such a pillar of our community.

Went in for a breakfast and then went four days in a row. Clean and tidy, great food. The staff are welcoming and very pleasant. Would recommend for coffee, breakfast and lunch.

Thought we would give this little cafe a try always looks busy glad we did mug of tea and a large breakfast super value lovely and hot support your local business hard working great food thanks x

I went recently for lunch with my granddaughter , I must admit I didn't know what to expect but boy! was I surprised Very clean, wondereful staff, unbeatable lasagne, and all at wonderful prices An absolute treat

I don’t usually do cafes, but my god the food, the staff are out of this world❤️YOU MADE MY MOVE TO HARTLEPOOL ALL THE BETTER.YOUR TRULY A CREDIT TO YOURSELVES. I struggle to eat food & it’s the only place I’ve been able to eat all my food. The prices are amazing for the Gordon Ramsey level of food. YOU HAVE TO GO AT LEAST ONCE.. THANKYOU EVERYONE 😍😍👌👌👌👌

Oh my goodness .. I always walk at the headland .. I keep hearing about this little cafe so decided to call in with a fried for a bite to eat before a walk. Not at all where I’d usually go for lunch but it will be from now on!! Fabulous scary gorgeous little owner was incredible, the food , we both had curry, was absolutely beautiful and the service was above friends and excellent .. the price was exceptional value. This place is a hidden treasure and we will be back and next time I will order my husband a take away in time!

Great place to eat in or take away. Great lunches and great people. The staff are always happy; service with a smile!

The headland cafe is a great place for dinner, open 6 days a week with friendly staff and a great range of food, authentic Thai curry’s and stir fry’s and a car very twice a week with prices that makes you wonder how they can make it so cheap this place is certainly a favourite for me as I work around Hartlepool

This little cafe doesn't look much from the outside but its a true gem. I found it by chance when out walking one day and popped in for a cuppa. Nice fresh made Yorkshire tea for under a quid. It's now a regular place to eat for me when I visit Hartlepool. The headand cafe is run by 3 polite and friendly ladies who work incredibly hard and produce great food. One of the ladies is Thai and produces great freshly made Thai curries and stir-fries at lunch time or alternatively they offer a good English carvery. The usual cafe-fare is also available. The full breakfast is excellent. Large breakfast with everyhting on it plus tea and toast for just over a fiver. Everything is cooked to order so it can take a few minutes to get served at busy times. Much used by locals and visitors alike. My favourite cafe in Hartlepool.

Long walk from Crimdon Dene over the sands to the picturesque Hartlepool Headland. In need of a good cuppa and a sit down. Great little cafe, friendly helpful. Plan to return for the lovely looking mince and dumplings.

Only went in because there was nowhere else to go. What a surprise we got. Excellent service and great value for money. Don't be fooled by appearance it's a little gem. Well worth a visit.

Called into the Headland Cafe for breakfast. Great food and service. Had to wait a few minutes because the food was freshly prepared so not a problem. The service and cleanliness of the cafe was second to none. I also purchased the Thai Curry to take home which was superb. Do yourself a favour and pop in to this small and friendly cafe you wont be disapointed. Dont expect the decor of the Ritz but enjoy the great food and service.

Excellent clean & friendly small cafe. Great value breakfast then took home Green Thai curry for our evening meal. It was the best curry ever, lovely fresh flavours & plenty of heat. We will be back. 😊

What amazing Thai curry !!!! A little cafe ran by a lovely friendly lady .. Cooked fresh I am very impressed . I had a breakfast here a couple of months ago that too was amazing and for a more than reasonable price ..

This is a no frills cafe serving good, honest, value for money meals whether that meal is breakfast, or lunch (Thai, or Carvery). A good place to visit.

Un servicio encantador y la comida estupenda. Los tailandeses salteados es impresionante y para los menos aventureros Las tortillas son el mejor he probado. Usted puede ordenar su comida por adelantado para garantizar su comida tailandesa o comida con antelación. También se puede ir fuera. A un precio muy razonable y muy sabroso. Días temáticos añadir al menú.

Toda mi familia han visitado este café desde que abrió sus puertas hace un tiempo. El propietario ( nacional tailandés ) es un diamante y siempre riendo!! Los desayunos son maravillosos. deliciosa comida tailandesa. No te preocupes si tienes que esperar. Ella cocina lo que más fresco. Vale la pena una visita.
