The Market Place Cafe in Northumberland

Had a lovely brunch and coffee, super tasty and reasonably priced and nice location right next to the square

Recently refitted to make more seats. Light clean, friendly. I especially love the Turkish eggs. Dog friendly.

Came here for a coffee. Checked twice that it was table service, and sat outside. After waiting a considerable time, went inside and ordered. The order never arrived.

Good spot in the town for food - quite a wait in-between drinks arriving at your table and also food. Awkward wait at the bar to pay as the staff were chatting to what was their friend who had popped in. Few flaws but not bad.

I have eaten here for several years and generally it has been “ok”. My last trip there (and I mean that today’s trip was my last) was very poor. We arrived at 8.40 and ordered coffee and wanted to order breakfast. We were told that they didn’t start cooking until 9.00 which we said was fine. Breakfast arrived at 9.25. I had the full breakfast. One mushroom, one small rasher of bacon, one egg, a pot of cold baked beans, a sausage, a bunch of cress, and a slice of toast made with white bread for £11. I asked for brown toast as I don’t eat white and was told they didn’t serve brown bread. Not impressive. I asked for another coffee for us. It didn’t arrive. The staff were very busy chatting behind the bar and had no interest in the customers. I asked again after 15 minutes when I eventually got their attention and they gave us the coffee “on the house”. As I said, this was my last visit.

Lovely coffee, staff very friendly. Nice place to take our dogs as well.

Had my first outing to the market place cafe on Wednesday and it was fab, despite we were later in going they were lovely and served us right up until closing. I had the chocolate orange brownie and I was very happy to see it was vegan meaning my dietary restrictions weren’t affected. I love this little boards they are served on. The flavour was gorgeous and I would definitely recommend. I also had a hot chocolate which was beautiful and VERY full. I would definitely be back. The cafe part is expanding and work is being done aswell as the loos being updated and I can’t wait to see what they do next. There is a small shop aswell full of eco & sustainable items to make our journeys to a more sustainable living easier.

Can't rate the food fairly as didn't eat, reason being we waited for an age to be served and left. Staff seemed overworked and struggle to meet demands. Wouldn't recommend

Wanted somewhere to eat before taking the dog for a walk. We were looking for something fresh, healthy and dig friendly and we weren't disappointed. There's no booking here, it's a come in and wait, but the turnaround seems relatively quick. We went on a Thursday, so I guess it'll be busier at the weekend. Table service, all the staff were really friendly and our food didn't take long at all. Vegan and Veggie options are available. I'm a meat eater, but fancied one of the dishes marked 'V', so simply added some bacon to it with no bother. Both our dishes were really tasty and they are good portions. We had brunch style food, eggs, avocado, sourdough, bacon, etc. I'm not sure if they do a different menu later in the day Reasonable prices, good portions, good service. Definitely worth a visit if you are in our around Morpeth.

Lovely cheese scone and coffee on a drizzly day, such a warm, bright space

Fantastic place to eat or have a coffee with different menu from anywhere you will go full of taste 😋

Delicious scone and best cup coffee, lovely staff

Unbelievably good food and coffee. Really friendly staff and the place is dog friendly, too.

Arrived at 3 minutes past 2 to be told no food as they stop serving at 2. Not indicated on their socials that this was the case. Very disappointing

Decided to give this a try for mid morning coffee based on good reviews. Place virtually empty and five staff but no one wanted to take our order. When we asked for service the response was distinctly prickly. Bland average coffee arrived while we endured the loud inane conversation of the staff about their “bitch” friend and the impending opening of a competing coffee shop. Interesting customer toilet. Loose toilet seat, overflowing bin and basin tap at a jaunty angle wearing a groove in the plasterboard. Won’t hurry back.

Love this place and it is a regular 'go to' for us!

Great service and food was lovely having clearly used quality ingredients!

The best cafe in Morpeth. We love you coffee, and your food is fantastic. Large space for family and friends in the middle of our famous town.

Amazing food!! Always great service and very very tasty food. Definitely one of the best places for brunch in Morpeth.

Phenomenal brilliant place to come and eat. I had the berry blast smoothie which was excellent. Turkish eggs was one of the best dishes I have ever tasted. Finally the pican and maple tart is to die for its very rich and tasty. The staff where all very kind and helpful. Brilliant place to go

Have popped in here twice. The first time we didn't realize they only served food Weds-Sat but we stopped for a hot drink. The server was abrupt and seemed quite vacant when I paid. She didn't know what we'd had but we were honest and paid our dues. The 2nd time I visited with friends. It was fairly busy but there were plenty of servers. They didn't take our order for some time and then they only brought 1 cup of tea instead of 2. The young lady looked miserable and very fed up. 2 of us had the mackerel on toast and 1 the beans on toast. It was all hot. I don't think I'd return again and this is mainly due to the poor reception you get when you go in. No welcoming smiles or hellos and you actually feel a little awkward. NB There isn't a toilet to use here so make sure you go before coming in. The chap next to us needed to use the toilet and had to go to Sanderson Arcade, just as his tea turned up. 😐

Excellent food - alternative choice for Morpeth. Food is fresh and tasty - nicely prepared. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

Lovely coffee and very friendly staff.

Amazing food in a really friendly relaxed cafe! Tried brunch from the new menu and it was delicious. I need gluten free food and as a Coeliac I felt really safe eating here…and the food was delicious!

Really wanted to try this place after seeing all the lovely pictures of the food and reading some good reviews. Popped in this morning and we took a seat and waited over 10 minutes to be served but nobody came over or even acknowledged us. I could understand if it had been busy and they'd told us there would be a bit of a wait, but the place was half empty and neither of the staff behind the counter even looked in our direction. There was another couple also waiting to be served and they'd been there longer than us. So we ended up leaving and going elsewhere

Great food , super tasty. Child and dog friendly . A wonderful breakfast and lovely staff. Highly recommended . And the best ever homemade baked beans is a bonus

The staff were so friendly and really lovely through all of our visit. Breakfast was possibly the best food I've eaten in a long time and the coffee was gorgeous as well. Thus is definitely my new favourite place

Fabulous food! Possibly the best breakfast I've had in months. The coffee was delicious as well. Staff were all very friendly and very happy to help. Very extensive gluten free options.

What a hidden gem, lovely atmosphere excellent choice of food. Staff were very friendly attentive to customers throughout our visit.

Visited earlier this month and was not disappointed! Amazing food and friendly staff! To date the best breakfast av had! Defo will be returning

We had the Market Breaky and Seasonal avo and this didn’t disappoint. Washed down with some great coffee which they use a local supplier for! 2 of our group were gluten feee and the staff were extremely accommodating with this. They also had a number of vegan options as well. 10/10 will be visiting again

Been here a couple of times recently and I’d go as far saying it’s the best breakfast in the area. Lovely cafe with great coffee, lovely staff too. Turkish breakfast is very flavourful and packs a punch for breakfast. Wife had a nice breakfast too. Bairn loves her sausages which are a cheap extra. Well balanced food and good value. Very very nice place.

I really wanted to like this place as I admire their eco friendly ethos but sadly the service was anything but friendly. We arrived and being unsure whether it was table or counter service took a seat. It wasn't busy and three members of staff were behind the counter chatting, so after a few minutes my husband went over to the counter to ask about ordering. Staff continued chatting, ignoring him till eventually he had to politely interrupt and ask if he could be served. Finally order taken and served with no smiles or pleasantries. The coffee itself was good as was the home baking, but sadly this didn't make up the lack of welcome. I wouldn't normally post a poor review, but hoping that the feedback might highlight staff training issues!

Lovely little place, very clean and a pleasantly varied menu.

Nipped in to shelter from a sudden rain shower and ordered tea and some cakes. Unfortunately my lemon meringue croissant include an ant ! Shop offered replacement and refund straight away but I am unsure I will be making a return visit.

The food was delicious and fresh. Lovely quaint place.

Called in here for lunch as we were on holiday. Lovely light and airy shop and cafe and nice decor. Food was good but it was a shame the portions were very small for the price (£9.50 for 1 slice of sourdough, avocado and 1 poached egg albeit with a few other bits added) Flat white wasn’t quite up to scratch either, milk overboiled and just not how we like it. Also please change your paper menus to something more sturdy-they were dirty with food stains. Sorry to sound quite critical but hopefully some of the feedback is constructive as it really has potential and the food was lovely, just wish there had been a bit more!

A lovely place and the renovation looks great. We didn't have food, just coffee for take out. Took ten minutes and honestly one of the worst coffee's Ive had, very bad customer service and at an extortionate price. Harrys just up the road does some of the best coffee I've had, I believe they also use local coffee beans from Northside.

Lovely new cafe. Improved layout and more seats

Not great customer service - rude

This place is so unique, the food was amazing. I had the Turkish eggs, which I really recommend.

Really friendly and accommodating staff. Very personal service. The chef even came out to chat to my husband because he was interested in the inspiration behind one of the dishes. Very family friendly. Our kids had a lovely time. Lots to choose from on the menu

Been several times and always enjoyed delicious food. Especially good for us as dogs are welcome! The refill shop is also excellent.

It had the most delicious cake I have had in years an Apricot and Pecan Frangipan. The staff were very good and the coffee was perfect.

Such a great addition to Morpeth, truly delicious food and offering something different to the standard sandwich / jacket potato available everywhere. I will be back, again and again.

I just thought I’d try this place out and popped in. First thing I saw was a huge dog, however, since we are all expected to tolerate dogs I wasn’t deterred. I noted a female (short blond ish bob) milling around and talking to the dog owner. I then saw her petting and stroking it as I was deciding what to get to eat. Sadly, this female works there and went behind the counter to serve people. WITHOUT washout sanitising her hands. At that point I turned around and walked out. Won’t be back.

Peanut butter and jelly bake is delicious! The lady told me that the chocolate was slightly discoloured (which is totally natural I know!) and was kind enough to even give me another for free 🥰 10/10

Best breakfast ever. Can’t wait to go back again. Very friendly staffs and strong WiFi connection.

Anyone who mixes grilled cheese with Kimchee is to be applauded. An excellent grilled cheese sarnie with the Kimchee on very good bread, with a salted caramel smoothie, really yummy. Earlier I had a vegan scone which was very tasty and a well made espresso....

Nice wrap around the warm bacon and ice cold chicken. Would have been great with both fillings at the same temperature - preferably the warm one. Tasty though. Tea strangely served with a bag on the side for customers to dunk into their own cup...

Had an amazing breakfast at The Market Place Cafe. What a breath of fresh air to find a genuinely tasty alternative to the usual full english! Beautiful local bacon and sausage teamed with your choice of eggs (perfectly poached in my case), avocado, grilled halloumi,...

We have just been for breakfast at the market place and it was absolutely AMAZING! Out of this world food! We’ve never been able to find food this good in Morpeth for quick light lunches/ breakfasts & snacks! Xx We can’t wait for our next...

We are in Morpeth on holiday with our 13 week old puppy and were welcomed in by the really friendly staff. The cafe has a really lovely feel with the best gluten free options that I’ve seen for a while. Really appreciate how well dietary...

The Market Place is such a unqiue place. An eco shop, refillery and alternative cafe in the heart of Morpeth that supports local small businesses and tackling climate change. The food and drinks are absolutley lush. The brownios are to die for!

Lovely staff and great coffee. Really wanted to love this new addition to MorPeth, however the sandwich offerings need some work - the baguettes are cheap white ones and the vegan egg mayo was nearly inedible due to amount of salt. The humus and falafel...

Best cafe with a view of Morpeth. Great airy building with lots of natural light coming in for you to watch the world go by. Staff really friendly and a lovely menu. Love the big jars or herbs and spices! Ordered a mermaid coffee which...

Absolutely LOVE this spot for coffee, treats and stocking up on essentials without creating waste! The shop and cafe is well laid out, easy to shop and manoeuvre with a pram. Everything is immaculately clean and the space is light and airy. All of the...

Just did my second refill shop here. There is a really good range of foods and household refills, at great prices (some cheaper than supermarkets) and it feels like a really nice, much less wasteful way to shop. The weighing system is easy to use...

Beautiful place and fantastic atmosphere. Visiting with family or just meeting a friend. Love the coffee and love everyone
