The Queens Hall Cafe in Northumberland

We ordered a scone and a toastie. After a 20 minute wait the scones was delivered and 15 minutes after that the cheese onion and tomato toastie arrived. No garnish. Not worth waiting for. A thin slice of brown bread with the woody bits of tomato included. We won't be back.

Come here weekly, cheese and bacon scones are the BEST. Other establishments please note what you have to aim for. Reasonably priced and consistent high quality.

Lovely airy, clean, delicious cafe. I had fruit scone with cream & jam - delicious - and daughter had breakfast bap (special) which was very tasty and filling. Wont be long until we're back.

Really nice airy Cafe. Coffee OK and cakes very nice.

Popped in for brunch and didn’t disappoint. Beautiful fresh brioche breakfast bun, with fried egg, local bacon and sausage. A lovely dish. Fab service as ever. A little gem in Hexham.

The Queen’s Hall cafe is a very pleasant place for hot drinks and snacks. We were only in for drinks and my wife declared her flat white to be fantastic while I was more than happy with my generous pot of tea. We didn’t have room for food, but the scones look to be rather good - especially their famed cheese and bacon ones.

Really like this place. Limited menu but very tasty food and very good coffee. A great atmosphere: seems to be a popular place to catch up with friends for a natter...

We have visited the queen's Hall often. Particularly after rhyme time at the library when they have welcomed children/families and the relative chaos they bring. Today we visited with a small child and a lady in particular was so exceptionally rude that we had to leave. She could clearly see that my child was struggling and created a made up rule that my child had to be seated while in the cafe. This lead to a complete break down and meant we had to leave the cafe with a half finished meal and not a sip of tip tea being drunk. I will NEVER return. The Rising Cafe welcome us with open arms and that is where will visit in future

Good coffee, food and service. Usually busy but there's plenty of tables

Good venue, high ceilings spacious and airy. Good service, nice choice of soups cakes toasties Nd sandwiches. Dogfriendly. Will go back.

A great little cafe opposite Sele park with lots of parking out the front to Beaumont Street. The cafe does the most amazing homemade scones. Easy access for people of all abilities and a great atmosphere.

The day I went the toilets were out of action and only the staff ones were useable, but not too clean!.

we had a lovely cream at the Queens Hall today, the service was very good. when we were in it was not busy and very nice

We always feel comfortable here, there's a good relaxed atmosphere. Coffee and scones excellent too.

Light, airy with reasonable prices and very friendly staff. Clean, accessible toilets and dog friendly too.

Nice little cafe. Not a great choice but what there is on the menu is done very nice.

Stopped for a coffee and homemade scone, freshly baked and brewed.

First visit to Hexham, to meet friends who live in the town. Lots of lovely streets and this was a great choice to stop by for a coffee. Very nice ambiance and staff very friendly. Definitely recommend

Excellent scones, a good array of cakes, wonderful coffee, friendly service. Can get very busy later in the morning, it's a good idea to arrive shortly after 10am to be sure of a seat.

Having visited a few cafes in Hexham we have settled on this one where the friendly staff serve excellent snacks and coffee. It’s always busy but service is quick enough. Dog friendly with a water bowl always available.

Took my family here today, the food was amazing! We will definitely be coming back. I particularly like the mini hash browns

Super friendly staff. Good menu. Nice selection of drinks. The breakfast is delicious, the sausage patty is really tasty. I was really impressed by the quality and freshness of produce used in the breakfast. Will definitely be back.

We moved to Corbridge, a nearby village, back in August 2022, and we came into Hexham for a walk around with both sets of grandparents! What an absolutely brilliant find! Food was absolutely amazing - genuinely one of the best meals I’ve had for ages! Staff were very friendly and good craic, and of course the venue is ace! We will 100% be back, and regularly!! Thanks guys.

Food service and situation all fab!!!

Lots of staff milling around but service was very slow. When the food eventually arrived part of the order was wrong - not what we asked for but that was down to us apparently! Replaced with the correct order eventually. Food is great but service is ridiculously slow for the number of staff they have.

I had a Latte, chocolate Tiffin and Croque Monsieur. I wish I'd thought to take a photo of the Croque Monsieur before demolishing it - huge, and utterly delicious. Food excellent, coffee excellent, staff a delight, and the setting is lovely in the historic Queen's Hall.

Spacious, but lacking in ambience. Staff ranged from super friendly to snotty. Everyone raves about scones which were ok. Though I didn’t have the cheese one and that did look a lot better than my plain scone. Coffee ok. Nothing to get excited about though.

We are fairly regular customers who live about 45 minutes away and pop in when we can. Consistently excellent and the Croque Monsieur is a total indulgence. Chocolate Tiffin is amazing. Scones great. Today we had the Full English for the first time, and it was top notch. So much attention to detail in the sourcing of ingredients, seasoning and cooking. Another new favourite 😋

Today I visited with my elderly relatives in their 80s. The food was absolutely delicious but two males working today had absolutely no respect for elderly people. Firstly a young male with a hair bun and glasses working on the coffee machine addressed my uncle with very little respect. My uncle was unsure of where to order from due to there being a few counters and screens. He stood at the till for a second then saw the young boy with the glasses and hair bun and the boy shouted “no!” At my uncle and pointed at the correct place. Like my uncle was a fool. It really upset me personally as my uncle should be treat with respect. Then we were served by another man with short hair glasses and tattoos. He was also exceptionally rude to my uncle. As my uncle was ordering toasties the man kept talking over him and saying would you like crisps and salad with that and my uncle didn’t hear as there was a screen in the way and he was looking at the menu and the man contributed to talk over my uncle and repeat himself until my uncle heard. It was honestly disgusting. Completely disrespectful and a disgrace. If the men working there today do not like their jobs or have any value for their customers maybe seek out a different job where they don’t have to deal with customers.

Well worth a visit, good selection of food, coffee is lovely. Staff all very friendly. Highly recommend

When in Hexham this is our Number 1 choice for cheese and bacon scone and coffee and tea. Quality never changes and the drinks are ALWAYS HOT, been coming here for 2 years or more and not disappointed yet, just remember they are closed on Mondays.

Enjoyable reasonably priced lunch time snack.

We had a marvellous, tasty , and sometimes unusual breakfast here, surrounded by locals - lots of Mums with babies.. So good, so healthy, so reasonably priced. Great coffee. Regretted could not get bak there. Those cheese scones....

What can be said other than wow the best Cheese and bacon scone. A pot of tea allfor £4.50 great staff nice cafe. When I'm back I hexham will deffo be heading back.

Wow they are the best Cheese and bacon scone I ever had. With a pot of tea all for £4.50 an absolute bargain.

Spacious seating. Lovely cheese N bacon scones. Great coffee

Good food. Great meeting place.

Nice place for coffee and scone in the morning.

Our first time in the cafe with its new owners. Service was excellent and the covid screens meant we felt safe and well distanced. The food was outstanding - try the delicious breakfast scone (with bacon, sausage pattie and a fried egg); a revelation!

Excellent coffee, really nice food and a lovely setting. Visited 9n a busy Thursday lunchtime and had really good service. I'll be back

Excellent coffee, food and staff

A big thank you to the guys whom served us yesterday, even though we were late. Really friendly and helpful. The food was nice and the coffee was excellent. Thanks again

We visited Hexham today and came across the Queens Hall Cafe The staff were really friendly especially the young lad serving He was very helpful. Coffee was very good and soup and scones were tasty.

Really impressed by the service - and lovely butties too.

We've always had good service and tasty food, good coffee, and tea here. I would recommend popping in if you are in the area.

We love this place so glad it has reopened. Food is great staff very attentive.🤗☺️

The best cheese scones in Hexham

We visit here every Saturday morning and have not been let down once. This is high praise indeed and to keep up that standard constantly is a rare gift. The staff are friendly and attentive. The coffee is excellent ( I persistently moan about what most cafes serve up as coffee ) and as for the scones .......well you’ll just have to take my word for it, they really are perfect.

We have been in this cafe a couple of times and accept the food is freshly prepared but you need to speed up a bit. Last time we ordered a scone and a bacon sandwich, the scone was well digested before the bacon sandwich appeared, it was lovely.

I have visited on several Saturdays, just for the scones! It's a very noisy echoing space and it's really hard to have a conversation. The decor is quite tired and the furnishings do look as if they've been sourced from a skip or a junk shop. The chairs are not comfortable at all. Service is painfully slow even though the staff seem to be constantly busy. You have to help yourself to cutlery, water and serviettes (if there are any on the windowsill) Allow plenty of time for your visit. You can spend up to 30 minutes in the queue with only four people in front of you and it's usually 20 - 50 minutes after that before you get your order.

This is a cafe in the same building as the library and Queens Hall Theatre , had changed hands a few times but the new owner seems to have got it right .

What an absolute gem this place is! Friendly service and the most wonderful homemade cheese and bacon scones. Great atmosphere my new favourite haunt.

Good coffee and awesome cheese scone. Definitely well worth a try, despite being “hidden” away with the library etc. Will be back

Housed within Queens Hall Arts Centre is this gem of a cafe, with deceptively simple fayre of scones, home bakes, soup and sandwiches. All done to perfection though and therein lies the secret. Honestly the sandwiches are delicious - mine was beef and blue cheese. They are all served with a vibrant salad.The scones I hear of taking on legendary status and I can testify that someone here knows their coffee too - its just lovely. What a clean, simply furnished space, Scandinavian in feel, warm and inviting with friendly and rightly proud staff. Thank you, a lovely visit.

Went here with my husband in August for afternoon tea and wasn't disappointed!friendly staff, Lovely sandwiches,cakes and scones and not the tiny one bite size either! Refills on tea and coffee too.will definitely return to sample more of the lovely food on offer.

The best coffee, the best scones, in Hexham. Great for lunch: tasty soup and sandwiches. Plus, believe it or not, a Mr Whippy type ice cream machine! I may move in 😁

I chose this venue for an important meeting because I currently have a leg in a half plaster and I knew there was manoeuvring space between the tables. That was the extent of my needs and expectations. Boy, was this a revelation. They clearly pride themselves on their baked goods and rightly so; I've never had a cheese and bacon scone before and it was sublime! But equally striking was the wide range of unusual coffees; what's a babycino? And how big is the "big marshmallow" which is available on request to top off a hot chocolate? All the food which came across the counter was prepared in open view and looked gorgeous. Utterly family friendly. There's a microwave for bottles and a free hot water dispenser, plus discreet cushioned seats in the same area for breastfeeding. It's a lovely atmosphere. I was really, really impressed and will be back even after my leg is mended!

Lovely cafe very spacious nice decor, I had a latte and a peanut butter brownie. I really enjoyed my coffee but my brownie was out of this world definitely the best brownie I have ever had.

Small cups of coffee for price charged. Soleless space with no decor except junk furniture from charity shop clearance! Just simply depressing.

Popped in for a coffee and a scone. I had a cheese and bacon version which was delicious! Friendly staff, light and airy venue. Highly recommended

One of the nicest scones I've ever had, was absolutely wicked and I wish I could have it delivered to Cardiff. Was magic, sound. Jam was beautiful and the butter amazing like, and great staff as well. Magic, sound, thanks very much.

Very nice cafe - food and drinks are good. Staff are very friendly

I’ve got a bit of a coffee obsession and I just love to find a great cappuccino because I’m the sort of person that when I’m paying anything between £2-3 of my hard earned cash I want something special and I can tell you this was right up with the best I’ve had in Europe

Scones were out of this world. The only problem here is the lack of small tables. Most of the tables are for 6 and its a bit off putting trying to have a conversation, just the two of you, when sharing a table with another 4 strangers. However well recommended.

A place to enjoy a decent cup of coffee and a delicious scone in an airy and spacious atmosphere. The staff are friendly and the food always looks very appetising. So glad we found this place.

Lovely place to visit, the smell of fresh scones baking as you walk in the door is amazing! Very spacious, inviting and good food

Popped in for morning coffee on Saturday and the place was buzzing,always a good sign,we had to wait for a table,my husband ordered two cheese scones a tea and a one shot latte.

Afternoon Tea! Lovely clean friendly place in the heart of hexham, easy access for all, bargain price at £12.50 a head, unlimited tea/coffee, freshly homemade sandwiches, cakes & scones, highly recommend to all. 🥪🍰☕

The Cheese and Bacon scones are absolutely scrumptious, one of the nicest scones I have ever had. They have good flavour and are nice and light.
