The Tower Cafe in Newcastle upon Tyne

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Highly recommended

I visit Leazes park today as was a nice weather to go out,and i been for a lunch at “The tower cafe” for the first time ,my experience was lush as I ordered a lovely meal deal panini ,lovely taste ,great chips with an amazing view!! The staff was amazing,really quick service,a can’t wait to be back !

Absolute shambles of a place. Grubby premises and staff, overpriced, poor coffee/food, chaotic service, unable to fulfil the simplest of orders. Ended up leaving hungry, frustrated and out of pocket after the guy could only muster 2 of 3 paninis after over half an hour of waiting. Witnessed several other people receiving wrong/incomplete orders, so I'm baffled how this place has any decent reviews at all. It's an absolute mess in every way.

Lovely cafe in a great location

Lovely little spot with great staff

Lovely place for lunch. Good, friendly service.

Tried to ask for food and was greeted by a young girl who looked totally confused, didn't even ask me what I wanted and when I asked for a slice of pizza and some chips - "I don't know if the kitchen is open" - then what's with all the menus and no signs telling you they aren't doing any food? It's 12.50pm so it's not an odd request. So...I can't rate the food but definitely felt I was strange for trying to order.

The place for the cafe is ideal. You can sit looking at the pond. Service may take a little time but food is ok. On our day of visit most items mentioned in the menu were not available.

Really nice chippies. Don’t eat them at the pond tho i got attacked by ducks. Splendid coffee

The prices are a bit" spicy" especially the mocha drink , which is worthy max 2£ not 4.80£ . The staff is really nice and quick in delivering / serving your order. The location is a plus as the park itself is lovely.

Delicious coffee. Super friendly barista. Will definitely be back and might even try a slice of pizza next time 😋

If you go you have to try the brownies, they are so good! Amazing customer service and the owner is so nice, really made our day

Me and my best friend came here twice and had amazing experiences both times. The brownies are to die for and the lady is unbelievably lovely. Could not recommend more!

Staff are caring hardworking and friendly

Great little cafe, right across from the RVI. Spent many a hour here while waiting for A&E. Good coffee and friendly owner.

Absolutely loved going here for the coffee and pizza 🍕☺️. I lived in Italy for 9 months and to me this is the best most authentic Italian pizza and coffee outside of Italy. The owner Stef is a fan Brasov guy and very friendly and I always find the atmosphere to be relaxing, warm and very welcoming. I will definitely be spending a lot more time here in the summer 👌. Wish I could give more than five stars 10/10 all around.

Lovely spot to visit after a walk around the lake and park. I had a Pani and it was delicious. Fun and quirky atmosphere. Would go again, possibly in spring.

Interesting format of the cafe, I like the atmosphere, the food, the staff and the guests of this place.

Staff always seem genuinely happy, the guy I assume is the boss has a powerful positive energy glowing from him. Great spot for a pizza especially in the summer as its outdoor with some covered seating. They serve proper coffee too

Not my cup of tea, its a counter serving food and drinks not a cafe

Great spot to sit and watch the wildlife.

Best place in Newcastle. Quality and marvellous service. Enjoy

Had a delicious panini - very relaxed vibe, super friendly people.

Could do with a wider menus and more stable opening hours.

A nice place to eat and look out over the lake although it does not open until 10:00 now.

Lovely staff and always cheery chat. Coffee fab too

Went for lunch. Big sign outside with food menu. But kitchen closed and serving no food. At lunchtime. Bizarre

Love this place.!!! Great service, great staff a favourite place for me !!

Lovely outdoor café in Leazes Park by the lake. Staff friendly, nice cuppa in eco takeaway cup. - update - Not sure if they're seasonal or if it's closed down now, as it hasn't been open the last two times I've been, weekdays in March 2022.

I liked the set up,and said so to the owner! But couldn't believe the coffee I was given,a sort of brown blob at the bottom of a paper cup!

Great Coffees and Pizzas, just what I needed after a lovely walk in Leazes Park 😊

Lovely place for a chitchat good location

Got the hot chocolate, very nice and some chips with cheese on, freshly cooked, so about 15min later I got them, French frie type, ok

The loveliest place!! Has great food, really good coffee and it's the cutest place!

Great coffee, pizza and location

Great pizzas. Delivery via Uber.

Fish and chips were disgusting. And when I queried the price i was told ....ooohhh they are the old prices we have up. These are the new ones on our menus. Was it even fish ????

Very small... and very bizzy today x

Love this place. Great location, friendly staff and lovely coffee and pain au chocolate

Great place with a wide variety of snacks and food

Amazing pizza and friendly service.

We always get a lovely cup of coffee from here after we've had a walk around the park

Probably the best authentic pizza experience in town

Lovely little cafe in Leazes Park

Good coffee .Sat in sun and enjoyed park view.

Killing time in park waiting whilst family member in nearby hospital. Had coffee, very nice. Not made by buttons! Then relative had break for lunch so went back for pizza - absolutely gorgeous, freshly made , thin, very very tasty. Bit pricy but well worth it. Highly recommend

A good place to stop for a quick lunch break or a coffee in the park, Leazes Park.

Vkrhsv ignore that idiot persons review. Maybe if they'd had family members or friends die of Covid they might think differently. Anyway we went to the cafe today and it was spot on, perfect! Waiting for food took a while but if that's because it's popular then so be it, a good sign. Prices reasonable as well. Will visit again.

Brilliant, such a lovely place, and my room was fantastic, cosy lovely showers etc, local shops, will always be coming back to just so Loose man, I love it thanx

Lovely location, garlic pitsa was spot on, toilets ok.

Great pizza, great price. Bumped into a nice bump of people who told me all about these trial vaccines we are having pushed on us. Thank God I ran into them as I will not be having the vaccine now, neither will my children.

The tower cafe is well worth the money if your craving a pizza while at the park it also provides a variety of hot and cold drinks. Also if you or the kids want to feed the ducks, geese and swans that live on the pond then the tower cafe offer bird seed if you've forgotten to grab those stale slices of bread to feed the birds.

Lovely friendly lady at the counter. Excellent lemon canole.

Great coffee and tasty pastries. Friendly staff.

You can but different snacks here including 🍕 pizza, various got and cold drinks I think beers too. Staff friendly and helpful. You can buy proper bird food for the birds on the lake rather than food which is unsuitable or harmful to them

This is a regular stop when visiting family. It can get very busy but with so many places to eat and drink not usually too much of a problem. Just had a drink this time. Service was great, friendly and efficient. Plenty of grass for dogwalks. As services go very good

Great coffee today in the park, overlooking the lake with ducks and geese, just what I needed after my day in hospital.

Come here a few years ago before lockdown and it was lush will definitely be going back

Still good park but play area needs a upgrade

Beautifully situated right next to the lake. I only had hot drinks but many people buying pizza which were clearly very popular.

Great genuine Italian coffee in a beautiful setting

Lovely little cafe, a lovely owner and waiting staff, gorgeous coffee with a lovely view of the lake and park, and a great place tp people watch.

A hidden gem... with pizza, coffee and the Italian guy who runs it is spot on 😃

Great and valuable part of the community.

What a cozy atmosphere and beautiful lake side view 😍

Lovely little cafe, great espresso

Lovely coffee in a great park. Apparently you can even pay with cybercurrency!

Great little cafe with seriously tasty Italian pizzas at a reasonable price. Ordered on the app and wasn't too much of a wait. Excellent place to sit and enjoy the food by the duck pond

Best pizza in Newcastle probably a little over priced for a thin pizza, prices around £9/£10 but well worth the money. The little Italian sweets are super yummy. This place is such a lovely place.

Welcome stop off anytime and pizza well worth wait on a very bizy day

Lovely little gem. Friendly staff

Lovely coffee and fab pastry. It was lovely sitting out in the sun.

مكان جميل للتنزه وقضاء بعض الوقت مع الأصدقاء

Excellent little cafe selling a wide range of coffees, pizza, a few cakes Friendly service, a perfect little oasis in Leazes Park. In these days when opportunities are so restricted, this little haven for take away food and drink provides a wonderful taste of normality.

Lovely orange cake. Coffee could have been better.

Friendly staff and good house of pizza

Lovely location, pizzas are delicious as are the hot drinks and lemon cannolis!

I like the coffee, will come again!

Always a great little spot for somewhere to eat on a sunny day. There's plenty of seating around. Food is great.

Full of atmosphere and cheerful guy behind the counter. A bit on the pricey side, but a great little spot.

Great food, beautiful location and really nice atmosphere. Well worth checking out if you're out for a walk in Leazes Park or looking for something different for lunch in town.

Really friendly service, amazing coffee and sells bird feed so you can pass the time drinking your coffee, would recommend!

Hemos visitado el parque varias veces desde el encierro para pasear a nuestros perros y ahora este café es nuestro lugar de comida favorito para visitar en Newcastle. El café es increíble y la pizza deliciosa, y no hay nada mejor que sentarse junto al lago mientras disfruta de la deliciosa comida y bebida. Hoy comimos la pizza de queso de cabra junto con capuchinos.

Davvero buono, e carinissimi sempre. Un posto spettacolare accanto al laghetto!

Food is delicious and the staff are very friendly and welcoming highly recommended this place xxx

Charged me £1.60 for a can of coke which had a 79p price printed on the can!!

Small cafe offering a range of hot and cold foods. Beautiful location and ideal for a quick lunch. Recommend the pizza.

Lovely coffee The man working here spot on, brilliant service. Little gem of Newcastle.

nice view of leazes lake and park, decent parking space

Primera visita a este café (comida para llevar solo por el momento). Solo fui a tomar un par de cafés, pero el servicio y la configuración fueron increíbles.Los dos italianos que sirvieron fueron súper amables y cuando mencioné que mi hija y yo íbamos a volar hoy a Venecia y luego a Roma (lamentablemente cancelado debido a COVID) nos dieron cannoli gratis para acompañar el café. Bonito gesto, y chico, ¿estaban buenos los cannoli?Vaya y apoye este pequeño negocio. . volveremos para probar la comida!Grazie! !

I had ordered online from the tower cafe with looking at the reviews and I was impressed by the service the food is fantastic fresh authentic Italian food... I will definitely be ordering again thanks again

A lovely little cafe with outside seating

friendly staff, good services. order takes longer than thought, however the view and the nice weather make it easier at the time of visit. There are clean, well maintained toilets

Lovely little cafe... great selection of food and drinks.

Amazing hidden gem, go and get some authentic Italian pizza and much more !

Surprisingly ambitious range of food available here. But great for just a quick cup of coffee too. No inside seating, just a terrace, with a few tables and a nice view.

My favourite park in Newcastle! I absolutely adore the lake in the middle, and the animals that live there are so cute! Nothing more relaxing than having a family of ducks surround you when you're eating lunch. The bandstand is a gorgeous piece of architecture and the events held here (such as the allotment fête) are great! Very peaceful and serene park that is kept exceedingly clean.

Good for walk, family time out, paid parking available

The leazes park is near from our stay, leazes park area is clean

Lovely spot in Newcastle. Worth a walk around.
