The Vintage Powder Room and Tea Shop in North Tyneside

Always had a fantastic experience with great food and service with Andrew and Alex. Unfortunately the last visit before it changes hands left me with an awful experience that will leave me with a negative memory. One of their staff was rude, pushy and plainly bullying. A long haired woman, who always seemed through various vsits create a less than positive atmosphere when left to run the cafe. Hoping she is not going to be left behind to work in the new cafe to open at the location, would not be a positive start for them. Such a shame after all the hard work by Alex and Andy and pleasure they have brought to so many people.

Simple floral themed decoration. Fantastic ‘old fashioned’ cutlery and crockery. Good menu choice at OK prices, including delicious paninis. Proper tea (with leaves and a strainer). Friendly owner/staff. The whole experience evoked memories of tea at nans. What’s not to like?

Brought my neighbour for afternoon tea to celebrate her birthday. Our welcome could not have been warmer, even asked for her favourite singer and played their music during our visit. So nice to be able to select your own afternoon tea items from an extensive menu. Food was delicious and the presentation was just perfect. Lovely atmosphere with great decor. It’s obvious the whole team take a real pride in providing delicious food in this well loved establishment. I highly recommend you give this lovely tea room a try!

I came here for lunch and not only was my coffee delicious but so was the food BUT OMG the cakes and sweet treats 😍 best cake I think I've ever had actually and all home made by the owner - who is so welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend this place!

After trailing the other cafes on the road this was the only place that was serving scones and they were just on their way fresh to the counter. Best scone, real scone in Whitley Bay so far. Posher places cannot match them at this cafe, and they are not small! The best homemade experience. Will not be going anywhere else now.

Popped in for a cuppa with my wife and daughter, and ended up having lunch too after seeing the menu. We all had the savory cream teas, which were fresh, homemade and absolutely delicious. The staff were really friendly and attentive. We'll deffo be back soon 👌🏻

What a treat..... Popped in for a cup of tea, when the charming gentleman at the till told us that there were hot scones almost ready to be plated up.....Well say no more....yes please. My sister wanted the fruit one and I plumped for the cheese. Our lovely man told us that we should then opt for the high~tea scone combo, which included jam and cream and tea, or cheese and pickle with tea. The perfect choice. Scones were light and very, very tasty......... Lovely atmosphere in the cafe, light and airy..... Thank you

Excellent scone and tea. A very nice young man was serving he was very friendly and had very good customer service

Lovely coffee and the kids really enjoyed their milkshakes. While everyone loved their cakes that they had chosen from the big selection of choice they had here. Very good sizes of cake too and not one of the kids could eat it all. Ran by a very friendly couple that made us feel extremely welcomed, I would certainly go back again for coffee and cake, with gluten free option too.

Lovely vintage theme, really friendly and helpful front of house staff, well worth a visit.Afternoon tea was gorgeous

Lovely vintage theme, really friendly and helpful front of house staff, well worth a visit! We had a cheese scones (with butter, cheese & pickle) and a cuppa - the cakes also looked delicious Hope to visit again if back the area to try the eggs Benedict with homemade hollandaise! Highly recommended : )

We stopped by today after a visit to the town and stumbled across The Vintage Powder room whilst looking for some lunch. I can honestly say the best Mocha I've had in a very long time, food was all lovely and really great quality. I had serious food envy of the club sandwich it was huge and my partner said it was really tasty. Service was amazing and prices were so reasonable. Would definitely recommend

Had the most gorgeous piece of Malteser chocolate cake today. Cakes are always top class. Looking forward to further visits! The man in charge is always super friendly too

I cannot recommend afternoon tea more highly. I am vegan and my family are not. Both were well worth the money and very tasty. Being vegan can be hard to find an afternoon tea but this was great I didn’t have to miss out on any of it. We certainly be back

We walked especially here from the seafront on the strength of the TripAdvisor reviews and we were not disappointed. We shared a cheese scone and a piece of vegan plum and ginger cake. The quality of the scone and cake were really excellent. The tea was lovely quality too and the owner was really friendly. We will definitely be back.

Loved this place! The service & decor were both spot on & the biscoff caramel slice was the best I’ve ever had (& I’ve had a few over the years!). Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Thank you x Gina & Craig

Lovely tea room with stunning cakes to pair with your tea and coffee. My Banoffee pie was one of the best I have had and I have had a few! We started with Eggs Benedict for breakfast and the Hollandaise sauce was clearly made by a pro. Service was great and the vintage china cups we drank out of made it even more special. Highly recommended.

I was my friend in Whitley Bay and coming from Norway, I had made a wish for English afternoon tea. What a lucky choice this was! The sandwiches were fresh and tasty, the quiche was yummy, the scones were sooo good and the cakes - we didn't have room for the cakes, which we brought with us home and very much enjoyed later in the evening. The staff was very kind and service-minded. The cafe itself is cosy and sweet, and it feels like walking into your grandmother's house. Everything - including toilets - was nice, clean and tidy.

Stumbled across this spot while wandering around town and very glad we did! Just a quick cuppa and a scone - delicious and really friendly service…. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you to the staff for helping when my husband fell in the cafe on Wednesday this week. A special thanks to the young gentleman who was the first aider. He really went the extra mile. My husband was shaken up a little but happy...

Fantastic service. Very friendly and attentive. Lovely fruit scone and mars bar scone with coffee and a latte. Would definitely recommend to everyone xxx

Booked this after it was recommended by a colleague. It was very quiet when we arrived and we were greeted by staff immediately who asked if we wanted our nails done before or after the afternoon tea. We choose before and we’re shown to the back room (used for treatments and parties) and both my daughter and I got our nails painted in our chcoice of colours. We were also offered a choice of a good variety of drinks whilst we got our nails done. The lady was very chatty and friendly and the atmosphere was very relaxed (unlike other beauty and afternoon tea places!). Afterwards we went back through to the tea shop and another lady came to ask my preferences for scones, cake and sandwiches (also lots of variety). The food came in good time and was presented immaculately! Everything was delicious and we couldn’t finish it so took the rest home in a doggy bag!I also asked for a hot chocolate for my little girl, expecting to pay extra but I wasn’t charged for this.£30 for everything we had which is excellent value.A lovely place, wonderful staff and we will be returning!

Having eaten afternoon teas all over the country , most of which cost me far more, I can honestly say what a breath of fresh air the vintage tearooms was .

We had a Groupon deal for this venue and enjoyed the food however there was a question mark about the choice of sandwiches that we wished for but.... what was served up was very enjoyable.

I went here with my wife this morning, great atmosphere and the cafes decor is great, very friendly staff, and the food was perfect, couldn't recommend enough.

Have eaten here several times and today popped in for a takeaway cake. Every time the cakes have been so delicious and really original. Sticky toffee cake today was to die for and my favourite in the past has been apple crumble cake. All homemade. Can’t wait to return and try some more!

Lovely place with a relaxing atmosphere. The staff are very freindly and attentive I've visited many times, the food is excellent lots of delicious cakes and yummy scones and the coffee is good. Everything here is emaculate Love the vintage style and the music.

Been here a few times for breakfast and lunch and always found the food and coffee to be good. Nice to see a twist on the normal run of the milll with this cafe being themed on 1940/50s. Very good selection of home made cakes.

A lovely walk and needing refreshments my husband and myself stopped by for Coffee and Cake, having had good reports, I had bought my daughter an afternoon tea voucher so was keen to see the place for myself as she had said it had been very nice.

We stumbled on this little gem on Saturday while visiting family in the area. I had the English breakfast, which was one of the best I’ve had, everything was perfectly cooked. The staff were lovely, very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. A really lovely little place, the vintage decor & the crockery we lovely little touches. Would definitely reccommend.

Visited today,with friends,for afternoon tea,which was excellent. Staff very friendly and attentive. Even told us about a lock bar,at Monkseaton Metro Station,which was also a good visit. We are going back in two weeks to try the breakfast!!

Well I had the absolute pleasure of having afternoon tea at The Vintage Powder Room and Tea shop yesterday! I am not usually one for writing reviews but this place totally deserves the recognition for the absolute delight that they are!

We had an afternoon tea courtesy of Charlotte (daughter), here today and it was wonderful. Fresh homemade food and exceptionally friendly staff. I can recommend the Orange Blossom tea light and refreshing.

visited this afternoon for afternoon tea Staff soo friendly and couldnt fault the service Tea was hot and sanwiches,cakes and scones all fresh Just perfect will definatly go back

This was a treat from my son and it was lovely staff very friendly sandwiches and cakes were delicious but the scones were by far the best .Tea served in a china teapot with china cups and saucers what more could you ask for

Took my elderly Mother for a belated Mothers Day Afternoon Tea. Was able to make a booking over the phone which was ideal as I needed to know we would be able to get in.The selection of sandwiches was lovely and everything tasted as good as they looked. Have to say the scones were the best I have ever had, absolutely perfect! It was all served on vintage china and a full pot of tea. The decor in the shop is lovely and the staff were very warm and friendly. On the way home my Mum told me she had once been treated to Afternoon Tea at the Ritz when she lived down south and todays Afternoon tea was better than that!! What more can I say 5* all the way. We will return.

Visited this little tea room for our Morhers Day Treat. Lovely warm atmosphere, very friendly welcome from all staff. Scones were baked fresh and still warm, cake and fancies were very nice if a little crammed onto the plates. If i had to give one slight criticism, no choice given for sandwiches which resulted in 2 of our party not having any. Other than that very nice.

I took my mother for afternoon tea. Everything was home made and delicious. There was ample in fact we brought cake home. They also do manicures, make up and vintage hair. They also do kids parties. Staff are excellent.

Lovely afternoon tea. All freshly made. Choice of cheese, fruit or apricot and almond scone, various sandwiches and yummy cakes. Good value for money. Friendly attentive staff. Nice ambience. Definitely worth a visit.

This was our first visit to the Vintage Powder rooms & it was fantastic.

Came with my Wife, Daughter in law and Grandson for afternoon snacks. This place is so welcoming, and drinks are reasonably priced and of a high quality. We all enjoyed are visit and will return.

Tuvimos un estupendo té helado y té de la tarde para los niños. A los niños les encantó su strawberry batidos! Presentación preciosa y variedad de tortas. Gran ambiente. ¡volveremos!

Called in as looked so welcoming and different, lovely friendly staff We ordered breakfast and eggs benidict which I have to say was the best full English Iv had tasted amazing fresh and loads of it, then when we saw the freshly homemade cakes had to have a slice and it was lovely and moist, will defo be coming again and recommend to people

Excelente servicio, muy servicial. Buena selección de comida sana para el almuerzo. Incluso mejor son las deliciosas tartas abundante y emocionante. Sabores realmente inusual pero siempre tan buena. La mayoría de tiempo que comer media y llevar el resto como y comer demasiado. Tema pascua era increíble, pero debo decir que bueno todo el año. Y ahora ha significado mucho cuidado de poner un comentario, por mucho, la mejor tarta en Whitley Bay.

Esta es la tercera vez que mi esposa y yo hemos estado aquí y cada vez ha sido excepcional. El menú tiene un montón de opciones. Mi favorito es el chaleco de patatas con chili con carne, y viene con ensalada y otras adiciones todos por 5 libras. 25. La chaqueta de patata es la mejor que he probado y es excelente. Mi esposa usualmente tiene la scones y sabor delicioso. Las bebidas también son de alta calidad y muy buen precio. Yo estaría encantado de pagar mucho más que la comida y las bebidas son de tal calidad. No podemos esperar a volver.

Popped in for a quick sarnie for lunch.

Tenía un té por la tarde, aquí con mi hija y mi nieta, comida, bocadillos, bollos y pasteles, se sirve en una torta, puesto cansado y Prosecco. Té bagatelas Si tuviera alguna queja, sería que estaba muy concurrido y personal a llevar teteras de té caliente cuando había bebés en sillas altas. Quizás se debería ir a situar sillas altas cerca de las paredes de los pasillos, la distancia de 7 meses nieta me encantó y volveré a ir de nuevo pero como ella se colocarán de manera posible perjudica

had an afternoon tea with my daughter. it was gorgeous but a bit mean with the jam and cream. only one tiny portion between two. think the portions have reduced a bit from last time we were there.

Went for afternoon tea today with a friend and even though we didn't have a booking we were warmly welcomed, sat by the window and promptly given a pot of tea with unique knitted teapot cover and quirky cups and saucers. Within 5 minutes we were presented with the afternoon tea which looked really amazing. 4 choices of finger sandwiches, crisps, large homemade scone, 2 different types of homemade cake and a delightful little trifle. You can also get a glass of prosecco for extra which of course we did. The tearoom is small but amazingly decorated in the 50s vintage style and the staff were lovely and very accommodating. I'd definitely be going back for afternoon tea again soon. Thank you for a fantastic experience

Tea Room was beautifully decorated & very quirky!Atmosphere was warm & inviting!Staff were polite, professional & friendly!Food/Drink were lovely & tasty, well presented & worth every penny!Will be recommending this to my friends & family and will definitely return soon!! ☕️

Was randomly walking past this place and decided to walk in with my wife and our daughter. The place is quite small and quirky. We both had some food and it was delicious, reasonably priced also. Would definitely go back and recommend people to pop in.

I live a few doors down from this beautiful tea room and it brightens my day every time I walk past, hand made, quirky decorations are gorgeous, the furniture is beautiful and the staff can't do enough to help. Everyone smiles, it's warm and inviting, great for kids and adults alike, perfect for a catch up or a quiet cuppa, afternoon tea is superb and it's just all round excellent, definitely worth a visit, you won't be disappointed

Booked a table for 3 for afternoon tea for a friend's 70th birthday. Firstly I had difficulty parking as on-street parking is only for an hour. Then we arrived to find all tables (only 6) were taken. We were assured that they had our booking and one would be free very soon so we were left standing in waitresses' way in the confined space until a table for 2 became available and we were invited to sit down to wait. After a long wait we eventually got a table. The afternoon tea itself was, I guess, OK. I have had much better but paid more, but my friend said she had also paid less and had better so ....... Also, it was quite cold and I regretted buying a new top for the occasion as I kept my coat on all the time! It was not a good day for the staff as a long strip of plastic fell from the ceiling, hitting one of the customers on the head! Because we were so late getting a table we were the only people left in the cafe but that was soon filled with workmen with stepladders!! On the plus side, I have to say that the staff were extremely pleasant and apologetic. We were offered tea or coffee while we waited and, as well as deducting one person from the bill, we also received a voucher for a future visit for afternoon tea for 3. I think that was very fair. However overall, I feel quite sad that our treat for our friend was disappointing. Perhaps they need to look at their policy on booking tables for the future.

My 4 year old daughter and I went to this every week after her dance class. The food is excellent, the tea is served in proper vintage cups and teapots with cosies, and the staff were really great. A perfect place when you're looking for somewhere for Brunch or Lunch.

My friend and I called here yesterday for lunch. We had the mince and dumplings and chicken and leek pie , perfect portions for both of us at lunchtime, lovely warming traditional winter food mmm , sadly no room for the delicious looking cakes , Good prices as it is clear that all is homemade, rare in this day , no bought in food here, friendly service and quirky surrounding s love it , we will deffinately be making this a regular thing

Visited the vintage powder room and tea shop yesterday for our third anniversary. I have to make a point in saying what a nice experience. We both had afternoon tea , a nice fresh selection of sandwiches, cream scones and a large slice of cake. Mmmmmm! The staff were friendly and the service efficient even though the place was busy. I recommend a visit thank you it made our day! See you soon.

Been here before for afternoon tea and it was ok. Called in on a Saturday afternoon and ordered proper food - by that I mean mince and dumplings, chicken and mushroom and leek pie and a breakfast. The place was quite busy and very very cramped. After waiting for ages, my daughter got her breakfast - on 2 plates because they didn't have a big enough plate! My mince and dumplings came next - a very small pot with lid on a tea plate, served with bread and butter. Inside the pot was the smallest amount of mince and a dumpling! Wouldn't have fed my 1 year old grandson, never mind me - and there were no vegetables to have with it - fresh or otherwise! My husband's pie was the same. Someone suggested to me that these might be 'vintage' type meals - but they do not carry a vintage type price!! It was extremely expensive for what it was and such a disappointment. The young waitress was wearing a dirty jumper and looked as if she had just fell out of bed. The older lady was very nice but got very flustered. All in all, not a good experience and I will not visit this establishment again.

We visited here for our first time. Wheelchair access is not impossible but not the best. The tearoom is small. It is in the town centre of Whitby. There are at least two other tearooms nearby. So it is a good place for proper Tearooms, should you want old fashioned traditional Tearooms and not Costa or Flaming Grill !There is a good choice for Vegetarians and people who cannot consume sugary products. Cleanliness is quite good. The interior is one tearoom. Which has attractive coloured tables , chairs and paintwork. The ornamentation is pretty , with old fashioned teapots displayed. I got the feeling it was Shabby Chic or, a Modern version of the 1930s and 1940s. It did not feel or look Victorian at all. The olde Coziness level was not huge. But the place was nice. The waitress was extremely polite , gracious and had a calm attitude. Even with another customer who complained about their food After eating it all. They are very happy to alter what's on the menu and cater for special diets. This is a massive Plus and a true sign that people care for the customer. There was no loud, pop music. Music was softly played and from the 1950s or 60s. One waitress had hair, make up and clothes that were a modern take on the 1940 s or early 1950s. Our food was nice. They have a decently imaginative menu. Our tea was presented in old fashioned tea pots, jug, cups and saucers. Which was delightful. The only downside was a rude woman with a new baby who banged into our table and upset the teas. She left it to her mother to apologise for her. For twenty minutes, she talked loudly , until they left. The place then returned to peacefulness. It's sad there are no rules to bar such individuals!There was room for our wheelchair inside. We sat in the two nice armchairs by the front window. The other seating is all standard wooden backed chairs with seat pads. Not the best for bad backs or neck illnesses. A nice tea room. A pleasant place. We will return.

I love that this place is slightly different from other cafes, the inside is really cute and vintage and the food is lovely.

Been a few times now and can't complain. Lovely little place. Friendly staff. Beautiful food. Certainly lives up to name.

Fantastic, quaint cafe..Loved the decor and ambience to the place, especially the knitted tea cosies for the tea pots. Food was lovely..Would definitely come back and try the afternoon tea.

If you are looking to go somewhere slightly different for Afternoon Tea, the Vintage Powder Room and Tea Shop in Whitley Bay is definitely worth a visit. Decorated in the style of years gone by, it’s a quirky place - with some of the staff even dressed up to match the vintage mood. I had been there previously for lunch but decided to take my mother for Afternoon Tea which at £8.95 was incredibly reasonably priced. A selection of freshly made sandwiches – including a vegetarian option– and one large scone each with clotted cream and jam were followed by a number of tempting cakes (we admitted defeat at this point and were given the uneaten items away in a goodie bag!) Additional special offers include various beauty and hair pampering sessions – but be warned, you would be well advised to book your table in advance – it was very busy when we visited and there are less than a dozen tables. Only complaint was that I was charged full price for a latte when I chose not to have the tea or coffee which was included in the Afternoon Tea – I had been advised a small extra charge would be made but I did not expect to be charged for the latte in full, in addition to the £8.95 which would have included a cup of tea or coffee anyway!

friendly, helpful staff, nice cosy tearooms with little nic nacs, nice interior decor, was like stepping back in time, nicely presented food, although myself personally found the scones a bit heavy, bite size sandwiches, sausage rolls cakes all very nice, will definitely go back.

Looking for somewhere new to have lunch with friends and found this little place. Fifties shabby chic, a tasty panini and a good pot of tea with home made cake to follow was just what the occasion called for. Parts still to be refurbished but it looks promising. I would definitely go again.

first , when we got there, the lady's were very polite and made a cup of tea for my mum and dad . I waited for my friends and as soon as they all arrived we all got started . While some of us were getting are hair and make up done they gave us nail plaits to draw on . I was the first one to get my make up done and i thought they done an amazing job, I had never looked so pretty before . Later on , i got my nails and hair done i had curls and roles in the top of my hair my hair was the most prettiest thing ever . For my nails i got pink sparkles and a light pink bass, my nails looked really good .A while after I got a stick on Tattoo and it stayed on for a while it peeled of because it was on my hand .After all of the pampa was finished , me and my friends had afternoon tea and it was delicious , they had a very large variety and lots of choice's of food . They had a very good service and i would defiantly go back there with friends or family.by Eleanor

Excellent, pleasant little eatery, clean and airy with a nice atmosphere. Vintage late 40's early 50's music playing in the background to add to the vintage feel.Food was well cooked and presented nicely. Service was excellent and welcoming. Worth a visit.

Its the first time i've visited here . Love the 1950's decor , the china tea cups , loads of small detail tthat makes this place a great expewrience. Great ambience Friendly attentive staff and fabulous fruit scone .Ill definately be back. Even tempted to have my hair and make up done next timex

A lucky find over bank holiday weekend. The kids enjoyed Reese's and Crunchie milkshakes, and I had a really good coffee (am a coffee snob so I know it was good!) Fantastic nicely presented cake and scone selection and even a gluten free scone for husband.Lovely environment with pleasant background music (50s? Wouldn't normally notice or comment on the music but put a smile on my face. Added to ambience) I didn't use the toilet facilities (which previous reviewer mentioned) so can't comment. Everything else spotlessly clean so I'm sure they would be too. The overall impression I got was that it's a business run with care and doing their best....Loved the idea of mum and daughter nails and various other such treats advertised on blackboards - just the kind of thing I would have gone for when my daughter was smaller!Would definitely call again and highly recommend if in Whitley Bay. Further benefit of easy parking across the road whereas seemed trickier elsewhere...Cakes were AMAZING!! Lovely ambience. Price seemed good. Try it!
