Thyme Square Cafe in Newcastle upon Tyne

Lovely food and wonderful service! Will defo be coming back

The full English to take away was very good. The woman who served me was lovely. Very happy and attentive. I will definitely be returning.

Spontaneous visit. Genuinely glad we came. The owner/server was unbelievably kind & really welcoming. Considering they where on their own they had full English & vegetarian full English made to perfection & quickly. We didn't mind waiting though as it was quiet, the atmosphere with classical music in the background was something different but much enjoyed! We ended up giving the owner/server a large tip as they couldn't have been any more accomodating. I highly recommend this place - if you want a relaxed breakfast please take a trip to this wonderful cafe you honestly won't regret it. Will be going back again & again.

Absolutely amazing customer service. Very home-ish atmosphere and generous portions of food.

Lovely staff, lovely little cafe. The owners and staff are so friendly and work hard. Food is beautiful, all fresh and cooked exactly how you like! I’ve had bacon and sausage sandwhiches & chicken tikka wraps and its all beautiful fresh and home made

Lovely food , relaxing vibe and attentive service . Thank you.

Staff were super friendly, my fajita chicken panina was great 👌

Amazing place great food and very friendly staff

Great place and has amazing food

Coffee is amazing. Staff were lovely and attentive. Really nice place. We didn't try the food but the menu looks fab and reasonably priced. Defo be back

Been to this café several times now. It is one of my favourites in Newcastle. Had the veg full English last time. It was delicious. Very good value for money. Big portion. Tried the Asian tea too. Liked it very much.

Amazing food, will be a repeating customer. Amazing customer service.

Amazing service and the coffee was soo good, would 100% recommend.

We visited on Thursday and ordered 2 lattes, and 2 Mexican wraps. The wait was very long, 45 minutes and when the food arrived my partner burned his hand on the plate. We should have been warned, or the plates should have been changed. We took the food home as we couldn't wait any longer. It was tasteless and fatty. Unfortunately we won't be returning.

Really love this cafe. A quick meal with a very good quality of food. A wide variety of food to choose and the price is very reasonable. The service is good too. Will surely come back in the future.

Excellent Breakfast. Probably best in Newcastle. Quality ingredients used, best black pudding I’ve eaten. Very good value for money, cheaper than Morrisons.

Best breakfast in Newcastle. Black pudding is incredible

Good food helpful staff reasonable price. thanks.

The food was absolutely amazing and so was my drink and the service was amazing too, will definitely be back.

Had a quick lunch with my friend today in this little cafe. We had order wrap, rice and dessert. Especially, the rice is super fresh. Taste homemade and very good quality. Good price. The lady is very lovely and helpful. We will surely come back when we are in the area. Highly recommend!!!!

Siamo state in questo locale per fare colazione ci è piaciuto talmente tanto il primo giorno che siamo tornate il giorno successivo la proprietaria è una persona gentilissima e il cibo è squisito e i prezzi sono veramente economici! Non vediamo l’ora di tornare a Newcastle per poter mangiare ancora qui 😀

I ordered a smoked salmon egg Benedict while my husband ordered a big breakfast today. Very good quality. All food are cooked just right. Much better than the restaurants in the city centre!!! Very reasonable price too. The lady said the food was prepared by her. We are so proud of her, she works so hard, her cooking is super good. And, she is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this cafe to everyone! We will definitely come back (:

Very friendly lady who served us, I had the soap of the day and the Asian tea. Very nice. Kids also eat free with a adult meal. Will be back.

Amazing service the loveliest lady at the front counter, food was delicious!! a great price for a lot of food and everything was cooked perfectly, will definitely visit again!

Went in for a latte and a bacon and sausage, was absoulty amazing and best service! Food was great.

Love this place will go again. The food was very good. Very good choice. Good portion and reasonably priced. Very friendly and charming owner. Clean. Very good service. Good coffee. Loved the asian tea too. Free wifi.

Food takes ages. Won’t be returning Shambles

Great food, with a nice chilled out environment, Excellent customer service. Great place to eat, would definitely return.

Great food , great service, highly recommend mega breakfast 👍

A brilliant place to eat. Super friendly staff and tasty, quality food at such reasonable prices. I would recommend 100%!

The food here is great. The atmosphereis lovely. And the lady and her family who run it are the nicest people. Thanks for making me feel so welcome.

I'm glad to hear that you had a positive experience with your order! Here's a suggested comment for you: I recently ordered a full English breakfast with a cappuccino, and it was absolutely fantastic! The meal was not only delicious and served in a generous portion, but it also provided great value for money. The lady was friendly and helpful, which made the overall experience even more enjoyable. I felt comfortable throughout my visit. Highly recommended!

The loveliest family run cafe. Amazing value and the staff are so friendly

Visited this cafe on the 17th December. Upon walking through the door, we were ambushed by a very flustered lady shouting that the touch screen order does not work, and we have to write out our own orders. This was repeated many times like we are idiots. We gave our order and waited. And waited. And waited. 45 minutes later, 2 baskets of stale crisps arrived at the table with apologies about the wait. We were the only customers in the establishment. 4 drinks finally arrived after asking for them to come before the food. 1 hour and 20 minutes to receive the food. Now, if the food was lovely, we would have dismissed the wait, but it was vile, cold, and inedible. Gone off bacon and sausage, cold beans, eggs that tasted like they had been fried in cat urine! And toast like patio slabs. The only thing decent on the plate was the hash browns. We did feel sorry for the lady in charge as it seemed like she was cooking, taking orders, serving and everything else, despite having two workers there with her but they where as helpful as a chocolate teapot. We did laugh about our experience but will definitely not go back or recommend unless we want to stitch people up. A quick bite to eat before travelling home turned into nearly 2 hours of mayhem.

Warm welcome, delicious food and nice place. The waitress does her best to please the customers. I totally recommand this place. Only negative point : the place was a bit cold (but i'm sure if i had asked, she'd have turned the heat on 😇

Friendly, great value for money food. Only a few negatives; too many labels on the walls and there was an elderly gentleman sat watching videos on his phone with the sound on. Would definitely go back though and recommend.

Delicious food and brilliant service. Full English cooked to perfection. Staff are super friendly and make you feel very welcome. Will be definitely be coming back! :)

Sweetest lady served us and food was excellent. Would definitely come back if in the area again. Self service and speedy delivery.

Really delicious full English breakfast and great value for money

Rotten. Gave to the dogs. Come back Paul.

Under new management. *Great* value. We had a veggie Full English and a jacket potato; both well cooked, generous and as affordably priced as you’ll find anywhere. The lady now running it is clearly making a huge effort relaunching it after it being closed a while. The cafe has the same decor as before so she’s not had chance to put her mark on it yet. However she’s super friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Really hope this succeeds. Thoroughly recommend giving it a go.

A nice place for a coffee and a cake at a good location in Gosforth near the metro. Dine-in and take away available. Will definitely visit again.

Fantastic service and food. Under new management. I went with my kids and we all had amazing English breakfasts. My youngest daughter had a lovely egg sarny on a huge stottie too!

This cafe is now under new management. Visited for a spot of breakfast. Food is cooked to order, all fresh, so don't expect instant service. Lovely host, very friendly.

Tried to go for breakfast this morning after seeing all the good reviews.... turned up 9.30am .... was closed & according to Google it was open from 9.00am.... very disappointing as we had travelled in from the coast ....

Best breakfast in Newcastle. the mackem with tiny hands loved it even tho they had no panda pop!!!!!

We live local and often pop in here because the food and drink is great aswell as the warm, friendly welcome from the staff.

Great breakfast place! Coffee was nice too.

What an amazing place. A really interesting and diverse menu and super portions. Will definitely be back.

Visited for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Although small, this was a pleasant cafe serving a good selection of cooked breakfasts. Service was quick and the food very tasty.

Breakfast was excellent and reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend and will be back!

Beautiful and nice place with a brilliant breakfast selection and the food quality to go with it. Price was on point. Service was quick and the atmosphere friendly. Only slight issue which is not the fault of the cafe is the parking is awful.

never had a disappointing meal here! the breakfast is amazing, the tea is lush, the cakes are worth the extra 30 mins in the gym! staff are friendly, i warn you to wear "comfy pants" as you will be stuffed in a very good way!

We live nearby and decided to make impromptu one Sunday. We we're so impressed. We're definitely going to be back. It was so reasonable in price. We got massive glasses of Fresh orange and two very needed large coffees that were really good. I had the breakfast burrito which If you pick any three fillings, you get free cheese! It was so yummy and there was so much choice for filling. My other half had a flying start breakfast which he also really enjoyed. The Sausages were a particular favourite mention and you got two slices of toast with it-most places only give you one. We're looking forward to coming back again soon!

Sprog5 and his beloved brought me here in the summer. I'm up for their engagement party, starting just around the corner. Been looking forward to this breakfast for weeks. Not disappointed!

I visited at lunch time and was greeted very well. Pleasant and upbeat start. The cafe is immaculate, clean and tidy. Customer service from the owner and wait staff was first rate. Having ordered a full English breakfast with coffee I engaged in some friendly conversation with the team. Food arrived promptly and was well presented. Obviously using quality products to ensure good taste works. Every item tasted lovely and there was certainly enough food to fill even the most healthy appetite. I can definitely recommend this local cafe and I’m sure I will be a regular. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Driving on the A1, we googled breakfast and discovered Thyme Square … what an amazing find! Warm, friendly welcome and great food. Well worth taking time out of the journey for!

Visiting Newcastle for the races. Called at the Thyme Square for breakfast and weren't disappointed. A friendly welcome and a sizeable tasty full English, nice and hot. Delicious hot chocolate too. Very friendly staff that we enjoyed chatting to.

I don't often post but ..... Just had a beautiful breakfast here. I won't forget it and I'm a breakfasty kind of guy. I ordered the start me up with some crispy bacon and a sausage. All was made with love and tasted really great. The coffee too was really really good. I would def return if it wasn't for the fact I live in London but to all you Aidens fans ...... try this, it's truly great food, a lovely place served by lovely people. Well done !!

Another excellent visit. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly. The scrambled eggs are the best I’ve ever had. Always a friendly welcoming atmosphere.

Not the first time I’ve been here. The service is just pure friendly as soon as you step food in the cafe. The food is dead quick and you get portions that fill you right up for a mint price. The cake selection is amazing and all the food I’ve ever ordered from here just always tastes insane! Defo recommend if you’re in the area. Friendly staff with phenomenal food! X

Absolute banger, forgot to take a pic first. The burger overly satisfied my hungry little stomach! Chips were amazing and the staff are friendly and accommodating! Top tier service and food! Definitely coming back!

Visited here after friend recommended lovely little gem staff were very friendly the quality of the food was great will definitely be returning

Amazing visit today with a nice atmosphere . Staff very friendly and meal was amazing I had kick start “delicious” and very reasonably priced. Daughter had burrito and choose her 3 fillings looked appetising she enjoyed it. Would recommend.

It was quiet but very welcoming, clean but cosy, a really pleasant vibe and the food was good quality fresh upmarket tasty cafe fayre. Coffee was quality as well and all in all its great value. We will definitely be returning soon.

Saw your Christmas Stottie post and had to give it a try… we weren’t disappointed! Absolutely delicious 10/10. Lovely friendly staff too… we’ll definitely be back 😊

Thyme Square is my all time favourite place to meet up for breakfast with my friend. The quality of the food is outstanding and its fantastic value for money. Well worth the short walk from Gosforth High Street. Not only is the food amazing but the customer service is great unlike other venues. I'm treated like royalty and will continue to support Thyme Square.

Love coming here for lunch.food is delicious and good quality.very good value.paul always looks after his customers.i highly recommend the salmon/prawn fishcakes.

Lovely food, hot and freshly prepared. Great service

I have visited on a number of occasions and never been disappointed yet. I often eat the breakfasts and these are not only voluminous but also of the very highest quality. If asked where are best places to eat lunch or breakfast in the North East I would certainly say that Thyme Square must be one of the best.

Nipped to the Thyme Square Cafe this dinner time as I couldn't be bothered to cook for myself. So glad I did. Home made steak pie with rustic wedges and vegetables. Absolutely crammed full of steak. Wedges were perfect. Couldn't fault it. I followed up...

Love this place! We had 2 vegan and 1 vegetarian breakfast last Sunday and it was superb. Everything cooked to perfection as usual. Thank you Paul, I wish I lived nearer but will make sure I visit the next time I'm in the area.

Another amazing visit. Dog friendly too. Tried the new burger on the menu where your can pick what toppings you want. Would highly recommend a visit and highly recommend the burger.

Great breakfast and lunch. Great service, food and drink. Their coffee is good proper coffee. I come here often either on my own or with my partner.

I came on here to write a glowing review only to find that the most recent review from Kay S says all that I was going to say! I will simply reinforce her points that the quality of food and friendliness of Paul and his...

I’ve just had an impromptu breakfast here this morning and expected it to be good. It was so good in fact that I’m almost lost for words. I opted for the kick start breakfast with crispy bacon and couldn’t get over how absolutely beautifully cooked...

Popped in not knowing what I fancied, I ended up having a chicken causer salad, it wasn't on the menu but the owner happy russled it up for me. It was delicious it had warm chicken and crispy bacon on it, with lots of crunchy salad , loads of dressing and grated parmasan. It should definitely be on the special board. It's a must try.

Another visit today with great welcome as always, food well I had eggs Benedict and it was 10 out of 10. Every time this place hits the spot… would not go anywhere else!
