YMCA Cafe in North Tyneside

Beware as Google maps told us it was closed on Saturdays but it is open. It's a lovely bright space, comfortable for hours of chat without feeling you should leave! Good menu choices. Coffee was good. Friendly service. A great find!

Orderd one of the amazing salads for my lunch today . I work in North shields rang up and collected 10 min later highly recommende food was ready when I arrived and staff were really friendly. Salade was fresh and tasted amazing.

Brilliant cafe for a good cause. Really tasty toastie and latte. Excellent choice on the menu and prices were excellent

Love to use this place after the gym. Very warm and inviting place! The food is very good and very reasonably priced. Well worth a try 👍

Second time I've been here and have really enjoyed it both times. Staff are lovely and friendly. Nice clean environment.

I visited Cafe 1879 for the first time today as I was looking for somewhere quiet to feed and change my baby. The cafe is spacious and clean, and the staff were friendly. But the main reason I’ll be returning is because I had the best cheese scone I’ve ever eaten (along with a generous pot of tea). I would recommend Cafe 1879 to anyone looking for somewhere to grab a drink or bite to eat in North Shields.

We'd been trekking the Hadrians wall path and decided to finish at Tynemouth. With sore feet and empty bellies my wife spotted the YMCA. A spacious, clean, warm and tastefully decorated environment with friendly staff and great food, which is very well priced too. We'll worth a look if you are in the area. Faultless, hence 5*

I was due to meet some one for work and they didn't come but I had a lovely bacon butty. Staff are very friendly, it is clean and has a great atmosphere. I was also able to get some work done with reliable free WiFi.

Me and my family are regulars as the coffee is excellent and the scones are fresh and delicious as well as the other food and drinks. Highly recommend and great value for money. The staff are great and play a big part in the atmosphere and happy customers 😀

Great spot in North Shields with lovely food and clean airy dining space. Worth a visit for sure! Deserves lots of support.

I popped in here for the first time today as I was up from North Yorkshire visiting a friend. I had the lasagne which was one of the best I’ve ever had and having an Italian heritage that has to be good. I really enjoyed my visit and the lady who took my payment was really pleasant and made me feel really welcome. I think her name was Shona but apologise if I’m wrong. She came over as passionate about what she does and it was evident that she cares. The place itself was spotlessly clean and I would recommend it 110%. I wish we had one of these cafes where I live. Please open one in Yorkshire but it would need a Shona and her team or it wouldn’t be the same. Thank you.

The staff and food are excellent and it is great value for money. The staff are so friendly. There are not enough words to say how good they are. The food is first class

The YMCA in North Shields is friendly clean and a delight to visit. The staff are helpful and very pleasant. Prices are good too. Has a limited menu but everything served up fresh. Highly recommended.

We popped in today having never been before and the place and staff were amazing. Food was very fresh and we were even given some extra chocolates! The staff were great with my young daughter who kept her entertained and happy throughout our visit. Thank you so much

I visit here regularly and can honestly say it is the best place to eat and drink in shields. The food is homemade and fresh every day, the coffee amazing and the staff friendly and helpful. Certainly worth a visit if you're near by!

I regularly come here with my family for a coffee/hot chocolate and a catch up. The staff are lovely, the cafe is immaculate and the coffee, breakfasts and cakes are lovely and great value.

I work from the ymca cafe on a regular basis, there is always a nice ambience, the staff are friendly, the coffee is outstanding and the food is excellent, all at a reasonable price as well!!
