Choose one of the fabulous Base Coffee drinks or select from the range of herbal teas. For morning snacks try the sausage rolls, croisants or scone with fresh jam. Then later in the day you must try the home baked apple pie of one of the delicious (but huge) tray bakes. Base Coffee is not just a coffee shop, it's a hub for many regulars and undoubtedly you will very quickly feel welcome.

Great little cafe near the water. A spot in the sun with the morning sun and a delicious coffee and breakfast was served real morning treat.

Came in for ice creams at the ice cream counter to be served very quickly by the red haired supervisor. Very nice very friendly. However we had to wait in the queue for over 5 minutes with melting ice cream whilst this young petite girl standing at the counter decided not only to take her time taking money she started casually talking to her mate who was in before us while we had ice cream over our hands. Started to get fed up and noticed she stopped talking and then thought she was going to take our money eventually, nope she started talking to a member of staff not knowing who two ice cream sundaes belonged to. I had to pipe up, are you going to take our money here ? And the girl looked so ignorantly at me took my tenner and then slammed the change in my hand. That girl needs a lesson in running a busy ice cream shop where it took seconds to get the ice cream but wait in a queue to pay. This is an issue that I’m sure people will avoid again due to not wanting to buy a melted ice cream. At then end we had to gulp the ice cream down as by the time we got outside to enjoy it half of it was gloop dripping all over the place.

After an Easter birthday meal in Belfast, this week it was back to our favourite restaurant in Newcastle and we weren't disappointed, as usual. The food was superb, up to the standards of our previous week's meal in Belfast and brilliant value for money, well below Belfast prices. Starters, mains, veg sides, drink, service all excellent.

Lovely gluten free cheese and ham toastie with a nice fresh salad and coleslaw. The lady who served me was very friendly and helpful.

Just what we need to satisfy the ole sweet-tooth. Great service, we were in and out in 10-12 minutes. Great ice cream, the rum raisin was especially good.

We called in on Friday 4th April, 25 at approx 10.30am. There was one lady in front of us trying to choose a scone, 3 of the staff were attending to her, we were ignored. We were looked at, no smiles, no conversation, just ignored. Other people came in behind us who also had to wait. This is not the first time we have noticed this response. We left, we will not be back. Would not recommend.

We were here for a beer. I hope it will be open soon. This bar had nice atmosphere, we enjoyed our visit here.

Coffee - tasty. Food - inedible. We ordered sausage rolls and they were visibly blue moulded. Staff response ‘oh..sorry’ then had to queue for a refund.. just a really awkward experience. I assumed the remaining sausage rolls on display would have been removed immediately.. they weren’t 🤢 Even though the coffee was nice, sadly the food and experience that day is enough to make me never want to go back.
