Food is fine, large tables make the place feel a little cramped and service can be intermittent particularly in busy times. There are tables "outside" (i.e. in the mall), but they can get a bad draft from the mall entrance if the weather is bad, so be prepared to keep your coat on.

I've always enjoyed the food here, but rarely had a chance to visit. Recently, however, I've found…read moremyself eating here at least once a week and I'm gradually working my way around the menu. I've not had a bad dish so far, the ingredients have been pretty much as I expected for the location and price range, so far the most notable dish has been the buttermilk pancakes with bacon. Having just spent some time on New York, I can say that these are well up to the standard you would get in any NY diner and (unusually for the UK) come with a decent amount of maple syrup. The only thing that could be done to improve the dish would be to make it with crisped streaky bacon rather than the usual English cut, but that's a minor point. Seven extra lbs probably indicates I did a little too much "research" on the subject. One thing I do find slightly odd in a café named for a famous landmark in Brazil and featuring so many pictures of Rio is that they don't seem to be offering any Brazilian inspired dishes. Dishes tried so far: English Breakfast (with white toast) Eggs Benedict Breakfast Stack Brunch Muffin Buttermilk Pancakes French Toast with Bacon Sugarloaf Burger Sugarloaf Vegi-Burger (late lunch & they'd run out of burgers) Sugarloaf Hot Dog Fine Steak Sandwich Caesar Salad Spicy Chicken Fillet Burger (a daily special)

In the winter you can have a brisk walk along the seafront and then relax with a nice cup of tea and watch people getting blown away outside. In the summer you can chill out with a 99 cone. Many of the staff are the same staff who served me when I was a kid so it has a lovely family theme to the place and can get quite popular in the summer. It's just a nice place to relax, put your feet up and enjoy with wonderful views of the sea and beach outside.

What a lovely little cafe in Tynemouth - why don't we have more places like this in Newcastle?…read more There's so much attention to detail in the decor. All of the sweets look absolutely amazing, but I just had lunch and tea. I had a Thai Chicken Salad for £7 and a pot of peppermint tea for £2, and both came out very quickly! The salad was full of vegetables, and the chicken was marinated in a very flavorful dressing. The meal was fresh and light, and really hit the spot after a long walk. My friend also really enjoyed her Indian chicken wrap thing, which was huge! Much bigger portion than mine and it looked delicious. I'd come back anytime I'm in town, everyone's food looked gorgeous coming out of the kitchen, with lots of fresh produce and vibrant colors. Just what a cosy cafe should be. I only wish they had loose tea instead of teabags.
