It's a cute little privately owned cafe on Olive Street just around the corner from The Bridges. I've been here quite a few times but I'll just outline the relevant points! Their chips (fries) are to die for! Thick cut and perfectly salted....seriously, you're crazy if you add more salt and you're crazy if you say there's too much salt on them......perrrrfffeeecccttt. Their hot drinks are lovely! Only ever tired their mocha but it didn't need any sweetening and that's a plus for me any day. Their desserts/cakes are delicccciiiouuuussss. And they're quite unique haha. American Peanut Butter cake, Oreo Delight, etc but you still got the classics like Lemon Meringue and raspberry tarts. Their paninis are ON POINT. Get their pesto and mozzarella panini, very yummy. They also have small or large English breakfast (both regular and veggie). The best part? I haven't had anything at this cafe that was over £5. A filling panini with chips and coleslaw is £4.50. The mocha and hot drinks are £2.20 and under. I've heard their milkshakes are delicious and they're only £2. You can do the Afternoon Tea deal (any cake with your choice of any tea or coffee) for £4. Staff is extremely friendly, kind, and interactive. Also, 10% student discount :) If you don't try this place soon, I'm gonna be really upset.....that's not very convincing but please go try it :) you won't be disappointed!

The Good Apple Cafe is a really cute small cafe and I think it actually just opened recently! As soon as you walk in, you're greeted the smiles of friendly staff members and a cozy setting of chairs and tables. Here's the big plus....this cafe is vegan! Have you ever tried vegan rocky road? Gluten-free Orange and passion fruit cupcakes? It's literally a world of wonders in there! Not only that, you've got yourself a vast selection of hot drinks, including an even greater selection of teas (no seriously there's actually a lot!). If you're hungry, that's it's own story. Lots of choices ranging from bagels to wraps and even yummy sweets! I'm gonna be super boring and just tell you right away I had a cappuccino despite all these choices lol! Other selections included a rooibos creme caramel tea (you read that correctly.....I've never smelled something so beautiful), regular black tea, matcha latte (delicious!), and a grilled cheese sandwich with a side of a latte. Everyone loved their choices! Prices are very reasonable: drinks are all under £2-3 depending on your selection and food is anywhere between £3-6! Free wifi for all you Internet lovers and they have a stack of magazines and novels in the corner in case you just wanna zone out for a bit. On our way out we managed to catch the barista taking freshly baked red velvet cupcakes out of the oven.....nothing better than seeing your food made fresh! Definitely recommend:) Ps the tea comes in cute little blue teapots and I don't know why I loved them so much but I hope you do too :)

The waitresses even dress the part with their dresses, makeup and hair perfectly quaffed. The food; well, I was pleasantly surprised.

Well expect that it's too far from Miami, Florida. But when in Hartlepool England check this place out for afternoon tea with great Hartlepool charm Prewar. Don't worry you'll be transported back to present times once you get the bill. Not incredibly pricey but not incredibly cheap either I'd say it's reasonable for the food, service and charm. Enjoy.

It's strikingly cosy, the food looked delicious and fresh, and the staff were bright and cheery. Not to mention, the swinging jazz music which welcomed us, which was a quirky addition. We knew we were on to something good when we entered to the most pleasant of aromas. 'What is that smell?!' - We just had to ask. It could have been a mixture of numerous delicious tasty concoctions but the overwhelming warm scent of 'the tangy Thai soup' oozing from the kitchen teased our hungry lunchtime bellies. With quite the selection of herbal tea, including some interesting loose leaf options, it's the perfect spot for tea in the toon. There's also fresh milkshakes too! I opted for a pot of apple and mint tea based on the waitress's recommendation and I wasn't disappointed. Mmm! We took a seat and awaited lunch whilst admiring the homely and bright interior. It wasn't long till I was in Thai soup heaven with a delicious bowl of thick, creamy, just-the-right-amount-of-spice tasty tang! Accompanied by a delicious tuna, cheese, olives and caramelised onion sandwich, it made for a fine lunch. Seriously yummy stuff and a mega bargain at just £4.50! This was a definite highlight of our time in Newcastle, for sure. And if Newcastle is on the cards again, I've no doubt that it'll be Settle Down that calls me back for lunch. Settle down and enjoy!
