    I've never tasted spring lamb like it. It was total tenderoni!

    I enjoyed my meal: 3 salad options plus a protein of beetroot and black bean balls. The mixed green…read moresalad could use some dressing but I was still okay with it knowing that I was eating fresh, organic, 'naked' food. The servers were very nice and the place has a constant flow of customers. Lovely to see a place with this ethos thriving in Newcastle.

    TLDR: Food was distinctly average and honestly, not worth it (for me). Don't care for the…read moreInstagram-Esque pretentious nature. I appreciate what this place is trying to be, but the execution of trying to be this millennial-feeding, instagram-worthy, health cafe is a little off. It's predictably expensive. Staff are ok, in relative terms they were ok. They are believers in their product, but maybe do not appreciate feedback highly enough? I got steak wrap and chips. Now, a tortilla isn't a taco. A taco or a tortilla isn't a wrap if it's just halved. A nice little taco you can fold over and chow on, a full size tortilla can't be eaten like that. Steak was lovely, though. I opted for the "sweet potato chips/fries", the chips were just like warm, wet potato wedges, really. They obviously baked them for health goals but just failed from a taste point of view. Chips aren't wedges and chips are fried (unless explicitly they say not - particularly for an extra cost). Service staff took them back and brought more of the same. Truly miserable chips. Oh, and partner had similarly mediocre views of their meal. Anyway, this is too long. Yelp reviews are pretty much just a self-fulfilling act anyway.

    The French Oven Bakery is absolutely divine!! A lovely Artisan bakery in the ever popular Grainger…read moreMarket offering a whole host of different breads, pasties and cakes. What has prompted this review is their mouth watering and delicious rhubarb and custard macaroons that I only discovered last week.....so good that they drew me back every day without fail! If you're a newbie to the French Oven it can be difficult to peruse their selection as it does get pretty busy along the counter but the staff are always more than happy to help and the queue is a reflection of the high quality and fresh food on offer. They also deliver if you want time to consider your order online or buy in bulk. I would highly recommend their macaroons as they are by far the best I've tasted outside of Paris itself! I also tend to favour the sourdough bread or focaccia - so flavoursome and light. Although not a frequent pasty fiend I have sampled their chilli con carne pasty when I was looking for convenience food and it was very tasty although perhaps could have had a bit more filling. Nonetheless I have yet to be disappointed by anything from this little treasure of a bakery.

    Yesterday I emailed the proprietor, Emma, to tell her that her map needed changing, and today I…read morewent along to buy some bread! As you would really, it being a bread shop :-) Anyway, the lady behind the counter was very helpful, and described the bread that was on the back shelves, and I selected a mixed grain. Sitting infont of her on the counter was an interesting dark brown round loaf, with some bright pink bits showing through. She said it was Prawn and something!!! I nearly choked! She said "It's been really popular today and this is the only one left!" I decided I may need to gird my loins a bit more before delving into the dark art of baking to that extreme. I asked if she had a list of the bread they do, and she handed me a Qype card! Whoo hoo for promoting Qype! Not so hot on getting me more info on produce sadly. Maybe a blackboard somewhere with "FreshToday" written on it and a list of bread and cakes available as well as the specials of the day would be very useful I feel. The bread was lovely!

    I have been on Yelp for 18 months and this is the first time i have felt it necessary to review a…read morebusiness. Bernadett and Richard have worked as pastry chefs in some pretty swanky places in London and it really shows in the quality of their product (i consider myself a bit of a foodie). One of the few things i found good about being dragged round wedding fairs for months was the guaranteed cake tastings available there; there were some incredible looking cakes that i saw but as soon as my wife and I went to Bernadett's studio, attached to her house, and picked up the first of several slices of cake i knew we would be ordering from them (the fact that they have made hundreds, if not thousands, of cakes over the years compared to a large number of those who have started in this business from being a hobby really did show). As my wife's family were all flying in from Germany we hired our venue for four days and then booked them into nearby hotels afterwards to make a fully week of it, consequently we decided to order a cake that would feed double the number of guests actually there on the wedding day (to ensure that we had tea and cake available in the following week). Bernadett made us a four tier buttercream cake in the German style; much less sweet than a British (actually French patisserie) style cake so there was much less guilt at scoffing it for days afterwards. We had chocolate orange, lemon, vanilla with strawberry and coffee and walnut as the tiers, all were amazingly moist, incredibly tasty and the cake was good for the whole week that it lasted. Having previously looked on the website and seen that they had won a national award for the North East's best wedding cake designer the previous year and were nominated this year (which they now appear to have won again), i was a little scared about the price but pleasantly surprised when it came in at the same as the other people that we had spoken with. Organising our wedding was incredibly stressful at times and the main reason, apart from the product being so good, that i am writing this review is that Dreamworld cakes were hands down the most professional and easy people we dealt with out of any of our suppliers; all communication was promptly and clearly answered and any follow ups from their end, e.g. confirmation of flavours, occurred exactly when we were told it would be (there was NO chasing at any point from our end). Bernadett was the first person on site on the wedding day, even prior to the venue staff, not leaving until full verbal and written instructions had been given, including when to bring the cake out from the chilled room (to ensure the buttercream came to the best temperature for flavour) and when to add the fruit decoration (to ensure it did not start macerating and then leaking juice on the cake);. If all our suppliers to our wedding had been like this it would have been much less stressful and a breeze to organise. NB they also did really reasonably priced and cute wedding favours but we had already organised others so did not order them. The positives: * Incredible product - it really was an amazing tasting cake (by far the best out of many we tried) * Very professional to deal with no having to chase them at any stage * Really good value when i compare the end product with the other numerous tastings we did (and we did a lot of them due to the high number of cake makers at wedding fairs) The negatives: * The website is really pretty and easy to navigate but for the fact that it has extremely low contrast, i have good eyesight and i find it hard to read the text (it should be an easy fix though and doesn't effect the taste) * It is months until my birthday and i cannot find an excuse to order another cake yet!
