Oak Restaurant Deli Lounge in Newcastle upon Tyne

We always try to pop in for a cuppa before the match but be early as it's usually busy

We visited due to seeing some good reviews and photos of the place; however we were very disappointed. Firstly the chef when asked about some of the food was very blunt and rude with us (we were only asking what dressing was used on the bruschetta). We ordered some coffees and food, the coffee is of the Ringtons brand, which isn't a particular favourite of ours but is usually fine, but it was one of the worst mochas I've had in a long time, it tasted like weak hot chocolate with over brewed filter coffee added to it, the cappuccino wasn't much better.When the food eventually arrived it looked great, but the mushroom soup had too much pepper added to it (if it had less it would have been very nice), we had also ordered a Panini, this was quite nice and the salad was very good. I am hoping it was just a bad day to visit as I do want to try it again as the cakes looked fantastic and it is in a nice setting.

I only found this place due to it being in the furniture shop I was visiting - it ended up being a nice surprise.Good, decent-sized coffee. The bacon and avocado crumpet was lovely. The prices were reasonable, too - not what I was expecting in an expensive furniture shop!The staff were very friendly. Nothing seemed too much trouble to the Greek guy.Not sure what the 1 star review is about?! There are signs stating that you order at the counter. I'll be back when I'm next in Newcastle, anyway.

Wow what a refreshing surprise. This is no ordinary cafe. The owner clearly loves cooking and creating beautiful food. At first I didn't order as I thought it will just be a sandwich then saw my wife's and immediately ordered. The attention to detail withthe side of pomegranate and fennel salad was just unexpected and delicious. Honestly the best sandwich I've ever eaten.

Husband and I went to Barker & Stonehouse to look at furniture . Then decided to go up to the cafe, the service was brilliant and the food was so tasty . Definitely going back..

I waited for 15 minutes, no one served me or acknowledged my existence. Sad, it looked quite nice.

This little gem is amazing,, personalised service with amazing people and food xx

I thoroughly enjoy taking a coffee at this hidden gem. On this occasion I decided to try the home made pate and it was delicious, served with a selection of accompaniments which were equally tasty, some of which I would never have paired with pate. The staff are attentive and friendly. Whatever you choose to eat, whether it be home made cake, sandwich, or something more substantial it is always fresh, well presented and reasonably priced
