Baby Grey Gosforth — Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

I'm torn on Greyjoy's. Mainly because of the price.

The food (huevos rancheros with halloumi and bacon) was well put together and the coffee was great. The ingredients seemed to be of really good quality with obvious care given to the flavouring of the dish. The eggs were a bit firm for my liking which took the edge off just a bit. The scone I took away was good but no more than good.

The service was attentive enough but not overwhelmingly friendly but they did check back which is always a nice touch.

The interior is almost painfully stylish, multiple pendant lampshades, antique fire extinguisher etc. It didn't really add to the experience for me but if that's your sort of thing then nowhere on the High Street does it better.

If I had spent 10 or 12 pounds on the experience I would have no complaints. But I spent 16 pounds. That's quite a bit and at the price I'd expect no niggles.

In summary, I'd definitely come back but I don't think it would become a regular thing on the basis...

After spending nearly £30 on breakfast, an hour into our visit on a Friday (5th May) morning, the owner told me and a friend we would have to give up the table as it got busier. When I asked if we could move to another table, he responded that only if we buy lunch this giving us a strong indication we had to leave. The food is overpriced as it is (£9 for a bowl of porridge!) and having spent nearly £30 already, we opted to leave. When you add bad customer service on top of overpriced standard food, it's really not worth going. It's on the busy Gosforth High St so not exactly picturesque and therefore not overcompensating for the other negative aspects. We won't be returning and my advice would be to go to a lovely cafe like Earthlings, Aidan's Kitchen in Sandyford, various cafes in Heaton or Kith & Kin in Whitley Bay. All value their customers rather than seeing them as purely...

Found Baby Gray whilst on a sojourn up North, and definitely will be staying on my list of dining spots to visit away from home.

Food quality is on par with old haunts such as Brother Marcus in Islington, which is doubly impressive when you compare the size; Baby Gray has a lot less space to work with, and so punches well above it's weight.

The all important coffee is excellent, as coffee must be. Flat white was the right size, the milk was perfectly textured and the latte art adeptly done.

The ambiance is lovely, it's got a buzz to compliment the tasteful decor, nicely wrapped up with some great tunes playing off a record deck. This is an elegant touch; in a world of on-demand music, curated quality looks to be their USP, which from what I saw seems to be what this spot is about.

The only thing I don't like about this place is that it's not closer to home. Nothing is...
