Coffee on the Corner Chapel House — Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

Visited this cafe a few weeks ago with my elderly aunts. Went on a Tuesday lunchtime and there were plenty of tables and chairs. The decor is fresh and bright - it’s lovely. Nice menu with plenty of choice. Ordered at the till where there were plenty of staff buzzing around, which admittedly was frustrating as the lady taking my order didn’t seem to listen and my order was repeated 3 times. (She kept stopping to say something to staff members in the back and was very slow on the till). We ordered 3 lots of sandwiches which were freshly made and huge with lots of tortillas and salad on the side. My Aunts’ were pleased with theirs. I opted for tuna Mayo which would’ve been lovely but my bread was really thick with margarine which I don’t eat and wasn’t expecting and it sadly overwhelmed the sandwich. However, the filling was plenty and the whole plate was really fresh. I just wish I’d been given the option on the marg. We all enjoyed lovely cheesecakes as the dessert counter was amazing. Price wise it’s good and portion sizes are good. It is next to elderly housing and the place seems to cater for that audience, which I think is a lovely place for them to meet up. If you’re younger, it may feel a bit lacking it...

I have just been for food here with my family. The food itself was ok but we then got a cake which tasted stale. I was polite to the waitress since I work in a cafe myself and know what it's like. A very rude waitress with the black hair then came over with such an attitude, said she had made the cake herself and we were wrong as it couldn't possibly be stale even though me and my dad had both tried it and said the same. She said there was nothing she could do and walked away without giving us even an apology for one the horrible cake and 2 her horrible attitude, let alone offer us a refund of the cake or an alternative. It's a shame because all of the other staff were friendly and helpful but this one person let the whole team down. Having been here before, I definitely will not...

Food is absolutely lovely, although they never seem to have avocado in anytime I go which is the breakfast I'd usually opt for so a bit annoying, I think they should just take it off the menu if they're consistently unable to offer it.

Staff are usually friendly but our latest visit they weren't, we had breakfast and coffees when we first arrived, I then ordered an extra scone and we ordered more drinks. A member of staff then approached us asking if we were ordering anything else because people were waiting for the tables and basically made us feel unwelcome as if they wanted us to leave. I had planned to buy another drink but she was quite rude, so we left early. A shame but probably won't come back for breakfast, maybe just a takeaway cake option instead as they...
