Willi's Coffee House

Iconic Cafe in Jesmond which has stood the test of time.

I visited a small cafe recently and was disappointed to receive only half a cup of coffee and half a cup of foam. This may be an issue for those who prefer a full cup of coffee. Personally, I don't mind the half cup. However, I was also disappointed to find that there were no truly gluten-free options available, as everything was cross-contaminated with gluten. It would be great if they could keep gluten-free items separate. Despite these issues, I am willing to give the cafe another chance in the future. Next time, I will make sure to visit after having already eaten.

Visiting my mother in Newcastle and was looking to find somewhere local, so as to not lose time with my mother before travelling back down south. Got recommended Willis cafe and what an amazing cafe! Lovely food and very well cooked and presented. Great portion size. Loved the mushroom soup. Just right texture and tasted amazing I am a great lover of mushrooms, so as soon as I saw it on the menu, my choice of meal was selected. My mother had the all day breakfast and that looked amazing too. You want the best for your mother and I could not ask for more. The service was great and staff interacted with us with a humerus gesture when we commented on how beautiful the tea cups and saucers were. A great place for all wheelchair friendly (entrance is so wheelchair friendly) and a dog friendly location. This business is so on the ball there for those in wheelchairs and those with dogs. A great time with mum in a great location. Will be back again when visiting Newcastle. I may even go for the famous Mark Toney ice cream next visit as it was a childhood favourite. Well done Wilis cafe.

Lot of reviews seemingly inpatient when this place gets busy. Went on a more quiet Tuesday afternoon. Had a great bacon bap with lots on lots of crispy bacon and excellent coffee served in lovely crockery and teapots. Eyeballed the doughnuts on the way out so will have to come back. I still really rate Willi’s and will keep coming back

I was quite disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. Despite its attractive appearance, the staff seemed unenthusiastic about welcoming customers. There were three employees near the till and serving area, including what appeared to be the manager taking an order. I waited for a considerable amount of time before being asked by a friendly lady if I was ordering takeout. I confirmed that I was, but then someone from a table bypassed the queue and had their order taken instead. This initial encounter left me feeling let down, and I don't plan on returning anytime soon. While I am usually patient, this experience was particularly disappointing.
