1st Class Food - Northumberland

We returned to our favourite cafe on the island this week to enjoy a lovely lunch of homemade delights. All freshly made pastries and cakes that made our visit to the island so much more special. Returned before our journey home for a takeaway from the shop of fresh crab sandwiches that are made more special for knowing it has come fresh from the local fisherman. The sandwich was full of delicious crab , see the pic. Very popular and dependant on the local catch so we made sure we ordered early to avoid disappointment! Nice to see businesses supporting other local produce providers. A wonderful establishment with caring staff that are kean to ensure we enjoyed our visit. Gem of a place.

My first visit to Holy Island so I'd read up on where to eat. As this place rated highly I came here with my elderly Mum. It was busy, but we found a table outside fairly easily in the covered area. Yes, we had a wait for the coffee but I'd been advised of that when I placed the order. The service was excellent, although I think the staff were getting a bit exasperated at people coming to pay without making a note of the table number!! I'd also ordered 2 Melting Moments which were awesome!! Literally melting in the mouth and gone in a moment!! Will definitely visit again when I come to Holy Island. Thank you

Nice enough people and the food was ok but we had to wait 55 minutes for sandwiches after being warned the wait time was 30 minutes and we clearly weren't the only ones. It was sunny when we went in and raining by the time we left so we never got our walk round the island. Not especially cheap either.

The crab sandwich was everything I'd hoped for and my husband really enjoyed his soup and cheese scone. The staff worked their socks off on this busy, wet day. No wonder it's such a popular cafe! The old Post Office shop next door sells a good range of postcards, view cards and maps but you can also get takeaway food there, along with delicious-looking quiches, sausage rolls and sandwiches. Just the place to buy a picnic.

We got to Holy Island at 9am after a 90 minute drive and head to this cafe as I’d read the reviews on here before coming. We had two cappuccinos which were lovely great coffee that you can. It from the shop. We walked around this beautiful place then returned to the cafe before leaving the island for tea and cream scones. Delicious! Lots of outside seating and loads inside too. The staff here are fabulous, so lovely and chatty and calm considering how busy it was the 2nd time. I’ve decided I want to live here when I retire and get a job in this cafe!
