Upfront Food - South Tyneside

In a world of big chains and greasy spoons, here we have a breath of fresh air. Upfront is exactly that, a clean, well ran and superbly located cafe. The menu is simple but tasty and well priced. The service is what really impresses the most, with a dedicated chef in whites and attentive servers. They are currently working on a separate free from menu, but are still more than happy to discuss and cater for allergies. I can't eat gluten/wheat, but still enjoyed a lovely breakfast here and the chef reassured me that he'd checked every item. Another excellent idea is downstairs. A kids area called Nincompoops, here there are tables for the adults and many things to entertain toddlers and children. The cafe is accessible from the rear for anything with wheels and there's a huge car park outside. The manager Craig is always available and I believe can even cater for small events such as christenings. If you're in the area and fancy a cuppa, this is definitely the place to be and has my recommendation.

I am impressed with the exceptional dessert delivery service at this restaurant. The attention to detail and delicious food sets it apart from other award-winning options in South Shields that serve low-quality food. Keep up the great work, I believe you will achieve great success!

Found this coffee house in passing called in for a cuppa as we had just been elsewhere, the tea/coffee was excellent, the service was terrific the staff couldn't have been any friendlier. Will definitely be returning the cakes looked great

I recently went for afternoon tea as a Mother's Day gift and really enjoyed it. The staff were lovely and even boxed up the cakes we couldn't finish.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant. They have a great play area for young children. I ordered a delicious breakfast, which was also good value. My only criticism is that the restaurant was a bit cold, but it was early in the day so it might warm up later on.
