The whole atmosphere of the cafè is very cosy and comforting and I find that you are always welcome as soon as you walk through the door!

Met up with friends for breakfast this morning at Irving’s cafe, the young lady taking ours orders was very pleasant and helpful. We requested our drinks with our food order, as promised they came with our food. Two had omelettes and one had the breakfast wrap, food was freshly cooked to order and tasted delicious. Cafe was spotless and cheerful atmosphere, we will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

Always when possible, I go there with my baby girl and my mother in Law, I can highly recommend the food ! I have tried lots of different sandwiches and also omelettes there. And I always come back for more. The staff are really friendly and polite. Now, it is my favourite place in Whickham.

Always trying different places for breakfast but I’ve got to say this place they know how to cook a breakfast. Talk about tasty bloody hell it was amazing, been a while since I’ve enjoyed a breakfast as much as I did today, honestly people of whickham u need to try to get what I’m talking about. Staff are lovely, the waitress was really friendly, the atmosphere was great, dogs are welcome, I even heard her offer a customers dog a sausage, which I thought was so thoughtful to think of the dog aswell, I’ll be back on Monday, my husband has got to try one of your breakfasts. Keep doing what you’re doing girls.also price well worth it for the quality.
