Description

Gosforth 1901 boasts a vibrant atmosphere and beautifully crafted decor, enticing diners with its delicious offerings. While the café's dark hot chocolate is a standout, highlighted by its use of real chocolate and complimentary soy milk, vegan diners may find the menu lacking. Options are limited to the soups of the day, which may occasionally be vegan. For those in search of diverse vegan selections, Jesmond 1901 is the better choice, featuring hearty staples like a vegan breakfast and inventive lunch options. Overall, while the ambiance is delightful, menu limitations leave some diners feeling disappointed.

Staff very welcoming, food was excellent, decor was really unusual and lovely, dogs allowed here. Gluten free options available. Very popular. It is in the student area of Jesmond. Tables are a collection of different things, like and old school desk, or sewing machine stand. A very enjoyable experience.

Visited here for the first time last week after a recommendation. Lovely place! Lovely staff! Great decor and vibe. Fantastic menu that also caters very well for vegans, we had the breakfast butties (one meat one vegan) they were superb. Also dog friendly

Visited following a recommendation while in Newcastle and I can wholeheartedly say that the food is outstanding. Pricing initially looks a little on the expensive side but once you're served your meal and dig in it's worth every penny. The full English Hash was the best breakfast I've ever had. A must visit for anyone serious about good food.

They do an extensive range of really nice breakfast and lunch dishes. This includes the standard issue eggs Benedict. Which looks lovely. There's some stuff with avocado. Yuk! It does get busy. Arrive early to not have to queue. The queue does get long. You've been warned. All on one level including the toilets, so very wheelchair friendly. They also have a disabled toilet. The service is good. But they do look sick of their lives. They do take out and have an awesome selection of cakes.

There’s a few of the Caffe 1901’s around but this is the one for brunch. Good if you want a nice quality safe and traditional brunch option. The menu choices are standard. Didn’t have any problems with the full english. I added halloumi which was great. The breakfast brioche was tasty. There can be a bit of a queue on the weekend but it’s cosy inside so the queue moves quite quickly.
