What RachaelStorey doesn't like about Thorntons:
The staff at this restaurant were friendly, though a bit slow when making drinks. The food was delicious, particularly the bacon sandwiches, which were high quality and generously sized. The decor was simple, with local pictures on the walls. The cafe is conveniently located in the shopping center in the heart of Whitley Bay. The milkshakes were large and incredibly tasty, especially the strawberry flavor which is gr... View all feedback. What Dave R likes about Thorntons:
This is one of our favorite local cafeterias that we visit often. The hot chocolate with marshmallows, cream, and flakes is a must-have treat for us. The staff is always friendly and pleasant. We also enjoy the carrot cake and scones, which have been tasty. While we typically just stop in for a drink and occasionally a piece of cake, we have always had a positive experience. It's a welcoming spot to relax and enjoy a... View all feedback.

I went for coffee last week and found out that this cafe had shut down. It must have closed recently, as I always thought it was quite popular.

The cafe in the heart of Whitley Bay offers delicious bacon sandwiches, generously sized milkshakes, and tasty hot chocolates. Despite friendly staff, the service was slow and prices were high, with only cash accepted. The decor is simple with local pictures. While some found the cafe to be dirty, others always had a positive experience. A must-try treat is the hot chocolate with marshmallows, cream, and flakes. A convenient spot to relax and enjoy a drink, for some it's a favorite local cafeteria.
