What Barry Wood doesn't like about The Smithy Cafe:
What a fantastic hidden gem of a restaurant located beneath the South Shields metro! The service was exceptional, and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back again! View all feedback. What User likes about The Smithy Cafe:
I’m from London, and after having a terrible breakfast at another place, I must say I was extremely impressed by both the breakfast and the service here. The staff were wonderful. I would recommend this place to everyone, and the prices are incredibly affordable compared to what I’m used to paying. I’d definitely come back just for breakfast—10/10! View all feedback.
