Something has happened since our last visit. There was one member of staff who was friendly. The rest seemed tired, distracted, unengaged. We were waved to a table without a greeting . We were served quickly but really expected some smiles it makes a big difference. Something has changed with the food.. the batter was a bit flat and not as well cooked as previous visits. We will return.... But this was NOT a good day for us. On the plus side the restaurant has had a bit of a make over and looked nice and clean and fresh.

Fantastic salted caramel brownies and the best sea salt caramel chocolates I have seen outside of overpriced chocolatiers in London!
I almost didn't want to review here as I don't want everyone knowing about it!
So so good!
Seriously good flavours and the best tempered chocolates I have seen with a very pleasing crack!
Try the ice cream tastes like ice cream should!(mint choc chip was excellent )

One of three Mister Woods, Tynemouth Woods is a recently refurbished, industrial/rustic style coffee shop situated opposite the priory castle with stunning sea views, a wide assortment of fairtrade products and even better service.
Reviewed By James R - Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
This Coffee shop sells good coffee,tea and toasted sandwiches and many kinds of nice cakes or ice cream.The coffee shop is in a good spot where you can sit outside and enjoy the open air and watch people go by, or sit inside in comfort looking out on to the busy street. The shop gets very busy at weekends especially if the sun is shining. This can make the place quite crowded with people queuing to be served or waiting for a table.
The table we had was in need of being cleared two members of staff came in to the main area looked around and turned around and went back behind the counter.
A female member of staff then came around and I asked if the table could be cleared to which she did straight away.
I would of given this coffee shop a five star rating however I felt the overall service could have been much better. I would say I would go back again hopefully it will be a little quite.

Reviewed By daveandlynda311 - Morpeth, United Kingdom
Called in for a late lunch and decided to go for the deal - 3 dishes and a bottle of wine for £19.95. Good choice, we ordered one of the specials of the day - beef brisket and sweet potato mash which was declared delicious, the potted crab and toast which was absolutely fabulous and a portion of deep fried hake pieces , which came with tartar sauce and fresh baguette slices all washed down with a bottle of white wine. Portions were a good size - we didn't even manage to eat all the bread between us. The staff were all lovely and attentive, we will definitely return and encourage others to try it for themselves.

Lets have a quick one in the Gib, said my disabled girlfriend
Cant do that, i said, the bar is upstairs and no wheelchair access for paralysed people
“Carry me up first and then bring the chair up” she said
what a struggle, you have to turn 2 corners and 45 degrees in the place
I Nearly broke my sternum but eventually got her sat down with a small sherry and between a couple celebrating their engagement
The chair was blocking the entrance so i re traced my steps and tried to fold the wheels in half to bring it up
Bad move, caught my sweetbreads in between the resistance lever and gangle pinion
40 minutes trapped while she sat upstairs
Just sick to death of bars with no access for people with chairs
The gib has a lot to answer for
