Tasty breakfasts! - Edit
We were so pleased to find this cafe listed when we visited Whitley Bay for a family event. We stopped in for breakfast before getting the train home.
Read moreGreat variety of dishes available from porridge, smoothies, avo on toast to the full English. I had the French toast with tempeh and it was delicious. The oat milk latte was also very good. (They have the full range of plant milks.)
Nice, friendly staff and a chilled, relaxing environment. If I lived in Whitley Bay, I'd be in here all the time!
Pros: Great range of food options, Friendly staff
Cons: Only open til 5pm

Favourite cafe - Edit
Amazing place, guaranteed healthy food packed with so many flavours and an ever changing menu. Great for kids too as you can "build your own" from anything in the salad bar (and there are many options!) Down to earth feel to the whole cafe and the owner Paula is incredibly knowledgeable and informative.
Read morePros: Great tasting food, Vegan food with vegetarian options, Leave feeling full but healthy

It's so hard to find vegan breakfasts but this place has a bunch of them! I had the avocado on toast with wonderful sprouted bean and lentil bread. Lovely.

This is one of our favourite places to visit in the North East as we often enjoy a walk on the beach and then a visit to Pulp Fiction for food & juices.
Read moreThe food is always amazing and we like the fact it is healthy also.

Amazing home-cooked vegan goodness!!! - Edit
Found this great little place thanks to this app! Got the vegan breakfast/brunch which was excellent value for money and thoroughly delicious. Loved the decor, and imagine it was great fun choosing/finding it all. Wish we could have somewhere like this closer to home, but will definitely return if we are even remotely nearby in future!

First visit- will definitely return soon - Edit
Delicious food, plenty of choice . A warm welcome by the lovely ladies who told us about the new weekend buffet breakfast they are launching in February. On a cold winters day, we had veggie Tandori curry and pizza pie with winter salad and the most delicious drinks. So much choice , a cozy, retro little haven and dogs are welcome. We were given a free fresh juice to try, which was gorgeous. I even bought some delicious Food to take home. Can’t wait to return and try the other delights.

get out of Newcastle - Edit
it's worth making the effort to get out of Newcastle and visit pulp fiction.
Read moreNM ice cozy cafe with an emphasis non healthy food, juice and well being. Paula runs workshops of dietary needs and health and this is reflected in the offering. you won't struggle to get your five a day here.
Once again a visit, this time breakfast to celebrate north east Vegab restaurant week.
Buffer breaks fast was a healthy spread all home made no easy substitutes and thought it was great. Stuffed but in a healthy way.
Nearly 5.
Pros: staff, food, cozy

Great place to unwind and feed your face - Edit
I finally got to check out this cool cafe and so glad I did. On offer they have an excellent menu choice of all day breakfasts, curries, stews, superfood salads, soups, fresh juices and desserts, all at affordable prices. About 95% of the menu is vegan and there is also a specials board available too. I decided to get the mushroom, lentil and tarragon burger with side slaw from the specials board, which was 100% vegan. It was delicious and so filling, the accompanying slaw was the best I have had in a long time too. A bargain at just £4.50. I also bought a slice of vegan caramel cake (£3) for the wife, who loved it. The inside decor is fantastic and this is the sort of place that you could just stay in all day. Excellent taste in music too. I will definitely be back.

Cons: Vegan options could be labelled on menu
