Visited this cafe as my wife used to go to it 20 years before at uni and so a nostalgic visit was had.
I had the "ultimate" breakfast, my wife had "the USA" and my daughter had apple and cinnamon pancakes.
Everything was delicious. You can see from the pictures the portion sizes would make a Yorkshireman blush!
My only minor gripe would be it felt a tad on the expensive side for a breakfast and the door kept blowing open. Not major gripes at all as I would absolutely go back in a heartbeat.
A breakfast here *will* fill you up for the day
Infamous brunch spot. There’s always a wait.
The beans and hash browns in the business breakfast were really good. The rest was standard fare.
There’s a pretty large menu so lots of things to try.
My fiancé and I arrived just before 10 and had to queue, we didn't wait for too long thankfully as it was a really cold day 🥶
When we were seated we ordered the Business breakfast and Salmon & Eggs, a coconut mocha and a pumpkin latte with two orange juices. The food and drinks arrived promptly and were delicious!
When we left there was a very lengthy queue! 😬 Good thing we arrived when we did!
Great prompt service. Food cooked perfectly- Salmon Omelette was delicious and really really filling! Peach tea nice and refreshing. Was able to just chill and relax without being pestered by staff...waitress both were lovely and attentive. Highly recommended 👌
Lovely food and great rustic interior. This is a nice heart place offering various pub style and modern lunches and breakfasts. As I require halal food, there is a great range of vegetarian and vegan dishes available on the menu. Overall it was good food, nice vibes and I would go again for a breakfast or lunch. I ordered the bangers and mash and definitely enjoyed it. The tea was decent too
Amazing place, good atmosphere, fabulous food. Amazing all day breakfast options.
First time coming here, staff rushed off their feet, however very attentive and friendly. Food was so good, poached eggs were a bit over done and I needed extra hollandaise sauce however hot, good quality and really tasty, partner loved the business breakfast which was huge, and drinks were lovely, great atmosphere and very clean nice environment, will be back 😝
Never had a disappointing meal here. Chorizo pasta for me which was delicious as normal and my cousin had the veggie USA which she said was amazing. Brilliant service from the all staff as well but especially from Georgia who always has a smile on her face and provides hearty and friendly customer service. Will always come back.
Blown away by our experience in the famous Butterfly Cabinet Cafe.
Without fail, there always is a queue of patrons waiting to enter.
🍔 Blue Cheese Burger
🥪 Vegan Rio Grande Sandwich
🍣 Salmon Benedict Muffin
🧀 Halloumi Breakfast
☕️ Mocha Coconut
For the price, food quality and the service, this was definitely a steal. I am definitely coming back again.
Went there on a Friday morning with my partner.
We had to wait around 15 minutes in a queue outside as the place was full.
Once we were invited in, we set at our table and ordered the food and drinks. My partner got the USA breakfast, with pancakes, hash browns, sausages and maple syrup, whereas I went for the halloumi breakfast, with spinach, fried eggs, baked beans and halloumi cheese.
The food came promptly and it was nice.
Overall a nice experience and would love to have a second visit in the future.
The longstanding Butterfly Cabinet continues to impress with a good range of hearty and filling dishes for breakfast and lunch. Fair prices for what you get. Friendly service.
Fantastic food choices, expertly made. We've been several times and always in the morning. Based upon how good their breakfasts are however, their lunch and evening menu shouldnt disappoint. Bohemian decor, rough n ready but clean and always busy with a good vibe about the place. Kid-friendly although tight for space if you bring a buggy or need a high chair. Try 'The Business' cooked breakfast if you've got a big appetite! The only slight negative is the morning queue, due to its popularity.
Photos show: Salmon Benedict, Lemon Iced Tea, Porridge & fruit, American Pancakes (with syrup, bacon & sausage) and 'The Business' full English.
Veggie England breakfast and Buttermilk Pancakes. Very delicious! Staff are friendly. They don't take online reservations but the wait outside wasn't too bad. Lovely seating area inside. Menu is big with a variety of options. Haven't tried their drink menu or their shakes but they looked really good.
Such good food and atmosphere. It is also so cheap and they have amazing veggie options. Super busy as well which is always a good sign. Wait times can be long if it is busy which it often is so just be patient. Worth the wait 100% though! Picture is of the BTM pasta and some toast. My favourite dish!
Great place for brekkie and lunch. The choices on the menu are great. The portion sizes are awesome. Food is fresh and we'll put together....I have been coming here for years and never felt let down by the food or service. If your in the area please give it a go.
Our daughter took us here on our visit to Newcastle upon Tyne. She had been here a few times and loved it. I have to say so did we. Great food, great service!! When we visit our daughter next time, we will be calling in for food!! Thank you 😊
Amazing breakfast at a really good price, came around 10am on a weekday and got straight in, whereas was queuing for over half an hour outside at the weekend. Worth the wait as food cooked perfectly, lots of veggie and vegan options too! This was the Veggie USA and Business
Would highly recommend coming here if you’re super hungry for a nice breakfast with great value! There’s options for every type of person. I always try to bring people here who visit Newcastle. Very popular with the locals and there’s usually always a queue. Would recommend coming early if you don’t want to wait long!
Warm and welcoming quirky café that defines Heaton. They queue out the door as a testament to the quality of the food.
Great sized portions at reasonable prices, and there's a massive array of meals - that cater very well to vegans and vegetarians.
Go later in the day to avoid having to queue!
