Meanwhile, in a TikTok video, foodie account @evesalwayseating_ said The Garden Coffee House has the “best” cheese toasties and coffees in the North East.

Eve revealed: “It’s a little hidden gem nestled away in Hexham.”

The content creator added: “It just has the most stunning interior, everything that’s displayed on the counters, like the cakes, looked unreal.”

Eve shared that she tried the pistachio latte and it was “insane”.

@evesalwayseating_ continued: “Moving on to food, soup, salad and toastie is just a bit of a combo so we got the soup of the day which was like a herby broccoli one and we both got a toastie, just look at the cheese pull, this was sensational.”

After also trying a carrot cake, Eve said “not a crumb was left behind”.

One person commented: “We discovered this cafe through their fun socials and visited it today for the first time on a day trip from SW Scotland. We were not disappointed!

“A lovely welcome to a warm and buzzy room, dogs included. Vintage vibe, delicious soup and toasties. Reasonable prices. The bread comes from a local bakery, The Grateful Bread Bakery – excellent.

“All in all a delightful place for lunch. We will go back!”

Someone else posted: “Wrote a really positive Google review for this cafe recently but have been again since and felt the need to promote it again as had another really enjoyable lunch.

“The menu is carefully thought out with really delicious offerings; not your standard boring cafe food. I stuck with the ‘special’ Honey Whipped Ice Latte (so good it deserves its own 5 stars) and then I also had the Parma Ham, Fig and Pistachio loaded Sourdough. So tasty!

“Had a portion of chips on the side and they were the best fries I’ve had for a while. Well worth visiting this little gem of a place.”

The Garden Coffee House in Hexham is open seven days a week, 9am until 4pm Monday – Saturday and 10am until 4pm on a Sunday.
