J. K.

This is the best cafe in the North East! The baked goods are second to none with a selection of delicious pies and pasties. The cakes and pastries are wonderful - particular favourites are the rhubarb cheesecake and giant custard slice. It’s busy but usually there is a table especially with the outside seating. You can pop in for some freshly baked bread, takeaway a mince pie, stay longer for a Sunday roast, or linger over coffee and cake. I don’t yet have pics of the cakes and pastries because they disappear too fast!

Very nice, good food and made to feel very welcome. 👍 …

P. C.

Great eatery, with a varied menu to suit all tastes. Dine in or takeaway. A warm welcome from Friendly staff. We ate in but there are two open areas to choose from. Adequate parking close by.

S. J.

Best bakery I've ever been too.

A. L.

Great food came back 2 years after my first visit food still brilliant and it has expanded a fair bit, loved the corn beef and potato pie so much I took some all the way back to Sussex with apple pie for dessert will be back again

Riverview Bakery is a hidden jem. Nestled at the bottom of the hill in the old mining village of Blackhall Mill the bakery sits by the river. The food is all freshly baked daily. The menu has something for everyone and the cakes well......you'll have to come and see for yourself. The staff led by owner Rachel are so friendly and welcoming. Dom in particular is a real asset to the business. See you again soon

E. D.

Went for the 1st time today, had a beautiful full English breakfast and took a piece of choc-nut cheesecake home absolutely gorgeous. Fabulous selection/display, clean, lovely team, COVID safe - we sat inside, plenty outdoor seating too. And parking round the back.

K. B.

Food was very good the cakes are amazing and the service was professional and friendly

j. s.

For several months I drove passed a couple of Riverview signs on my way to visit my mum who lives in Hamsterly. On one visit, I thought I'd pop down into Blackhall Mill to see if I could get something tasty to have with a cup of tea... I wasn't disappointed. Fresh produce included: breads, cream cakes, biscuits, scones along with a large selection of savoury items.. can also pick up milk, fruit and veg. as well. Oh, & they're also serve a limited menu of takeaway meals. Don't know why I'd left it so long to call in.. I now call in every time I visit mum. I'd def. recommend give the bakery a try..

B. K.

Had a great sandwich and coffee and the staff very helpful

L. H.

Delicious food and generous portions.

J. M.

I've been to Riverveiw about a dozen times since discovering it at the start of 2022 and it is without hyperbole the nicest cafe in the North of England, quite possible the whole UK. The cakes in particular are to die for, massive portions, eat in or takeaway, huge selection, delicious fresh bread, lovely pies and pastries. The lunches are also lovely with the dirty wedges being a great choice along with the sandwich selection. The service is excellent, everyone is very upbeat and no request is considered unreasonable to the staff. Only thing I could ever moan about is how hard it is to get a table on a Saturday due to the places popularity but that's no fault of the cafe itself.

j. b.

We absolutely love going to Riverview Bakery and are there most weekends. It’s a very friendly atmosphere, with excellent food and coffee. It’s also very dog-friendly too. Very large portions and a great choice of hot and cold meals as well as cakes and pastries.

B. T.

Lovely sandwiches and cakes...dog friendly too x

D. L.

Lovely restaurant, Lovely cakes and pies to purchase for home also .

A. C.

Amazing! Stopped for some coffee and cake. The salted caramel slice was delicious and very well made. Even though I was full after that I left with a mince pie, 2 sausage rolls and a slice of ham quiche. Looked all too good to leave behind. Will definitely be back, would highly recommend and very well priced.

S. D.

Great place,great food and delicious cream cakes.

A. C.

Fantastic freshly cooked food. Huge portions. Dogs allowed, so great for dog walkers also cyclists and regular walkers. Can't praise this place enough. Oh and you can also get celebration cakes made here too.

R. B.

Delightful café. All the cakes on display look amazing. We had 3 drinks and 3 cakes for approx £7.00. very reasonably priced. All the food on the menu sounds lovely too. They do a takeaway Sunday roast in a box for £5.00 which looks very popular. I'll definitely be back.

M. S.

Quality of food and variety of menue was fantastic could not fault it at all. Did find it a bit odd that the table we had reserved also had a couple and their young child sitting at which is why I could not give Riverview 5 stars. Will definitely be returning though.

I. D.

Excellent food especially the pies. Well worth a visit.

A. J.

Fabulous as usual. Great service, friendly helpful staff

S.

The place to go for the perfect Sunday treat. Great staff, delicious food, unreservedly recommended.

A. B.

Popular place. Friendly staff . Many choices and also a take away.

G. P.

Great little bakery with an awesome cafe. Great food stuff. Would recommend the cakes and baps!

c. y.

What a lovely little bakery. We've had the cheese scones and a vegan roll, both are beautiful. The kids have had the rainbow cake and the Victoria sponge and they were blown away.

H. D.

Popped in today. All the cakes & savouries are made on site. The cakes all looked totally scrumptious. I had a caramel shortbread which was thick and, honestly, the best I've ever had 👍🏆👌 …

K. T.

Great little venue, lovely food, and the cakes are to die for...give it a try

H. W.

Good coffee and excellent choice of cakes and pastries. Only downside was that portions are really too large for me, answer is that we share. Staff friendly and service good with choice of indoor or outdoor srating

P. T.

A lovely location fabulous selection of pastries cakes amd bread, the breakfast menu looks delicious whether or not you are vegetarian and it is certainly not overpriced. Staff helpful and friendly. Customers we met there at the next table were very friendly and knowledgeable about other similar enjoyable locations. Would thoroughly recommend a visit.

p. p.

An absolute gold mine,so busy, beautiful food and coffee,great staff especially Amilia who took special care of us,an excellent waitress,thank you

P. G.

A quirky establishment, with odd tables and chairs. The decor is shabby chic with odd pieces of wood attached to walls. But it all works. The food is home made style and tastes great and there's plenty of it. They have a in-house bakery with a variety of fresh bread, pastries and cakes. The food on display in the glass cabinets looks mouthwatering. The staff are friendly and efficient and even when the cafe was nearly full the staff coped admirably. The food is of a high standard and at a fair price.

J. E.

Amazing food and really reasonably priced. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Took a cake home as they looked to good to leave without trying but we were too full to eat one there. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

B. T.

Food is delicious and affordable. Staff are very friendly and the cakes are a must.

A. H.

Just what you would want from a home bakery type establishment. Delicious food, freshly made on site. Staff are really friendly, has that "proper town bakery" type feel to it. My only reservation is that you don't do what I do and release your inner child and buy too much, oh heck ignore that, go nuts, it's all devine!

D.

Got a gorgeous cornish pasty and a chocolate brownie

K.

Nice visit. Emily was a fantastic waitress, very welcoming and funny. Will definitely be back!

T. R.

Went along the other day with my mum, had the Riverview Stack burger, absolutely delicious. Service was brilliant, the only downside was the wasp pestering us in the outdoor seating area, through no fault of the establishment

I. W.

Definitely somewhere to make the trip to if you love American size portions. The cakes are delicious but huge, perfect for sharing with a friend. Last trip I went for one of the brunch options instead, pancakes and bacon. I was a bit let down though, the pancakes were a bit underdone and the bacon was a bit overdone. Generous amounts of syrup though.

P. C.

Great looking cakes, best cheese & onion pasties I've tasted, seems very popular

A. R.

Stunning array of breads and patisserie on offer. Sadly no hot food due to a staffing issue but the coffee and Mississippi mud pie were beautiful.

C. B.

Great breakfasts and cake selection. Looking forward to returning.

F. T.

First visit it is in a lovely setting over looking the river. Plenty of outdoor seating. Staff very helpful. The cakes are amazing. I will definitely be back.

K. H.

The food here is amazing, I would and have recommended this place to friends and family.. It is family run and just a very friendly atmosphere.. There's not a great deal of seating so you need to get in early to get a seat.. Everything is cooked fresh and the cakes are gorgeous...

A. R.

Fab place for food and drinks. Wide choice of items on the menu both hot and cold. Katsu chicken is to die for The cakes are amazing too and I always buy some to take home. Love it there Staff are lovely.

s. w.

Cakes to die for everything is homemade and huge lovely 😍 …

d. c.

What a lovely place with very reasonable prices. Choice of foods is spot on, no complaints at all. Didn't have a cake on this occasion but will have one next time. My mince pie, mash and mushy peas was lovely.

V. R.

I'm a bus driver for Go North East and heard about the place. I had a fair amount of time before picking up and heading to Newcastle again. So went into this gem and had the best coffee I've ever had. They do lunch baps of chicken pork beef or thick gammon. You get stuffing and gravy if you want and was delicious. I was full for most part of the day....worth every penny. I came back that weekend with my partner he had the chicken burger and I had the quiche and salad with new potatoes. All this with a latte and 2 drinks for 12 quid! I did not have any sweets because I honestly could not fit it in. We will be back and I will be sure to call in along my bus route for a cuppa when I've got the time. Best cafe I've been too!

N. P.

My next door neighbour had been raving on about this café since it opened. I have finally go to go with her and it did not disappoint! We had a lovely lunch. I was just sorry I was not hungry enough to try one of the delicious looking cake. I have promised my son a visit when he comes home from uni though: he is always hungry for cake!

N. B.

I have been to Riverview Bakery on several occasions. Never been disappointed. Always been delighted. I'm impressed not only by the range of food prepared on site but also the quality. It is the sign of a real winner when both diversity of produce and quality match. Prices are very reasonable, given the quality. Long may you keep going, you have lifted the village

B. S.

Visited today for the first time. Quirky look, good menu choices, amazing looking pies and cakes. Nice foodl, nice staff and good service. We had the BLT with roasties; the bacon was really tasty and their own baked bread was great...bought some to bring home. There doesn't appear to be any customer toilets, apart from that I liked the place.

H. T.

What can I say, absolutely delicious. 😁 …

N. H.

Lovely staff amazing food well worth the trip to treat yourself just wish they had a few gluten options so I could treat my friend who is in need of it. This is my only criticism although would never stop me visiting.

B. Y.

Lovely eggs benedict 😋 my daughter and friend had avocado smash delicious 😋 well be back lovely place staff friendly and welcoming …

M. H.

Superb food: maple and bacon french toast was excellent and the take away cakes were top notch.

K. S.

Lovely fresh food, great friendly staff free parking cakes to for for.

N. S.

Excellent cakes and pastries, all bread and baked items prepared in the open kitchen so it is possible to see your order being cooked. Breakfasts are offered, and lunch on Sundays. Staff very friendly and helpful. Outside tables for the more clement weather. Good value, so with all of these plus points, it is deservedly popular.

J. C.

What a great find, one of the nicest flat whites I've drank in a long time (comparing it to those other high st coffee shops). Fab range of pies,pastries and scones. Not to mention the selection of cakes!!all look delicious so many to choose from. Deffo recommend and will be returning soon.

C. P.

Great food great prices, only a few tables inside so you might have to wait. Recommend the ploughman's platter and take away bread and scones. I need to go try the Sunday dinner.

E. R.

This was my first visit and I was very impressed. The lay out, the staff and the food were top class.

J. N.

Pork pies are amazing! This place is brilliant! Looking forward to coming here for lunch but part of me doesn't want to tell anyone about it otherwise I'll never be able to get in! Bought a Christmas cake too and that's the best tasting I've had for as long as I can recall. Great result for Blackhall Mill.....

A. T.

What an amazing place. The portion sizes and quality of the food was superb and at such a great cost. The service was very good a large group of us called in when you were already busy and orders were taken and we did not wait long for the food, we Sat very happily across on the grass bank opposite the shop. Thank you

S. M.

Just had Christmas Dinner here. Three courses for ten pounds. Really very tasty, homemade food with an enormous slice of apple pie and custard to finish. Friendly and helpful staff. Just a nice place to eat.

s. 2.

Food is made cooked but messy

J. T.

Very popular place , nice pleasant atmosphere, food very good and generous. Eat in or outside. Definitely reccomend

D. b.

Top notch, next time we will visit in the sun. Although the rain didn't spoil our enjoyment. Staff were very accommodating with us moving seats to be under a umbrella.

M. W.

This place raises the bar very high for anyone trying to serve Quiche of the day or bacon and scrambled eggs on toast. It is always busy and for good reason The food is superb, portions excellent and the prices are fair The service can be a bit iffy but I put this down to a slightly stressed workforce.

P. W.

Came from Saltburn by the sea especially to celebrate Christmas with friends and Absolutely loved our Christmas Dinner and Excellent value for money . Can't wait till next visit 🤗 …

M. J.

1st visit, liked it, will be back 👍👍 …

R. T.

Fantastic eaterie in a fantastic little location whether your sitting out front by the river or in the little courtyard at the back, staff very friendly and helpful and my mouth was watering just lookin at the menu, as it was bank holiday Sunday we went for the Sunday lunch and it was lush we opted for beef and it came with plenty of veg and gravy and a big Yorkshire pudding very,very nice, a place we hope to frequent more often.

L. B.

Cakes looked amazing but member of staff didn't use tongs or wear gloves to pick it up. It's dog friendly which for me is great as I have a dog bit was shocked to see a dog sitting up on a chair at the table. Dogs should be on the floor !!!

j. g.

OMG Cakes are huge and delicious, has a seating area inside, huge choice of savouries, breads also

N. M.

Great food, very affordable. Decent coffee, mine was, my wife's cappuccino was a laté with choc sprinkles. Cosy with great home bakery attached. Beetroot loaf was nice as was apple pie wedge. Big breakfasts for £4.50. Well worth a visit.

J. H.

Absolutely brilliant cafe. Visited here today and got a sausage roll and a pasty. Everything is lovely. Great service and Covid-19 friendly. Highly recommended.

D. M. T.

A little gem of a bakery which has a cafe with outdoor and indoor seating. Dogs welcome in the outdoor area. After tea and cheesecake ( pear and rhubarb - divine) went back the next day for a takeaway. My husband rates his quiche as one of the best he has ever tasted.

J. B.

Amazing selection of homemade cakes, breads and patisserie items in this lovely, slightly out-of-the-way café with on-site bakery. The service can be slightly hit and miss and it's a shame that they heat their delicious sausage rolls in a microwave, making the flakey pastry soggy, but it's still well worth a visit. Can recommend the iced coffee and an outside table on a sunny day. Be warned that the cake portions are huge!

M. C.

Called in on the recommendation of a friend and wasn't disappointed. Nice big portions and plenty of choice. Inside and outside seating. Will definitely visit again when I'm in the area.

P. D.

Great atmosphere, good prices and top quality food and bakery items. Pleasant helpful staff. Free parking round the back. Seems to be always very busy.

g.

Got the sausage rolls, chicken curry pie and a bit of chocolate cake, had them over the last couple of days, all really good and they had a large selection to choose from, for me it is a distance problem otherwise I'd be there everyday 👍 …

d. m.

This is a busy place with a good friendly atmosphere. There's lots of seating in and outside. The food is perfect, I had a vegi breakfast which was perfectly cooked and stayed hot. I'm defo going to return and eat my way through their extensive freshly prepared menu.

B. M.

Excellent bakery in Blackhall Mill. Really nice breads available, good Scotch Pies (amongst their savouries) and wonderful cakes. Well worth a visit.

K. O.

I LOVE this place. Absolutely beautiful cakes, food, and Sunday dinners. Really nice to eat in when we can aswell. Beautiful decor.

H. G.

Very good lovely food and very busy

m.

Lovely little cafe with lovely view but can’t realy say I enjoyed my smashed avocado and poached eggs

M. B.

Close to the river, lovely café, staff made you welcome. Food fabulous all made on the premises good value for money. Will definitely call again.

M. S.

Quite busy, but very quick service. Tables inside and outside, front in the sun, and also at the back. Delicious brunch, lunch and cakes.

E. L.

We went for afternoon tea and its the best one we've had!! food was gorgeous. Already wanting to book back up.

C. E. M.

Great place ,Great staff and lovely cakes,pies etc .

T. O.

Bakery? Riverview Bakery is so much more. The people are lovely. The wares are an absolute delight. Soooo much choice, so little time. Savoury or sweet you will be astounded by the choice and quality. Have a wander along the river if you feel guilty!!! There is a menu if you like to sit in, or takeaway. You can even eat outside at the pavement tables. The Bakery is also dog friendly. I would challenge anyone to find something they would not like. Open until late too. Nothing negative to say. Cannot recommend highly enough. Covid precautions are seriously in place.

P. D.

Home cooking staff very helpful

D. B.

Great selection of food and cakes staff were very helpful and friendly, would definitely go back, thankyou.

J. S.

First time visiting today 22/8/18 my partner tried the ham quiche with new potatoes and salad, we also tried a slice of fresh fruit tart and a Rhubarb and apple pie slice, it was absolutely lush, a good portion and very very reasonable, £12 for all the above!! and a bottle of diet coke, will definitely be going back 👍👍👍. …

s. c.

Very clean, food really nice and staff was very welcoming

L. B.

Beautiful food and pet friendly, food is second to none and lovely portions. Everything cooked fresh and the taste shows their pride they take in their food. Right next to the river amazing on a beautiful sunny day. Give this 10 ⭐️ if I could

G. F.

Absolutely superb! Everything that these guys make and serve is tremendous. We stumbled across this bakery about 2 years ago and have been regulars ever since! If you haven't been yet, do it!!!

M. G.

It's much better now they have renovated it. Cheese pasty is delicious. Would love to review it properly but they had stopped making food for the day. Defo give it go

P. G.

Excellent food either take away or to sit in.

J. C.

Had a superb bacon bap and pot of tea sitting outside in the sunshine after walking the dog. Owner and staff very pleasant and quality of the food excellent. I don't think it could be any better.

D. G.

Absolutely fantasic, 5 star all the way. Since i discovered this bakery ive piled the weight on lol. All cakes, pies and anything else is baked right there on site. They have the BIGGEST peach melbas ive seeen in my life, they are huge and only £1.50 each. They make the very best plate pies, the pastry is beautiful and the the fillings are not missing, theres so much, proper pies. Also single pies, also with a good amount of filling. And dont get me started on the cakes. The choice is amazing, and they are always trying out new ones. They have a sit down cafe also, serving tea , coffee and food. Theres tables outside if its a nice day. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Also they didnt do my favorite steak and kidney pies, i asked why, and the next day there they were, baked fresh and tasty as hell. Check it out guys, well worth a visit. Also for anyone walking their dogs, they are always welcome, very dog friendly, with dishes of water at all times.

P. B.

Amazing little place! We were having a little drive when we came across this delicious cafe. First time and definitely not our last, delicious tea and cakes. They do have a full menu, which includes breakfast but we only stopped for tea (and a sneaky cake lol). They do a great variety of mouthwatering pies, pasties and homemade bread which look outstanding. They do cater for vegetarians and vegans and some other allergy intolerances which is awesome. You can actually see them making some of the things they sell in the shop, which is really nice and quite unique for a bakery. Staff are super friendly and really helpful, which makes all the difference and adds that personal touch we all love. There is parking and outdoor seating available, definitely worth while going to visit. We will most certainly be back, loved it.

S. A.

We went on saterday morning for breakfast and it was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. The pastries and cakes are amazing.

M. R.

Lovely bakers, star of the local community

A. V.

Friendly and welcoming. Wonderful selection of cakes

h. t.

The was amazing as always, for what we got for the cream teas it was cheap really . Would highly recommend .

B. P.

Just found this great coffee place by a recommendation from a fellow cyclist after our usual stop at Hounsgill was closed. We came back down the Derwent Walk tract and off through Ebchester, Hamsterley Mill and down to Blackball Mill where it is by the Riverside. It has a great variation of food to choose from: scones, sandwiches both hot and cold, soup, pies and a wide variety of cakes. I had the pea and ham soul with brown artisan bread which was a delight as it was hot with large chunks of ham. The service was very friendly and it was very busy even for a Monday when the kids were back to school. I would highly recommend a visit for a great lunch.

R. H.

We had breakfast outside on the tables situated on the grassy bank, food was delicious as usual, love to eat here, staff are always welcoming and nothing is a bother to them.

G.

This place is a cut above everything else. The food is superb, choices are almost endless - customer service is also amazing, really pleasant bunch of people !

K. S.

Absolutely 100% amazing qualiry food and quick service..well worth a visit. Will definately return soon.

J. P.

Just had my first visit will not be my last. Breakfast was beautifully cooked no grease on plate at all very tasty also Eggs Benedict was cooked to perfection.

P.

The food was INCREDIBLE! Absolutely delicious and great size portions! The Winter Club Sandwich was AMAZING!!!!!

D. M.

First visit and had mince X dumplings dinner...was very good! No room for the,but cakes and desserts looked lovely! Next time!😄 …

A.

I've only ever used the takeaway section of the Riverview Bakery, so can't comment on the dining-in services. I love that this place highlights what food is dairy free and what is vegan. This should be standard everywhere because places that make their own food should definitely know what's going into each thing. The cakes I've had have been delicious and I'm especially fond of the Bakewell tarts which are very hearty and flavoursome. My partner loves the range of cakes available and tries something different on every visit. I've had some of the savoury bakes too which haven't been as much to my liking but they're still decent. There are some comments that things here are a bit pricey but as I only really eat here as a treat I don't think it's too bad. The portions of cake are fairly generous and though they're more expensive than somewhere like Gregg's, they're far bigger and not mass produced, so I guess it's up to your own decision as to what you'd rather have.

d. f.

Second visit. Lovely home cooked wholesome food. Moving into the area in a few weeks and thus will definitely be one of our regular stops.

T. B.

Breakfast was good and cakes are amazing

J. P.

Amazing food and service. Visited again for breakfast the next day it was so good!!

P. B.

T. H.

S. O.

Fantastic little coffee stop after a long walk. Full menu available and one of the nicest scones I have ever tasted. Highly recommended.

M.

like a kid in a sweet shop.......absolutely amazing pies, pastries, cakes and bread all baked fresh on premises. try the mince and mushy pea pies , i eas vety hesitant about trying one but this is one og the best if not THE BEST mince pie i have tasted. large family mince pies are very tasty indeed. also great for a drop in point for a coffee and a cake. i would highly recomme d the Riverview Bakery

d. l.

Just moved to the area and this little gem was a lovely treat, lovely shop, amazing produce, from the bread, cakes, sandwiches, best cappuccino, I've had in ages ...I'm going to a regular

J. B.

Fantastic cakes and friendly staff. There's a real buzz about the place. Will definitely be heading back to sample some of the other offerings as I'm not sure I could have coped with one of each (I'd have given it a darn good go, though!) The only thing I didn't see (but didn't really look for either) was somewhere to stand bikes - this would make it the _perfect_ mid-ride café stop...

J. A.

Food and staff excellent, the cakes so large and yummy, would definitely recommend

B. L.

Lovely food from eating in to the bakery take away Best cheese scones I have ever had and the cakes are to die for mmmmmm

Amazing cakes and a nice little tea room. Prices have shot up over the time we have been visiting though, so be prepared to pay more if you haven't been for a while.

I. J. C.

My first visit, even though I live local. Cakes and pastries all looked divine. Had the bakewell tart - very tasty...and everything, baked on the premises. Staff very friendly. Good parking too, especially when driving a campervan!

S. Q.

Great Coffee and great service, nice place for anyone out walking.

No exaggeration to say that I had the nicest roll ever from here while on my Amazon rounds, good portions and very clean environment.

G. H.

Popular, might not get a table straight away at busy times, but wonderful cakes, bakery products, hot and cold food. My latte coffee was superb

K. F.

I only recently found this gem. It's been a life saver for getting flour during the current shortages. We can't wait to try the cafevas it is normally after lockdown

K. T.

Disappointing to drive over 30 mins to visit a once favoured eatery only to find that the kitchen closed at 4pm despite the opening hours being until 5pm. The vegetable quiche was pretty awful but the cakes just about saved the day.

A. S.

Great food, would love to say "I'll have one of everything please"

C. P.

The Riverside Bakery is always on my 'to do ' list when I am in Gateshead visiting my daughter. It's a bakery but it's also a café where you can get really delicious food. My daughter and I always have a pork pie and a slice of cake. The pork pies are proper pork pies and are amazing. (Not like the rubbish you buy from the supermarket) The cakes are luscious and very big portions. We had Victoria sponge but there are lots of different ones to choose from. The staff are very polite and helpful and always make you feel welcome. The café also has an outdoor seating area at the back of the shop. The seating is modern and looks really comfy. Everywhere is very clean including the toilet facilities, which are very well looked after and modern. Over the road on the front of the café there is a grass verge where you can sit down, relax and listen to the birds and the river running by, which lies just over the verge. AHH bliss. Take your own fold up chairs though as there are no benches. I highly recommend this hidden gem.

j. a.

Y. E.

I've had to edit this review as the food and service are really going downhill as the place gets busier and more popular. A load of kids have been hired and I suggest a bit of training wouldn't go a miss while the bakery is closed. My flat white was more or less a cup of milk which arrived after our food. The poor kid on the coffee machine was being yelled at that people outside were leaving because their coffees were taking too long. I ordered the smashed avocado and poached eggs on toast with halloumi like I usually do. You used to get two slices of toast and a good amount of avocado but now you get one piece of toast with a squeeze of shop bought runny guacamole. It's way too garlicky for breakfast! The halloumi was overcooked. The poached eggs are always good though. I mentioned to a young staff member that if they had run out of fresh avocados they could have told me and I could have picked something else. She snapped at me that guacamole is avocado and walked off. I would come back here again in a couple of months and see if the standard is back up because it is a lovely place. Really love this place. So much so that I almost didn't want to review it and it get too busy that I can't get a table again! The food is amazing and the counter is full of fresh artisan bread and cakes

T. C.

Excellent products made on the premises in full view of the customers and served by friendly staff. First visit and will be back.

N. S.

Lovely place, great selection of tasty treats and friendly service.

Absolutely beautiful cream teas and the cakes are to die for. Recommend everyone must try.

J. T.

First class service with amazing cakes /savouries! 😋👍 I am sure is popular with the aspect of being dog friendly 🐶 🐾 …

R. N.

Had heard lots of nice things about this bakery so visited today with my daughter and Grand daughter, the cakes are not cheap but after having had lunch there which was OK but not fantastic we decided to take some cakes home and they looked fabulous, but sadly on eating them they were tasteless and very disappointing, the cream was bland and the pastry soggy, the lemon tart was thick and defo did not taste of Lemon Sorry but 5 people with the same opinion can not be wrong, or maybe we just picked a very bad day to visit

S. M.

Wow lovely bakery/coffee stop homemade and portions are very generous recommend mince pie

B. M.

Feels a very friendly atmosphere as soon as I walked in the door size of portion very good price also very good

J. D.

Great choice of food and fantastic cakes, very friendly atmosphere!

N. A.

Very nice sausage rolls and freshly made cakes. Highly recommended.

F. L.

Great food and fab service

T. H.

Service was excellent as well as the lovely strawberry 🍓 tart …

e. p.

The cakes and pastries here are truly incredible. The range of food on the menu is also incredible. From Breakfasts to Sunday roasts. Pies come with gravy black as tar.. but doesn't have much flavour. Sadly though there are issues. I see your 5 star hygiene rating but.... Dogs, no matter how small,sitting at tables? Tables not cleaned between customers? Lack of staff? Food is not only served here but made/baked here. Seemingly endless numbers of teenagers coming into the food prep/bakery area... even opening a can and having a drink. Perhaps Gateshead council should have another visit? Too many items on the menu? Not enough staff? Getting complacent? Victims of their own succes?

t. g.

Lovely all home made food worth a look in definitely recommend.

J. W.

Very popular with locals and visitors all hand made cakes and bread's, lovely café and lovely people.

J. M.

First time visit! Great will go again

Delicious food 😋 Sundays dinner are soooo good. …

C. L.

The food was exquisite, all fresh, quick service, food arrived piping hot and the cakes and desserts were all homemade and were to die fo, the chef also brought a dish to the dog....he favourite, a nice juicy sausage! A lovely atmosphere, with lovely freindly staff, the locals were very welcoming too. We left with an array of boxes of scones & delicious home made cakes & breads We will certainly be calling in again before we head off home from our holiday.

"Some of the cake is a bit weird." - this guy I know. Overall good tho.

M. L.

It is an extremely popular venue, situated by the Riverside walk.

N. H.

Excellent pies, pasties, bread, scones, pastries, etc. Prices reasonable when comparing with similar bakeries in the sea.

L. G.

Nice homemade cakes with a large choice, the shop looks really nice and cosy. They have outside seating in the back of the shop and by the river. I had latte several times here i almost enjoyed it every time. There is a carpark just behind the shop. This place is perfect for a relaxing breakfast or for a quick bite!

I. M. G.

Love it. A great place to come anytime of day. Always evolving and improving everytime we visit. X

K. M.

The food is freshly baked on the premises and it is amazing. The staff are very friendly and attentive.

G. H.

Just been to Riverview Bakery for lunch and stocked up with bread , cream cakes and pies when leaving , very friendly helpful staff and really great food and a bonus for us dog friendly - definitely worth a visit 😋 …

R. D.

Cakes and pies, all fresh & tasty to take away or sit in. Had a waggu burger OMG will give those posh burger joints a run for their money 😋 👌 …

l. h.

Strawberry tart to much cream and not enough strawberries it would have been nice if you mixed some strawberries in with the cream. Far to much cream won’t be buying those again

j. c.

lovely desserts produced by chefs however savoury is not a first choice. would recommend going somewhere different if want a lunch but come her for dessert. also the staff are lovely but could use quicker service yet it is acceptable due to shortage

N. G.

This is a delightful little cafe in a beautiful location. Busy with a nice atmosphere the food is home made and served by friendly polite staff. It's almost impossible to choose from the large selection of delicious cakes. The menu offers a good range breakfast, brunch and main dishes and everything is very reasonably priced. It's dog friendly and I'll definitely be making regular visits.

L. C.

Lovely inside and out and dog friendly which is also a bonus. We bought two take out Sunday dinners to bring home... Absolutely delicious. We'll definitely be back!

C. M.

Went for lunch at 12. I got there it only had one small table left, so I took it the food was not expensive everything I saw was lovely

l. s.

Lovely breakfast and good value take away items in a very pleasant atmosphere would recommend well worth a visit

M. A.

Absolutely amazing food and a good gluten free options.

H. L.

Lovely place, staff were very nice and friendly. Food was amazing if a little pricey, but I was told by my auntie that everything is now.

D. O.

Excellent menu, fantastic patisserie and breads at reasonable prices!

T. W.

First time visiting today, lovely place with indoor and outdoor seating. I had the ploughman's platter and it was huge! Had to get a doggy bag to take some of the bread, cheese and half sausage roll home! The half pork pie was warm and tasted delicious. Coffee was nice and hot too. Very good food and very reasonable prices. Friendly service from all staff. We will be back!

J. S.

Lovely gem. Nice place to visit. Good menu all homemade. We visit regularly but on our last visit we sat at 2nd table on right as you enter cafe from the front. At far side of table though not enough room to be able to sit very restricted access due to a display stand . Also we look forward to you're custard slices. Which we usually buy for takeaway, 4 people.. We found last week that custard slices weren't custard. They were displayed as custard slices but weren't. The custard filling usually looks like custard not cream filling was very creamy not really liked by us three

P. D.

Fab cafe.. breakfast was lovely.. perfect portions! (Where is that sausage from!?!) Staff were friendly and kind. We bought 5 cakes to bring home... they were amazing! We will be back!!! Yummy all round.

J. S.

Considering it's off the beaten track, it is a very popular place. Once you taste the food, you'll understand why. Great taste, great selection and great value. Staff are friendly and efficient and the service is quick, considering how many people are visiting. There's parking at the back and a little back terrace, should you not get a seat inside. I would also recommend getting a cake or two ( perhaps a Pork Pie if you're that way inclined ) to take away, you won't regret it!

C. G.

Stunning food, good value and lovely environment, highly recommend

S. Y.

A hidden gem. One of my favourite places, food always incredible and the staff are extremely friendly and always cheerful. A massive plus is that its very dog friendly. It's been great to see this place go from strength to strength over the last few years.

E.

Such a lovely place to catch up with friends. Great food and great coffee too and a wide range of foods available for eat in or take away. Plenty of pies and pastries to take away and if you fancy a cake, well, it'll be difficult to decide because there are so many to choose from! Would definitely recommend you visit and even take a walk in the nearby Milkburn Woods and make a morning/afternoon of it! :)

L. J.

First visit and I loved it. I've wanted to visit for ages and I wasn't disappointed. Had the Eggs Benedict very good. Bought a strawberry tart for home, cake heaven.

V. C. L.

Great food, great service! I personally visit here on a regular basis and recommend the bakery to our guests. The hot food is delicious, the cakes.... just amazing, and the staff are very polite and attentive. Highly recommend.

p. a.

Superb delicious home cooked food. An absulute must to visit.

L. S.

Updated 25.06.22 Still really good - stopped for lunch today, great outdoor seating area, good food (potato wedges weren't for me, but I'm sure others might enjoy them), and bought some fab cakes to take away. Bread was wonderful, pastry on deep filled pies was amazing but a little disappointed with pie filling. Cakes were outstanding!

L. M.

We went jubilee fri it was fantastic had offer on their afternoon tea boxes which we bought then went into cafe best cornbeef pie chips peas and gravy ive ever tasted and i make a mean cornbeef pie so high marks staff were amazing too x

A. C.

Wow! Amazing food and lovely atmosphere. My wife had won a voucher at a local raffle for a £20 spend at the Riverside Bakery and what a treat it was! I have a very big sweet tooth so my eyes were literally popping out of their sockets. From chocolate cakes to melbas and millionaire's shortcske, they have it all. A lovely, friendly atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating aldo available should you wish to sample their range of teas, coffees and other drinks.

B. D.

One of the best coffee shops/bakery around,very busy every time we go.

H. B.

Lovely food, great service, excellent value. Beautiful patisserie and bread. Best local cafe without a doubt 😊 …

L. H.

Plenty to choose from and good value for money. The sandwiches are always tasty and a very generous portion size.

S. F.

My fave local bakery. Food lovely and atmosphere lovely. We went for a Christmas meal which was cooked to perfection. Vegetarian option was good too. Lots of options. Always friendly. Nice place to catch up with friends

K. S.

Seems very popular, was not aware there was a sit in cafe serving all sorts. Went there specially for their cream cakes, which are so popular i couldnt get the one i really wanted but settle on a few others which were nice, some a little too sweet for my pallette.

J. T.

Love it here food fabulous breakfasts amazing

C. W.

Have been visiting this bakery since we moved to Lintzford a few weeks ago and really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We decided to go for coffee and to get warm when we had the power cut from the storm and the staff blow us away with their kindness and understanding. They gave us coffee on the house and let us charge are phone as we had no power and even offered us free hot soup to take home. These are the kindest friendliest people we have met for some time, and the hub of our community. PLEASE support them as you can, as they supported their community when they where in need. What a fantastic team!!.

m. w.

Good take away coffee, very popular place for Sunday lunch

J. T.

What a little gem!! Took our friends this afternoon and they loved it!! Taking my Mam tomorrow afternoon for coffee and cake. Everything about this bakery/cafe is wonderful!! Great staff too!!

M. C.

One of my favourite places, fab food and lovely staff

k. t.

Just visited the Riverview Bakery for the 1st time. The deco is really cosy and kind of old fashioned but trendy all at the same time. It has so much choice and specialises in old school cakes, quiche, pies and whippy ice-cream. I had beef tiryaki for my main course and bought a lovely slice of cheesecake and quiche to take home. The portions are huge and the prices are extremely reasonable. It also welcomes dogs and has an outdoor area. Can not wait to go back. Thanks for the warm welcome 🤓

G. R.

Waw what can I say both inside and outside spaces for a fantastic meal and you can take away aswell

T. K.

What a great place to eat and relax with the family. Inside and outside seating and on the riverbank outside. Friendly welcoming staff and quick efficient service. Our breakfast was terrific especially the avocado smash with salmon on artisan home baked bread. The menu is amazing. Check it out!

J. C.

Popped in here for a quick cuppa and breakfast sandwich. Decided for the bacon and mushroom roll, it was huge at least 5 rashers of bacon in and loads of lovely mushrooms. Next time I will return for the full English breakfast as it looked amazing 👏 …

M. W.

The cakes are fantastic. Will be back to try the meals sometime soon.

c. M.

Fantastic place, doggy friendly. Generous portions, good value dishes. I had breakfast with coffee. Perfectly cooked bacon, crispy as I prefer & well cooked fried egg. Great wholemeal toast. Staff super friendly & helpful. Cakes are amazing, huge. Spelt bread delicious. Highly recommended

A. M.

Brilliant, that's all I can say. You don't often come across little gems like this. We stopped here for something to eat and a coffee on our walk and we were spoilt for choice. We grabbed a coffee and a slice of meat and potato pie and it was spot on, and I know I'm not supposed to because I'm trying to lose a few pounds but I indulged in a peach melba and it was heaven.

C. S.

Fabulous food,friendly and helpful staff and lovely location. Highly recommended you pay a visit if only to buy the fresh bread,pies,scones and gorgeous cakes to take away. Too much choice. Breakfast choices are amazing too.

I. H.

We travel 30 mins to come to the bakery. Never disappoints. Staff lovely and such a range of sweet and savoury treats. Hot food is fantastic too. Had a big bacon bap and it was filled with thick rashes of quality bacon. Will always be a regular customer though not too regular as my waistline and purse going to be worse off ha!

Found this lovely place a few weeks back. Can’t believe I had not been there before. Well done to the staff and owner for the way you run the business in these challenging times. On bank holiday Friday it was very busy but everyone gave each other space and the grass bank on the opposite side of the road gave plenty everyone plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the lovely food. As a side point well done to all the other visitors, there was no rubbish left behind, which was a joy to see.

An absolute gem of a place. The afternoon teas are amazing. Have ordered take away teas 3 times now orders between 2 and 9 people. Each time has been slightly different but always gorgeous and excellent value fir money. Cakes are scrumptious and this time noticed there marvellous selection of bread. Best bakery in the area by far well worth a trip.

Amazing selection of breakfast, lunch, and dinner entrees and sandwiches. The best part of course is the large selection of dessert and ice cream. They are as beautiful as they are delicious!

That's a WOW from me. Beautiful pie, beautiful soup with lovely baked on the premises bread and salty butter, amazing cake, huge slice, huge taste. All for £10. Plenty of friendly staff, lovely premises and parking at the back. You literally cannot get better! Some places deserve to do well and this is one of them.

Been 4 times for food, have not had any hot food available on any of them. Although the pies are lovely, at this time of year really need to sort something out to heat food up. No hot or cold food available this time just counter food.

Extensive menu of breakfasts, brunches & lunches with vegetarian & vegan options. Patisseries to die for. Very good value. Finish by walking it all off along the river Derwent.

Such a nice place! Lovely outdoor seating and friendly staff. The food was soooo good. I was very saintly and had a salad, but it was very hard to resist the wonderful cakes!

We have been regular customers of this fabulous bakery since the end of 2017. The owner and staff go out of their way to provide an exceptional service to customers and the community alike. Even during both lockdowns Rachel the owner has provided a service to the community above and beyond. We are not residents of the area but travel a short distance to sample the wonderful selection of its delightful menu. The bakery itself offers an extensive menu all of which is highly recommended. From savoury to sweet such as Sunday lunches, afternoon teas, cakes, pies the list is endless. The surrounding area offers lovely views and pleasant walks. The outside seating area allows you to take in the beautiful scenery. Facilities are provided to secure cycles. We would highly recommend a visit to purchase the delicious goods. Our favourite place to be cant wait wait for lockdown to end so we can once more enjoy sitting in this lovely place.

Good cafe, nice food and interior. Large selection of cakes although not all are homemade and some are a little bit sickly. The savoury bakes like the cheese and onion pasties are very nice too. They also do homemade ice cream but I've not got around to trying this.
