Ernest Cafe Bar

Great meal!

I had been hankering after a good veggie breakfast while I was staying in Newcastle and Ernest's certainly fits the bill. We had the plant based breakfast with: hummus, cauliflower, spinach, potatoes, fakey bacon, beans, mushrooms, toast and added an egg and some halloumi. Well stuffed and all washed down with a ginger, lime and soda drink. Excellent start to the day and to explore the Biscuit Factory Art Gallery afterwards.

Amazing breakfast after a heavy night. Delicious

Walking the dog down the Ouseburn- stopped for a coffee and hubby wanted a bacon sandwich. Coffee was perfect and according to hubby the bacon sandwich was the best!

Great place to have a drink in Newcastle

I’ve walked past here loads and finally stopped in as part of a group mid sunday morning. It’s got a lovely vibe very unique and friendly we were sitting out the back in a light filled room however this got progressively warmer as the time passed to almost greenhouse temperatures so I’m hoping in the summer months there are windows to open. Food wise I have to say I wasn’t that impressed. I got the halloumi hash bowl. It seemed to have the smallest egg possible, barely any hollandaise, skimped on the spinach and was very heavy on the potatoes. Something the 5 other people in the group who got the bowls mentioned. It was like having a bowl of roasties for brunch. For £12 I was hoping for better and have a feeling this place trades on its vibe a little. Having said that I’d be happy to go back try more of the menu, take a seat outside and people watch.

Great wee find.
