As ever brilliant, had grannies breakfast this time, my wife had a bacon and egg teacake, both very tasty and good cup of coffee to go with it. If going later do not miss out on the smoked salmon stack it is

Sandwich was disappointing and bland. The scone was good though. Closing time said 5pm online. Initially very nice service when we went in at 3.30. But they took our food away (we hadn’t finished) and rushed us out at 4pm. Would rather they hadn’t served us as we didn’t have time to eat anything we then had to pay for.

A lovely little cafe tucked away downstairs, great atmosphere and service excellent. Just eaten the best sandwich of my life - can thoroughly recommend the chicken, stuffing and bacon club sandwich. Definitely worth a visit as menu has great choice.

Quirky underground cafe. Just found this recently and been back twice already. Only 5 or 6 tables. But, if full when you arrive, will let you reserve it for a short while later and you can mooch about the shops nearby for 10-20'. Tasty food and generous portions too. Not accessible to all as steep stairs and stairs up to toilet as well.

What a lovely little eatery with lovely chatty staff. Great homemade food with a very varied menu. Hubby had a club sandwich which was full to the brim and I had a jacket potato with homemade chilli. Both very tasty and accompanied by a really nice home made coleslaw and side salad. My hot drink was very hot too which made a change. We saw lots of cakes on offer that looked lovely but just couldn’t fit one in. This is a very small place so you have to be selective when you visit. I think in total there are only about 4 tables but we arrived at 3pm and apart from the first 15 mins had the place to ourselves. If I was local I would definitely visit again and when I return to the area will make a point if it.

There's a small tea room near my home town that does the best coronation chicken anywhere, bur, after having coronation chicken sandwich at Grannie's I have changed my mind. Fantastic food, cakes and awesome staff, definitely coming here again.

This is such a charming and charactful tearoom and shop full of interesting features. It really is so cosy and the tea and cake was delicious. The staff are friendly and welcoming. If you're in Alnwick, you must visit.

This café is a wonderful place to enjoy delicious sandwiches in a friendly and cozy setting. You’ll love the warm atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. What sets this café apart is its commitment to using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients in every sandwich they prepare. It’s a delightful experience that not only satisfies your taste buds but also supports local producers.
There's never much choice in Alnwick for places to stop for coffee and a snack so went here and it was ok. Wouldn't say it was absolutely amazing and fantastic but it served its purpose for what we were after of a coffee and a snack. Would say it's average.

We are here today as a party of four with a dog. We booked and I would highly recommend booking for the lunch period. Once you get downstairs it’s easy to see why it’s so popular as staff are so very friendly and the food is absolutely brilliant. We had a mix of jacket potatoes, club sandwich, soup and scone and a Grannies afternoon tea with coffees and tea . It was stunning both in presentation, service and taste. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and will definitely return - simply stunning.Parking: Free and paid for parking in nearby streets and car park.Wheelchair accessibility: The cafe part is downstairs without a lift but the shop is level off the street.

We were lucky to get a table as it's very busy. We ordered sandwiches & a large hunk of delicious cake each. The sandwiches were freshly made & delicious & the cake extremly moreish! The staff were lovely & welcoming.

We both had the quiche homemade and very tasty, excellent value for money. It is very small so would recommend reserving a table
