Welcome to the Artisan Tea Room, a hidden gem nestled in the charming coastal town of Newbiggin-by-the-Sea. Located at 51 Front St, this delightful cafe is an oasis for those seeking a cozy spot to unwind with a cup of tea or savor a delectable meal.

Step inside and be enveloped by a warm, inviting atmosphere that immediately sets the tone for a relaxing experience. The decor is an eclectic mix of cozy furniture, artisan touches, and local artwork, making it not just a café but a community hub where creativity flourishes. Whether you’re here to chat with friends, take a break from shopping, or simply enjoy a moment to yourself, the Artisan Tea Room feels like a home away from home.

The menu features a wonderful array of comfort food, highlighting local flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. Customers rave about the hearty cullen skink, a creamy Scottish soup that is both nourishing and satisfying. Pair it with a slice of their quiche for a lighter yet fulfilling option. For a sweet treat, don’t miss out on the cream and lemon curd scone — a dish that has received numerous accolades from satisfied patrons. The scones are freshly baked, crispy on the outside, yet perfectly soft and moist inside, ready to be adorned with a dollop of clotted cream and tangy lemon curd.

Customer reviews shine a light on the cafe's top-notch offerings. Andrew Oakland praises the “tasty” meals and appreciates the café's overall vibe, highlighting its excellent management. Samantha Waters shares her delight in the unexpectedly wonderful service and the “best egg sandwich and chocolate cake” she's ever had, noting the cafe's ability to handle busy moments gracefully. The warm service is a consistent favorite, as Neil King describes the staff as “friendly” and the food as “fantastic.”

One of the standout features of the Artisan Tea Room is its dog-friendly policy, truly embracing the community spirit of Newbiggin-by-the-Sea. Customers can bring their furry friends along to enjoy a momentous meal, complete with special treats and a cozy bed for the pups. As Jasmine Rose Ireland highlights, it's not just a place to eat but a welcoming local eatery that makes you feel appreciated as a guest.

With an affordable price point and generous portions, this tea room provides an excellent value for the quality of food and service. Margaret Ward highlights her budget-friendly experience of enjoying two hot chocolates and two scrumptious slices of cake for just £10.30 — a great testament to this cafe’s commitment to quality without straining your wallet.

In summary, Artisan Tea Room is more than just a cafe; it's a delightful experience where community, fantastic food, and a warm welcome intertwine. So whether you’re a local or just visiting, make sure to stop by for a wholesome meal and a sweet treat — you won't be disappointed!

We had a tasty bowl of cullen skink and a quiche, together with a cream and lemon curd scone. Its a nice place, with good feel and well run.

So impressed with this place. We arrived at the same time as a huge 80th birthday was taking place and almost left because it seemed unrealistic to expect the lady working on her own to be able to serve us any time soon. We were reassured, however and before long were served the most delicious lunch. Super tasty soup, best egg sandwich and chocolate cake we had ever had and for a very reasonable price. Dog friendly too, we will definitely be back!

Very busy but we'll worth the wait. Lovely hot chocolate and delicious carrot cake, and a gluten free coconut cake for my friend. Both beautifully moist. Dogs welcomed, water bed and treats for them. Service was very friendly and prices reasonable, 2 hot chocolate and 2 cake for £10.30. Definitely worth every penny. The more substantial meals looked delicious will have to try something next time

Lovely local eatery with a lovely welcome. My sister and I stopped here for a bite to eat while walking our dog, and we'll certainly be making our way back in the future. It's a beautiful little setting, with a mish Mash of chairs and tables on offer, a pet bed available for the pup, and local artists and producers crafts on offer to purchase. The food was good, and the coffee was great. I decided upon a rather unusual Sconewich and wasn't disappointed in the least. A sun dried tomato and cheese scone filled with bacon and onion chutney, it was a brilliant concept, and one I thoroughly enjoyed. My sister decided upon a slice of the homemade chocolate cake, and that was lovely too. Cheap, welcoming, and delicious, this cafe is perfect for a quick stop or for afternoon tea. Dogs are welcome (if well behaved), I highly recommend.

Met friends for tea and scones this afternoon. Lovely fresh scones and plenty of hot water to top teas up. Took a piece of lemon drizzle cake home which was delicious. Really love this little cafe

Lovely tea room, comfortable and stylish with a relaxing atmosphere. Welcoming owner who knows how to rustle up a fabulous brekkie sandwich and cracking coffee. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Newbiggin by the Sea.
