About Cafe Beam

Tucked away in Gosforth, this bright little café has become the kind of place people queue for — expect a 15-minute wait for a table on a Saturday, and food that takes its time because it's cooked fresh to order. The staff tell you upfront if there's a delay, which is more than most places manage, and they're warm with children and unfazed by requests, including gluten-free and vegan. Breakfasts and brunch are the draw: enormous, beautifully plated plates of eggs, vegetarian and vegan cooked breakfasts, kids' pancakes, and rich vegan brownies, all at prices that feel like a mistake. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, outdoor seating and free parking nearby. The room is small, so it fills fast — and hot food stops around 2:30pm.
