Where To Get Pancakes In Newcastle & North Tyneside Coast
Pancake Day is one of my favourite foodie days of the year, but if you don’t enjoy making them yourself then there are plenty of places in the North East where you can get your fix. And I don’t just mean for Pancake Day. These fabulous cafes and restaurants are serving up delicious pancakes with all sorts of toppings year round. So here’s my list of where to get pancakes in Newcastle. This covers Newcastle, Jesmond, Heaton and the North Tyneside coast too.
For once I won’t waffle on (no pun intended), so this really is just a list of where to get them and some of their specialities. It includes sweet and savoury options of pancakes in Newcastle and at the coast. Enjoy!
Creams
The Newcastle branch of the popular dessert parlour Creams can be found on Grainger Street, and they have a big selection of crepe and American style pancakes available including nutella, banoffee, Oreo, red velvet, Ferrero Roche, milk and white chocolate and maple.
See the full Creams pancake menu here.
Quay Ingredient
I told some of my friends from outside of Newcastle to go here when they were staying in town and they said it was the best place they’ve ever been for breakfast. As the name suggests, find them on the Quayside and be prepared to queue because they’re so popular. They have cinnamon pancakes on the menu all the time, and release specific pancake day menus too. Keep an eye on their Instagram here for this years.
The Dispensary
The Dispensary coffee shop in Newcastle has an unbelievable selection of pancake flavours, and they often release a special menu for Pancake Day, including toffee crisp, sweet apple, custard cream, peanut butter and jelly and jam roly poly in past years.

Downstairs at the bottom end of Eldon Square, sits Crepeaffaire, the crepe and pancake spot that serves nothing else, all day every day.

Societe Cafe and Bar mainly serve pizza, coffee and cocktails, but they recently shared on their Instagram story that they’re putting pancakes on the menu this month. This is a great spot for breakfast and I’m sure the pancakes will be delicious.
Ernest Ouseburn
A great lively spot in Ouseburn and they do amazing breakfast, pancakes are on the menu. Enjoy maple bacon pancakes at weekends, with Nicholsons of Whitley Bay bacon, and a fried egg.
Willi’s Cafe Jesmond
Willi’s is always a busy spot on Clayton Road in Jesmond, and as well as their usual cafe, breakfast and lunch food they serve up a mix of sweet and savoury pancakes on the menu too. Their chocolate and strawberry ones look good, but so do their bacon and maple syrup version.
Jam Jar, Jesmond
Also in Jesmond, this time on Osborne Road is Jam Jar, somewhere I love for bottomless brunch. Their food and drinks are great, and they add pancakes to the menu for Pancake Day. Normally they serve waffles too.
Monsieur Crepe Cafe
They may be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but Monsier Crepe Cafe is a must visit in High Heaton on any other day. They were inspired by the creperies of the South of France, and the menu is amazing. Check it out here.
Etto Gosforth
Etto’s pancakes are delicious, I tried their Christmas flavours and they’re so good. Find them either through Gosforth shopping centre or from the other side off Gosforth Park. A really cute, lovely cafe and I’m sure they’ll be adding some specials on the menu for pancake day. If you’ve not been yet they’re worth a visit, check out their Instagram here.

Offering healthy, clean food in their lovely little premises in Gosforth, if you’re looking for protein pancakes then head to Deli Espresso. Available with either vanilla or chocolate protein.

Where To Get Pancakes At The Coast
When it comes to pancakes, it’s not just central Newcastle serving up flipping good ones! Here’s some of the places at the coast to try.
Allards
I’m a big fan of Allards brunch menu, especially their build your own breakfasts but I’ve also recently had their savoury breakfast pancakes. They’re big and fluffy, with syrup. For Pancake Day they serving some one off specialities all day.

Chloe Mae’s can be found near Cullercoats metro, and their food gets really good reviews, as do their frappes, hot chocolates and cakes. They’ve previously served special smashed Oreo stack pancakes all day for Pancake Day, but their other flavours usually include biscoff and banana, strawberries, nutella and cream, and bacon and maple syrup.

Valerie’s tearoom in the Spanish City on Whitley Bay sea front serve up pancakes for pancake day, and every other day they’re open. Flavours like biscoff, chocolate and strawberry, enjoy with a view of the coast from this iconic spot. They’ve recently been renovated too, so enjoy them in their brand new environment.
The Boatyard
Another popular spot in Cullercoats, the Boatyard have pancakes on the menu all the time, but for pancake day they’ve previously put on a special pancake menu for Pancake Day. You could choose from one of two sized stacks, and then choose your toppings to build your own. Personally their maple syrup, blueberry and banana ones are my favourite at any time! Follow their instagram to be updated with this years menu.
Cullercoats Coffee
With new venues popping up all along the North Tyneside coast, their menu does include pancakes. Their standard flavour is blueberries and syrup, but they might broaden the options specifically for Pancake Day. Check their individual locations for opening times as they differ across Cullercoats, Whitley Bay and Tynemouth.
Signature Lounge
The food at Signature on Park View in Whitley Bay is really good and I’ve had the pancakes myself before so can definitely recommend. Take a look on their Instagram for this years menu when it’s released, you can’t book but if you stop by you shouldn’t be waiting too long for a table.
Fox & Finch
Another really popular breakfast spot on Park View, Fox & Finch have buttermilk American style pancakes in one of two flavours – blueberries and honey or Nutella and strawberries.
Rustic Cup Coffee
Rustic Cup in Whitley Bay don’t specifically have pancakes but they do have waffles which are pretty similar, and very good. Try their apple and blueberry flavour with ice cream and maple syrup – delicious!
Whether you’re looking for Pancake Day specifics, or just after them on any normal day of the year at least we can all agree there’s some really good places to choose from. I will continue to update this through February as places announce their one off menus for Pancake Day 2023.
