A new dining experience has landed in Whitley Bay as fine dining, afternoon tea and all-day breakfasts come to the menu of an old local favourite that has undergone a huge transformation.
The news was announced in October that Cullercoats Coffee Co. had taken over the popular seafront venue Cafe 19, with the new owners undergoing a £225,000 refurbishment to give the venue a major makeover before the grand reopening in November. This is set to be followed by a second refurb early next year, which will see the cafe expanded to the second floor of the East Parade building to offer a private dining experience.
Cafe 19 is the fourth venue from the Cullercoats company, with others having popped up across the coast in Cullercoats, Tynemouth, and most recently in the form of a French-style bistro elsewhere in Whitley Bay which opened its doors in August. The new owners have decided to keep the original Cafe 19 name to honour the beloved venue’s standout reputation in the town, but the menu has been revamped to offer something completely new.
