Cafebar One

Cafebar One started when we opened our first café at the Cradlewell in Jesmond in 2004 and is one of the only true independent cafes in the area. The café continues to go from strength to strength due to our strong core values and the fantastic staff that work with us. We believe in consistent good quality, homemade, affordable food and excellent service. All our food is made from scratch, using fresh ingredients and, wherever possible, using local independent suppliers and locally sourced food.
The quality of our drinks is important to us and particularly the coffee. Our suppliers Café Gabrielle are also a local family run business. They source the best beans which are roasted in Italy and supplied to a select, handpicked range of cafes and restaurants. To ensure that we do their coffee the justice that it deserves, all of our staff are trained on an ongoing basis by their Italian barista. Even their filter coffee is carefully selected and we brew regularly to make sure the quality is maintained.
For the tea drinkers, we sell a range of exclusive whole leaf teas and even the good old breakfast tea is carefully selected.
In December 2011, we took the leap from one café to two, and opened Cafebar One in Harton Village, South Shields.
It was essential that all our core values and beliefs that are at the heart of the ‘Cafebar One brand’ were transferred to our new café. Again, as with the Jesmond café we are using independent suppliers from the local area for the majority of our stock, which is one of the main reasons, we think, we have only had good feedback since we opened.
……. And the next step!
On 10th September we opened our third café at the Quadrus Centre, Boldon Business Park. We were approached by the Centre managers, Tedco Ltd to take the Cafebar One service and ethos to Quadrus and provide café and catering services for the entrepreneurs and others, who like ourselves, are hardworking and independently minded with a good eye for quality.

The Quadrus Centre is an incubator site for start-ups, it is a great location to meet just off the A19, provides a range of meeting rooms. Whilst welcoming all members of the public, we create the perfect ambience for an external, informal business meeting with great food and coffee (and tea of course!)

It has been a challenging, exciting and rewarding journey since we hung up our business suits, particularly in the current economic climate and we are grateful for your custom and support.
