Service could’ve been better and was pretty slow but not that busy as we went midweek. Food made up for it though - got the steak baguette which tasted amazing.

Great place, good selection of food. Gets busy, so be prepared for a wait, but it's worth the wait.

Fantastic food and coffee at Kith & Kin. I had ‘The Aussie’ which tasted fresh and was full of flavour. I followed this with a cake, which I found to be the ideal sweetness. The flat white was perfect, I don’t often say this as I’m fussy about coffee. Staff were friendly and efficient. There was seating indoors and outside. It’s a busy cafe, not surprising given how nice the food and drinks are, so it may be difficult to get seated at busy times. They take table bookings but only if it’s for four or more people.

What a great little find in Whitley! Fantastic gluten free-friendly breakfast with lovely staff and great coffee. Veggie and vegan options, huge portions, there must have been ten slices of bacon on the blueberry French toast. Definitely recommend the quality, value for money and great service.

An absolute standout of a cafe in Whitley Bay. The food is unreal and mostly sourced from local businesses. Great prices for the portion sizes, taste and overall quality of food. Coffee is from Pink Lane, so you know it’s good! They also offer takeaway as well. The staff are all lovely, friendly and eager to help with anything to ensure your visit is as pleasant as possible. Please be advised that booking is quite recommended. What a gem of a place!

The best brunch spot in Whitley Bay. I am a regular visitor as the service is always great and food is amazing. The menu changes seasonally to offer the best in season produce whilst the classics remain on the menu. The atmosphere is very welcoming and inclusive; I have been as a couple, with friends, with my daughter and alone and always received the same warm welcome. The staff are very accommodating to high chairs/ prams and wheelchair users. K&K is a breastfeeding friendly environment and also has an offering of feminine hygiene products in the bathroom which shows the thought behind the business of offering a welcoming space to all. Kith and Kin is home to the best cappuccino in my opinion, topped with real chocolate. I always opt for the French toast, choosing the special French toast on my last visit which was cereal milk and it was absolutely gorgeous (around 20 for the French toast and 2 cappuccinos). Other top contenders for me are the loaded hash browns, steak sarnie and the classic bacon sandwich which is jam packed with crispy bacon. The staff are great with allergens and the menu has vegan and veggie options. Always recommend booking in advance if attending on a weekend to avoid disappointment but K&K is always a recommendation of mine to anyone after a superb brunch spot.

Wanted to find somewhere to get a bacon sandwich and managed to get a table here! Had a really good bacon sandwich with a lot of bacon which was and served in a lovely crispy but also soft roll. Also had a really good latte. Friendly service, and will definitely be back!
