Initial thoughts:
If you are an alcoholic, don't come to Great North Museum Cafe. Not only because they don't sell alcohol, but also the cafe is not as exciting as the exhibition in that Museum.The environment is not comfy - cold and dark without music, and there is not enough space for you to rest your behind.
A cappuccino costs £2.10 and it tastes like water and smells like it's been burnt. The chocolate cakes seem nice but a tiny slice will cost you £1.95. Sandwiches are alright - £2.35. It is exactly the same as the one in Tesco, but much more expensive!The Lowdown:
The waiter's face looks a lot like a man I owe a grand to. Wait a minute: I HAVE spent over £4 on the crappy coffee and a ham & mustard 'sandwich'. A rip off!
The only thing that might draw you back is the booklet that was placed by the till entitled "Weddings at Great North Museum:Hancock", with a picture of a newly married couple behind a dinosaur. Weird, but you might at least have a laugh!
Verdict:
If your afternoon is boring, if you don't have a lot of money, and if you've got no patience for sitting in the dark, my recommendation is 'do not come here'.
