About Beaches and Cream
Beaches and Cream is a cosy seaside cafe at 1 Victoria Crescent in Cullercoats, looking out over the sheltered curve of Cullercoats Bay. Its position on the coastal walk between Tynemouth and Whitley Bay makes it a natural pit stop for walkers, families and beachgoers, with tables outside for taking in the sea views. The bay setting and traditional seaside feel give the cafe a relaxed, holiday atmosphere throughout the year.
The cafe serves speciality Cafe Vinci coffees alongside other hot drinks, homemade cakes and an old-fashioned ice cream menu suited to a day by the sea, as well as light lunches. It is a small, independent spot rather than a large restaurant, valued for a simple offering of good coffee, cake and ice cream in one of the North East coast's most picturesque villages.
