Crusoe's

About Crusoe's

Crusoe's is a family-run coffee shop, street food kitchen and events space set right on Longsands Beach in Tynemouth, where guests can watch the tide come and go from the sand. The business has served locals and visitors for over two decades, and works to a simple philosophy of 'genuine food for genuine people' in a casual beachside setting. Its position on the award-winning beach makes it a familiar landmark for beachgoers, surfers and coastal walkers.

The coffee shop side serves breakfasts, sandwiches, toasties, salads, jacket potatoes and home-baked cakes, muffins and scones, while the street food kitchen offers barbecue, wraps, seafood and vegetarian dishes along with wines, ales and cocktails. Beyond food and drink, Crusoe's hosts live music, comedy shows and supper clubs, and takes bookings for private functions, giving the venue a dual role as both a daytime café and an evening events space.
