The next time you’re in North Shields and need to refuel, be sure to give our unique, light dining café a try, and take extra comfort knowing that your money is going towards helping tackle the growing issue that is youth homelessness in North Tyneside.

On the surface, our floor to ceiling glass entrance, bright interior and spacious seating area provides a welcoming setting for members across the community to meet friends, work on that important project and feed the family. Less obvious is the work carried out each and every day by the dedicated YMCA staffing team in supporting young members of the community, through supported accommodation, after school activities and access to education.

Our café offers a wide variety of food and drinks, from a delicious pot of Ringtons tea, or a freshly made fruit smoothie, to a hearty, homemade quiche. Hosted by a strong team of volunteers, adult learners and YMCA staff, we pride ourselves on serving up homely, delicious food, made fresh every day.
