“ An absolute gem hidden from the main square. I only wish I'd visited sooner. As a vegan, Hextol Tans always has a varied selection throughout the week of both savoury and sweet; more importantly, homemade, completely delicious, portion sizes are generous and the prices are very reasonable. My go to place when I'm in town. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. I highly recommend paying a visit and by doing so supporting a worthy cause ”
“ Had the panini with falafel. Absolutely amazing, homemade falafel. Visited today while wandering Hexham and found it by chance. Staff and food were fantastic. Managed to grab a seat outside which made it even better. Beautiful little place and staff were polite, and on the ball. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants some nice quality food at a good price. ”
“ We've been here twice for lunch and had delicious fresh food both times with wonderfully friendly and attentive service. I had the root veg and lentil bowl today which was amazing! Highly recommend this lovely place. ”
“ With a warm welcome, and staff who are friendly and helpful, this vegetarian cafe has a decent menu, with many vegan options. Additionally, it is in itself a worthwhile cause as it seeks to employ people with mental health issues and learning disabilities as part of its charitable aims. I only had a cup of coffee and a toasted tea cake, with my granddaughter, but they were delicious and served quickly and well presented. The staff were happy to help with the pushchair and made the whole experience a pleasure I will return to. ”
