I'm the receptionist of a high profile company within Middlesbrough. Marie not only deliverd the most amazing buffet you have ever seen at very short notice, but also catered to everyone's diety needs and food preferences which was no easy task. The CEO of the company now requests Cafe81 catering each time he visits our North East Office. I personally can't thank Marie enough for all her efforts and for knocking their executive socks off with her skill and talent. More...

I have been twice to this cafe and can highly recommend it. I had the small English breakfast both times. Cooked to perfection, not greasy at all and very tasty! Value for money and excellent customer service, with the owner over-seeing everything to ensure things are completed as they should be in a polite and friendly manner. Good varied menu which would suit all appetites. Will 100% be back - probably this week 🤣 More...

- The Graham Brock Band recorded our showreel a couple of weeks ago, and having been going to Cafe 81 since it opened, I asked Anne-Marie to put some food on for my band. We weren't disappointed , the vegan quiche and butties were excellent. More...

I went to this venue for afternoon tea - gluten free and vegetarian. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Free parking outside. I was very happy with the amount of food for the price paid. The menu offered gluten free, dairy free, vegan and vegetarian so very inclusive with good procedures in place to prevent cross contamination. The chocolate brownies were delicious and you would never tell that they were gluten free! More...

Just want to say thank you to the wonderful team at Cafe 81 for being so accommodating and making me a vegetarian parmo, because they're so hard to find! I enjoyed it so much! And my partner assures me the normal parmo is just as good - and the chips and coleslaw are gorgeous as well. We will definitely be back for more afternoon parmo dates 😋 More...

I can’t recommend the buffet services enough. There was soo much food we needed to move the set up to the kitchen as it didn’t all fit on the table we had set out. Lol. Overall the buffet was well priced and definitely catered for everyone, adults and kids alike. I didn’t need to think about anything. From salad to a good selection of sandwiches to quiches sausage rolls and pork pies! A hidden gem and a fabulous find. We will be definitely using Cafe 81 again! More...

Thank you for a brilliant mother's day afternoon tea today, this is the second time I've ordered after having one at Christmas and both were great value! The ordering and delivery was easy, the food was tasty, and there was so much food we have leftovers for tomorrow! The extra treats and flowers were a lovely touch too. Thanks again. More...

Brilliant Customer service. Home made food wherever possible, and for me, being able to reliably eat Gluten Free. I went in the cafe in Lockdown ease last summer and their Thai chicken curry was beautiful (home made).. Fully recommend.

I stopped off for a bit of lunch, when I walked in my first thought was why have I never been here before, lovely place served by 2 lovely ladies, and to top it off the Toastie was absolutely gorgeous, and the coleslaw was certainly home made, I will certainly be coming back 🎄🎄😀

Such an amazing selection of high quality gluten free food - I don’t recall ever using ‘high quality’ and ‘gluten free’ together in a sentence before! I came home with an experimental vegan cheesecake. Now, I’m not a huge fan of cheesecake, so I insisted my other half, who loves ‘standard’ cheesecake had some. I got a reluctant ‘ok then’. Followed almost instantaneously with ‘that’s LOVELY!! I’ll have all of it!!’ I managed to keep half of it and it was blooming lovely. I stumbled over Cafe 81 and I’ve been back every time I’m in the area. Amazing place!! Absolute gem. More...
