The Butterfly Cabinet

                   

 

Hey everyone

 

My cousin and I are constantly seeking out new quirky little places to go for drinks or food and we heard about the Butterfly Cabinet, so decided we would go for breakfast on Sunday.  I always think Sundays are a nice day to go out and get breakfast or lunch as they are quite long boring days. 

 

So yesterday we decided to meet for 10.30 to head over for breakfast,  I was totally all to pot with the clocks going back.  You would think I would have grasped how it worked by now!!

 

The Butterfly Cabinet is in Newcastle on Heaton Road.  When we got there we were shocked as the queue was right out of the door! It was so cold but we heard it was so good and didn't want to turn away.  There were some funny girls in the flat above offering to sell us bacon sandwiches for £5 each, I was so hungry and tempted to take them up on that!!

 

There was a little cheer each time someone left the café and at last after a half an hour wait in the wind, we were inside!

 

This sign was up above the door and apparently the Butterfly Cabinet is world famous! how's about that then!

The décor in there was so cute, carpeted walls, pictures everywhere, big lampshades, books, old ornaments and of course lots of butterfly's!

 

I particularly liked this big chandelier

 

 

There was so much food to choose from and I didn't make my decision until the waitress was there with her pen and paper and I was forced to choose!!

 

 

I decided to go with Sausage, eggs, hash browns beans, toast and a big mug of tea.  The hash browns were so nice and I am not usually a fan!

 

When we asked for our bill, it come with two chew sweets which I thought was so fun compared to the usual mint imperial!   It was quite an ok price for a breakfast mine come to about £6.00 all together.

 

I would definitely go back to the Butterfly Cabinet maybe for lunch next time.  They also reopen on an evening sometimes for bands and things so would be keen to check one of those out too.

 

I would recommend you give it a try if you're in the area as it is world famous after all :P

 

What is your favourite little hangout?

 

Peace out
