Probably best for students on a budget and less adventurous boba drinkers.

They are efficient and friendly enough.

Akins is a great little independent bakery - one of a dying breed left in South Shields. They sell…read moreall manner of bakery items - bread, cakes, sausage rolls, pasties - as well as cooked meats, crisps, drinks and other things! The staff are very friendly and the bakery products are generally very good. It goes without saying that you pay more for homemade stuff (rather than some of the prepacked rubbish you find in supermarkets) but it is definitely worth paying slightly more as the difference is in the taste. They are always packed on a lunchtime with college students as they do sell sandwiches and other lunch items, so it is best to go before or after the lunchtime rush if you are in a hurry. All in all I really like this bakery. Especially the chocolate ginger cake!

Great little shop in the bustling Newcastle city centre market 'The granger Market'…read more They have all the little bits I need for baking my bread and all the oils i'll ever need to dip them in. The owners are passionate and dedicated foodies and will always off you some advice.

800th review, and pleased to give it to "mmm...." Silly name, but very fitting!…read more I'm a massive foodie, and I love to cook. I have a huge recipe collection and that includes several that very unusual ingredients. I file those recipes away in my head, thinking "if you can ever find amchur powder/palm sugar/tamarind paste/quail eggs/ancho chile powder/etc, you'll have to buy it and make this recipe!" Having just moved to Newcastle, I have already been impressed by how many ethnic ingredients and spices are just in your average Tesco, but Mmm... blows them all away! I think I spent 30 minutes in here, just scanning the shelves, trying to memorize what I saw so that I could come back when I needed a specialty ingredient. They have everything! For such a small shop, the selection is truly impressive. Lentils/grains/beans, hard-to-find spices, and my very favorite - a Mexican/Latin section with lots of different chile powders, chipotle chiles in adobo, and even Mexican cheese like queso fresco! And fresh corn tortillas! I thought I'd never ever find those things in Newcastle, and was well impressed. They also have olive oils and vinegars, some in bottles on the shelf and others to be tasted from large dispensers. You can fill an empty bottle of oil/vinegar then bring it back for a refill when it's empty and get a discounted price. Oh lord what else - hot sauces, preserves, loads of unusual condiments, beautiful dried pastas, various flours.... and yes, quail eggs! As they say on their website "Don't ask if we stock something, ask us where it is!" Right in the centre of Grainger Market, you will find this small but perfect foodie paradise. There's not a recipe in the world you can't make when you have access to everything that Mmm...has to offer! I'll probably be in here once a week.
