Welcome to the whole new Cafebar One - Same great food, same great coffee, same great staff! Bought by Jo and Gez almost 20 years ago, Cafebar One was, and still is, a much loved café amongst the community with fantastic long term loyal customers. Fast forward to 2022 and we have big plans...

We would like to introduce One Kitchen and Social. Our new rebrand fits in with our long-term plans to build on our successful café, grow our menu and opening hours to a create great social place for you to meet friends and family.

We are looking for someone to join our front of house team 🙂 You must be:

☕️ Barista trained - be fully up and running from day one, making good quality coffees with latte art… at speed! (Think long lines of drinks checks on a busy Saturday morning, filled with every variety of drink possible 🧋☕️🍹)

☕️ Have enough experience and confidence to, at times, work as the sole front of house person, giving great customer service in a busy environment. (Think running around like a maniac taking orders, making great drinks, taking out food and taking payment - whilst also smiling, chatting to regulars and telling people how cute their dogs are 😁)

☕️ MUST availability to work some weekday shifts (daytime), as well as full weekend availability. Part time hours - 2 to 3 shifts per week.

☕️ Be passionate about working for a small independent business within a great community packed with regulars. We need our staff to care about our little corner of Jesmond as much as we do 🥰

Good tips, free food and drinks and awesome people to work with - what’s not to love! 😁

Please send your CV via our socials to apply, ALSO include your availability to work shifts in the week (we are looking to fill specific gaps in our rota).

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Well, Chicken & Waffles escalated quickly. 😂

Whenever we put a new dish on the menu, there’s always that little moment of we think it’s good… but will anyone actually order it?

Apparently, YES.

On Friday we thought we’d stocked up and prepped enough chicken to see us through the whole weekend and into Monday.

You’d eaten the lot by Saturday afternoon 😂

It’s officially the fastest selling new dish we’ve ever launched - oh and plot twist - our fastest selling new dish ever is gluten free. Well we didn’t see that one coming 😂

And we’ve gone big this time…

🍗 American-style Chicken & Waffles
🌶️ Cajun Pulled Pork Hash Bowl
🥪 Philly Roast Pork Stack
🔥 Southern Fried Chicken Stack with Hot Honey
🫐 Blueberry Crumble Waffles

Oh, and one other tiny thing…

OUR WHOLE MENU IS NOW AVAILABLE GLUTEN FREE. 🙌

Yep. The waffles. The crispy chicken. The stacks. The whole lot.

It’s basically your duty to now let all your gluten free mates know. Don’t let them down…. 😜

If your autumn social calendar is looking a little bare, we may have just the thing 🎨🥂

This Sip & Paint evening is being run by one of our lovely former waitresses, Laura, and we’re delighted to be welcoming her back to One Kitchen & Social!

Come with friends or come along on your own and meet some new ones. No artistic talent required - just a relaxed evening, some drinks and a bit of painting.

Booking link in our bio. We’d love to see you there 😁

We urgently need to talk about Pumpkin Spice…🎃

Two days into September and customers are already asking when our traditional Pumpkin Spice latte is making a return 🎃

Slight problem…

While planning our autumn drinks menu at the weekend, we’d pretty much decided to retire it 😬 We thought the world had finally had enough of Pumpkin Spice and moved on to newer, shinier things.

Apparently….we may have got this wrong 🤦‍♀️

Have we been too hasty? Is Pumpkin Spice still an autumn essential or has it had its day?

Tell us honestly… its appearance on our Autumn drinks line up may depend on it! 🎃

See behind the scenes at one of our private hires!

The party host was coeliac and really wanted gluten free catering where she could eat the whole buffet without worrying……and she got her wish 😁

They created their own playlist and even bought personalised b**r mats with the party girl’s photo on!

We love doing these intimate, personalised parties. Perfect for birthdays, hen parties, work Christmas parties, engagement parties or just a big family gathering.

So if you fancy having your next party with us, all the details are in our bio or just drop us a message 😁

☕️ 5 things we’ve spent money on that were actually worth it…

After 24 years of running a cafe, we’ve bought A LOT of stuff.

Some of it has been brilliant.
Some of it…not so much 😬

But here are 5 things that have genuinely made cafe life easier, quicker or just slightly less chaotic!

And yes, the staff made the list. Obviously. 🥰

The Picky Social Menu for tonight’s private hire 😁. Perfect for evenings where having a drink in your hand is top priority, but having picky bits is just as important. Homemade tzatziki, harissa and houmous with flatbreads, olives and breadstick 🥂

Busy week at Gluten Free.ze! ❄️

We’ve been busy filling the freezer ready for the weekend - and every single product is 100% gluten free.
