The Origami Café & Gift Shop

Popped in as it looked nice, ordered takeaway tea, coffees and some delicious cakes. There were so many cute things like mugs and pencils but I purchased a maneki-neko sanitiser bottle. Apparently their speciality is milkshakes, it was so overwhelming with tons of flavours but none of us normally drink them so we didn't order any, plus I'm a bit lactose sensitive - I was able to order oat milk for my tea.

Gorgeous cafe, beautifully decorated, yummy food and drinks and friendly service. Highly recommend.

Cute and cosy atmosphere, lots of cute gifts. Homemade cakes were delicious!

We wanted to try an independent cafe shop as opposed to something like "Greggs". Amazed by the reviews we came in to the Origami cafe and really loved the service and the MILKSHAKES!!! I had the Biscoff. Loved it.

We love visiting this little cafe every time we staycation near Alnwick with our family (we live in Scotland and they live in England so it’s a good half way point).

The owner Judy has a very special little place here. She’s so friendly and welcoming to her customers and always up for a chat. Great cakes and coffee, awesome milkshakes which the kids go mad for (there are dozens of flavours) and loads of pocket money toys and gifts (stationery, pin badges, purses, lip glosses etc) which our daughter and her cousins love.

Judy also makes cards and wreaths from origami paper which she sometimes sells. They seem to sell as fast as she makes them so worth grabbing if you see one as they make really original gifts.

We were so glad to come back to Alnwick this summer and see the cafe still open as we know how hard it has been for small businesses like this during Covid.

Highly recommend - it’s mainly takeaway as there are no tables inside but you can sit outside when the weather is nice. Great to support a lovely small business

Beautiful honey and almond cake, fresh out of oven, very yummy.
Friendly service, good prices.

A lovely little cafe with great coffee! We shared 2 cakes which were delicious! Love that they have different flavour cakes as opposed to the usual sponge cakes!! Dog friendly and the owner was friendly and welcoming!!

Great coffee, tasty cake.
Classic Victoria Sponge hit the spot on a rainy town trip.
Nice girl serving, friendly and professional.

Lovely cafe, great service and great coffee! They also have a lovely spot to sit outside on a sunny day and lots of different options for cakes

Wonderful place. Very warm and welcoming owner who was great to chat to. Fabulous coffee and amazing home baked cakes. Definitely a place to return to. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Fantastic small cafe, seating inside and out. Very dog friendly. Amazing selection of milkshake flavours, extensive and unusual. Also, full range of coffees, tea and juices. Lovely range of cake including unusual ones such as lavender and lemon, ginger, lemon drizzle, Bakewell, Victoria sponge and fruit.

Absolutely lovley cafe! Owner judy is so welcoming and friendly! Loved our trip to alnwick thanks to this place!

What can I say, friendly jolly service, wide range of milkshakes and in my opinion the best coffee in Alnwick. The cakes are really fresh homemade and moist, with exciting flavours. It's a must if you're in Alnwick and fancy cake and coffee.

Super little café and gift shop with amazing range of milkshakes including about a dozen vegan ones and nice cakes (always one vegan). Friendly and welcoming owner. Tables and seating outside on pedestrianised street. Wide range of charming and interesting gifts. Highly recommended if you are in Alnwick.

Drinking a cup right now and it is the best latte I have had! Absolutely delicious. The foam is perfect. Wonderful little shop.

By far it is the best cafe in town with the best cakes! a varied menu with scrumptious cakes and a wide selection of drinks, including chocolate bar milkshakes! Always a lovely and warm service, simply love this place.

What a lovely unusual cafe the jasmine tea was lovely my husband had one of the homemade cakes which he said tasted like heaven. I'm gluten free so enjoyed a gluten free biscuit. Wonderful origami pieces of art around the walls .

Always welcoming, great coffee and cakes. A real community shop .

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to the staff at the Origami Cafe who made our visit to Alnwick so very special. The cakes were absolutely amazing and the milkshakes were off the scale delicious but most of all was the care and attention brought to us by the person who served us our food. How gentle and sweet and kind this person was and so attentive to our needs, as if nothing could be enough to them. It's so lovely when you go somewhere and get this level of service - absolutely above and beyond. As if this wasn't enough the Lady who owned the Cafe brought little hand made Origami birds out for each of my grandchildren and a little bag of white chocolate stars, which was so thoughtful of her. It was such a shame that we didn't get to say "Goodbye" and "Thank you" as the Cafe had become quite busy however I highly recommend you go there. It's pretty fab!

Lovely cake and drinks. Very friendly owner and nice atmosphere. We sat outside and the honey and almond cake was delicious!
