Hidden Gem

Nestled at the rear of our second floor, the cafe isn't visible from the main street. The sun shines here from dawn til dusk.

Take a Break

Mid-morning, brunch, afternoon, whenever it may be, we provide an oasis to enjoy a drink and some peace.

Forty Five is a unique concept, with outdoor seating soaking up sunshine all day long. Our tables vary in size, so that your party can feel comfortable and relaxed during your visit.

Find us on the second floor of Robinson's Department Store on Bondgate Within, Alnwick. We welcome customers through our main store entrance, follow signs up the stairs. Dogs are also welcome, although we ask that they are kept on leads and come straight through the shop.
