Kids loved it. The food was good. we were made very welcome, including our little dog x

Out for a walk & popped in & booked a table for Sunday lunch. Great service, pipping hot food & plenty of gravy. Lovely food at a reasonable price.

We recently visited Lickety Split Creamery & Juice Bar in Seaham with our children and had an absolutely wonderful time. From the moment we walked in, the staff stood out as incredibly friendly, courteous, and patient. They went above and beyond to make the experience special for our kids, helping them choose just the right combinations for their waffles and ice cream. Their genuine and helpful advice ensured we ordered exactly what suited our tastes, which truly enhanced the visit. The Food The quality of the food was excellent. The kids loved their waffles with ice cream, and the vanilla ice cream in particular was outstanding—rich, creamy, and full of flavor. Huge amount of choice in the sweet menu as you might expect, with some ice cream recipes I'd never seen before (and I've seen them all!) less so if you're after something savoury - that said, my wife’s hot dog was fantastic, with a sausage that was among the best we’ve ever had. It was well-cooked and came with tasty chips, two delicious onion rings, and a fresh garnish of rocket and tomato. Drinks The hot chocolate was another highlight—served with a delightful little cone of ice cream instead of the usual biscuit. This thoughtful touch elevated the experience and added to the charm of the visit. Even the soft drinks served in glass bottles, especially the diet coke, tasted superior to their canned counterparts. Ambience The shop itself was spotless, especially given how busy it is, which is always reassuring in a food establishment. The American diner / soda house aesthetic is very authentically done and genuinely adds to the experience. Couple of minor issues were the slightly narrow layout, which can make queueing a bit tricky and a little wear and tear hiding in a couple of places. Arguably it's a part of the charm and overall we’d rather see the prices kept in check than have significant changes, so it’s a fair trade-off. Overall Impression Lickety Split Creamery & Juice Bar is a unique gem in Seaham that adds so much character and charm to the area. It’s a fantastic, family-friendly spot that’s as much about the warm, welcoming atmosphere as it is about the high-quality food and drinks. It’s clear that this is a real asset to the community, and it would be sorely missed if it ever changed hands. If you’re in the area, don’t miss out on this exceptional little spot. Whether it’s for a sweet treat, a quick bite, or simply a place to relax with the family, Lickety Split is sure to impress.

What an amazing place. Fabulous gluten free options including home made scones, cakes and soup. The staff were lovely and I can’t wait to visit again. Also the boutique was a nice find inside the cafe, with a gorgeous selection of women’s items - I just couldn’t resist a purchase.

Travelled to visit, the Cafe advertises its open until 3pm, the cafe put online they were there until 2:30 and when we got there just after 1:30pm it was padlocked and closed? Disappointing visit

Peri peri chicken was lovely and spicy. Good to have an peri peri option in the area. Communication could be better. Price and portion good.

Always an inviting friendly place. As ever this isn't a cheap cup of coffee but I use the rewards scheme so I get something back
