Among the cafés, bars and restaurants lining a bustling Teesside High Street is an independent spot bringing something a little different to the table.
Café Nossa, on Yarm High Street, is a Portuguese deli serving pastries, artisan cheeses and cured meats alongside coffee and a brunch menu inspired by Portugal and the wider Iberian region.

The breakfast menu options include toasted banana bread, scrambled eggs with spicy chorizo, berry waffles and poached eggs on toast, mixing familiar favourites with Portuguese flavours.
For those arriving later in the day, the all-day brunch menu features burgers, bagels, omelettes and flatbreads, alongside a tempting selection of sweet pastries, savoury croissants and cakes at the counter.

When The Northern Echo visited the café in August, the café was busy throughout, but staff provided friendly, welcoming service despite the steady stream of customers.
On a quieter morning in Yarm, café Nossa is the perfect place to pause, take in the High Street and watch the day go by.
Café Nossa is at 109 High Street, Yarm, and is open Tuesday to Sunday from 8am to 4pm.
