This iconic Art Deco style café was built in June 1930 by Whitley Bay & District Council, and was originally called Garden Restaurant. It was refurbished and renamed as the Rendezvous Café in 1957. This building is on the local heritage list for being a, "perfect example of a traditional seaside ice cream parlour". The opening lines of Julia Darling's poem, 'Rendezvous Café: Whitley Bay', “I would like us to meet/where the Horlicks is sweet/I could tell you my story/with a knickerbocker glory”, perfectly encapsulate the mood of this delightful ice cream parlour.
