    Quaint cafe on the Riverwalk. Serves good coffee, as well as yummy pastries and cakes (especially the carrot cake). Underrated for its quality and kind staff.

    Nice setting with good views of the castle if you sit outside. The coffee and service are good, although the prices are slightly higher than other local places. One star off due to masks still being required and the staff wearing them, which nowhere besides Starbucks still does. Although I wasn't challenged when I didn't.

    The coffee and the tuna melt sandwich were amazing. The view from the outside sitting area is great too ( in the pic). Definitely worth a visit if you need a break.

    Stopped off for a coffee on a stressful Saturday afternoon. Staff friendly, even helping me figure out which artists were playing on their Spotify playlist. Lovely cakes, nicest choc flapjack I can remember having, spot on coffee too 👍🏻

    Their caramelised onion panini was an absolute delight! I had it with an iced coffee and really enjoyed my brunch. The service was also good. I also noticed the toilets were well maintained which gets a huge thumbs up from me. I only wish that they had given me the option of having a small salad or coleslaw as a side, instead of crisps.

    Food and drinks were great quality, staff friendly and helpful. Only downside was the table was a bit sticky but the staff were straight over to wipe it down when asked. Would definitely visit again. Iced lattes were excellent 👍

    Nice feel to the place, coffee not that strong in flavour, my flat white was more like a latte

    Handy position is the centre of Durham (Milburngate Centre) with nice food and first-class coffee. There is seating inside as well as outside, staff are friendly and the service is quick.

    Visited for coffee, going to find a place to sit and read for a while. The barista asked me exactly how I wanted my coffee and it was a good coffee. I liked the poster artworks and the airy upstairs area. However, the table we sat at was quite sticky. Clean, but sticky, if that is a thing.

    The chocolate essence really came through in this hearty espresso. The great company heightened the flavour and the faux Christmas tree next to which my espresso was drunk bought out an earthy tone I havnt experienced before. However, the noisy atmosphere accompanied by the subtle aroma of the river really humbled my experience.

    What a joy, so unexpected. We walked across the bridge to see some outside seating and a coffee shop. Great coffee and panniers had with a view of the river, bridge and cathedral. Having good weather helps as well of course, but I'm not going to review that, not here anyway. We parked somewhere else and walked through the city centre.

    Great coffee and cake!

    Place is bigger than it looks from outside. Setting at the rear & also upstairs in addition to outside with view of the river Wear. I only wanted a latte which was good but nice selection.of cakes & paninins in the display cabinet. Staff friendly.

    It was very good really nice cafe and the staff are very polite and helpful especially of your disabled my self and my sister when we come to Durham often use this Cafe before we head home

    we asked for a strong pot of tea. It Arrived like lightly tinted water. Requested an extra teabag. They charged us 45p. My calculations would make a 600 pack of Yorkshire teabags costing £6.99 on EBay a mere £270. @bizR coffee house Durham. Shocker. Won’t be back.

    Nice staff nice and clean hot choc and coffee were spot on to say there were not alot of people there it took quite a long time to get served but well worth the wait could do with being a bit quicker making drinks when drinks were brought out they came one at a time where r the trays doubling the work load

    As an American from Arkansas in the UK, I'll admit it can be hard to find good iced coffee (which is how the majority of people drink it back home - people here seem to prefer it hot, which makes a lot of sense). Well...this place had INCREDIBLE iced coffee, as well as a large selection of hot coffees and smoothies and food. The atmosphere was absolutely perfect as well; lots of space, lots of seating, and great for both working and socializing. The service was incredibly quick and friendly, and the cake was to die for. I wish I'd found this earlier in my stay, because it definitely would have been an every day kind of stop for me.
