Bakers + Baristas in County Durham

Staff friendly enough and the coffee was pretty decent. Bad points are the booming techno music, not exactly relaxing and couldnt wait to get out. Soft furnishings are hacky.

Quite busy with enough staff to cope with footfall, panini served with salad garnish, dressing and coleslaw was unreal just lacking salad, dressing and coleslaw for the price that is what i expected yet received a cut in half cold tuna panini. The price matches the area not the quality which should not be the case at all £23 for a plain toastie, plain panini, latte, tea and a bone dry muffin? Unfortunately im not impressed poor show on all accounts not value for money at all just jumping on the over price trend since its neighbouring shops are all designer well my panini wasnt designer thats for sure over priced and filthy.

Visit almost each week,the staff are always smiling and helpful and choice of food is always delicious..

Everything excellent but need to relook at the design of the teapots as they spill when pouring.

Good variety of baguettes, wraps, bagels baked potatoes with various fillings. Coffee was nice and strong too

Our go to place for coffee and cakes when we come to Dalton Park. Highly recommended.

It took ages to get a coffee & the seating area had no personality at all, just tables & chairs, not very homely just very sort of bland. Great muffins though.

Coffee nice and hot and the muffin delicious as usual. S'mores Frappe got top marks from my son

Muffins great service a bit slow

Great staff very friendly and helpful and always welcoming. Coffee was hot and great choices. Lots of sweet and savoury choices.

2nd visit in 3 days, friendly and polite staff with great service. Barry and the team deserve recognition.

Decent coffee at regular prices.

The coffee and sandwich that I had were both fine. Would come again.

Gentleman who served very pleasant chatty great service

Great food and coffee, staff very friendly

Didn't have any food but a nice hot cup of coffee.

We visited this place yesterday, I would like to commend the service of the gentleman who was working as the cashier. He was excellent, nothing was too much trouble. He was very customer focused and extremely helpful.

We visited recently for a coffee, cake and catch up. The atmosphere was very nice, the staff were accommodating and the coffee was good. The Lemon Pistachio cake was alright, the icing on top tasted amazing, however the cake was bland, tasteless, but seemed fresh. I'd definitely visit again.

Great service and scrummy muffins. Always worth stopping for a 'cuppa and a sticky bun'.

Fresh baked muffins every day. Good service and good prices.

Visited Thursday afternoon 1st Feb. Lovely place. Clean and warm! Excellent, hot coffee - even the husband enjoyed it! In fact he enjoyed it so much he bought some beans to take home! And he is hard to please! The caramelised biscuit cake (I think that's what it was called) was delicious. And the staff were so lovely and friendly!!! Thank you! Yes, I would recommend a visit!👍🏻

Nice cup of tea & cup of coffee. Cheese scone good.

It seems people who need gluten free breads can not have a sandwich lunch here. No gluten free sandwich options available here.

Food food good coffee & good cakes.

Called in for a drink and bite to eat, we weren't disappointed. Food was warmed up and brought to our table without having to wait too long. They need to get the dusters out, though, as the top of the seat back hadn't seen one for some time.

Pastry and food offerings quite good but expensive for what they are though coffees good.

Best gluten free muffins on the planet 😋

Visited at 12.00. There was a long queue which was dealt with only slowly. The food was good when it arrived.

Even better place to visit after refurbishment, excellent staff

Nice place to eat and a hot chocolate and a well needed sit down

Muffins were as good as ever but I don't like the new decor. The plastic chairs are cheap and tacky, the decor is already looking dirty. If the muffins weren't so good I would go elsewhere.

We had a hot chocolate and a latte ,very nice

Service was quick and lovely friendly staff. We had delicious spicy chicken baguettes which were toasted and a delicious fruit smoothie. I couldn't resist having a cinnamon muffin and cappuccino after my main which were delicious 😋 Set us up to do more shopping. Will certainly go again.

Cakes are awesome, and loads to choose from. Coffee is not bad too. I'd skip any breakfast food, Bacon or Sausage bun are so sad. I've been a few times and service always seems slow no matter how many people are in, taking 15 plus minutes to get served.

Very nice cafe at Dalton Park with a good selection of sandwiches and sweet food.

Lovely café. Very friendly staff

Have a variety of muffins available along with toasties, paninis, and different coffees or teas to. Recently changed the interior with furniture but no comfy chairs!! Outdoor seating avaliable, but the chairs uncomfortable as made from metal bars

Lovely fresh sandwiches and a great choice. Quick & efficient service and the place was very clean looking. Highly recommend

Pleasant if a bit clinical. Perfectly handy if you need a quick pick-me-up contemplating your next credit card bill after all that Dalton Patk retail therapy.

Dreadful and expensive £3.60 for a hot chocolate + £0.75 for cream + £0.75 for marshmallows!

We stood in a queue for 15 mins, 4 behind the counter but 1 inadequate person serving, making drinks and taking payment. We eventually got fed up and left, you'd think on their busiest day, Saturday, they'd be better prepared, more organised, but no. We were giving them another chance because last time we went, their usually exceptional muffins, raspberry and apple, were tasteless and had no raspberry and apple in them, we won't be going back, last weekends debacle was it for us.

Used to be really nice and really generous with the filling inside the baked treats, nowadays theyre generic with the muffins being very much basic like any old muffin. Definitely not bad just lost its flare and reason to go.

Unbelievably good muffins, I’m a podgy fella nowadays, largely due to cake, so when I say these lot know how to put a muffin together you should absolutely take that as the strongest of recommendations…. The pinacolada muffin was especially cracking!!!! Can’t recommend enough.

Bad tempered staff.asked if certain muffin was vegetarian said they had no idea.. vacuuming around us .disgusting smell from vac.asked ladies on next table to plug vac in for her .said wanted to be ready to close up.yet anly 5pmwe had to check on there website to see if muffin was suitable for vegetarian . Bad service

A nice cafe at Dalton Park that has outdoor seating, nice in the summer or you can sit inside

Friendly place, good cakes and coffee

Great place of a coffee nice staff

My fav cuppa call in! Lovely friendly staff and bonus of delicious gluten free muffins...hopefully gluten free samdwich options to follow

Nice coffee if a little expensive

Share a sandwich & muffin more than enough to fill you

Lovely tea and coffee. The muffins and the choice of are just about the best. Great service, very friendly and helpful staff. A favourite place for a break.

Only had drinks but very clean with friendly staff .

Lovely in there, but the music was a bit loud. It's nice to have soft music

Pleasant location. Reasonably priced, well set out, customers are not cramped.

The coffee I chose was an oat latte and member of staff said they couldn’t froth it because oat milk doesn’t froth !!!! No one else has said that to me and my oat lattes are frothed always, the toastie was very nice however the cost was ASTRONOMICAL £17* for two ham and cheese toastie a, 1 hot chocolate and 1 oat latte and 1 bag of crisps - absolutely shocking I thought I’d misheard. Went to wolsingham and had two lattes and a piece of cake and paid £8 even if we’d added two toastie it wouldn’t have cost us ££17 . Will not be frequenting BBS again - honestly there’s recovery and then there’s daylight robbery

Disgusting Went in for two coffee and two cheese scones and was told never had cheese scones for a long time and can't get them anywhere. Sat at table and drank what was a poor excuse for coffee The tables were dirty never been cleaned as was the floor under the table and don't get me started on the filthy dirty spoons don't think I will be back there.

Nice little coffee shop, food is okay and the coffee is good

Lovely latte , staff very nice and helpful

Pleasant enough for a snack and cuppa. Staff welcoming

Best muffins ever. Baked on site xx

Only serving take always but reopening 17th May

Nice clean, lovely products, can't wait to sit inside, will def go back. 👍

Good coffee and lovely food and excellent staff

I asked the young blond girl to please clean the messy seats,she had just cleaned the table top,she ignored me entirely and waddled away. Never returned Shocking slow motion careless person who clearly couldn't give a stuff. Paul Stubbs

Very quick service, good coffee, and the vegan raspberry and apple muffin had a lovely texture and was very tasty. There was a very relaxed atmosphere and, even though it was busy, it was easy to have a conversation with the people around me.

Lovely food and drink selection. Decor lovely and lovely atmosphere

They do the best iced teas. Lovely place

More like a canteen than a coffee shop

Nice place, good coffee and they do a child's size hot chocolate that seems very popular.

Nothing special, is what it says that it is!

Always a pleasant experience with great coffee and muffins.

Great coffee/muffins, comfortable & staff very friendly

Friendly service, clean and tidy, over-priced, small coffees.

Nice enough place with pleasant staff

Terrible . The minestrone soup was without any liquid . It was thicker than a stew and was only about 3 spoonfuls in a dish.The staff said that was what it was supposed to look like.very unfriendly and the place looked a mess there were no tables cleared to sit down anyway even if we had decided on something else to eat

Pleasant staff good service a clean place

Coffee and a muffin abit pricey

Enjoyed the food, & politeness of them for offering to do us scramble eggs on toast, Thank You xx

Always get good service at BB's and good tea and coffee.

Good coffee and nice muffins always worth a stop at

Nice friendly cafe food good nice coffee
