Black Truffle Coffee Shop in County Durham

Lovely meal once again staff excellent service second to none

Excellent cafe and the little womens clothes are bit in back. My fiancée loves homemade food, which is beautiful. Terry&Anne

Nice little café, serving mainly light meals. We had the Seaside Sandwiches, (but this came with a rather unpleasant dressing on the salad), and the Soup / Bread + Warm Cheese & Bacon Scone, (but we had to ask for the bread), which was not delivered with the meal, hence the lower rating.

Friendly staff and if you enjoy your coffee extra hot just ask and they will do it

Gorgeous freshly made Cheesecake, excellent coffee and a lovely Boutique!

Personally would enter the place when a small town like Seaham is or should I say was a very welcoming friend family like town, to see a sing saying loo for customers only disgusted me and I know many many more that avoid this because of that, if I went in to use loo I’d be able to see what’s on offer what clothing bags they sell and next time I’d probably go in and buy stuff I’d even grab a coffee after my loo visit, the armoury how ever they allow any one to use loo as there kind local Seaham friendly people unfortunately this place isn’t like that, in fact the state of the signs says it all and especially on windy days when there all over the street or smashed into peoples cars not great in a small town

Nice coffee shop. Great service.. Cakes are spot on. All hand made

Good coffee and cakes but the panini was absurdly small for ~£8 Edit: The owner says I forgot to mention the rest of the meal. The rest of the meal was a handful of crisps and some lettuce, doesn't make up for the (half) panini only being about 4 bites of food.

Beautiful food, friendly and speedy service. Lovely decor.

Very friendly and good service. Coffee and scones were delicious. Well worth a visit.

Lovely food and staff, it was a bit quiet but it was late in the day

Really nice coffee shop Would recommend

Lovely place, for a relaxing bite to eat. Staff are really nice too

We enjoyed a lovely cup of coffee in calm clean and welcoming environment. The team are a credit to the business and we will definitely be back.

Went in at half three to be met with sorry take away only as we are really busy. Empty tables and chairs, staff never even asked what I wanted. First and last visit.

Went for a nice brisk walk along the front with my cousin who lives in Seaham. Beautiful cake and coffee to get cosy before carrying on with our walk. Hope to visit again next time we're in town??

Gorgeous little place, great service and excellent selection of sumptuous cakes.

Our venue every Wednesday as it’s handy & excellent value for money

Excellent stop for good coffee + tea, tasty homemade food all tasting great. Added bonus of a bit of retail therapy with classy beautiful items to browse. Enjoy your visit. We did.

Staff very good and service was great.

Cheese acone with caramelised onion chutney. Followed by lemon and pistachio cake.Delicious.

The service I experienced wasn’t the best. Coffee was good but didn’t try the food

Nice little independent coffee shop. Cosy, great service, nice coffee, decent food. Happy to call in again.

Great little cafe with friendly staff and fantastic food. Well worth a visit if you're in the area and hungry.

Great little coffee shop with boutique at the back.Delicious food

First time visit today and just stopped in for coffee and cake. Lovely little coffee shop, very friendly staff, good coffee and delicious chocolate orange cake. I did mean to take a photo of the cake but I was a little bit late, maybe next time.

During a walk along the seafront, it was just what we wanted to come across this serene stopping place for a bit of refreshment. Sofa was comfy and relaxing. And to add to the distraction there was a boutique tucked away inside.

Torn between sweet or savoury, going back to clear up! Service great, staff pleasant and quick. The shop looked stunning, but as an 80 year old grandad, that might not be a valued opinion.

This was a lovely cafe on first visit, however on our second visit when we were unfortunate to meet the owner, it’s left a very poor taste. My friend and I were speaking about the different payment process, being required to pay upon receipt of each item purchased, as opposed to at the end, as previously. The owner approached and asked if there was a problem We suggested it may be nicer if payment was at the end of the service, she responded, ‘do you pay like that at Starbucks’ well Starbucks isn’t table service, and the last time I used Starbucks, they were at least polite. The customer service of this lady leaves a lot to be desired. The other staff were pleasant. Will not be returning. There are plenty of nice cafe’s in Seaham without rude and inconsiderate owners.

A great place for coffee and cake

Always good food and service in black Truffle and a visit into the clothes shop out the back is definitely a necessity.

Popped in for a drink (hot chocolate)out of the rain .The staff were pleasant service good . ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️

Lovely cafe, best flat white I've had, and the homemade sausage and black pudding rolls are definitely different in a good way.

We stopped at the black truffle for a spot of lunch, we was served by a lovely young lady. food arrived fast and was very tasty. Highly recommended if you're coming to seaham

Friendly staff and food excellent Often call in for a coffee

Great stop off. Good cup of Yorkshire tea 😁 scone & cream👍

We popped in for light refreshments and the pot of tea was lovely, friends had special coffee's and tried scones and the shop had some great seaglass pictures the only 1 thing wasn't enough seating but takeaway possible.

Tremendous customer service, quick wait time and table service.

Very busy, seated on settee which had collapsed. Cappuchino very poor, weak no foam. Busy atmosphere but pleasant. Assistant very friendly and apologetic for wait.

Loverly small social cafe with great staff and snacks. Afternoon teas a must. Great coffees to.

Popped into this lovely little place today for the first time. Wish we’d tried it earlier. Lovely atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff, who couldn’t do enough for you. Good menu and delicious food. We had ginger and lemon cake which melted in the mouth, superb! And tuna melt panini….delicious 🤤. We’ll be back for sure. So pleased we found this little gem.

Our 1st visit to the Black Truffle Coffee Shop & we will be back. Had to wait to be served as it was so busy, but we were quite happy to sit & relax. We had Americano, earl grey tea, cheese & tomato panini - which we shared) so we could have carrot & pecan cake, coffee & walnut cake - All delicious. The staff were great & very friendly. Glad we stopped by.

Good light breakfast and lunch options.

Thought this would be a cute little cosy place to get a cuppa and cake whilst I worked. However the staff weren’t very friendly - a short lady with short blonde hair was very rude and cold towards me, the opposite of the warm reception I was expecting for a little place like this. The place itself is quite cute - sofas are comfy but the place is freezing - it’s 2 degrees outside and not much warmer on the inside. All in all very disappointed and won’t be back. Didn’t get to try the food but it looked nice from watching others orders however I didn’t get that far as on my own and didn’t feel comfortable staying in a place where I was spoken to so rudely. Watching and hovering over me as I worked and had a cuppa. Very strange.

Absolutely disgusting lady needs a lesson in hospitality we ordered 3 pieces of quiche 3 cups of coffee 29.80 so obviously we cancelled the quiche she said it was a meal with side salad and crisps that is not a meal our coffees were ready so we didn't mind next thing comes out of her mouth was I wouldn't waste cups make them sit down the country in a slump love you don't talk to people like that side salad crisps does not make a meal

The two stars are for the latte and coffee/walnut cake which were nice, took ages to come though and the place wasn’t even that busy… the young blonde lass that served us was lovely and very pleasant but the other members of staff were ignorant and stuck up, we where sat there and felt like we didn’t exist, not warm and welcoming at all, wouldn’t recommend this place.

Great service, great food. 5 star!

There was 4 of us we went for coffee and cake we had the carrot and pecan which was very dry and hard should have said something most have been days old, not a very friendly place thats the feeling i got in else you are in a click, not be going back wasn't worth £26.

Coffee here on Sunday , warm friendly atmosphere

Fabulous cafe food is excellent and desserts are great and they have woman's clothes boutique

Very nice. Just had coffee and scones but they were lovely. Will go again

Don't think about going here if any one in your party is disabled you will be made to feel you are in the way Yes you can get in but after that you will feel uncomfortable We took our 85y old Mum she uses a walker finds it to sit on low seat so we ask another table if we could take a spare chair for her to sit on it after ordering at the table and paying for it she was asked to change her seat to a small stool which was inappropriate for her we explained to the waitress of she went to get our drinks and food After it was served she came back and said that the manager said Mum had to give up the seat so Mum felt she had no option but to sit on her walker which took up more room the the chair When we spoke to the manager she said that the chair maybe need by another customer and as we were at one of the coffee table that was for 2 that the chair were for the table and the stool was for the coffee table,???

We called in for a cupa, the staff were lovely and friendly. I was offered a piece of cheesecake for free as it was too small to sell. I am on a diet and was devastated. I had to say no. We are 100% going back for cheesecake as it looked delicious 😋

Food was alright, bit expensive for what you got. £6.50 for a panini but had barely any chicken in and just a handful of crisps. Didn't try cakes but looked nice.

Getting anything vegan in Seaham is very difficult. They did have a milk alternative so I had a tea. My wife is vegetarian so she enjoyed a toastie and a cup of tea. I went to the counter and the waitress said they would come to our table. After ten minutes she eventually came to take our orders. It was so slow in there...

Beautiful, tasty bowl of butternut squash soup along with a very fresh and luxurious cheese scone... and a lovely coffee. Highly recommended 🙂

Delicious cake, very generous size

We had great savory scrambled eggs

Great place for lunch or just a quick snack or Great drinks the service is second to none.

Very good clean and tidy nice and warm cakes are very nice too

Great clothing department, delicious food, warm and friendly atmosphere.

Very pleasant cafe. Good food and very friendly staff.

We stopped off here for a spot of lunch after parking at Nose's Point and walking along Seaham seafront. The cafe is well decorated and feels fresh and new, making for a lovely spot to sit. The only downside is the lack of windows to look out for if you are on your own. We purchased two corned beef pie meals at a cost of 6.75 each, one flat white and one 7up. The corned beef pie was lovely but the accompanying side salad and crisps could have been better. A couple pieces of cucumber, one cherry tomato and iceberg lettuce was a bit disappointing. We paid about £18.50 in total.

Nice place to call in after a walk, top quality food ,and friendly service.

Nice home made food and comfortable surroundings.

A lovely little place with a ladies boutique in the back!The coffee was really good and the fruit scones were gorgeous!!

Went for coffee and cake it was lovely with friendly staff too

Bought 2 lovely dresses here for a day at the races lovely customer service & a nice cup of coffee thrown in

Lovely food and drinks .Staff very polite and helpful .

Good coffee. Pleasant cafe with a boutique in an adjacent room.

Great staff! Service spot on. One suggestion: the tuna panini I had had way too little tuna in...and far too little cheese. I scraped tuna off onto one part of the panini but it was still very little. Pity about that

Café and a Boutique, serving all manner of tastiness at reasonable prices, as well as selling Women’s clothes and accessories at equally reasonable costs, what a brilliant concept! Called in for lunch, corned beef pie served with crisps and salad, same for Denise’s quiche. Both were delicious, I even enjoyed the salad, lovely mustard dressing. Denise availed herself of the Boutique, purchasing a pair of trousers with which she is delighted. Brilliant concept, lovely food, friendly service, happy days!

A lovely place to enjoy a drink and snack. Tea is served in a traditional tea pot, and the cake was fresh. Speedy and efficient service

Just called in for a coffee and a cup of tea, great service very friendly staff and atmosphere.

Could have been better. Food dry and can't believe we were charged for extra pots of tea with our afternoon tea

Very nice and clean staff wonderful 👍👍

Best sausage roll I have ever eaten...and I've had a few. The family all had similar experiences

Lovely cafe and boutique, great service and relaxing atmosphere

Called for coffee and cheese scone. Highly recommended

Such friendly staff and my husband said their sausage roll was the best he'd ever tasted!!

Cute Cafe near the sea. Hands down the best cake I've ever had (soaked in ginger syrup with apricot and orange jam with clotted cream). A must stop! Staff also kind and helpful.

My friend and I pop in every Monday for coffee and home made scones, never disappoints!

Nice atmosphere, company seats & the staff were friendly. The home baked Quiches, Pie, Scones & Cakes looked delicious. We had already eaten lunch so we opted for a piece of coffee & walnut cake to share to have with our Latte's - The cake was delicious, so light. When we are back in the area we shall definitely be heading straight to the Black Truffle Coffee shop, a lovely place.

Fab little place. Pop in at least once a week. Lovely friendly and helpfull staff. Corned beef pie and lemon cheese cake are gorgeous.

Lovely coffee and a great selection of snacks and cakes. Scone was up there with the best.

Lovely relaxed experience with friendly staff.

Beautiful boutique and lovely staff. Definitely worth a visit.

Called in for a gourmet sausage roll and a tea. Excellent sausage roll made with pickle and sage and onion stuffing and the cakes look great.

Walked in for a coffee walked out with a fab summer dress

Walked past this place a few times and this time decided to go in, well worth it, lovely staff and the coffee and scones first class, definitely on the list to go back

Get coffees here most days when working on the seafront. Lovely coffee and friendly service.
