Wonderful staff, good food, clean toilet. Gave us a sausage for our two dogs! We will definitely come back and sample some more goodies!😄😄

Lunchtime snack turned into full plate. Baked potato with cheese savoury and salad. Beautiful. Also corned beef slice and beans.once again plentyful. This was recommended by a local as we stopped for coffee during pandemic. Second visit Would I recommend Definitely. Use council car park across road in square as parking restricted to half hour.

Just finished excellent walk along Deerness Valley old railway line Durham to Crook- and ended up at good cafe...Cafe J’s in Crook. Happy little cafe with good serice and Cherie reception by team. Good grub and drinks and recommend fruit scones

Travelled up from Darlington for the market. Found this lovely café. Food cooked to order. Breakfast lovely and hot. Definitely coming back.

We needed a quick pick-me-up and popped in here. Nice, inexpensive but tasty food. I had a simple bacon english muffin sandwich and my husband had the ham and cheese on a ciabatta roll. Both of them were very nice. The ladies working were friendly. Good place to go for an inexpensive meal.

Really great food and super lovely people!! Been for breakfast a couple of times and also lunch. Prices competative!!

Nice well cooked breakfast at a good price . A good selection of cakes and a varied selection of hot and cold food

We called in to Cafe J's at 3:45 pm for a snack to tide us over till our evening meal the service was excellent and the snack toasted cheese and red onion rellish and side salad were perfect and were made fresh, and and all at a reasonable price, one point to note though the cafe winds down at 4 pm because they close at 5 but they do hot and cold drinks during this time. the 2 staff we very helpful and the cafe was spotlessly clean, well done Girls and thanks.

My friend and I had been shopping in Crook so before returning home to Weardale we thought we would pop into Cafe J’s for a quick snack. Well it was only tea and crumpets but it hit the spot as the tea was not weak like many cafes and was lovely tasting plus the crumpets were well done which suited my friend and I. Lovely and hot, served with plenty of butter. It’s the most friendly place and a great atmosphere.

We travel a forty mile round trip to visit Cafe Js and it always provides a great meal. All day breakfast, sandwiches and jacket potatoes amongst other things. I had tuna jacket potato and filter coffee. Simple food but plentiful and good quality. Cake, snacks and nice atmosphere. Papers available. Toilet clean, Cafe has been painted this year and the decor is fresh.

Fab bacon and sausage sandwich done exactly as I asked for it with we'll done bacon and fat cut off - proper little cafe with nice looking cakes and good selection. Worth a visit defo for a Saturday brunch

delicious breakfast, great prices, lovely and clean cafe and very friendly staff... always recommend to friends

Without doubt, here is where you will find the best sausage sandwich in the county. Along with this exceptional bun of tasty goodness you'll have a chat with some of the nicest people in Crook working here, very pleasant cafe that I regularly visit!

Popped in for breakfast....best bacon roll ever. Nice clean cafe good service and very nice people.....we will be back

Corned beef pie and tea. Fantastic value, home cooked food. Tea in a huge pot for two using Ringtons products.

Have been going for a number of years. Easy going banter between owner & customers with good food finished off with latte coffee

A lovely little cafe for eating in or out. Lovely staff, always have time for a chat. The tuna melt panini is just the best, I've tried a few and nothing has ever come close to these ones!!

Visitamos aquí regularmente cuando los amigos están en la ciudad. Este lugar nunca nos decepciona con muy buena comida a precios amable de bolsillo, servido por un personal alegre. La colección siempre cambiante teteras en la ventana es bastante la novedad.

Take out lunch of jacket potatoe with side salad €3.50Good size jacket potatoe with filling, small salad. If you want extra you have to pay.Depends who serves you and what mood they in

Absolutely lovely place to eat! Great home cooked food, I'm local and have visited here a few times and always enjoy!

Friendly and welcoming staff, great coffee and fresh food. Nice bacon sarnies and newspapers to read - what more does a person need?

Popped in for a cup of tea and a scone during a shopping expedition with mother. Nice to have the option of having the scone warmed. Cheese scone and cherry scone with butter and a nice brew. Scones made on the premises.

We were in Crook to drop our dogs off at the groomers and hadn't had breakfast when we spotted Cafe J's. It looked busy and clean so we ordered 2 all day breakfasts. Sausage, bacon, egg, beans, mushrooms, toast and tea for 2 was served promptly and at £ 9.90 was excellent. Well done cafe j we will return

Had a all day breakfast. Very well cooked egg with white cooked and yolk still dippy for the bacon. Bacon crispy and beans really nice. The only small criticism was the toast came ready "buttered". Not sure butter was the right word. The tea was good and strong and newspapers available.Sells Ringtons products.

Found this little diamond of a Cafe by chance, but will be back when we next visit our relatives in crook. The service and food was superb.

Because the shop front is brown, it doesn't catch your eye really, so I'd lived in Crook a while before I went in, but it would always be my first choice for lunch now. I've taken friends and family in, who also really enjoyed themselves. Jacket potatoes, toasties and sandwiches have generous fillings and are so reasonably priced. The cafe has a high chair and really clean facilities, so I feel confident taking my baby in there, plus the staff always make a fuss of her which is lovely. All the staff at Cafe J's are super friendly, and the toilet (although unisex) is always clean and well-maintained. Proper portions, great homemade cakes & slices, and a lovely latte. My favourite place for lunch in the area.

Dropped into cafe Js on Tuesday for a spot of lunch and I was not disappointed I ordered a Tuna melt and pot of tea .The food is made to order so it was hot when it came and delicious and a very good size ciabatta with fresh side salad . Pot of tea holds 2 cups.A very friendly and warm atmosphere .

Stumbled across this cafe in Crook when my girlfriend and I had been walking in Witton le Wear had the full breakfast with loose leaf tea. This is a lovely cafe opposite the car park in Crook co Durham the staff are great as is the food you get a real welcome we loved our visit on Saturday 21 Feb 2015

We called in for a coffee and scone.The coffee and tea were good and served very hot.We tried their Cherry Scones which were delicious and very fresh. Some of the best we have ever tasted.Will be back next time we are in Crook.

I plan to make this my regular haunt whenever I visit Crook, It's small but that can have the effect of making it feel more homely. The staff are always happy to help whenever I go in with my friend and always help me find somewhere to sit where there is also room for my guide dog. The food is always freshly prepared to my liking and reasonably priced and there is a wide selection to choose from.

After a rather wet walk with our dog in Bishop Auckland, we baulked at the idea of paying £1 to park there to search for a café & were lucky to drive back via Crook and find Café J's. Warm & welcoming with a great choice of hot & cold sandwiches, jacket potatoes with a choice of fillings, pies, cakes, afternoon & cream teas, all home made & served with a smile. Free parking too!
