Citrone's in County Durham

A similar theme to a 1950s American Diner in the furniture Citrone’s has. A place where you can sit with your friends and family and bond over the week you’ve had over coffee and some good food. The place is full of life, you can feel it and see it when you walk in the door. The service is brilliant, everyone is welcoming and warm when you approach the counter. The food is the best I’ve had in a very long time and it’s a big reason I come back at least 3 times a month. All their food is cook to order and it doesn’t take long to cook either, it’s fresh and hot always when you pick it up. Which makes it one of the best places in Chester-Le-Street just for that reason alone; however the other reasons such as the ones mentioned above make it THE best place in area. Great food, great atmosphere and great overall experience. If you were interested in going here, do it. You won’t regret it.

Nice atmosphere, good. Choice of food. Clean and tidy

Great atmosphere and wonderful coffee.

Love the place, love the people, love the food.

Very friendly staff and best coffee on the street

Just popped in for some food. We ordered 2 hot beef sandwiches. They where absolutely delicious. Friendly staff. Thank you all.

Certainly has a 1950’s Diner vibe which is great and the place is clean and well maintained. CASH ONLY so after I’d walked down the street to Lloyds Bank ATM I went for the big breakfast. Good food, good friendly service, and a good atmosphere.

My wife and I go to Citrones almost every time that we go shopping in Chester le Street. Sometimes,we have a proper meal, but, this time it was just for a drink and a snack. The staff are very friendly. The place (as usual) was spotless. We even grabbed a couple of fruit scones with jam and cream on for when we got home.

Great 1st visit to beautiful Chester le Street. Googled local cafes and found this little beauty. Loved the layout food was cooked excellently and was value for money. Great strong cuppa 👍

Love this café 😍 been here for the longest time. There's no Chester le street without Citrone's Café 😄🇬🇧🇧🇬

The best coffee .just love the coffee.

Love this place I go often. Great food, very clean and great service

Lovely friendly atmosphere,great food always,great prices.

Fabulous family business. So friendly and Fabulous coffee

Lovely staff very welcoming excellent customer service food tasty coffee gorgeous 😍 😋

Love the coffee been a customer for years.

Food hot and went down a treat ,

Called in for a quick coffee and a slice of fruit cake. I asked for an Americano with cold milk separate, which is exactly what I got. 😋 The coffee was excellent, as was the fruit cake, which I think was a Dundee cake. The service was great and the atmos relaxed. We will make this our regular coffee stop when visiting Chester le Street.

Lovely cafe. Staff polite and friendly and tasty coffee. Food excellent quality

Amazing breakfast, clean and welcome environment. The lady that served us was so lovely, she cared about the food that comes out of her kitchen and you could taste it. The place is like going back in time in the best way possible. We just felt like home. A must visit place. Their menu have sweet and savory options.

Asked for full English... It came had no mushrooms, black pudding or hash browns ... £8.40 for half a breakfast

Lovely place loads of choice and very clean

Very friendly staff with a great selection of hot food and cakes. Thier milky coffee is the hottest in town! Toasted teacakes are a favourite of ours and to finish off the ice cream is the best! Plenty of seating available and tables always cleared away quickly. 👍

Lovely sandwich. Very friendly staff.

Always been the best in chester

Service is good unfortunately food wasn't as nice as my last visit seems as though they are using cheaper products, mash potatoes weren't proper potatoes veg frozen products unfortunately its a sign of the times with the costs of living

Coffee ☕ was fantastic, food was ok , sausages could do with a better meat content for the price , service was fast getting a seat was easy without a wait , would use again

Lovely place been going in this caffe four over 40t years

Never had a bad meal here. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food and the team is lovely.

The seats in the café are uncomfortable, but the coffee is good.

Lovely coffee nothing else like it in Chester le street. Simple menu with home cooked food. Very inexpensive and lots of seating with a large selection of cold drinks. Can't knock the place lovely staff and very friendly

Nice cafe. Doesn't look as big from the outside but a lot of American style booth seating in the back. Nice food and drinks at great prices. Even impressed my daughter which is no mean feat!

It's a nice place like a old fashioned diner coffee is lush and food is good staff are ok

busy clean and good food selection

Nice helping staff service is great and food great

A nice clean and tidy Italian cafe with plenty of seats and a good selection of foods and hot and cold drinks, a great place to go for a hot coffee and a slice of cake

Lovely hot coffee and toasted sandwich, friendly guy.

Great place, great value and friendly staff.

There isn't enough words to describe citrones. One of a kind and the only pace to make a strong latte that doesn't break the bank. Staff are amazing and always give you a little biscuit with any coffee (even when you opt for a takeaway!)

A cheap friendly and happy place to enjoy a nice meal.

Nice food ,great coffee ,and friendly staff what more do you need.

Had hot beef bun and chips it was delicious

Amazing cafe, an absolute classic with great food, the best coffee iv ever tasted and exceptionally friendly staff.

Friendly and convenient café. Recommended 👍

Good food and friendly staff only let down by no toilet facilities

I go to citrones for the coffee the coffee is lovely I could sit all day and drink their coffee the only thing I don't like about citrones is there is no toilet

Great stopped here for a lovely brekkie on trip back from Northumberland. Great service and lovely food proper breakfast. Cash only . Also had a piece of sly cake delicious

Milk shakes are superb and the coffee is a Chester-le-Street legend

Great little cafe with home cooked food at fantastic prices. Well worth a visit when your in the area.

Best coffee in Chester le street

Popped in for a cooler in the heat. My partner and I were made to feel very welcome, and respected. Their milkshakes and ice creams are out of this world. Also the retro booths are so cool too This IS the place to go!!

Great food and friendly. Could do better by installing toilets

Lovely food and friendly staff, pleasant seating area

Good quality food great service 👌👍

The best cafe in Chester le Street a love going there for my breakfast good size meal staff are brilliant. Top marks

Just called for a drink not expecting much and yet getting one of the nicest cups of coffee I've had for a long time from high street cafe. The person who served me was polite, easygoing and made sure that I got exactly what I had asked for. Hopefully if I pass this way again when restrictions are lifted I'll get chance to call in

Nice staff, excellent coffee. Could do with more room between tables.pity they are fixed.

Best place for coffee at Chester le street

Good little cafe with reasonable prices, I had a beef dip with chips and it was great to see it was proper beef and not sliced in the sandwich. I would definitely recommend this place.

Still a popular venue. I remember it from the 1960's with its Juke Box. Step inside love!

Amazing value for money. Coffee amazing and loved the bacon butties.

The atmosphere of this family run cafe is very warm. We stopped for a short snack before the bus was due, and the friendly staff were very welcoming and made us feel at home. We'll be going again whenever we're in the area.

Friendly family run cafe with very tasty affordable menu

Been coming here years used to love it but lately the food has been very poor and is the very cheapest of quality and they can't even cook chips still hard in the middle the gravy is still lumpy and cheap was absaloutely disappointed and I won't be going back

Fabulous place, great food, great staff, great prices. Highly recommended

Excellant full English Breakfast friendly staff will call again.

Best coffee in Chester-le-street and loads of meal and snack choices. Friendly staff and good value.

Proper food cooked well enjoyed it all 👍

I love citrones cafe great food and drinks

Small cafe that does a good selection of food and drinks. Pleasant staff. Reasonably priced with a drinks loyalty card that gets you a free cuppa after every 10 you buy. Good portion sizes on meals such as mince and dumplings, all day breakfast, hot beef sandwich, omelettes, to name a few.

Always very obliging. Good service, good meals

Been going there since I was a little girl. Absolutely love this place!
