DH9 Cafe in County Durham

Perfect bacon roll, absolutely delicious cakes and scrumptious milkshake. I’m going to get sooo fat 😬

Perfect bacon bun. Gorgeous cakes, good milkshake. I’ve eaten far too much, wake me up next week 😬

2 things the bacon was a bit over cooked but that’s each to thier own and the ham cheddar panini didn’t come with salad altho the picture states salad ?? Other than that the food was nice

The chicken wasn’t real chicken, it was awful reconstituted chicken which tastes horrible. The milkshake did not have a straw plus it had not been mixed, the strawberry syrup was at the bottom of the container. The pastry on the cakes was soggy and the strawberry tart was mostly cream. All in all not a very good experience

I have 3 more cakes to try but they deserve full marks just for the brownie

Very lovely cafe in centre of Stanley. Few eating in tables, also tables outside.Handy location if visiting local attractions like Beamish Museum, Tanfield Railway or just popping out local for a bite to eat. They sell foods like Jackets, salads, paninis, hot and cold drinks or a nice cake from their large selection. They also have lovely pies and pastries. Greeted with a friendly service. Beautiful hot drinks. Enjoyed my Latte, have to say, it was up there for a favorite place for a hot drink, large selection and lovely and hot.

My review for the cafe is five star the food etc was amazing! But the just eat driver left my drinks at the cafe on the counter which is no one’s fault but his own I kindly asked him if he would go back for them and he said yes I’d been waiting an hour and the cafe confirmed he didn’t go back for them for me. After I had tipped him the maximum amount too and he couldn’t even be bothered to rectify his own mistake and do his own job.

food was lovely but by the time driver got to pick up food and deliver it, my jacket potato was luke warm, but ither than that, everything was lovely x

Went to get passport not as simple as I thought as I had lost mine. The lady took me through everything keeping my anxiety down as I was starting to panic. She was so lovely. I now have everything I need to get a replacement passport.

Beautiful wide range of home made food, you can eat in or take out. Very small area for eating only, just a few tables and chairs in. Friendly staff great range of savoury & sweet food items, reasonable prices.

Don’t know what happened today but it wasn’t its normal self bacon rock hard ruined 2 meals jacket potato was slightly hard today as well I’m hoping it’s just a one off

Jacket potato and salad was absolutely lovely!! Thanks

First time ordering from here fancied something different for a change and the food from here is amazing fresh and very tasty I definitely recommend this to anyone so good will be ordering again sometime soon delicious food

Again lovely bacon cooked beautifully totally wounded couldn’t get a jacket potato tho but what I did order was lush 100 plus stars all round thank you

gr8 service gr8 food chocolate milkshake amazing😋

Absolutely lovely the food and the Mocha is out of this world 🥰🥰🥰

Great cafe however the problem why can't visit again is one and half hour silly parking times we received £100 fine for being 20 minutes over our time so sadly won't be visiting Stanley again

Food was lovely and the delivery woman was very kind.

Hard to find home made stuff these days but my first time from here certainly won’t be my last .. jackets are cooked beautiful only thing for me personally is no option for onions … but I will definitely be back

Second time ordering from here and again like the first no complaints at all. Panini and coleslaw delicious and my son enjoyed the corned beef pie. Definitely not the last time ordering here!

Food was nice and good quality. Driver very friendly.

Been here a few time and Cakes have been stale a number of times. Asked for some squirty cream with mine and the cream tasted like it had gone off. Definite concern if they are serving expired food. Staff are also generally very unfriendly and rude. I've went in once and nobody was there. I will not be going back.

Delivery was on time the courier had mixed up the order but DH9 were amazing

Brilliant service and such a lovely little cafe.

Sent the wrong size drinks 😬 school boy stuff really

Was decent. They followed extra instructions also. Will deffo order again for sure

Friendly delivery Food amazing!

My first time ordering here and it certainly will not be the last! Panini’s absolutely lovely. Corned beef pie my son thoroughly enjoyed it and as they were out of brownies they replaced it with a fudge cake and left a note on the box. As for the milkshake you can taste it’s made from fresh fruit. I will be making my way through the menu! Stunning food.

Great cafe. hard to get a seat as its popular. Seems a bit pricey but I dont mind because they're always really nice and independent. I always call in when I'm in Stanley.

Amazing cakes and paninis. My son felt thoroughly spoilt by the staff and loved his brownie.

Ordered the breakfast panini. Asked if they could cook the bacon well as I don’t like the fat. Clearly didn’t read the message or just didn’t care as it didn’t even look like the bacon had been cooked. Cheese hadn’t melted. Couldn’t bring myself to eat it.

Excellent food! Incredibly tasty thank you

Best corned beef pie ever, thank you. I wish you did salad boxes as well xx 🥰

Absolutely beautiful food. Everything was delicious and the chocolate brownie is to die for. All in all it’s a fantastic cafe with great food and worth every penny.

Lovely hearty food, banana milkshake made with real fruit, jacket potato was cooked well and lovely side salad. Peach Melba was the size of my fist! Will definitely order from here again.

1st visit for me,we had lemon meringue cheesecake, wow the best I have tried in a long time,great service and reasonable prices.

Corned beef pie is the best I've had in a long time. I'm slowly going through the menu. Lush food 👍👍☺️

Lovely little cafe with delicious cakes and coffee. Sandwiches were good too, brilliant service from the girls serving. Coffee and cake for £4.50 brilliant value, yummy too, will be back!

breakfast panini consisted of a tiny bit egg and a little bit bacon, usually has sausage in, waste of money!

Absolutely lovely fresh food and perfect portion size. The chicken pesto was to die for, even the little dude salad had a lovely dressing on, bairn loved their cheese savoury. Thank you 😊😊💜

Nice little cafe, with a nice selection of big cakes and nice coffee!

Amazing food, great coffee. Nice staff and friendly environment. Love coming here every week.

Absolutely amazing. Everything is fresh, and you can tell they put everything into what they make - as soon as I opened my food you can smell how fresh it is, especially the cake. Will order again, thank you so much

Excellent food! So tasty and very generous portions. The Peach Melba was enormous, the sausage sarnie was top notch & the service was faultless, especially considering the snow that's fallen. Absolutely brilliant, looking forward to ordering again in the near future.

I highly recommend here if you haven't been what you waiting for! You won't be disappointed. Absolutely amazing food, staff are very helpful, friendly and lovely.

DH9 cafe is a lovely little spot with treats galore. Super warm, with a 45-minute limit on how long customers can sit it (meaning you’ll always be able to snag a seat!) and lots of outdoor seating. They also had soya milk which is great for someone lactose intolerant like me! Staff were friendly and there was some nice music playing with a mixture of festive and pop tunes.

Wonderful coffee wonderful cake and pastry selection

got a peach melba and a chocolate éclair and they where both off. they tasted very bitter. tow weeks before I bourght my mam a slice of cheese cake and she has since told me that was also off. I was shocked as they looked fab.

Lovely food And the cakes are out of this world

Nice little tearoom I had large cappuccino and cake this morning Stanley 👍☕🥧

Very lovely food and friendly staff

Pleasant little place only fault is people buying a drink and staying there for hrs.

Decent prices for excellent cakes and coffee.

Excellent service and excellent food

Very reasonable prices and were able to accommodate father-in-law's wheelchair easily for a small cafe.

Delicious cakes, staf always friendly and polite.

Excellent range of quality cakes and quiches. Only had to take away will have to sit and have a coffee when I have more time.

My local best friendliest cafe in stanley.my dogs always welcome.food all homemade.lovely menu for drinks.staff the best.

Lovely savory and sweet treats at good prices.

Up here for a family wedding staying at Hotel52. Decided to walk into town and came across this gem of a coffeehouse, nice coffee and huge homemade cakes which you can see being freshly made. I had a cherry scone which was warmed in the oven and served with jam and butter, very very nice indeed. If you are up here then this is well worth a visit 👍

First time trying this little gem of a place today and I'll definitely be back. Bought a box of cakes to take away and everyone commented on how delicious they were. Go hungry because the portions are huge! Lovely helpful staff too.

The food is to die for. Wonderful staff with a great atmosphere. Spotless, definitely recommend.

I bought a piece of cake costing £3, when i got home it was stale, so i took back the next day!! She literally screamed at me , and said how dare i bring it back. and she just kept on screaming at me, i left the cake on the counter. so that's £3 down the drain i am a disabled lady in my 60's i was so embarrassed. will never return. Horrid staff.

My wife and myself went into Dh9 cafe today to purchase some scones & cakes for my parents. While we were there, we decided to choose cakes for ourselves. My wife seemed satisfied with her choice, however, my Apple Turnover, had a lot of cream, but not much apple. For the price charged, I won't be rushing to get another (9/8/2021).

Just popped in for a cuppa ,had a pork pie ,best I have tasted anywhere , took one home, the corned beef pie looks amazing,and all the cakes were amazing too ,the coffee and tea was fantastic as was the service I live in hebburn but will definitely be back,the staff are friendly and the place is spotless must try if you are visiting Stanley ,

I had a really tasty bacon bap and a cup of tea, my partner had a sausage bap which he said was delicious and a cup of tea. The cafe was really clean and the staff were very friendly. The bill came to £7 for both of us total bargain. I will visit again to try the scrumptious looking cakes.

What a hidden treat this place is!! My mate and I called in last week for a quick coffee and bite to eat - polite and friendly staff with a quick and efficient service - I ordered a large latte and a sausage and egg breakfast bun. A very generous portion size was a delight for me, quality products too which I could tell by the quality of the sausage meat, coked to perfection too!!. My mate ordered the same and was equally as impressed. A surprisingly cheap price too - for what we paid as well it was 100% value for money. Well worth a visit and we will be calling back for sure. Keep the good work!!

Beautiful place, lovely cakes, would definitely recommend, will certainly return next time I’m in the area

Coffee and a cake for £3.50 whats not to like?! Both coffee and cake were beautiful and the staff were lovely 👌

They have a amazing range of choices, fantastic atmosphere and customer service! Best coffee i have had in a long time! Dog friendly that’s suits me perfectly for when I finish a walk with the dog! Cream cakes are to die for best value for money! 10/10 recommend!

I often go to DH9 Cafe in Stanley for many reasons that go beyond eating their delicious, hand-made cakes and drinking their coffee. It’s a social hub of the North East, where people from all walks of life have the opportunity to connect. I’ve met so many different people and heard so many stories. It’s a place that turns strangers into familiar faces. Although I don’t get to go as often anymore, every time I’m greeted as if I’d only been gone five minutes with the warmth of a smile and steaming latte. I absolutely cannot fault the place, the staff are great, the food is great and the atmosphere is even better. Just can’t wait to be back!

Would just like to thank you so much for our afternoon teas they were really beautiful very fresh and tasty. The staff are lovely can't do enough for you well worth a visit to sample all there homemade cakes bread pies ect fantastic xx

We visit this little gem every time we are in Stanley and will be back again! I personally love the homemade specials and pies. If you have a sweet tooth or like a treat they have plenty of sweet choices so it's nice to have a little treat. The girls that have served us always have a smile on their face which makes it an enjoyable experience.

Amazing cakes best in the north east... only topped by the friendliness of the staff. A must visit if you are in the area.

What a find ! Great cafe, friendly staff, fab coffee & cream cakes.... Ordered 75 cream cakes for a treat for my staff, hand delivered & boy they went down well !!! Will definitely repeat & would recommend

Such a lovely friendly cafe with amazing cakes and food. Staff are welcoming and helpful Well worth a visit.

Cute cosy café! Friendly and welcoming staff! Decent variation of cakes and pastries! Milk alternatives for any vegans out there x

Me n my friend picked up a couple of ‘fresh’ cakes n they were still frozen. Would go Iceland if I wanted a frozen one. Ended up in bin

Amazing cakes, coffee, pastries and paninis. Love the rainbow cake, cheesecakes and cream cakes. Lovely service, a real gem!

Love the cakes from here ... me and my mam love stopping for coffee and cake 😊😊 cakes are massive and sooooo tasty 😋 can’t wait till it’s back open

We go all the time. Definitely recommend. Toastie/paninis are great, homemade cakes are amazing and we ordered some pies for Xmas which were gorgeous.

Ordered 2 afternoon teas for Christmas Eve for collection, lovely friendly staff & the food didn’t make it until the next day, very very tasty & great selection.

Super friendly staff. All the cakes an pastries look and taste great and I love the quiche. Most importantly though, as the title says, the best coffee in Stanley.

Friendly staff and lovely selection of food.

I've visited this cafe a few times now and have not been disappointed. They sell a variety of cakes, breads and icecream as well as toastie and paninies. The covid measures are being adheared too so all good. Can't fault and would highly recommend.

Great coffee and food at a reasonable price.

A lovely friendly cafe, full of regulars and dogs welcome. A homely environment. A good menu with specials breakfast deals, e.g. bacon or sausage sandwich with Americano/tea and £3 selected cake and coffee deal. Selection of pies, quiches, panini etc. Very pleasant staff.

Best cheesecake ever, great choice, lovely quiche and good coffee

5 fab place love it it's so cosy and we'll coming

Best bacon sandwich in Stanley, coffee and cakes good too. Staff awesome

Had a lovely sausage buttie and coffee , great value .

What a lush little gem of a find, excellent home cooked fresh food at great prices along with a warm and friendly welcoming atmosphere

A great little out of the way place in Stanley last visit was a few weeks back and as always the food was delightful. Everything always looks so delicious. The place itself is clean and tidy throughout and the staff are exemplary. The prices are fair and servings ample. Nice place to stop for a cup of tea though the place is a bit small.

I came across this oasis of a place quite by accident. Had a fab soya latte and scrummy key lime pie slice. Above the quality of the food that is excellent value for money were the exceptional staff who are clearly passionate about providing excellent customer service. Well done ladies. In the words of Arnie "i'll be back".
