Everyday Cafe in County Durham

Been here before. We ordered 2 Pasties and 2 Coffees. The lady took our orders. The food was lovely. Coffee was lovely (nice and hot) The staff were very polite.,friendly, and helpful. Dogs are welcome too. We will be back again. Thank you.

Just purchased 2 ice creams today from the most rude, dismissive assistant I’ve come across in a very long time. No manners whatsoever, kept us waiting at the counter, didn’t even acknowledge us even though we were standing directly in front of her as she was cleaning the ice cream machine. Had my card in hand and met with a very abrupt “ cash only”. I could go on but won’t. Not my idea of customer service. Won’t be back!

Chips were amazing, goujons were ok, pees were great. Also had vinegar and salt on the table which was nice. Didn’t have to wait long, for the food to be made

The service and food, both quality and price was very good. Despite the cafe being busy, we were attended to without any great delay. It was worth waiting for.

Having been in the pub for a while, developed the munchies so we headed to the cafe to grab a snack for the walk back, upon entering we weren’t greeted & the lady behind the counter just continued to fill up the containers with sugar which I found rather rude, especially as there were another 2 customers behind us & tables to be cleared! That aside she did set them aside & asked for our order & it was worth waiting for, my latte was lovely & scorching hot, the sausage rolls were tasty & my friend stated it was the best cheese & onion pasty he’d ever had, as it was after 2.30 there was no hot food just drinks, bakery items, ice cream & a few tray bakes, initial impressions would not deter us from returning, very good value for money!

We called in here just for a coffee. But we decided to try their mince pies. They were very nuce. The lady who served us,asked if we needed any sauce. I said yes. Unfortunately she never come back. But not to worry the coffee and pies were good. Very clean and it has a 5 Star. So give this little coffee shop and try.

Been here quite a few times Always welcome and helpfull and nice food. But this last visit was a very different experience. Will not be returning.

Visited for breakfast after reading reviews. Wouldn't return. The lady taking the orders was very abrupt. I asked if I could have two hash browns to go with my bacon roll. I was told I could, and charged/paid accordingly. No hash browns came with the roll. I went to the counter to ask, and the lady who was cooking asked if she could help. I explained I had asked and paid for two hash browns. She said they were not on the order, but would put me one on to cook. A while later I was served one hash brown. Did not feel comfortable to say again, I asked/paid for two!! Also, not sure why the bacon rolls were served in plastic bowls and not plates.

After having great bacon rolls on our visit in April we were looking forward to returning yesterday for some more - again didn’t disappoint, well done bacon as requested and lovely soft rolls Keep it up ladies

The first time I went into his cafe the two women in there were friendly. The second time, however, there were two different women. The woman behind the counter had me, my partner and my elderly father waiting far too long. Even if she said, "sorry, I won't be long," it would have helped. Anyhow, after commenting on the extortionate price of pie and chips (a small Scotch pie and chips would have cost £5.95), with a cup of tea costing a further £2.50 (one single tea bag), it would have been a dear do for not much in return. All I said was "That's a bit pricy isn't it?" And she replied "Well, we have to make a profit you know," but in a very derisive manner. On that I quickly told the others we were going due to her frosty attitude. I told her I was only giving her my opinion, and she said, "well go somewhere else then!" I'd traveled 20 miles to Stanhope and shall never ever go near that place again!

Stayed overnight and was hunting out a bacon butty shop, Everday Cafe was open so had well done bacon rolls and capoacinos to go and they were Perfect 👍, the rolls were soft and held together fabulously, no shortage of bacon and nice hot drinks SPOT ON!!!! Thank you

I popped in there this morning as we were in the area , I saw the Breakfast and asked if they could swap the hash brown for tattie scone ( typical Scotsmen) which they were only too delighted to do . Not a long wait , I ate it in my truck and popped back in to tell them it was fabulous and to make my day even more great , an absolute princess of a young lady came in with an infectious smile , what a wonderful little cafe and I will most certainly go back for more . Mark from Glasgow.

Went here for breakfast with friends and our dog, Martha, who was offered a bowl of water as soon as we stepped through the door. Had al day breakfasts, asked for well done bacon, and everything arrived cooked exactly as we requested, along with a chopped up sausage in a tray for Martha. Food was lovely, and on leaving, Martha was given two more sausages which she had for her tea. Lovely clean premises, friendly staff and pleasant surroundings. Would definitely recommend.

We have used this cafe before (think new owners) This time we had 2 coffees and 2 cheese scones. The scones were HOME MADE and what a really taste scone. They even warm it. Would we go again YES. Good luck to New owners. 5 *****,

Excellent service, plenty of choice and incredible value for money. Will definately come again and recommend to others. Thoroughly enjoyable visit.

Get there early. Park in the market Square and soak up the atmosphere. Stroll across to the cafe. If it's not raining sit outside and enjoy the bustle of village life.

We couldn't get the grill to work in our holiday accommodation, so after a quick google search we discovered the Everyday Cafe, and we are SO glad we did!! Freshly cooked delicious food served by really friendly staff. Will happily recommend

I went for a Sunday lunch takeaway to the Everyday Cafe in Stanhope at Weardale today which advertised they were selling takeaway Sunday lunches from 12 till 3 I went at 12-45 they let me in and then they said they were sold outOnce the pub next door gets refurbished which is the Bonnie Moorhen I will go there I will not go back again as a lot of the locals in Stanhope were saying the same, you can’t sell a full Sunday lunch range in 45 minutes

We found this cafe walking through Stanhope as our usual cafe in the Durham Dales Centre was closed. The tea was excellent and the staff were friendly plus the toilet was spotless.

Called today for ice cream, server was very unpleasant, no please or thank you, ice cream was nice , probably won't go back.

the food is really good, although it is a little basic. the servers are always happy to help and kind. would definitely recommend, there are always plenty of seats and tables, this would be perfect for kids. you can also dine outside.

Called in for a delicious cup coffee when passing through the village, girls really friendly and chatty , will definitely call again 😊

This town needed a coffee shop! It’s a lovely local business, fast friendly service, good choice of cakes, coffees and plenty of savoury options too.

We have used this cafe for breakfast and lunch almost daily prior to the current owners taking over the business. We have always recommended it to everyone. However- Upon at least two previous visits we have found some management staff to be quite abrupt and not particularly welcoming- we have also observed a member of staff (owner) leaving the cafe to clean the toilet (in the adjoins alley way) wearing her her work attire - she returned from this duty - did not wash her hands or change her apron- and continued immediately to clean tables and serve food to customers. However, we thought today we would give the place another chance. A similar issue occurred regarding toilet maintenance- a breakfast meal was served cold - had to be returned and was simply microwaved to reheat it...another egg was placed on the plate but as the lady said-“I smashed it”. When ordering our food - I said “please” - my change was put into my hand with the assistant shouting at the girl in the kitchen - (a lady had waited so long for a breakfast- That she asked to take it away) not even a smile or polite “thank you” I guess it’s lucky that she managed to drop it into my hand! I just feel that this is so sad- a great spot for business- but when you look closely- management and customer care skills are greatly lacking and hygiene is of great concern

Husband and I went in for coffee and cream scones on a very wet Sunday afternoon. The fruit scones were huge, warm and full of cherries and sultanas. Staff were very welcoming. Excellent value for money.

Visited here late this afternoon as most other cafes were closed and not serving food. These ladies were very friendly and welcoming unlike the Dales cafe and the food was lovely. Would certainly recommend a visit 😊

Called in at 4.30 on Bank Holiday Monday, and the staff clearly couldn't wait to get home.Ordered a cheese scone and requested it be served cold and a fruit scone, both of which were sitting on the counter display, and tea for two. Tea came - two big pots (one would have been enough) and we waited and waited for the scones. About 10 mins later, they arrived. The waitress mumbled something about my scone being warm because it had been freshly made, but it had clearly been microwaved as it was not crisp. The butter was quite clearly margarine. We will not be back.

This cafe is a genuine little gem. Lovely staff. Often stop off here for a bite to eat. Highly recommended. Thanks

Me and my boyfriend come to this Cafe on the regular, we love the food here! The loaded fries are our favourite, we love the choice you have! Always a great portion and full of flavour. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

Called here today for lunch. Wasn’t impressed to be honest.Ordered burgers and chips and two kids meals. Burgers were dry, burnt and inedible. Nobody asked if the food was ok. If you’re after a greasy spoon type place then this is for you. Toilets are down a back alley full of scaffolding. Didn’t find the staff friendly or efficient. It’s clear the café makes money because of the bikers who get coffees etc

Staff got our order wrong.Ordered Fish and Chips (Cod goujons actually) came out with hot dog and fries!Staff said that was what we ordered as " that was what she wrote down!"Tried to make us take it!Reluctantly given money back when asked... it was actually slammed on the table so hard some of the coins fell on to the floor.No apology....clearly their motto is the customer is always wrong!Funny how 2 minutes later saw hot dog and fries served outside to a customer!Never mind found a lovely cafe nearby which was very friendly....food better too!Needless to say won't return.

Lovely village cafe catering to a wide variety of visitors. Always receive a friendly welcome. Nicely decorated interior. Menu is great value and the owners are not shy when it comes to portions. Breakfast is a must if you’re visiting. Delicious and great value!

We called in Boxing Day and ordered the special Liver and onions, aren’t we glad we did!! They chips were cooked to perfection and the liver just melted. We will be back !!

A must stop for any biker. Good coffee in a great location which is located on a popular bike road which can take you to west towards Hartside and the lakes, or south west towards Middleton-In-Teasdale and Yorkshire.

This is, as called, an everyday cafe but it is clean, friendly with good quality food. Ideal place for breakfast or lunch, or a quick coffee when in Stanhope.

Great friendly cafe that we only found because the Dales Centre was closed at 9.30. Decent cups of tea or coffee at a decent price. Food looked good but it was too early!

Excellent coffee.... friendly staff. We enjoyed the amusing comments on the walls. It was our first visit with our walking group but it won’t be the last

Lovely cafe. And fantastic food,service was excellent,would recommend ,my wife and I were staying at Heatherview Caravan Park ,stopped here for lunch and we both had the homemade soup,it was lovely

The everyday café continues to go from strength to strength. It has recently been taken over and the new owners are building on the hard work of the previous ones.

Visited several times on a recent Holiday at Heather View Caravan Park. Has changed owners but still a nice place to eat. Staff are very friendly and helpful. We loved the bacon buns, and scrambled eggs. Always served with a smile, and good value for money. Will be back in late October. Steve/Brenda

I visited this cafe a few times whilst down visiting family and the food is very tasty and great value for money, the staff are all welcoming and very good with children would highly recommend this place to anyone

Visited here on Tuesday afternoon with two excited 8 year old boys. The staff were very friendly, happily spoke to the children and made us feel welcome. I found the food lovely, reasonably priced and didn’t take long arrive. I would happily recommend and would visit again.

Trad food served well. What's not to like :) Also it's quick and good value. Great for cyclists walkers and dog lovers!

Wow, I had the best 99 I've had in ages here!

Visited this cafe shortly after it changed ownership. To be honest it was not as good as it had been BUT since then I’ve been back a couple of three times and things have returned to what it used to be. Good food, friendly service and reasonably priced. Pleanty of nearby parking and welcomes bikers.

From Australia went with 2 friends had the best sweet chicken chill wrap .The service was great and very clean.

Fantastic food good size portions reasonably price great service and very friendly staff, will definitely be back

I stopped here just for a coffee and was lucky enough to get a seat outside. This cafe is in an excellent spot to watch the world go by. The coffee was also very good.

Visited the Everyday Café a couple of times whilst on a recent holiday at Stanhope. There was seating both inside and outside on small tables. The food was very nice, and the staff very friendly. Try a pot of tea and a Bacon Bun. Very tasty, and at a fair price. Good place to meet for Bikers. They also serve ice cream, which is great on a hot day sat outside in the sun. Would definitely return on our next visit to the area.

We dropped in for our breakfast and ordered a full English. We were not disappointed, it tasted excellent and we were stuffed. The Tea was hot and tasty. Cafe also does offers of the day with pie and chips or other options. Good value for money would not hesitate to recommend or return myself.

This cafe located in Weardale is one of my favourites. Clean and simply decorated, it also has a few tables outside and its rare to have difficulty finding a seat..

Popped in for coffee but couldn't resist a fruit scone - packed with fruit and ab fab. Were told the cheese scone is even better. Service fast and friendly. Nothing to complain about. If in Stanhope or nearby definitely try this cafe. Not expensive too.

Great place to stop in the centre of the old village opposite the castle. Good range of food available, local knowable staff. Quick service with a smile. Great coffee and it chocolate.

Excellent service with a warm and welcoming smile. Good value for money menu with delicious homemade food.

Warm greeting, friendly staff, good food, inexpensive, great coffee inexpensive. Clean and tidy. What more can you ask for ?

This is a great little cafe which has the best latte in town. The fruit scones are amazing. The cooked food is excellent value with great chips. I’d love to see more vegetarian options including a veggie breakfast. Will definitely return.

We were delighted to find this café, not just because of the friendly welcome and atmosphere and good food - including an excellent veggie burger - but because the pub next door was not serving food, despite having a board outside advertising food 7 days a week. Yes, it was 27th December, but the can-do attitude of the café staff was rewarded with almost full tables, while the pub looked sad and empty.

Having been told by a friend to visit this place myself and Jason took a relaxing drive out, and it wasn't a disappointment at all value for money the staff were very friendly and polite. What made the difference to any other cafe it wasn't...

My wife and I decided to have a ride out this morning, after visiting Darlington to collect a part we...

We went into this cafe for morning coffee. The coffee was very hot and lovely. Whole place is very clean...

came here after having a bad time at Durham Dales Cafe. Completely different here. Friendly staff and fresh food

Sandra's homemade scones and chocolate cake are the best I've ever tasted and I've sampled quite a few in the...

The cake is absolutely delicious, very well priced and a generous serving! Very friendly staff would definitely recommend.

Café encantador y acogedor con un personal amable. ! Sin duda intentarlo, bollos eran enormes! ! ! La familia también.

Food is nice in here and reasonable priced, however it is small which is obviously not the cafe's fault! But....it gets busy with people just sitting about when people are actually wanting to eat. We went for out breakfast and couldn't get a seat the place was full of people 'just sitting' whilst I can appreciate people like to rest after eating it maybe a suggestion to see how long people are actually sitting for as it's loosing custom!

Halfway through a long cycle ride I was ready for lunch.Good selection of food, all very reasonably priced.Food was cooked to order and came very quickly, which was nice as I was on a tight schedule.Tasty meal and there are magazines and newspapers to read.

Biker ride out stop for Hot Chocolate with friends. Can't see this place has scored so high. Nothing special lacking any kind of nice feel to it. Would not stop me going again but there are better in the same street with nice outside garden seating away from the road rather than on a main road as this place is.

A brief stop for morning coffee, which turned out to be very good. There's not much space, but it's fine once you've found a seat.

I've been here before so when I was in Stanhope I decided to call in again. Was greeted by a friendly member of staff who served me. Good tasty food,freshly cooked and delicious. Nothing is to much trouble for the staff. Cafe is spotlessly clean. And very popular. Definitely recommend eating here

Popped in here on a walk out day not expecting much. However, was pleasantly surprised by it. Opted for pie and chips, was nice, came quickly and was good value for money. Only negative is it's quite small inside so there's not a lot of tables (but you can takeout) and there doesn't seem to be any toilets for customers. But we would go back.

Visited on the 18th on the way to the polar express. I picked this cafe after reading the reviews.Great food and prices. Lovely veggie breakfast.The owner very friendly with us and the children. Best mince pies I have ever had.

sandra,s chocolate cake mmm the best sofie and michelle always the very best host with a great big smile ,great food from the kitchen,and great service from the girls at the front.

Lovely food and lovely service the staff and owner are very welcoming. Absolutely spot on cant fault a thing. Nice quiet relaxing café not to over crowded noisy or busy just perfect! :)

Popped in from awaiting polar express.... lovely food and lovely staff... would recommend this place to anyone!! Will be sure to go back again if in the area

staff are very friendly and accommodating and make the tea as you want it and it is very good value for money always busy but the staff are still happy to help

Great value cafe. We like the burgers and chips. Really good service and welcoming. Lovely range of food for a family visit.

Travelling upto Hexham, we stopped off in Stanhope for breakfast.This cafe was open on Sunday morning. And was busy.We ordered breakfast, which was excellent, and coffee.Served by a lovely, friendly lady. Made very welcome on a cold November morning.Worth putting on our list of places worth a revisit.

Called in on our way back from a day touring the Wear/Tees Dales and we were even allowed to bring our small dog in. Great coffee and ice creams. Nothing fancy just good food served in a friendly, spotless and clean cafe. Loo is one of the highest standards ever. All certificates and procedures for hygiene etc clearly visible. Will be back.

Run by Ian Pattinson, TT rider, with many, many trophies to prove it! we had excellent coffee and just about the best scones ever. We thoughly recommend this cafe, assuming that you can squeeze past all the bike riders!

We were walking in Stanhope and decided to eat here after walking past.Nothing exciting but simple, tasty food for a great price. Delicious coffee!! Warm and friendly staff. Would recommend if you are looking for a simple lunch or cup of coffee.

We called in for coffee and also ordered a fruit scone.Without doubt this was the best scone we have ever had and as we are retired we we go out for coffee and scones mostdays so we know a good one when we get it.

Incredibly slow service, staff were more interested in serving the people waiting at the window for ice cream rather than the Wye waiting inside for food. When the food finally did arrive it wbad very poor and it was left. Wouldn't return, it's very simple.

Driving from the north called into Stanhope on a Sunday. Not a lot of action around but this cafe looked inviting. Bright and cheerful.Morning tea cheese scone would likely be the best ever.Coffee was excellent.Menu offered good selection for lunch.A welcome break.

First visit, very clean, good food and as mentioned chocolate cake baked by Sandra is the best we have ever tasted.

Came to Stanhope on one of our regular visits & had coffee and panninis here the food is lovely, the coffee is fab & the staff are very friendly definitely worth a visit. We'll be back again soon!

Friendly cafe with awesome scones not a bad hot chocolate. Very clean good service it was quick and they were very busy when we landed.

This is a lovely little cafe, very biker friendly. The staff are always helpful and cheery even when there is a sudden rush if customers.

Nice little cafe. Home made scones are good. But it's more of a pit stop en route....Food choice is very limited if you don't want butter or cheese. No go for veggies unless you eat cheese which is a pity.

We use this venue when having a ride out on our motorbikes. Always a friendly welcome and the coffee is very good. It is nice to sit outside and relax while keeping an eye on the bikes. If you visit Stanhope give them a go you will not be disappointed.

I was just out on a random drive around and felt peckish seeing as though it was getting to lunchtime. So I walked along the main street looking at places to eat and this cafe caught my eye. Popped in cafe was spotlessly clean,friendly staff and quire busy. I ordered the all day breakfast and coffee.I wasn't disappointed. It was lovely . Staff asked if everything was alright when they came over which it was. Definitely recommend a visit.

Called in for lunch last weekend when it was busy on a rare sunny day. Had a fine lunch with very pleasant service. Will be back.

We had a late tea after a long bike ride, but weren't at any time made to feel rushed despite it going over their closing time; instead the owner offered to store our bikes overnight.

Discovered this little gem whilst looking for shelter in the rain .We enjoyed lovely home made scones and one of the best Millionaire shortbread that I have ever tasted .All produce had been freshly made and the coffee and hot chocolate really hit the spot . We will certainly return at some time soon as the food was gorgeous and the staff very friendly.

Amazing find! 'Everyday Cafe'! at the bottom of Crawleyside Bank, Stanhope!! .... Fantastic coffee☕️ ... beautiful homemade scones and cakes - Friendly proprietors - Not to be missed!

Stopped by for lunch after riding over the tops from Hexham.Excellent café who are very cycle and motorcycle friendly.Tried the toasties and the cakes, both were excellent.Coped well despite being really busy !

A lovely atmosphere to enable a small group of women (me being one of them) to meet on a regular basis just to chill out and chat. The service is efficient and very friendly and the coffee and tea is spot on. Personally the hot chocolate is the best I have ever tasted in a cafe. The premises are lovely and warm too.

Friendly atmosphere and good food served quickly. A handy stopping off point for walking and cycling in Weardale.

Just had our works Xmas party in the cafe really good value for money and the homemade pies and chips were great.. It was a party of 7 and the food was served quick and was red hot, the staff are very friendly and getting the extra sweet potatoes and Brut was a really nice touch thank you we will be back

We met up with some relatives here and had an early lunch. Much to my husband's delight they do all day breakfasts and although he only had the breakfast bun he said it was one of the best bacon and mushroom buns he had ever had. All the food we had was good quality and freshly cooked. The staff were very friendly and the service was efficient. Although we didn't have any, the cakes looked home made and delicious. The room was cosy and clean, although if it had been in the tourist season instead of a cold Monday in December it might have been a little cramped. It was all excellent value for money.

I love tea but drink it all the time. I opted for a chai latte - I've had a few of these at other establishments and it is supposed to be quite a sweet tasting drink with a bit of a ting to it and has a distinctive smell and taste. This drink was foul and tasted very sour and quite vile. I'm wondering if it had been made with water as apposed to milk which could have affected the taste. An expensive drink with a bitter taste. I'll stick to tea at least I know what I'll be getting in future.
