What an amazing place. Fabulous gluten free options including home made scones, cakes and soup. The staff were lovely and I can’t wait to visit again. Also the boutique was a nice find inside the cafe, with a gorgeous selection of women’s items - I just couldn’t resist a purchase.

have to say the cheese and spring onion or the cheese and leek scones are always so lovely , they are freshly made every morning and quite often are still warm from the oven - delicious .Coffee is good too !!!

I came in for coffee and cake, the cake selection looked lovely and the biscoff cheesecake that i had was light and creamy, my latte was perfect. Comfy seats, fast service and reasonable prices, I will be back.

Stopped off after a morning walk for a coffee. Nice Americano. No vegan options for eats and the breakfast baps had no vegetarian option hence my 3 star review. Cute little clothes and accessories shop in the rear, reasonable prices.

We stopped in Seaham last year and found this lovely boutique. Great, partner sat having a coffee whilst I shopped! Made a detour to stop again a few months ago and bought some lovely trousers. They were so comfy I rang and ordered 2 more colours when I got home. Great customer service and a good selection of clothes. Hope to visit again soon.

Start with the positive that my partners iced coffee was fine. Other than that was not greatly impressed. Americano didn’t taste of good coffee. Paninis were really average with poor filling and not well made. Served with a few crisps and a sad excuse for a salad. Just a little more care in the kitchen could have upgraded the servings substantially but it smacked of tired and lazy. There are much better options in Seaham for coffee and snacks. Will not be returning

We stopped here today and asked of our child could use the toilet as he was desperate. The lady at the shop was really rude and more or less chased us away. I never experienced such unkindness in this country. What is wrong in allowing a child of 6 to quickly use the facilities? Will definitely NOT come back here another time and strongly discourage families with children to take them inside this unfriendly place! learn your manners!

Visited here today for the first time and can definitely say it’s well worth the visit. A brilliantly made flatwhite and they even had oat milk Flatwhite was made to perfect even with some great lattee art to finish it off. Showing skill and perfection with the perfectly velvety appearance. Which passed the floating spoon test. This cafe is a beautiful little place, the customer service from every single member of staff we came into contact with with was brilliant. Added to a great homemade cornbeef pie. If your in Seaham make sure you visit here.

The Good = Seating, Music & Décor. The home made cakes also looked very nice. The Bad = We ordered a Coffee & a Mocha and although both were wonderfully hot when they arrived, they were both very weak/tasteless. Perhaps we should have complained at the time, but as we were both in desperate need of a hot drink we didn't. Needless to say, we didn't order another, and instead went to a diff café. The Ugly = The toilet is in what appears to have previously been a small shower room and is a single Female/Male set-up. It was not wonderfully lit but even in the dull lighting it was obvious it needed a very good clean. The toilet rim behind the toilet seat was covered in hair/dust/bits and the sink was only a little better. There was No staff cleaning rota/schedule in sight. If it's also used by staff then I'm even more shocked that its not monitored and kept clean for customers & staff hygiene.

My wife and I were on holiday from Suffolk and visited Seaham for the first time, came acoss this coffee shop and was impressed how clean and bright it was. My wife had a latte and teacake, I just had a hot chocolate. where ever I go to have a coffee, latte, or hot chocolate, I always like mine piping hot so I can sip and enjoy it over a length of time, this one was spot on. This one was one of the best I have had (failed to mention the excellent table service they provide) We were so impressed we went back for lunch about 2pm, we both had BBQ Chicken Pannis absolutley cooked to pefection and strawberry and almond cake (other pannis flavours & cakes available), and I had another hot chocolate. Staff and service was excellent, made us feel welcomed and valuable. Place was very clean & quick service. Definitley recommend.

Popped in today and loved it! The decor is fab, the music choice was great (ABBA Gold playing!!), lovely to see the staff cheery and singing along at times and all members were polite and professional. I ordered the Biscoff Cheesecake, when the waitress asked my partner again he said the Biscoff Slice so that disappointment was my partner's fault. Any way, that was short lived because the Biscoff Slice was AMAZING!!! The lattes were very good too! Three of us ate and drank and the price was very reasonable. We are hoping to return to Seaham again so we will definitely be returning.

Hi Been here many times and nice quaint cafe, really nice coffee however just my personal opinion but the cheese scones are really dry and quite tasteless. Compared to last years array of scones you use to do. .Have you changed cooks perhaps ? bring back the old scones if possible. Have to say your chicken salad however was delicious. Though please fix the loo door it doesn't lock properly, a guy walked in whilst my partner was in disarray....not good. Will be back

Oh dear! What has happened to the Black Truffle? Been here several times and we were always satisfied with food and service. Not today though. We decided to have Hot Beef Bap and salmon and cream cheese bagel. We were told there would be a half hour delay! The cafe was not full and most customers had already been served. So we changed order to fruit scones and tea. This took a while to arrive despite no one else waiting. The scones were dry - don’t think they had been made fresh today. A party of four tried to order sandwiches/quiches and on being told of half hour delay they decided to leave. Not good is it? With our change of order and four customers leaving that’s a fair bit money lost. More staff needed? Staff need training in getting food out more quickly? Very disappointing. We won’t return. Lots of places to eat in Seaham now. Maybe an off day but from reading other reviews I don’t think so.

Ordered the corn beef pie, but was disappointed when it arrived with a handful of salad and an egg-cup-size, ramekin of coleslaw, on an 8 inch oval side plate. This was £8.95, with a small flat-white coffee and a bottle of water. I thought this was quite expensive, considering the pie, (which looked lovely and deep), tasted more of potato, than corned beef. The vegetarian quiche (£3, without ‘salad’), was better, but not ideal, as it has been reheated in a microwave.They even charge for sauce in the small ramekins (25p), which I’ve never heard of in a cafe - yes, a chippy, but not a cafe...

Visited yesterday for a light Lunch after a walk on the nearby beach. Ordered Cheese Scones which where sold out, still that happens. Ok, then we will have two Cheese and Tomato Quiche and Salad with a Black Coffee and a Tea. Service was friendly and efficient. The Quiche looked very good but that was all, being tasteless and was served cold. The salad was miniscule (had they charged extra for the coleslaw ?). The pot of tea was only half full. Seating can only be described as cramped. Coffee was ok. Total bill of nearly £15 was not good value especially considering the quality of the food.

We have visited the cafe on a number of occasions, generally for tea or coffee, but today was only the second time we have had lunch there. As ever, it was a very enjoyable experience. The lunch menu is perhaps a bit limited, but everything is freshly cooked and delightfully tasty. A good policy adopted here is that the staff will tell you, if necessary, how long you may have to wait for food, which does away with any potential exasperation on the part of the customer and leads to a more relaxed atmosphere. The staff are efficient and helpful, working well within a fairly confined space. The cakes remain sadly irresistible! When we first came upon this cafe, we thought we had made a real find, and nothing has happened since to make us change our opinion.

After today's experience, it's update time. Always been very satisfied, but today - poor . What went wrong ?.Table uncleared from last customers, no problem (happens everywhere), but staff missed several opportunities to clear it, wandering aimlessly past us and seemingly without a care, and no sense of urgency. Ordered two lunches & drinks from the counter (£13.20 - OK). The assistant rang in the bill, I passed a £20 note but then she returned asking if I had anything smaller - took £20 back and handed her £15. Completely puzzled assistant then didn't know how much change was required; obvious isn't it.... £5 less than it would have been. With help from another assistant, they managed to work it out.The drinks came, set down among previously uncollected cutlery / crockery - YUK. "I'll get someone to clear the table" - Why don't you do it ? I thought....Girl came to clear the table - didn't know what was ours (despite it been untouched / unopened), but eventually worked it out. I couldn't avoid saying "this should have been done before the drinks were set down".... no response.Food :Tuna salad and Ploughmans lunch. Salad - half a can of tuna in a bowl of lettuce a couple of cherry tomatoes and a couple of slices of cucumber. Very poor.Ploughmans - Arrived without cheese, I pointed out - "I'll get you some" - arrived later, dumped on a side plate. Ham was pre-packed cheap processed stuff, edible, but not the quality I expected. COME ON - YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS !!

To top all that the lady who I presume was the owner was too busy selling clothes from the boutique to be supervising the staff who left a lot to be desired. Even worse was that a mobile nail person came in to do the lady's nails !! on one of the cafe' tables in the main room where we and others were eating/ drinking and had only a TEATOWEL to cover the table using chemicals (gel) and filing …..

We have tried a few times on a Sunday morning over the months to find a table, but have always been unlucky. But eventually a few weeks ago there was a table available. It was certainly worth the wait. The Black Truffle is a really nice place to pop in for a drink and a snack. Good selection to chose from and some very tempting cakes on display. The only thing I would say is that they do not have a lot of cold drinks to offer.

Anyway, that hurdle overcome, the piping hot lattes arrived with homemade cake which was tasty, but a little dry for our palates. Decor/ambiance was lovely, and my wife found the little boutique interesting, comfy chairs, and no urgency to move you on helped you enjoy the experience, the Bistrot branded coffee was lovely too, and I’d go back just for that!

I also went for the crunchie cheesecake which was nice but not really crunchie just chocolate and caramel. Staff were friendly and welcoming along with the place been clean and tidy. I would return if passing by again.

Stopped for a quick coffee and a bite to eat. Very surprised when we first went in. Pleasantly laid out, very clean. The staff were very helpful. The coffee very good. The prices were reasonable. There is also a small clothing boutique shop within.

My wife and I are fairly frequent visitors to the Black Truffle and you are always assured of a very warm welcome from all the staff. The menu offered is varied and the food is always freshly prepared. My wife and I are particularly fond of the scones which are . varied and always extremely good.We have sampled scones in many locations in the North of England and in the Midlands but we feel that beyond any doubt they are the best. In addition Seaham Harbour is well worth a visit with many features of its mining history(eg the harbour) plus some fine coastal wallks.There is plenty of parking and it is free !

Este es un pequeño y muy populares, que han exprimido en muchos asientos posible en un pequeño espacio, pero usted podría tener que esperar por una mesa en las horas pico. Buena selección de pasteles, y un buen café. Sándwiches con ensalada, pan fresco y crujiente ensalada granero con vinagre de vestidor. Genial para una parada para tomar un café a media tarde después de un paseo por la playa o visitar a Tommy.

Llamamos aquí durante el Carnaval y teniendo en cuenta cómo Seaham ocupado la ciudad era la cafetería estaba tranquilo. El servicio era rápido y amable y las bebidas eran más aceptables. La ubicación de la cafetería es perfecta para una parada mientras camina por las cimas de los acantilados. Sólo leve sorpresa fue el hecho de que sólo fue efectivo. Que podía tomar una pocas personas.

This is one of the best cafes in the area - great coffee, friendly staff, comfy seating, lovely location, amazingly good scones and the corned beef pie is delicious. I have tried all the cafes nearby but this is the best.

Mi marido y yo llamé aquí para almorzar después de un agradable paseo por la playa en Seaham el martes. Es un lugar agradable, hogareño, nos sentimos como en casa enseguida. Era tan acogedora. Pedimos tarta de carne en conserva y las porciones eran tremendos! Después de comer el pastel, decidimos llevar a casa un par de bollos para el té. Todo es hecho en el mismo día. Absolutamente delicioso. . . . Como Madre utilizada para realizar.El personal es amable y atento y, de hecho, tenía un sentido del humor y el servicio era insuperable!Gracias por terminar nuestro día tan bien con buena degustación, comida excelente relación calidad-precio. . . . . Sin duda volveremos! ! ! !

I had a delicious white chocolate and cranberry scone today , compliments to the chef it was perfect.So many other establishments just don't realise scones must be eaten on the day they are made, at Black Truffle they are fresh every day.

Aunque me Visite esta cafetería a menudo es un tiempo desde que entró en una crítica. Qué puedo decir, siempre disfrute de la visita, había café y pastel, esta vez en vez de té y bollos, café bueno tarta y buen servicio. No gusta, Epwhats muy concurrido en nuestra visita esta semana, pero no hay disminución de calidad, señoras.

Este es un lugar pequeño y encantador, amable, acogedor y un delicioso café. Una verdadera joya en Seaham. Me encantó el papel antiguo peculiar que solía tener, aunque dieron al lugar un carácter y calidez. Aparte de eso, es un lugar fantástico y vale la pena una visita!

Había café y bollos, que eran muy agradables. Un entorno cómodo y una tienda de regalos y una boutique que encantador terminó costando marido bastante dinero. Habiendo dicho que no ofrecen, así que habría sido muy desagradable de que no deje que le estropeó a mí. Pop, usted estará agradecido

We stopped while passing through the town wile visiting the area. Food is unique and delicious. Not your average pub grub. We had the mixed grill in their signature peanut and lime marinade. Absolutely delicious and tender. Never had anything quite like it!

We visited this morning for coffee, cake and ice cream with the family. Gorgeous place, excellent food and very friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. Lots of measures in place re Covid - felt very clean and safe.
