The Wynd Cafe & Bistro in Darlington

had the Ukranian. fabulous hash browns. didn't need to eat for the rest if the day. the espresso was nectar.

Not a very large portion & just warm

I went for coffee here with my friend and also had a fruit scone. The scone was lovely and warm and came with plenty of fresh butter and strawberry jam. I had a latte which was also perfect. Service was excellent, very friendly and welcoming.

Staff very helpful food good everywhere clean

Great breakfast and really nice staff. Will come back.

We had a brilliant brunch here - lots of options on the menu and really tasty. They have all-day breakfasts, lots of Ukrainian dishes, options of grilled food and pizza. We were really happy with our cooked breakfasts. The teas and coffees were really good quality, too. Great cafe!

We went for lunch but chose from the breakfast menu, which is available all day. The food was really good. I had the Avocado breakfast with lovely salmon, salad, avocado, hash browns, toast and poached eggs, which were perfectly runny. One of our daughters substituted the Ukrainian hash browns for the regular ones, and I tried them too. Nice. I also pinched the slice of black pudding from other daughter and that was excellent.

Discovered this gem at the weekend and back again just 4 days later! Really cosy and relaxed atmosphere with super friendly staff, and the food is delicious and clearly incredibly fresh. We will certainly be returning!

Really nice little cafe. I ordered the spaghetti bolognese which was delicious. The staff were friendly and the place was clean, what more could you want?

Looking for somewhere to while time in relaxing surroundings over a tea / coffee… ended up having breakfast! Great place… delicious food. Will be back again.

Booked for dinner, received a confirmation email, arrived and the place was shut. Utter waste of time and left us with no reservation elsewhere. Poor management.

Went here for brunch and had the avocado, smoked salmon on toast- absolutely delicious and the service was fab thank you! Debby and Dave

Lovely, modest hidden gem on Post House Wynd!!! Enjoyed there beautifully presented Aperol spritz cocktail yesterday. This delightful place has something for everyone with a good variation of alcoholic and soft drinks, barista style coffees plus yummy milkshakes for the kids.

Food says delivered but it has not been, waited a few mins to see if it had just been marked as delivered prematurely but still nothing and the place is not even 10 mins away. Such a shame because I know for a fact what I ordered is absolutely delicious as I’ve had it in the cafe and I didn’t want to give the quality a bad review but I don’t have a choice or it won’t let me submit my review. Very hungry and disappointed.

Just lovely...we will be back. Ukrainian breakfast went down a treat with hubby. I had scrambled eggs on toast with Ukrainian hash browns on the side.... YUMMY!.. Very nice coffee. Great service in a very nice atmosphere 👍Thoroughly recommend

Excellent fry up, lovely customer services, really nice coffee too

Excellent service and my mam loved the food

Lovely place for all the family, wheelchair accessible and pet friendly

Great food, great prices, and friendly staff. What more could you want?

Partner brought home a small breakfast and a sandwich. Breakfast had no mushrooms, no tomato. The bacon was fried within an inch of its life and falling apart like a dog had chewed it. The sausages dry and hashbrows falling to bits. Disappointed for the price. Wouldn’t have paid more than a fiver

Lovely cafe with great food and service

Never received my order spoke to cafe they have said leave a review and I will get refunded

For the price it needs to be fresh vegetables & Yorkshire puddings not frozen rubbish apart from that the mash, meat & gravy was nice.

It's a wonderful Ukrainian Сafe with delicious Ukrainian dishes. Cozy atmosphere and pleasant experience, excellent service! I will definitely come again.

A friendly atmosphere and great food ! Staff are knowledgeable so any questions are answered easily We had the Ukrainian food and enjoyed thoroughly We will be returning to try different dishes soon

Lovely staff! Made us feel welcome. Food was lovely too; partner had the pepperoni pizza and I had the pork and beef grill.

Very small portion considering advertised as a large chicken dinner ,poor quality veg tastes like frozen warmed up. Very expensive for what looks like a child's portion

can of c9ke £2 rip off the food was cold and the chicken was chargrilld what a rip off for 15.99

Lovely breakfast , with great choices and international options. Nice seating with great atmosphere , would go again :)

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and wonderful food! Darlington’s hidden gem 🥰 Absolutely recommend for anyone who wants a lovely local cafe

Comfortable peaceful atmosphere. Delicious and authentic borsht. Ukrainian breakfast was delicious, non greasy and served with a unique and flavourful hash brown. Flat white was lovely. We want to return every week.

Went withmy daughter for late lunch. Couldnt be happier. Awesome little find. Excellent service and delicious food at a very reasonable price. Will definitely revisit 😍

The cafe is situated in a little quirky street in Darlington, next to an amazing art shop . We enjoyed our dinner at the Wynd café. Very friendly place and in my opinion the cafe has a good modern interior. I ordered grilled meat and it was delicious, it came with a fresh salad and very tasty rice. my husband tried Ukrainian dishes and he really enjoyed them. There was a good selection of kids options as well. Nice background music. I would definitely recommend this place. A little gem in the middle of Darlington.

Nice food, and also a lovely place to have coffee and study. Plus, staffs here are super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for someone who is looking for a comfortable place to enjoy me-time in the town.

Lovely cafe with great food! Visited with my mum on my lunch break. The chocolate cake is everything you need it to be and more.

I went for the first time today with a friend and our babies in the prams. The service was excellent - very friendly and accommodating. The door was opened for us, the tables were moved so that we could fit the prams in and the menu was adapted as I needed a dairy free meal. The meal I had was delicious and beautifully presented. I couldn't recommend enough. I'll definitely be returning!

Lovely lunch and great service. Visiting Darlington and family from Southampton. Came here as it was recommended. We'll worth it.

Horrible service walked in and asked about a pizza apparently closed could tell the onwer couldn't be arsed to make it why keep the bored outside 😴 Advertising Freash pizza walked its and the owner said closed with no apologise or anything horrible Attitude Needs to change the attitude

Supposed to be the best breakfast in Darlington after trying it I clearly believe it Amazing food quality and portions Very friendly staff

Tried out the new grill today. It was delicious and very reasonably priced, it even came with a free drink. Definitely worth a visit!

This is great for lunch and we will certainly be trying it on an evening. Fantastic food, friendly and attentive staff, lovely and clean. Absolutely brilliant.

Went with a friend for lunch. Lovely food, lovely atmosphere, with the music in the background, and lovely service.Will definitely go again 😁✨

beautifully served breakfast and tastes really nice! The over all place was a nice and chilled environment with polite staff We will definitely be making this cafe our regular

Went to the cafe today at 1pm (2 people) I would say it was moderately busy but not heaving. We waited 20 mins for the drinks to arrive. We then waited 1 hour 20 minutes for any food to arrive. I ordered the breakfast, I had asked for no black pudding and no tomatoes. When it arrived it had both on the plate. I asked the waiter and he took it away and scraped it off and brought me back the same plate. The toast and the beans were stone cold and the eggs were not runny. I asked the waiter to come back and handed him the toast which was freezing and explained it wasn’t very good especially for how long we had been waiting, and it wasn’t very warm and we were still missing the other meal. He replaced just the toast. Throughout all this, we were still missing our other meal (a pizza.) The pizza arrived about 15 mins after the breakfast was served and was very greasy. We were offered 20% off the bill but realistically after everything that was wrong with the meal, waiting nearly 2 hours and eating at different times, I think we shouldn’t have paid at all. Extremely disappointed and will not be returning again. I would not recommend it.

Great service, lovely Chicken Parmo. Will be back again, thanks. I visited in Darlington while shopping and this was a nice stop and rest too.

Fantastic full English breakfast on my first visit on Saturday and a Great bacon sandwich on Wednesday, the staff are lovely and very helpful 👍👍👍

My cousins and I enjoyed a lovely lunch here on 25th January 2024. The breakfasts were beautifully presented, great value and scrumptious as well. I had one of the house specialities, filled dough pasties, which were very tasty. Dog friendly as well.

Service and atmosphere was great, Ukrainian dumplings were lovely. Will go again to sample more of the lovely menu

Wonderful cosy place, great food and drinks and excellent friendly service! Food alterations and additions were happily accommodated, can’t wait to go again!

Fantastic black pudding in the full English breakfast.

Table for 6 hungry men and it didn't disappoint. Great service, lovely environment but above all a very tasty breakfast! Excellent value for money, particularly when you factor in the high quality sausages and bacon which were very noticeable - lovely! Thank you.

Great place to eat varied menu & delightful food. Second visit & certainly will return, lovely clean restaurant & staff very friendly , Tomato sauce really different with mozzarella & croutons.

Lovely food lovely environment and lovely staff we Will definitely be back Pizza great soup really tasty, and in a nive part of Darlo

The welcome was warm and friendly. My daughter was entertained from the start with crayons and paper. The service was great. The food was lovely and value for money was definitely provided. Carbonara pizza was delicious and everything was cooked well. Finished with a lovely chocolate cake. Overall great experience and I’m happy we chose to eat here.

Such a lovely cafe with a wide range of dishes available to suit every taste. Friendly staff and the food was unbelievable. Highly recommend the Ukrainian breakfast - hands down the best hash browns I've ever had.

Called in for coffee with a friend and ended up ordering the Ukrainian breakfast. Really good quality produce, served quickly and the Ukrainian hash browns were amazing. Alex was very friendly, made us feel very welcome and we will definitely be back!

Lovely, friendly place with great food. Try the Ukrainian hash browns!

Lovely independent cafe situated in the heart of town. We were greeted by the lovely Alex, who made us feel welcome. The menu has a wide range of options. We opted for the Ukrainian breakfast, which was absolutely delicious. Those hash browns are super tasty....

Top quality food for fiat prices.. what more to ask for, also very friendly service.. will definitely visit again soon and recommend to friends and family 👍🏻

Really nice coffee with lovely people they make you feel really welcome and the layout is beautiful definitely recommend coming here x

Really friendly & welcoming cafe, stopped off for a coffee with my daughter on our way home from town. Great coffee & a nice atmosphere, will definitely tell family & friends & be back again.

The food is delicious and the service is great. I have been here lots of times and I always enjoy it. There are also lots of options for vegetarians (I am vegetarian). The place is beautiful as well. Definitely recommend.

Great quality food produce and cooked very well , very tasty. Will definitely be going again, Very friendly service Definitely recommend Spencer

Good service and fresh food. Ukrainian options were different and tasty. Hot coffee with non dairy options available.

Wife and I visited for lunch (although I had a breakfast option). We had Chicken Kiev and Ukrainian Breakfast both of which were excellent especially the Ukrainian hash browns in the breakfast.

I like this place, very tasty breakfasts and traditional Ukrainian dishes. Nice staff and very homely atmosphere. I recommend!!

Our service was perfect, we had Alex as our waiter, he was very polite and made sure that we were happy with everything! The food was lovely! Beautiful atmosphere!

Absolutely amazing! Great atmosphere! The food is exceptional! Very tasty and well prepared and you can chose among many menu options. I love the service at the place.

We were with friends and ordered three different burgers. it was very tasty, we really liked it. We'll definitely be back

Came here on my own to do some studying while having coffee and lunch, it was a lovely experience. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.

The food we had was really nice. Quite a lot to choose from on the menu. Good service and clean. We’ve been before so would definitely go back.

Came here with my mam and one year old. Lovely friendly service and my child was made to feel welcome with colouring pens and paper. Ordered the breakfast and it was beautifully presented I really enjoyed it, expecially the sausages. Will be coming again soon and will recommend to others.

Came here today with my mam and my one year old. Lovely friendly service. We got a breakfast each and I throughly enjoyed it and it was well presented. Will be coming here again soon lovely atmosphere and food.

Lovely large breakfast, avocado, salmon and poached eggs, both freshly cooked and beautifully presented, very nice coffe too and lovely customer service, will definitely be back

Me my partner and my son came in for a quick lunch and the food and service were top quality we will definitely be returning! Thanks for the food

Lovely lady welcomed us and happily accommodated our large table. The children were given colouring and the food was delicious. We will definitely be returning. 5*

Won't be visiting again, ordered a parmesan, not worth money, also got 2 coffees, pice chocolate cake, £20, parmesan was tiny, no salad on, they not properly organised, badly run cafe at extortionate prices

Friendly service and great good!

Staff seemed unfriendly and verry stressed

Food was lovely, as was the coffee and service

Group of 6 and a dog. The waitress was lovely however we all had breafasts (apart from one who had salad) all were of very poor standard. My daughters milkshake was £6 which seemed really steep. Nothing we ate impressed anyone in our group. We wont be back due to food.

Exceptional service and great food and I will definitely recommend and thank you very much Keith

The borsch was absolutely stunning😱, it feels a lot more than just a restaurant dish, it feels like love and joy, with the proper sides: toast with salo and spring onions, incredible 😍 Nice and relaxing music, and very warm personnel! I wonder why I didn’t discover them earlier, will definitely come to The Wynd Cafe and Bistro again!

Great 'Ukrainian' breakfast this morning!

Very good.....couldn't give 5 stars they forgot my Yorkshire pudding

Enjoyed our visit unfortunately it has changed hand since last time we were there. Menu not too good for lunch time also quite expensive for lunchtime

Despite previous reviews, the prices are pretty much the same as before. Food was good, service good. We were the only people in so no atmosphere.

The coffee was very strong and a bit bitter for me, ordered a full breakfast and when it arrived some of the food was hot or warm, toast was more like warm bread and there was salad leaves with cherry tomatoes? The TV at the end of the cafe was playing some chilled out video with very annoying harp music.

Overpriced breakfast, cheap nasty baked beans, for 13£ you would expect heinz. Sausages not the best, bacon, hash brown and black pudding was decent. Not worth 13£. Sushi was nice, but still overpriced for what it was.

Have to agree with other reviews. Staff are friendly and welcoming, and the coffee wasn't too bad, but sadly these are the only redeeming parts. The food took about 20 minutes to arrive (eggs benedict), and was served stone cold. Muffin was straight out the bag, not toasted. Eggs were somehow simultaneously undercooked and overcooked, with raw whites scattered across the plate yet somehow solid yolks. Ham was also straight from the fridge, and was clearly Tesco's budget brand. No hollandaise to be seen. The best part, all in all it cost £12.80. You'd be much better off heading to Hatch round the corner; better food and coffee for less money.

I simply have to put the lowest score possible. This used to be a wonderful little cafe & not too expensive. However, since it reopened under new management, the prices have increased exponentially. You would think you lived in Mayfair, I kid you not. Shockingly high prices for the most basic of food. The only reason I can think of is the owners are using the business as a funnel account to launder money through. There is no other explanation.

Excellent food with fun Ukrainian menu so got to try something new. Lovely service and calming atmosphere with nice chill music. Good prices too. Thanks!

Ordered a piece of cake, tea, late & a cheese & onion sandwich. They asked if we wanted the sandwich toasted we said please. After 25 mins, the cake was eaten, the late(worst I’ve ever had) was drunk, and tea drunk.We decided to wait no longer. We paid for what we’d had and said we couldn’t believe the toasted sandwich still hadn’t arrived. They had the cheek to ask if we’d ordered it. Then asked if we still wanted it. Atrocious service, powdered late i think. Definitely wouldn’t ever go back!

Lovely places...but £6 for scrambled egg ...one slice of toast and very little scrambled egg ..not sure it worth it ....

This used to be a lovely little cafe. Went for lunch with 3 friends last week. Never again ! We ordered 4 salads ( 2salmon 2 chicken.) After about 30 mins the 2 salmon arrived, basically a plate of lettuce with a couple of strips of smoked salmon and avocado. No dressing or tomatoes as on menu. My friends asked where the dressing and the tomatoes were. They took the plates away , added dressing and cut 3 baby tomatoes up and split between the 2 plates. 30 mins later and the 2 x chicken salads had not arrived. How long does it take to make a salad !! We paid for our drinks and left as other friends had eaten their salad by this time. The family on the table behind us also left with no food. The manager was shouting 5 more minutes......we didn't wait !

Amazing menu including Ukrainian dishes🤗

They're back! New menu (no Wallace and Gromit sandwiches sadly) but the new Ukrainian menu is a welcome addition alongside classics like breakfasts, sandwiches, salads and pasta. Friendly service, the food was good quality, hope it goes well!

Really great atmosphere, the staff are all lovely and the food hits the spot every time 10/10

Very enjoyed Wynd they had a very good deal on for lunch as Sandwich, Cookie/Muffin, Hot drink or Refill soft for £8.50. They had a few other deals but I went with this The sandwich was great and could be had out of some preset choices or a create your own, as a neurodivergent this was a slice of heaven knowing exactly what is going to arrive on my plate no nasty surprises or unwanted wastage! Very delicious will come again.

The Wallace and Grommet sandwich is very tasty, definitely worth a try.
