Three Squares in Darlington

Traditional cafe with traditional food cooked to order and cooked as well as any top notch restaurant. Food was fresh and delicious. Friendly and engaging staff.

Frequent this place at least every week for many reasons! Fantastically priced and fab food! Have always enjoyed everything I have ordered and never once had an issue. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Definitely one of the best cafes in Darlington and definitely the most affordable too.

Popped in for the first time in years as I fancied a bacon sandwich. The service was quick and the staff friendly. The sandwich was freshly cooked and had plenty of bacon and didn't disappoint 😋

A small but very clean cafe (seats about 20 & 5 star rated) situated on skinnergate darlington. Opted for large breakfast £10 which included tea/coffee. It had everything & anything. Could’nt fault it. Very friendly & accommading staff. My first visit but wont be my last. Highly reccomended

The owner is an ignorant old man, I pay with debit cards not credit cards. So get it into your thick skull

A man who assumes a tracksuit clad lad is up to no good must think I have no money Visa Credit it wasn’t A Debit Was a bit rude.

Always has been and always will be the best caf in Darlo. Great food, happy staff, good banter.

Unpretentious, good value, good helpings, good service and good food! Would recommend for an old fashioned English Beeakdast

Great little hidden old fashioned British cafe. Nice food, friendly staff. Nice mug o tea.

Solid breakfast. Nothing posh about this place, but has a hot, fresh and tasty breakfast at a reasonable cost. I enjoyed it.

We were recommended to try the full English breakfast at the Three Squares cafe so we tried it today, and it did not disappoint. Friendly staff served us a delicious hot breakfast, which came with a lovely frothy coffee - would recommend ☆☆☆☆☆

Has been around for years can remember this place as a kid as I used to get haircut above and then when finished a bacon sandwich was a treat. Place is great and you can’t beat a fry up! Proper cafe.

Have been coming to this iconic cafe for 50+ years. Although the staff and the decor have changed the bacon buttie and strong milky coffee hasn't. Yummy 😋

It is a very lovely restaurant in Darlington. The breakfast was very delicious (It was my first traditional English breakfast😊). Service is very friendly and helpful. Thank you again for all!👍😊 I never forget the hash brown 😂 Lori from Debrecen, Hungary.

Good food great service didn't wait long for my order, brought back memories of going with my parents when I was younger

Food tasty but to much fat on the bacon by the time I took the fat off only half a sandwich

Very nice warm cosy cafe with very reasonable prices, delicious food and a great service! Very convenient for a spot of breakfast or lunch whilst shopping in darlington.

Good food at a fair price. Recommend.

Love going here you get what you ask for good food service with a smile and great staff

Lovely food and staff lovely and even spoke to my Babies and asked what they wanted and put sauce on her plate

Friendly and welcoming members of staff, made a very nice bacon sandwich

BEST FULL ENGLISH ive ever had and at SUCH AN AFFORDABLE PRICE . i go here every week (sometimes more than once) and when im not able i feel withdrawl symptoms. such LOVELY STAFF who make an effort to make their customers feel comfortable. they know most their customers by name and make conversation, even memorising their orders. id recommend the full english and the egg butty. the hash browns are the perfect crispiness i’ve yet to find elsewhere.

Cracking breakfast. Staff are lovely Bacon especially good. UPDATE July 2022: still amazing.

We have eaten here lots of times mainly come for breakfast which has always been good and great value. Came here for lunch today and again tasty and good value. Staff are lovely and friendly. It's good to support local businesses in these difficult times and three squares make it easy as they don't over charge and try and keep it affordable for all.

Raving review from my student son who thought staff were really friendly, food was high quality and a welcome student discount!

A warm welcome. Great friendly service with a smile. No nonsense. Great tasting food. Bacon butties to die for.

Excellent staff,but be warned of Louise she bites lol. No seriously it's a little gem hidden away , Food is superb. Best breakfast by miles,cheap as well,service with a smile Definitely 100%

Best cafe in the town for breakfast. Bacon butties to die for, friendly staff, well situated in the town centre pedestrian only. Have been coming here for years

10000% recommended. Lovely staff and amazing food. Best greasy spoon in Darlington for a propper English breakfast 👌

You couldn't find a better place to get great food at great prices and the friendliest staff around! I cannot n recommend the place highly enough!!

The friendly staff and the amazing breakfasts are always on top form. I would highly recommend anyone visiting town to give this place a visit on skinnergate.

Low grade quality of produce. Bacon very fatty. Use of cheap sauces. Tea served like dish water, unfortunately I will not return.

Lovely little place our 1st visit here me and the other half just had breakfast and it was yum ! Staff very friendly ..we will be back :)

Come here every so often after work with my partner for an early lunch and always love it. The staff are very accommodating and lovely people, and their hot chocolates are to die for 😍

Great friendly staff always have a chat when I call in for my butty before work highly recommend this cafe

Old skool Cafe set up ! Excellent food and service for in or out ! If you want modern posh cafe ! You pay more ! A luv it me !

Best breakfast had this year , lovely

Very guilty pleasure, lovely staff, great good

Great breakfast lovely people working there. Glad we managed to get in on a rainy day!

Great local cafe. Friendly service, great prices and good food.

Top place for a full English breakfast in Darlington! Lovely atmosphere, and attentive service. A real must-visit location to any Darlington visit!

This cafe is over 60 years old and it's a real treat with great food, coffee and wonderfully friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Excellent service so friendly, sat outside in the sun to have lunch, cheese and onion toastie the other half had a breakfast bap, very good prices, definitely recommend

Always a warm friendly welcome from the staff and the food is basic but awesome. A great little place in the heart of the town centre.

Excellent value for money and pleasant staff, always clean

Staff very nice and food is great value for money, always clean

I've been out of town for some years somquite a while since I was last at the three squares, called in this morning for their £5 full English breakfast. The food was excellent and the staff were great, a proper cafe and a Darlington institution.Highly recommended.

Excellent breakfast, proper old fashioned cafe.

very nice clean place. staff are very welcoming

would give 0 if I could but one star for the mug of tea. Ordered two link sausage rolls. Didnt realise at time or wouldn't ordered. Pre cooked sausages cut in half and re heated. But came out dry and still luke warm. Wife ate one bite and couldn't swallow it.I have waste so ate her's as well on leaving wife asked when were the sausages cooked and was told first thing. We arrived at 10.45 am.Is is even legal to do this especially with pork. I support local and small places but never ever again would i set one foot in this place and when ordered I didnt see the pre cooked sausages and over cooked bacon.

This cafe has been here years. It has never changed, thank god. Bacon sandwiches are perfect. It's the typical old school type cafe. Menu has a good variety and nothing is over priced, I have never had any problems when going there.There is a seating area which is quite small. It needs a more cosy feel to it but it's what it is.The staff always pleasant, nothing is ever too much to ask.Whenever in town call in

Absolutely love this little cafe. It's nothing grand, what you see is what you get, no nonsense mainly fried food, hot and cold drinks, biscuits etc. The establishment is spotlessly clean and the staff try their hardest to maintain high standards and good customer care and will always cook food to customers preference. A real positive throw back to bygone days! 😀

Best bacon buttie & best tea in Darlington.Lovely staff & good prices. A real treasure.

I used to come a lot for bacon sandwiches to take away reasonable enough, staff are friendly. However would not recommend eating in, I was disappointed with the full english and no customer toilet. I wouldn't rush back.

The perfect hangover cure, Breakfast in a bun. Job done!

Called on a Saturday lunchtime for our very first visit to this cafe. First impressions were very good, nice clean and bright interior and welcoming friendly staff. We both had bacon and mushroom butties and a pot of tea. Lovely soft buns and plentiful fillings of bacon and mushrooms. Very tasty - could not be faulted - excellent value. Will definitely be back.

Great cafe. I would recommend 👌

Lovely, friendly staff. Very good bacon buttys. Just ask them to cook to your liking and they will do their best. They do sometimes deep fry the bacon which I wish they wouldn't do as it makes the bacon like jerky.

I used to come here when I was free and single the juke box has now long gone but still a very nice bacon butty ( could do with the juke box back)

I first went in here as a kid in the 1970's, and it hasn't changed. Traditional breakfast, cuppa tea, bread and butter etc. Eat in or take out. Cheap, fresh food, served by dead nice ladies. What's not to like ?

Proper cup of tea and sausage sandwich

This place has been going longer than I've been alive. It's still going after all these years for a reason. It does good, proper old greasy spoon food. None of this Quinoa nonsense. It's not Michelin Star rated gourmet wizardry, it's nicely cooked bacon, in a white bun, with ketchup and it's cheap too. Marvellous. Other breakfast options are available of course, but a bacon butty from the nice people at Three Squares is just part of my DNA. Literally. My mum ate more than a few while pregnant with me!

The only place for breakfast...

This is good honest basic food. It hits the spot ! What more could you ask for. Fine dining it isn't but if you want a heart meal this is the place to be. Oh, and the staff are wonderful.

When I was a student at QE sixth form I used to go to this cafe at least 3 times a week for lunch. Really good toasties, chip butties and sausage sandwiches. Nice and cheap as well. Could do with some free wifi though.

One of the last bastions of the Great British breakfast. Old school dining. The smells, the food- amazing. Great friendly atmosphere. Have resolved many a hangover.

this bar does the best quality cocktails in darlington. the staff are friendly knowledgeable and helpful. there s always stuff going on in this bar. salsa dancing etc and apparently the do food according to my daughter , mexican in style, but ive not sampled it

plain old nosh, no frills, no attempt to please Jamie Oliver. Breakfast could feed an army, and clog their arteries. Marvellous !

Great butties amazing on a cold winter morning while walking the dog. A tradition in Darlington a real gem!

I used to go in this cafe a lot when I was younger With my friends it used to have a juke box in the back room But it is not there now . The last time I visited this cafeI had a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea The ladies who work in there are lovely

Best bacon sanny on the planet.pitty it shuts so early. 😇

Best breakfast in Darlington centre.
