Truly Inspirational Cafe and Gift SHop in County Durham

First time in this quaint local cafe, and although I live very close, i have never been. The staff were very pleasant and served in good time. I had the chilli con carne and rice with caramel short bread washed down with a latte. This was really good and will certainly be back. The cafe is hidden from the main road to the rear of Vane Tempest hall, and has scenic surroundings. Worth a visit.

A lovely little café hidden away in Gilesgate. Extremely friendly and accommodating staff. The jacket potato was delicious, and they were great at catering to coeliac disease, as well as offered other gluten-free options, such as gluten-free sandwiches. The loose leaf tea and coffee were fantastic, and excellent quality. An affordable and good value cafe. I'd recommend and would return!

Great food, friendly staff and a great place for two non-stop natterers to catch up over lunch. The baked potato cheese savoury is soooo delicious! And the soups and panini are also excellent. I will be coming again 😊

Nice and cozy place. Breakfast was good and inexpensive. Definitely worth stopping here if you pass here on the way Nice and cozy place. Breakfast was excellent and more then worth the price.
