Visited Durham recently and ate here twice. Excellent food and tremendous value unlike most other eateries. Well worth a visit.

Very quiet @ 10.50am. Only me in. Bits of paper on the floor that could have easily picked up. Although lots of places to eat in durham i hadnt been here before. Ordered a diet coke and corned beef toastie. Service was pleasant toastie was tasty the diet coke was from a bottle and tasted kind of strange and very flat at £1.70 was very over priced. Thought it was quite pricey for what i got. Wont visit again

Mi marido y yo encontré este lugar en un día en Durham. Que quiera un café de última hora antes de iniciarse la y fue práctico para la estación de autobuses. . . . . . Lo que fue un error que hizo que, al entrar en esta bastante desnuda atractiva lugar decidimos como el tiempo empezaba a darle una oportunidad. Camarera tomó nuestra orden de 2 cafés, había sólo dos mesas ocupadas. Esperamos, y esperamos, y esperamos. Finalmente fui a ver donde estaba nuestro café, personal se reunía la esquina tener una barbilla menea. Sí, nuestra orden ha sido completamente olvidado. Finalmente cuando llegó era el eslabón más débil (y horrible lattes no me gusta el café fuerte) que he probado, la decoración? Así que no vayas allí. . . . . . . Sin duda nunca volveremos a este lugar.

Whispers Coffee Lounge is tucked away in a courtyard off North Road (near the bus station) so takes a bit of finding. If you are at this end of town it is a place I recommend looking for if you are wanting coffee and casual food. It serves a 'basic' cafe menu including some main meals. The scones were fine and prices fair. It is clean and service is welcoming and efficient. It is also in a quiet location - off the busy North road.

While Christmas Shopping called in Whispers cafe for lunch. Hubby had large beaf dinner . He ate the lot. I had small pork dinner. Very good just right for a cold day out shopping. Finished off with a pot of tea. I would deffo recommend this cafe just off North road In a small court yard near the Bus Station. This is the second time we visited this cafe last time we had the special mince and dumplings yummy.

Visited this cafe for the first time today. It is up one of the side streets just off North Road. The staff were helpful and cheerful. I had a cuppa with a corner beef and onion toasties with salad and coleslaw. It was absolutely lovely and be visiting again

Tucked away in a courtyard near the bus station. Only came in as board on main road. Fairly basic menu and also does main meals. Good value for money

Quiet courtyard cafe tucked away from the bustle of the city. We had been looking for somewhere nice to sit down and have cake and coffee. The cakes were ok and coffee was good but prices were a bit higher than expected. There was plenty of room and tables to sit outside would be nice.

Tucked away just off North Road, this is a handy refuge for shoppers in need of revival or friends just meeting to catch up in friendly atmosphere. No frills but clean & tidy with very pleasant, really helpful staff. Roast lunches are tasty and very good value. Nice cakes and scones. Some tables outside in courtyard as well.

I try and visit Durham every few months and Whispers is always my first port of call for either breakfast,lunch or tea.Whispers is situated in a quiet courtyard off the main high street and there's both inside and outside seating.The staff are always friendly and attentive and there's quite an extensive menu which includes full English breakfast,hot chicken sandwich,scones and my favourite hot chocolate fudge cake with cream! I also like their milky coffee. Reasonable prices too,and I'd recommend Whispers to anyone.

I regularly visit Whispers in Durham. It is situated in a small yard not far from Durham Bus station. The food is very good and reasonably priced. The menu ranges from roast dinners and broth to pies and cakes. The staff are very friendly and efficient. I would definitely recommend Whispers to anyone wanting a good cup of tea or a home cooked meal.

This coffee lounge is set back from the main thoroughfare of North Road. It was spacious, clean and tidy. The staff were excellent, attentive, pleasant and friendly. Very reasonably priced food and drinks for being so close to the city centre. Daily specials board and quite an extensive menu. I had a latte and bacon sandwich which was hot and tasty. I will certainly be visiting here again next time I am out shopping and maybe I will have lunch as the meals looked delicious.

i was recommended to try Whispers and was not disappointed. The waitresses are knowledgeable about their menu and ask the right questions to ensure the diner gets just what they want. Many of the customers seem to be families or from an older age group and the menu reflects this. The busy atmosphere and number of regular diners shows that it is a popular venue. The food is tasty and freshly cooked with very fresh salad accompaniment. The cafe is tucked away in a courtyard off North Road and is worth a visit.

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!

Ordered caramel waffle latte and a Chelsea bun for myself, my friend ordered a vegan coffee and cake, by the time we’d picked up our cakes my friends’ vegan coffee was ready and a queue of people had formed so we took a seat and waited, and waited and waited. So having seen so many customers come in and get their drinks instantly I went back to ask for my caramel waffle latte, first of all I was told it had already gone out and the assistant was kind of trying to ignore me as she just continued with more orders, then she snapped ok I’ll make another but she continued with other orders and as the next person she called returned to the counter with a coffee she’d had some time and been drinking, the Starbucks assistant took her cup and tried to pass it to me saying it must be mine! I was horrified and said I don’t want someone else’s coffee, it’s already been partially consumed and handled by another customer so not hygienic but also we’re in the middle of a pandemic. She made me wait a while then passed a cup, looking nothing like the caramel waffle latte on the posters and not knowing if she’d topped up the other cup I retired to the table where my friend had finished her coffee & cake alone, so I ate my then sad dry bun and as I was leaving spoke to a supervisor about the lack of customer service, care and food hygiene safety. I asked for the branch number snd name as I wanted to put in an official complaint but was told the web address would find them, the assistant would be spoken to about making me wait and given a card for a free drink. I’ve mailed the complaints department but 10 days later not heard a thing - we won’t be visiting starbucks anytime soon, I don’t think it’s safe!!!
