Our recent visit to this highly praised Darlington cafe was, unfortunately, memorable for all the wrong reasons. As we were arriving to catch up with friends over a meal, we expected the warm, professional hospitality that so many reviews …
Seated immediately with no booking on a Sunday.
Staff quick to take a drink order and then food when bringing said drinks.
Ordered the Benedict frantumato that now comes with some pastrami 👌
Tasted outstanding …
Located close to the town centre. Has both indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly service throughout. Only had a coffee and a cheese scone so I cannot comment on their food menu. A great place to meet up with friends and family.
Wonderful meal here, Sea bass fillets perfection, desserts to die for. Great menu options & a large selection of wines all at very reasonable prices. Will be returning again this week.
Stop by for a cheeky full English and a coffee. What a lovely place, the staff were amazing tended to our every need with a smile. They are all fully covid safe. The food was lovely. Perfectly poached eggs (something I'm a stickler for) and the coffee was yummy. Highly recommended.
Breakfast was so hard eggs taker of vinegar. Weak coffee . Wouldn’t go there if I was payed 0 stars from me. And staff not very happy no smiles nothing . Worst restaurant ever
