Love this cafe would recommend to anyone, great atmosphere great staff fantastic food and one amazing manager that keeps it all together, 100% Brilliant well done cafedral Durham,PS love your home made scones they are to die for xx
Very friendly service, lovely relaxing place and way better than visiting places like costa/ Starbucks. Food was lovely would recommend paninis and the veggie wrap
Very cosy environment, friendly staff. The food is great. We tried the open bagels. The blueberry scone is not to be missed. The owner is a lovely man who looks after the customers with attention. The coffee was good and we loved the dirty chai latte. We are lucky to have stumbled upon this place on our road trip.
quirky 1st floor cafe near Castle and cathedral in Durham, up three short flights of stairs lovely bright interior, mixing different chairs, tables and lighting with plants and loads of natural light from the massive period windows, great service and lovely food with many gluten free options. Got really busy when we were in but all added to to homely feel
This was my 2nd time at cafédral. The first time I went there, I ordered their iced mocha to-go which was very tasty with lots of chocolate!
Today, I decided to finally try their infamous hot chocolate with a tuna melt panini. First of all, the panini came with a nice bed of salad with dressing, and coleslaw (a pleasant surprise). The hot chocolate was lovely with lots of marshmallows (although I expected a bit more chocolate but it was pleasant regardless).
The service was great as when I arrived, I was welcomed by who I believe to be the owner. He was very nice and ensured I got a nice big table even though I was alone.
I’ll definitely be returning!
Plenty vegan and gluten-free options available in this superb dog friendly cafe situated just a stones throw away from the cathedral.
Staff, and the owner in particular, are warm, welcoming, and just super friendly. It felt as though they had welcomed us into their cosy home to share their awesome faire with us.
I can recommend the breakfast panini. The coffee walnut cake is also one of the best I've tried, as are the fluffy and light scones.
A special note of thanks to the owner who gifted one of his spider plants to my daughter. Such a lovely thoughtful gesture. Thank you 👍
We'll be back next time we are in Durham.
Brilliant experience, they made space for us out of nowhere! Really nice food for adults and kids. Also very reasonably priced. Really friendly service, highly recommended!
A lovely lovely cafe. The food is great, and the staff are always kind. I love the cute setup with plants everywhere inside! Also worth noting that they’re dog friendly
Friendly and cosy atmosphere in this little coffee shop. Couldn't decide which scones to try as they all looked amazing! Would reccommend the simple scone with fruit jam and try a one of the cakes they have. Coffee was also really tasty. Plus it's dog friendly!
This is by far the best coffee shop in England. it is family owned. Owners are so friendly and they make the B.E.S.T. scones - made fresh. I had a raisin scone. it was served with fresh butter and jam 😱 so delicious! I could have stayed and eat more. the coffee was really good (don't know what brand they use) it was well balanced and fresh. the coffee shop has a pleasant atmosphere, relaxing & inviting. it was clean and everybody was friendly. If you are in Durham UK, go visit them! olga, from Boston MA
The place was very cozy and nicely decorated. Definitely recommend for breakfast or brunch. The scones were delicious and the coffee was very good too! Lovely experience!
Gorgeous cafe catering really well for gluten free. We had brunch, scrambled eggs with chorizo and avocado and my mum (who has coeliac disease) had a bacon and cheese sandwich. We both then had scones with jam and cream, mum said her GF scone was beautiful!
