Cafedral Durham

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!

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.

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.

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
