Nice, local cafe. The bagel burger is delightful and so are the freshly made vegan sausage rolls. I like how they’re paired with crisps and a nice salad, makes it worth the £6. I tried the chocolate cake which was a bit dry and the only other vegan cake option is lemon drizzle. I don’t know why they added meat to the menu, this was one of the only veggie cafes in Durham so it didn’t really make sense to me, but fair to give people options. Could really be improved by restyling the interior and adding a couple more vegan cake or pastry options.
Gorgeous little cafe opposite the bus station in Durham. Absolutely love their cakes and light bites.
Excellants burgers and my dish, "Posh Beans" was a nice change from regular lunch-fare. The desserts we ordered (chocolate brownie) was outstanding. You should not pass up the opportunity to have a brownie!
If you're in Durham it is a must visit place the staff are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond your regular costa or Starbucks they have quality art for sale in the shop for just £3 stop reading this and go there now !!
Beautiful secret garden, super chill to have nice food. The Ultimate choccy shake and Ultimate chocolate cake are delicious!! Worth trying and more if you are vegan!
I recently started coming to Bean Social properly after having popped in a couple of times, and love it here. It's relaxed and friendly and everyone chats to each other, which creates a great atmosphere. It has the best coffee in Durham and the food is super tasty - also very reasonably priced. Cute garden too.
Lovely cafe with a really nice and relaxed atmosphere. Visited a couple of times now. Today I had a brie and grape sandwich and it was absolutely divine. I love the interior. It's inviting and cosy with quirky and interesting items and photos of Durham. A great little place where you can escape the hustle and bustle. Staff are friendly and attentive. Reasonable prices for very nice quality fresh food, prepared to order. Definitely one of those little gems of a place.
Very friendly vegan cafe! They had run out lunch, but they kindly put some sausage rolls in the oven, while we ate delicious chocolate cake in the garden! The sausage rolls were gorgeous! Will definitely visit again to try the vegan burgers
Really good food, vegan options, very nice atmosphere and good service
Cosy, independent café, serving coffee, tea, and what looked like homemade cakes, as well as meals.
