👍👍 This tea house probably is the most classical designed British tea place you could find in Durham. They have good amount of options for teas, and very nice desserts. They offer afternoon tea cakes&sandwiches set. I am particularly very fond of the second floor. It’s so lovely designed and so cottage...

👍👍 Honestly the best wee place and I’m gutted I don’t get to visit here nearly enough. Staff are beyond lovely, we’re always welcomed so warmly on each visit. Good food. Great choices for both humans and the pups. The dogs love it! Looking forward to attending some of the upcoming dog meets

👍👍 Excellent little cafe tucked away. You access it via narrow alleyways, so it's easy to miss. Great bacon rolls, coffee very good, cakes look really attractive. It is self-service ordering, then delivered to your table, (this isn't obvious when you arrive).

👍👍 One of the best cat cafes we've been to. The girls running it were so nice and friendly. The drinks were yummy with a choice of milks; they even offer a gluten free bake of the day! The cafe itself is small and intimate, which means you get much more contact with the very friendly cats. We went in t...

👍👍 Brilliant service, brilliant food and drinks. Fancied a Mr Porky burger but asked to pay the extra and have an additional burger! 2 for £10 on the cocktails at the time too so 2 with food but the real star of the show was the hazelnut espresso martini, cracking after dinner drink and staff more tha...
