very large coffee shop open 7 days a week inside poplar tree garden centre. Its a weekly must for…read moreme and my colleagues when we are in durham on business to eat at Brambles coffee Shop Durham. Easily accessible off the a1 with free parking and I can even do my weekly food shopping in the farm shop. The thing i love the most about brambles coffee shop are the daily specials and the brambles club sandwich. this place has a wonderful atmosphere, not like you usual fast food coffee shops, more like a restaurant but with very cheap prices. you can eat and drink for under £5 easily and be well fed with huge portions. In summer you can not beat sitting outside in the sunshine at brambles. this place can get extremely busy and must do tremendously well. thats why they have decided to build a large extension i suppose but it just shows what good friendly service, good comfy atmosphere and good value tasty food can do. I can highly recommend the paninis or the prawn salad. the salads are very large so go hungry first.

I've passed the cafe for years and it is very rare to see anyone have a meal there. I've had a cheese scone there that was made with sweet scone mix so tasted awful.

I actually LOVE everything about this cafe! Cafe Eighteen is the Central Perk for myself and my…read morefriends! It's a cute little privately owned cafe on Olive Street just around the corner from The Bridges. I've been here quite a few times but I'll just outline the relevant points! Their chips (fries) are to die for! Thick cut and perfectly salted....seriously, you're crazy if you add more salt and you're crazy if you say there's too much salt on them......perrrrfffeeecccttt. Their hot drinks are lovely! Only ever tired their mocha but it didn't need any sweetening and that's a plus for me any day. Their desserts/cakes are delicccciiiouuuussss. And they're quite unique haha. American Peanut Butter cake, Oreo Delight, etc but you still got the classics like Lemon Meringue and raspberry tarts. Their paninis are ON POINT. Get their pesto and mozzarella panini, very yummy. They also have small or large English breakfast (both regular and veggie). The best part? I haven't had anything at this cafe that was over £5. A filling panini with chips and coleslaw is £4.50. The mocha and hot drinks are £2.20 and under. I've heard their milkshakes are delicious and they're only £2. You can do the Afternoon Tea deal (any cake with your choice of any tea or coffee) for £4. Staff is extremely friendly, kind, and interactive. Also, 10% student discount :) If you don't try this place soon, I'm gonna be really upset.....that's not very convincing but please go try it :) you won't be disappointed!

Quick service, a couple of outdoor seats were available as well. We were just passing through town on our way south, so I don't have much frame of reference for the city, but we parked in a large parking garage and wandered around a little bit. It was close to the cathedral and castle. So a great spot to hit if you are between tours or just exploring the area.

There is some outdoor seating as well as indoor with large windows and very nice views. The menu is pretty great with a lot of fun pancake options as well as salads, burgers, and other things.
