The name is a promise the espresso keeps at both counters, with a properly textured flat white as the constant. Filter's the smarter order at one branch, the baking's the reason to linger at the other.
40 Saddler St
The filter coffee is the thing to order, served from a ground-floor space in a medieval Saddler Street building. The flat white is made properly, which the name at least owes you.
21A Elvet Bridge
The flat white is done properly here, which is rarer in Durham than it should be. The baked goods are a serious reason to stay.
