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.

Named for the flat white, and the flat white earns it.

Bean To Brew★★ Specialty

Durham's best coffee operates out of a market unit. The bean retail is the backbone; the drinks counter is the entry point.

Porcelain Coffee Bar★ Everyday

FIKA beans from County Durham and staff who know what they're serving. The most considered cup on Old Elvet.

Cafédral Durham★ Everyday

The scones are exceptional and rightly the reason most people come. The coffee is honest, which is exactly what a plate of scones requires.
