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.

The filter is worth ordering even if you came for the building.

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.
