My last visit wasn't pleasant because of the service unfortunately.
Will choose different places next time.
How you talk to customers is important.

Visited for the first time yesterday, and was delighted to find such a great choice of, gluten free, goodies. Not only that, but the two, different, cakes, which I shared with my daughter, were delicious along with the coffee and tea. If, like me, you have allergy issues, it's a great place to visit but dogs are very welcome too, which would suit you animal lovers. Go along and pay a visit, you won't be disappointed.

Great and very patient service. Delicious food. Quirky vibe. Loved it. Also interesting art on the walls!

Had coffee in here several times and it?s very good. Decided to have lunch today, fried eggs on sourdough with crispy bacon and mushrooms.
Plate was cold, mushrooms were cold after about 3 mins, 2 fried eggs both had hard yolks, bacon so crispy I had trouble cutting it and it was very salty, bottom layer of toast difficult to cut through and plate had lots of oil swimming around it which isn?t good from a calorie point of View.
Will try again but on this occasion I was really disappointed.

The food was nice and didn't have to wait long. It was all reasonably priced. The coffee was quite bitter, but that is just a matter of taste. It's worth a visit if in the area.

Excellent cafe with a great vegetarian selection. The goats cheese wrap is particularly tasty.

What an amazing find! Our first time eating out in Darlington. We just happened upon Influence Cafe. It catered to all of our dietary requirements, with a lovely menu full of beautiful food. All inclusive (Pet friendly, vegan, gluten free etc) with a relaxing atmosphere and impeccable service. Will definitely be back again, as my wife wants to sample the whole menu!
Only thing I could say is, the toilet is on the top floor, so not accessible for disabilities, but the cafe itself is.
Dietary restrictions: Vegan, vegetarian, dairy free and gluten free available for many meals.
