Fantastic place full of atmosphere. Come for the scones (made fresh in the house and delicious), stay for the plants. The best thing about Cafedral is the people who take care of it and its customers :) Welcoming and generous. Thank you for everything!

A lovely little cafe hidden away on the Bailey. Excellent service as soon as you walk through the door making you feel very welcomed and a valued customer. The food and drinks are great with lots of selection. I would highly recommend visiting this cafe when in Durham!

This place with was full of plants just near the Cathedral I found the name very cool just for it I wanted to try. Actually they were kind they asked me if I want to move near the window. We were in rush so just ordered tea and it was fast served. Only thing that I felt a bit uncomfortable was a man that was walking near the tables with towel and a bit angry. I totally understand with the theft this is very hard situation. Other than that it was good. I hope you the best

Lovely place.Had a fantastic wrap and then a slice of cake which I wasn't going to have but our lovely waitress bought 2 plates so it would have been rude not to! Highly recommend.

lovely cafe within walking distance of the cathedral. Dog friendly. We came with our newborn son and baby changing facilities that are non-existent, and only one toilet - we didn't mind changing him in the restaurant and neither did anyone else. This isn't disabled friendly and the stairs were slippery (raining on the day).Food was very nice and came out quickly, within 5 minutes for four people. They did forget my order and this took another 5-6 minutes to prepare. This happened again later on when we asked for hot water for the tea too. The waiter was slightly loud, but it was quite busy at brunch so I could understand his loud voice. He did give our dog a nice water bowl without us needing to ask, which was a nice change. The avocado and salmon bagel was nice and they provided a generous amount of cheese with the scone too.Overall this is a good place for brunch, and would like to see some small changes to avoid slippages which may cause accidents on wetter days.Wheelchair accessibility: This is not remotely accessible for wheelchair access, and if you can walk, you will need to get up 20 or so stairs. Stairs can be slippery too.

Came in right at open with a group of 12 hungry Floorball players. The team were incredibly welcoming and accommodating - moving the tables around so that we could all sit and eat together.Drinks: A variety of hot and cold drinks available - I opted for a large Cappuccino, which was very tasty.Food: We came in early, so had a choice of breakfast/brunch options alongside the rest of the food menu. - I ordered an Eggs Florentine, which was well cooked, rich, decadent and creamy.Staff: The staff, as mentioned above, were very warm and welcoming. They were attentive and saw that all of our café needs were met. If this is how they treat all of their customers, the crew should be very proud of themselves.Final thoughts: Thank you to the Cafédral team, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a nice breakfast out in Durham. If I'm ever back in the city, I know at least one establishment that I will be returning too.

I went there for the hot chocolate, but to my surprise, the water there surpasses everything. The hot chocolate was good, but the flavor of the water overshadowed everything. I would recommend it just for the water; the hot chocolate was good too. On a serious note, the owner was pleasant to meet and the service was impecabble, their cakes and scones are a must try along with the hot chocolate.

Lovely place with a good vibe and reasonable prices. Also incredible that it sponsors so many toilets through toilet twinning. Very friendly staff and would highly recommend if you?re visiting Durham.

Busy little cafe serving hot drinks, cakes, sandwiches and soups. Not welcoming to people looking to work on laptops, and very much geared towards fast turnaround to tourists.

Another great experience. Delicious lunch and great, friendly service despite the cafe being very busy with graduation. This time I managed not to leave my purse in the loo. Will always be grateful to the owner for contacting me on Facebook and getting a member of staff to deliver it to the next destination on our Weardale Way walk that evening. This is a great place; do visit!

Been lots of times and it's been excellent every time but just had to leave a review after the service we had today. It was winter graduation and the cafe was exceptionally busy when we went in. Staff were so calm and welcoming and we were served straight away. The owner was even found time to say congratulations. Your service made our day, thank you.
