  “The weather had turned grim during our visit to Durham. We wanted to sit in somewhere for some coffee and cake, most coffee shops had closed after 5pm and a random google search led us to this little gem, I’m glad we went in. The ladies behind the till were lovely and welcoming we had a pram with us and were a little apprehensiveness on approach as the entrance way looked tiny but thankfully opened up towards the back. The coffee and cake were perfect. The place itself was dimly lit, cosy and just gorgeous. The toilets were well equipped with a baby nappy changing station. This may sound strange to some but the toilet cubicles were super cool haah! built in to the stone structure of the building. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning to try their food menu when next in Durham.”

  “I go to Flat White every Friday evening, usually with my partner, and the team that are working are always so lovely. The food is unreal, the coffee is always spot on, and the attention to detail is lush!”

  “Ordered a medium steak and got a well done instead - quite appalling considering it’s served cut up, it clearly looks overdone. Also portion was very small, only half a normal steak (5 pieces). Service recovery was good and offered to take it off the bill with a complimentary side.”

  “Amazing gluten free brunch, super safe for coeliacs. Waited 20 minutes but really worth the wait. Bit of a wait for food but that can be explained by the fact it was packed I expect. Lovely people.”

  “I had a lovely brunch here on a Sunday 26th April. I did have to wait 20 minutes for a table and they had only been open for 10 minutes when I joined the queue. I am glad I waited as the food was incredible and the staff were all amazing. I had a vegetarian fry up which I dont usually go for, but I am so glad I did. Definitely recommend coming here for brunch, as well as for drinks and sweet treats.”

  “We popped into Flat White Kitchen yesterday for the first time for some brunch for my birthday. Having recently just moved to the area we didn’t have a great deal of knowledge on some nice brunch / coffee spots… but wow, this place exceeded our expectations in every way. I ordered the salmon avocado and poached eggs on sourdough, and my boyfriend ordered the Steak Benedict. He had commented how the steak was cooked rare and was absolutely perfect. The food we both had was amazing - hands down the best brunch food we have experienced. The coffee was also nice, and the quality of both food and coffee for the price was spot on. The staff are also really friendly. On our way out I went to purchase a carton of the pistachio oat milk they had on sale - and I can confirm this is beautiful and definitely a must try if you pop in! We will definitely be back, and are looking forward to our next visit.”

  “Amazing food Went more than 5 times, took my friend around whenever they’re here in Durham Steak, Korean chicken pancake, their sweet pancakes are all very good Turmeric latte is amazing flat white coffee is also very good! Only downside is the wait time and queue, thus 4 stars Otherwise worth the visit if you’re not very hungry and in hurry”

  “Stopped in here for a late lunch while visiting Durham, we had the veggie fry up and avocado toast both of which were delicious (though we wished the veggie black pudding was a tad bigger bc it was so good). We sat at a communal table but mostly had it to ourselves. The aesthetic was very pretty with plants everywhere. Really glad we were able to stop in here for lunch!”

  “We came for a day out to Durham, we ordered the steak Benedict, iced strawberry matcha and pistachio Latte. The food was one of the best brunch items I’ve had for a while, quality food and flavour. Both drinks were perfect and the service from all staff was attentive, personable and efficient. The atmosphere was quirky and inviting. Just note when coming here there is a wait, we waited around 20 minutes but our experience was worth every second. It’s a high in demand cafe.”
