Best lunch we've had for quite a while.
Food was fresh, tasty and delicious.
The bacon and walnut salad was so good and tuna melt very very tasty.
Coffee and music spot in as was all the staff.
Excellent value for money.
Staff is extremely friendly, approachable and helpful. They served me with a big smile in this faces what makes a huge difference.
I have eaten a influence XXL and was delicious, they have a hand made coleslaw and the bread, sausage, bacon and onions makes a great combination.
I will definitely come back.
What a find! Great menu! Plenty of choice! GF options and all freshly made to order.
Will be back next next we're in Darlington, with our dog.
Beautiful food I had the eggs benedict and they were amazing! Lovely staff and beautiful dogs too would highly recommend for a relaxing coffee
This place is magnificent. Food is exceptional. Seriously good. Also excellent coffee. Real labour of love.
Never been before and we called by for a light bite of lunch. Top marks from us both. Food and service excellent. Julie's coffee was very good and my hot chocolate was the best I've had since Christmas in Prague last year. The focaccia in the sandwiches was delicious. Will definitely go back.
Really enjoyed my Christmas lunch today the Turkey Sandwich was lovely and with a very good menu selection I will definitely be calling again. Highly recommend the Hot Sand Coffee. The staff are very friendly 😀
This is one of the best cafe's in Darlington I've found. For coffee lovers there's the Turkish coffee, and for tea fans there are a selection of more 'exotic' options that you'd not find else where. The baked goods seem to be homemade because they are divine.
The quality of the food and drinks are well worth the price.
Edit: Forgot to put that it's also dog friendly!
Walked past this cafe so many times, today was a first visit for a bite of brunch with a friend. Atmosphere was relaxed, staff friendly. First time in a while for loose leaf tea - but it was amazing along with Eggs Benedict. Place was busy so had to wait a little while forcthe food but we weren't disappointed. Cakes looked divine too - but alas another time.
The bacon and sausage roll was one of the best i have ever had. The service was excellent served with a smile 😃
Amazing food, staff were super friendly! We took our 12 week old spaniel in who is very nervous and everyone was great with him! We will definitely be back 😊

Yummy pancakes with streaky bacon 🥓 and maple syrup 😋 Very friendly service. Great atmosphere; love the art on the wall👍 I'm coming back here again 😀 Thank you 😊
Popped in with a mate for breakfast never been before as I am not from Darlington we both decided on the vegan toasted banana bread with yoghurt and compote this was perfect it wasn't too sweet. Had a perfect balance and we didn't get bored while eating it. Lovely service the coffee was lovely will definitely pop here again. Lovely selection of vegan options
I went to try their hot sand coffee and it is one of the best things I've ever had, if you like espresso you simply must go and taste it for yourself. I also had some fig and honey tart which was equally fabulous. A real gem of a cafe and reason alone for a visit to Darlington.
First time here and was impressed after having a rubbish experience at another cafe earlier. This place is great. Customer service was excellent...very friendly indeed. Nice outside space and plenty of comfy seating inside. Toilets were nice and clean. I didn't have any food, but the coffee was great. Well done to the staff though for being warm and welcoming...I'll be back.
