Lovely little cafe in the centre of the town. We had a light lunch (jacket potato with coronation chicken). Service was excellent and they checked out our satisfaction several times. Good selection of cakes.
Came upon this excellent café just across the road from the Buttermarket. Both the owner and the young waitress who served me were very friendly and made me feel really welcome. The downstairs café is cosy with comfortable banquettes, lots of nice plants and magazines to read. Found the log fire very inviting on a chilly wet day! There's another cosy room and toilets upstairs. They serve sandwiches, salads and light lunches, and you can order wine and beer as well as hot drinks. Opted for the ploughman's lunch and it really was a cut above average: lovely thick ham, terrine, cheese, and hard-boiled egg with chutney, grapes, and a crisp salad sprinkled with pumpkin seeds. Very tasty and filling, and the bread was so fresh! The tea was nice and hot. Could not resist trying a tiffin for afters, and it was delicious! The lunch cost a bit more than I'd normally pay, but it was well worth it for the quality of the food and service. Afterwards I had a look inside their little shop next door. Lots of foodie treats and also some nice crafts, pictures, toiletries and gifts. The lady who served me was very helpful, and I bought a lovely toiletry bag. Overall a very enjoyable lunch experience. I highly recommend!
Lovely evening, cosy next to the roaring log fire ! Staff very welcoming and tapas was delightful, Spanish guitar music playing in the background made it all the more authentic . So pleased that we have another lovely place to frequent in Barney. I wish the team every success and hope that the locals give their support!
Okay.. so I wanted to have a cup of coffee around about 8pm on a Saturday night and walked about the whole centre and tumbled upon this Bistro. They were fully booked but the owner I believe, let me have a seat and offered me the coffee and their ginger loaf slice and hand to god .. this is one the best ginger bread I had. The coffee was perfect.
The place is so quaint and cosy with good music and the most friendly staff.
In the future I’m gonna be making reservations to this Bistro well in advance and I can’t wait to try their meals god!
It's always a pleasant place to visit.., be it for its excellent coffee and croissants, cakes and pastries.., or a tasty light lunch. The young staff are always corteous and friendly (overseen by the owner). The place itself is spotlessly clean.., the tables always cleared away and wiped down ready for the next customer. Its quite simply, a nice place to visit and relax.
Lunch was good, but the toilet situation needs some improvement. Whilst trying to enjoy my lunch all I could hear is some doing widdle in the toilet.
The best coffee in Barnard Castle without a doubt. Lovely lunch and cakes with very friendly and efficient staff.
Will definitely be back again!
Very nice little place with a real log fire and pleasant owners. Escaped from the rain during Storm Babet and had slices of Chocolate Cake and Carrot Cake washed down by Americano Coffee. Finished off with a nice glass of Baileys.
