Whitechurch Durham

Such a beautiful little place to be. Love the live plants! The atmosphere is great. The food is absolutely delicious and I can't wait to return. We came here for breakfast and were totally blown away by the quality.
I love the coffee cured bacon especially!
We bought some goodies on the way out, the pistachio, lemon and strawberry cake in particular, was incredible.

This 5/5 is solely for the Chai Latte and the Scones that is absolutely to die for. I wouldnt recommend the coffee because it’s definitely a bit mid but the Chai Latte is so creamy with the chai infused so well. Also have u seen scones that huge — rarely

Absolutely delicious food, super friendly and helpful staff, lovely location, and even the background music was great. Food is lighter than the usual Durham fare, but innovative and packed with subtle flavor without being stuffy at all.

For the Americans reading this: this is one of the little neighborhood bistros that you find in the foodie cities. It’s hyper local, unstuffy, reasonably priced, and consistently serves food of a quality well above what the price suggests. It’s the place you go to at least once a week because it’s so good.

Highly recommended!

Fabulous breakfast menu, made just a little bit differently, and all the better for it. Friendly and helpful service.

Lovely place, seemed busy on a Friday afternoon but we'd booked. Thought the food was nice & the Victoria sponge cake was very tasty. Peter the waiter was great, we got served quickly.

Have passed this pub a million times and always presumed it was a ‘student pub’, how wrong was I! Essentially set over 3 areas, restaurant, pub and cafe. Cafe had a good selection of cakes and coffees. The bar had a good selection of Beavertown beers. Looked at the restaurant menu and it looked very good as well. Don’t be put off by the stereotype and make your own mind up.

Whitechurch breakfast was really good. Nice outside seating

Lovely food, lovely service. Beautiful, Airy, plant-filled space. Great covered patio. Sunday roast was great for veg and meat-lovers alike. Sweets were divine. Coffee smooth and tasty.

The food was delicious, tasted fresh and flavourful. Fast service for both drinks and meal orders. The restaurant itself is neatly decorated with plants on the walls and tables. The prices are reasonable but a bit high. Worth paying them for what you get. In my opinion, the coffee is unnecessarily expensive though.

Went for Sunday lunch, which was very nice. Service was great, and they have a great selection of drinks, and a tidy menu.

I went to this place for only the 2nd time ever on Saturday evening - and last time was a couple of years ago anyway. I met up with friends for a meal for the 1st time since the pandemic, so it was special. And worth it, it exceeded my expectations! The staff were most welcoming and friendly, there was plenty of space between tables, we were outside but warm with the heaters, and most importantly the food was delicious, I enjoyed every mouthful! The quantities were just right too, and we weren't rushed, we could take our time to eat and between courses. All in all, a great experience. I will be back!

Incredibly lovely ambiance and food. A rare gem in Durham 💕

Whitechurch/Flat White is by far the best cafe in Durham. Not only is the coffee to die for, the food is absolutely amazing. The staff are always so lovely and helpful too.

Beautiful wholesome food, love the relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.

Quality coffee and amazing brownie. Delicious toasted sandwich. Nice friendly staff.

Good brunch menu. Beautiful atmosphere. Friendly staff. Great location in front of the university Science site. Will definitely go back.

Quite simply THE best meal I've eaten. Imaginative veggie options cooked by a chef who clearly loves real food, the smoked carrot was amazing! The atmosphere is wonderful and relaxed but with immaculate, friendly service. Nicola, our waitress was fabulous and is a pure asset to Whitechurch - don't let her go! My only niggle is that I don't live near enough to be able to go every week. Thank you for a memorable evening and an excuse to visit Durham again very soon.

Great food with lovely staff. Travelling alone and therefore eating solo you sometimes get treated as some kind of social pariah. Here I was warmly welcomed and, more importantly, not rushed to free up my table. Also had a choice of non alcoholic beer a rarity in Durham from what I've found.

very pretty cafe. staff is always friendly :)

Great restaurant with a good variety of options for a quick coffee/cake, brunch or evening meal. Has outdoor seating and bar. Food was delicious if slightly on the expensive side for what you get.
