Biz-R Coffee House

A very tranquil place to sit by the river, especially if you are changing buses.

As an American from Arkansas in the UK, I'll admit it can be hard to find good iced coffee (which is how the majority of people drink it back home - people here seem to prefer it hot, which makes a lot of sense).

Well...this place had INCREDIBLE iced coffee, as well as a large selection of hot coffees and smoothies and food. The atmosphere was absolutely perfect as well; lots of space, lots of seating, and great for both working and socializing. The service was incredibly quick and friendly, and the cake was to die for.

I wish I'd found this earlier in my stay, because it definitely would have been an every day kind of stop for me.

Lovely local coffee with very friendly staff. Nicely decorated, by the river with nice view. Coffee was nice , cakes delish and fresh.

Please try the milkshake and paninis they are just perfect.

What a joy, so unexpected. We walked across the bridge to see some outside seating and a coffee shop. Great coffee and panniers had with a view of the river, bridge and cathedral. Having good weather helps as well of course, but I'm not going to review that, not here anyway. We parked somewhere else and walked through the city centre.

Stopped off for a coffee on a stressful Saturday afternoon. Staff friendly, even helping me figure out which artists were playing on their Spotify playlist. Lovely cakes, nicest choc flapjack I can remember having, spot on coffee too 👍🏻

The coffee and the tuna melt sandwich were amazing. The view from the outside sitting area is great too ( in the pic). Definitely worth a visit if you need a break.

Always good coffee and friendly staff. Our dogs love it too!

Place is bigger than it looks from outside. Setting at the rear & also upstairs in addition to outside with view of the river Wear. I only wanted a latte which was good but nice selection.of cakes & paninins in the display cabinet. Staff friendly.

It was very good really nice cafe and the staff are very polite and helpful especially of your disabled my self and my sister when we come to Durham often use this Cafe before we head home

Biz-R Coffee House is located in a really pretty area and we enjoyed sitting outside and watching the world go by.

I had a hot chocolate, which was great. The prices are reasonable and the staff are all really friendly and helpful!

Coffee shop with a view on Riverwalk. Simple Coffee and friendly service.

best flat white in Durham ☕

Still some of the loveliest and most caring staff, combined with a passion for baking lovely cakes and snacks, and excellent coffee.
We go regularly, it's a welcome bolt hole when Durham gets a little too busy, we have a couple of favorite tables at opposite ends, one with squishy seats that overlooks a pedestrian square (although this is often occupied, everyone else's favorite too) and the other with excellent daylight for reading, and a view of the people that come and go with all their foibles.
They include free WiFi from Purple WiFi - you should be able to just sign in and go

First time here and I absolutely reccomend, the staff are lovely, the service was quick and the carrot cake is incredible!

Been here many times, lovely atmosphere, sat outside today with the dog. Lovely toasties, tea and coffee and the jazz/blues music in the background is very relaxing.

Great coffee and cake！

Love it here come.with my sister we love it

Serves the best cappuccino in Durham. Great staff, good choice of music, is clean, and gets a selection of newspapers every day.

Just had a coffee so unable to retrieve the food but the coffee was very good.
