My favourite place to eat in Durham. I love the decor, the vibe and the friendly staff. The food is always delicious. There is a separate gluten-free menu and I've always had a great experience there.

The interior design of the new Treats cafe is lovely - both pretty and very clean. The food was satisfactory, unfortunately the gluten free bread served is the cheap, sweet bread, so I didn’t particularly like the toastie. That being said, the filling and side salad was good, and my only complaint was the gluten free bread (it’d be nice if they could get a different one). The staff were so wonderful and very friendly! They were excellent at answering questions - very patient and approachable.

Been here a couple of times, and the food is excellent! Very well made! The lemon and ginger drink is very refreshing, and perfect for the cold weather. It's a pity that the gluten-free cakes they sell are not coeliac safe, because they are sold right next to the gluten cakes, and so not safe for cross-contamination. The staff are lovely though, very honest and friendly.

We came tonight for dinner and the service was very confusing. We had a waitress who was I’m guessing new (completely okay). However all FOH staff didn’t seem to know what was happening. Staff were bringing food to wrong tables, a table next to us weren’t happy that their garlic bread came out as they were nearly finished with their pastas. Our starters came out and my friend had gluten free stickers on her bowl even though we have no allergies. Mains come out with no allergy treatment so very confused about that. When we got offered desserts we were also offered an allergy matrix (again, we have no allergies). Had to send a dessert back due to a hair being in it. Overall, Food was okay, speed of service was okay, but the FOH staff really had no clue what was going on. The only saving grace was our main server Sam who took over from our mains onwards.

A little gem of a place with big portions of delicious food. We had savoury pancakes, the wonderfully friendly staff handled the gluten free request with ease. Freshly cooked and absolutely yummy! More to try on our next visit...

Amazing Cafe! Upon entering the cafe was full and whilst finding a table a lovely staff member seated us together in some armchairs until a table was available. I’m gluten intolerant and asked her if they catered for me and was delightfully surprised to hear that all items on the menu could be catered for GF! I had a full English breakfast which was good quality produce and yummy, the toast provided with it was also nice bloomer style bread! My son had a tuna melt toastie and thoroughly enjoyed that too! The atmosphere was super friendly, constantly full tables (which I think says it for its self), the service was impeccable and I can honestly say we will be definitely visiting again if in the area. Oh and whilst leaving couldn’t resist taking out a yummy looking cake to have later on!

Me and my partner popped in for a cosy place to have to tea and this place was perfect. The staff member was so friendly and made us feel welcomed. We had tea and cakes - the pistachio loaf was beautiful and I was told it was dairy free. There was a couple of gluten free cakes also. Lovely independent store and worth the visit.
