Coffee Shops · Durham
Sitting down to breakfast on a working farm turns out to be a proper day out in itself — most of what lands on the plate was raised a few fields away, the views across Durham are lovely, and there are animals to say hello to afterwards. Parking is free and plentiful, buggies get in easily, and there are high chairs plus a farmers' children's breakfast that grandchildren apparently talk about for days. Outdoor seating and a play area help on warm days; the forest adventure next door makes a natural lunch stop. Prices are genuinely reasonable for the quality. Two honest notes: it gets noisy, especially in school holidays, and the café can feel a bit chilly. Dogs are welcome inside, which is worth knowing if yours is nervous of them. The BBQ menu stops at 3pm.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
