Rumours Cafe - County Durham

My husband and both mothers visited the restaurant today (Monday, 9/10) on a beautiful day, but decided to sit indoors. One of them was fascinated by the many teapots on display. We all enjoyed drinks with caramel shortbread and a piece of tea loaf, which were absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. The restaurant is tucked away off the main street.

We received a warm welcome at this lovely cafe. My partner and I enjoyed jacket potatoes with tuna and coronation chicken fillings, accompanied by a side salad and an orange slice. We also had a cappuccino and a pot of tea. The cafe had ample seating both indoors and outdoors. We will definitely be returning in the future.

A charming and relaxed atmosphere perfect for enjoying a coffee or tea, with a great variety of cakes and scones. This restaurant is dog-friendly, which is a bonus. I ordered a cheese scone and it was served with a small pot of grated cheese, a lovely added touch. It tasted delicious!

Lovely little family run cafe with excellent home made soups, sandwiches, cakes and snacks. Very friendly with additional tables outside. Really glad we found this little oasis.

I'm not a great lover of hot chocolate but for some reason just fancied one. This has to be the best I've tasted. Really nice and quaint coffee shop. We were heading to High Force and upon speaking to the owner he gave us advice on where to park. We took his advice and a great walk along the river via Low Force and on to High Force. If ever in the vicinity would definitely be calling in here again.
