Bean Social in County Durham

Really good food, vegan options, very nice atmosphere and good service

fantastic place to have a coffee and socialise. delicious (& affordable!) food and drinks and wonderful service from staff. cannot recommend enough

One of my favourite cafes in Durham! The owner is really lovely, the food is brilliant and the sensory garden in the back is always really peaceful. So many vegan options as well, definitely worth a visit :)

Superb tea, friendly proprietor, nice decor, a cosy spot to chill if you need some respite from the chaos of North Road or life in general.The wee garden at the back is great too, nice and tranquil. Also canny cheap, just a pound for a takeout tea. 👍

Nice, local cafe. The bagel burger is delightful and so are the freshly made vegan sausage rolls. I like how they’re paired with crisps and a nice salad, makes it worth the £6. I tried the chocolate cake which was a bit dry and the only other vegan cake option is lemon drizzle. I don’t know why they added meat to the menu, this was one of the only veggie cafes in Durham so it didn’t really make sense to me, but fair to give people options. Could really be improved by restyling the interior and adding a couple more vegan cake or pastry options.

Although small and cute inside with a secret garden it is VERY overpriced. I got the burger which was your typical vegan burger (disappointing) which came with lentil crisps, which was sad. The cakes are also so expensive for a small slice, and aren't even that nice.I wouldn't really recommend here for a vegan, not much choice (not fully vegan), mediocre food and it's very overpriced!

Great spot.Mega friendly staff.Great coffee and good for a good price.Complimentary sanitary products in the bathroom.Good music not overbearing.Best cafe in Durham tied with Capriccio.

Excellants burgers and my dish, "Posh Beans" was a nice change from regular lunch-fare. The desserts we ordered (chocolate brownie) was outstanding. You should not pass up the opportunity to have a brownie!

If you're in Durham it is a must visit place the staff are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond your regular costa or Starbucks they have quality art for sale in the shop for just £3 stop reading this and go there now !!

Very friendly vegan cafe! They had run out lunch, but they kindly put some sausage rolls in the oven, while we ate delicious chocolate cake in the garden! The sausage rolls were gorgeous! Will definitely visit again to try the vegan burgers
