Love this cafe. They are dog and muddy boots friendly which makes it a great stop after a day of walking or kayaking. It is beautifully decorated and well looked after, the staff are always friendly and service is quick. They do a good range of cakes, food and drinks, including alcoholic options.
The only place for miles where we were able to find a full english breakfast, and we are so glad we did! The food delicious!!! They source their sausages and bacon locally and the cafe was run by lovely people. the decor is cute with witty quotes along the walls and ceiling. Price was a bit above average but certainly worth it.
Lovely cafe we stop here a lot on motorcycle days out. Good coffee and friendly owners. The food menu looks great too but we usually only have coffee and move on.
Always a great stop when traveling through the area. Jonathan and Bev are the perfect hosts with quality of food and service at the top of their priorities. Parking your bike right outside you can enjoy a meal or just a cuppa inside or out if the weather is good. Popular with bikers, walkers, motorists and locals. If, like me, you were puzzled by the historical significance of 1618, relax. It refers to the street numbers that the premises occupy.
I've been coming here for years, either as a stopping point during a motorcycle route or just as an excuse to eat lovely food and talk to even lovelier people. Another reviewer called the service chaotic, sorry my friend, this is a Dales-pace and you'd be hard pressed to find more commodious people. Rain or shine, a regular visitor or a weary traveller after a long journey, a warm welcome is always served up.
After a wonderful day visiting High and Low Force with my Wife and my 9 and 6 year old boys, we had our day totally spoiled by the unnecessary behaviour of the owners of Cafe 1618. After parking up outside the shop we decided to look at the menu as this seemed the least busy place to eat in the village at the time. Unfortunately, my 6 year old did not want anything from the menu so we took him to the fish and chip shop for chicken nuggets and chips poor parenting i know but he had fallen over and scraped his knee earlier so it was a bit of a treat. After picking up his meal we headed back to the cafe to sit outside, as we had our dog, and intended on ordering 3 adult meals for the rest of the family. As soon as we got to the table not even sat down a lady member of staff later we learned the wife of the owner stormed out and said that we could not sit there while we had food from the chip shop, I pointed out that this was only for our 6 year old and we intended to purchase the rest of our food with them. She then flew off the handle and said 'im just not having it' and 'im sick of this' and 'this happens all the time, needless to say she did not agree for us to stay and eat there and asked us to leave'. My wife pointed out she was being rude at to which she accused us potential paying customers as being rude for simply pointing out that we felt like this was unreasonable. The employee then stormed off back into the shop. By this time we were packing the Dog and kids back into the car when a highly aggressive and disgruntled male i presume the owner as hes in a lot of the pictures on Tripadvisor came flying out screaming we were the rude ones and that we had been totally unacceptable in our behaviour. In retrospect I dont understand why he came out other than to intimidate and be aggressive. This soon stopped when got up to myself and realised i was 6'3 and not the type of chap to approach in that manor. Lucky for him the old adage don't judge a book by its cover is true of he may have been assaulted had he done that with another less restrained. All in all we left feeling, disappointed, intimated, my kids hungry one at least but both upset. What I cant understand though is the business acumen. The chip shot got about £4 of business from me. Cafe 1618 missed out on what would easily have been £30-£40. Whats more baffling is i even pointed this out to the female employee by saying we were going to be paying customer yet she still threw us out. PLEASE PLEASE do not go near this place, especially if you have your children reading the other TripAdvisor comments. The Husband and Wife duo here are simply hateful, bigots, who clearly dont understand business acumen or even the very basics of customer service. I saw it was for sale, I hope the next owners take this place on to a new level as the current bottom of the bucket is pretty grubby.
Good place to stop and have a coffee whilst out in the Durham dales. Jon & Bev are 'biker friendly', Jon has his own bike, which is often parked ouside
Very friendly welcoming staff fab food on offer. Great place to sit outside & watch the world go by.
Stopped for lunch whist cycling through. Sat outside on the street, the food was very good. Staff were very friendly too.
We took a bike ride to Middleton-in-Teesdale and stopped for a cup there. Friendly and small cafe, with nice teas and coffees.
