Pausa Coffee - Stockton-on-Tees

On first floor of Dunelm in Darlington us this lovely little cafe. They have a lovely range of cakes and the coffee is good. They also do toasties and sarnies.

Only 1 member of staff serving. She was quite stressed, and cheeky. Asked what was soup of the day and she said nothing yet! We finally managed to get some. My husband and myself had toasties and cake. I asked for no chocolate on cappuccino but she didn’t listen and put it on. Food lovely, staff and service poor. Won’t be returning !

Situated inside Dunelm is this lovely little cafe. They do sarnies, toasties and cakes. Packs of doorstep sarnies just £3 Cakes about £2.45, I had banofee pie, hubby had lemon meringue both were lovely. Note: shop is open late but cafe isnt

Visited for lunch today, it was half full but the rest of the tables were still full of used pots cutlery, found a table that was really sticky and the supposed clean cutlery we were given was very dirty, I'd did look to me as if it hadn't actually been in a dishwasher. When the food came the waitress pointed out that the beans were overflowing, she wiped around the edge of her plate and then licked her finger !! On a plus side the cakes were lovely but overall we were quite disappointed, got the impression the staff just weren't bothered, can't see us returning in a hurry.

My colleagues and I used to frequent this cafe inside Dunelm regularly as we work nearby in Billingham. However, since the recent menu refurbishment, the selection has become very limited. We were disappointed to find that there are no jacket potatoes available anymore. The only options were cheese onion toastie, halloumi panini, or vegan cheese sandwich. The staff are always polite and friendly, but they need to improve the menu selection. We would love for them to bring back the jacket potatoes.
