Delicious vegan cakes - Edit
Fully vegan bakery with delicious options. Options change regularly so there is always something new. Food available to take away or to eat in a small comfortable seating area and staff are lovely. Will definitely be back, I want to try everything!

BEST CAFE EVER! - Edit
Honestly I'm not exaggerating but this cafe is the best! So great that it's all gluten free and vegan, we're a vegan family but daughter is gluten free which can be so limiting so The Nook has become our regular monthly treat. So many delicious treats to choose from both sweet and savoury. Highly recommend for all!!

Superb Vegan Cafe - Edit
We booked for afternoon tea for my wife’s birthday. Absolutely lovely and would highly recommend. You have to book in advance as only has seating for 4-5 people. The food and service was amazing. Will certainly return. Also, great for takeaway coffee and vegan cakes. The savoury and fruit scones are superb as are the savoury rolls.

Fab find in Durham - Edit
A fully vegan and gluten free stall in the indoor market. Not loads of choice but extremely delicious. I had the sozzie roll (spinach and 'ricotta') and a caramel shortbread, and they were both top drawer.

Incredible - Edit
We’ve been to The Nook twice and both times it did not fail us.
Read moreThe portion sizes are good and the prices are average especially for vegan treats.
Most treats are £3.75 each and they have a deal of 3 treats for £10.50
The woman who runs this place is extremely lovely and helps give that homely small town feel to it which makes you want to go back.
5 star experience here!
It’s vegan and gluten free so it caters to a wide variety of customers and still tasted great!
Pros: Vegan treats and options available, The woman who runs the shop, Cute seating area

Lovely cakes and scones - Edit
We went here when we were at the market and it was great. The person there was so friendly and the cakes were all delicious. We had the Bakewell blondie, rocky road and millionaires shortbread.

Now based inside Durham Indoor Markets - Edit
I enjoyed a beautiful afternoon tea in their new location inside Durham Markets and have many times enjoyed their sweet and savoury delights. My favourites have to be the scotch egg and egg mayo sandwich for savoury and any of their lemon curd products such as the tarts or blondies for dessert. Owner Taryn is friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend making a visit soon, you will not be disappointed.
Read morePros: Variety of desserts, Top quality , Afternoon tea

Transported me to my childhood - Edit
We’ve bought something from here every time we see them at a market. Everything is always delightful. One time in particular stands out: barnard castle. We bought a strawberry tart and it took me back to my childhood with my now departed Nanna. I’ve never experienced such a emotional reaction to food, but I thank them for it.
Read moreBeautiful honest food. Highly recommend.

My head is scrambled - Edit
Grabbed lunch here today and it was delicious but I was so distracted and confused by how realistic the scotch egg was. I took it back to work and cut into it and absolutely did not expect a runny yolk, I was beside myself. HOW???????!!!!!

Mann Oh Mann - Edit
Fabulous market vendor selling a delightful array of sweet and savoury treats and snacks. We picked up 3 sweet treats for £10 and a few savoury items (scotch egg, red pepper slice and a scone). I’d advise you get there early as a lot of the products we were originally after like sausage rolls were sold out by 2pm. Highly recommended if you’re about in Durham on a Saturday afternoon.

Popped in the calendar to go to their once a month event in Harrogate, Valley Gardens.
Read moreWas not disappointed. We got 2x mystery boxes with 4 cakes in each. Vegan and gluten free. Wonderful.
Wouldn't know it was vg gf. All the cakes we miss veganised. Caramel shortbread, viennese swirl, banofee pie to name a few. Will return.
