The 68 Cafe - Bishop Auckland

Michael Molnar

This was a great stop on our way through. Sometimes it’s hard to find gluten free food on the road, and the 68 Cafe hit the spot with gluten free paninis. The serving sizes were generous, the dishes were creative, and the food was tasty. We finished off our meals with a slice of gluten free carrot cake (excellent) and gluten free chocolate cake (which was a bit dry and the only disappointment here).

Lovely place, lovely views, lovely food.
Can't fault it!
Just grabbed a small breakfast, as I couldn't resist some delicious cake...

First visit here with our Grandson for some lunch and were impressed with everything.
The staff are lovely, the food delicious and well presented and such a good choice to choose from.
The 68 Cafe is very clean and tidy and well run with a steady flow of happy customers, will be returning to try out more of their lovely food.

This gem of a Cafe is located around a mile from my home and I seldom visit, this is about to change.

Today I had the best breakfast of my life. The A68 Special Large Breakfast at £11.14p it's was superb. Black pudding, two rashers of bacon, two sausages, two mushrooms, egg, beans and a slice of fried bread and one slice of toast.

Cooked perfectly, you could taste the constituent parts and not grease like other places, this is no greasy spoon, and is a roadside restaurant for those in the know. Of which there were many in attendance, regular customers were enjoying everything from toasted sandwiches, to Sunday Dinner piled high, it looked delicious.

Never fall into the trap that the A68 Cafe is a regular greasy spoon roadside cafe, it is not, it is a destination for an extensive range of quality food coupled with fantastic service. The counter was covered in an abundant arrange of fresh home baked cakes, at which customers had called into simply to purchase to take them away.

The service was cordial, cheerful and quick. Added to the comfortable immaculately clean environment that I had to enjoy my meal, added greatly to the experience.

This must be the No 1 roadside cafe in the north of England, never mind County Durham and it deserves all the accolades that it has garnered.

The old adage " you only get what you pay for" springs to mind, it was worth every single penny. And I will be back sooner rather than later!

Found this little gem purely by chance on route up North. Ample car/motor cycle parking, well maintained both outside and in main Cafe, clean, lots of room both inside and in the well presented and maintained garden area.
Staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful with a smile.
The menu was comprehensive catering to all tastes, without being over priced. Being Sunday when we attended the place was full of what appeared to be regulars for the clearly popular Sunday roast, and what a hearty fabulous looking plateful you had delivered.
We would certainly highly recommend this roadside Cafe to all travellers, one not to be missed if your in the North East.

Wow what a find on a really long journey. Food was fantastic and the cakes were out of this world. A must if you need to stop or live near by. Staff were excellent

They allow dogs outside, but be aware that some of the outside seating area is covered in astro turf, which is not good for dogs. Take out coffee was acceptable and the caramel cake was very dry. Service was good and fairly quick
