About Costa Coffee
Costa Coffee in the Prince Bishops Shopping Centre is the Durham branch of the national coffee chain, sitting right in the heart of the city centre among the shops. It serves the familiar Costa range of espresso-based coffees, sandwiches, cakes and pastries in a comfortable sit-in setting, with the consistency and long opening hours that make the chains a dependable choice.
While the city's independent cafes and coffee houses are the real strength of Durham's coffee scene, Costa holds its own as a reliable, familiar option that plenty of people use, particularly for a quick coffee while shopping.
