About Kaspa's Desserts
Kaspa's Desserts is the Durham outpost of the national dessert-parlour chain, occupying a unit in the Riverwalk by the river in the middle of the city. The menu is a full spread of indulgent puddings, from sundaes and waffles to crepes, cookie dough, ice cream and thick milkshakes, in the bright, buzzy setting the chain is known for. It is built for a sweet treat with friends or a family outing rather than a quiet coffee.
With long opening hours into the evening and a central riverside location near the cinema and the shops, it is an easy choice for pudding after a meal out or a treat during the day. As a popular spot with younger diners, it gets busy at weekends and in the school holidays.
