About Starbucks
Starbucks on North Road, close to Framwellgate Bridge, is the Durham branch of the global coffee chain, well placed between the bus station, the shops and the river. It serves the familiar Starbucks range of espresso drinks, seasonal specials, sandwiches and pastries in a comfortable sit-in setting, with the consistency and long opening hours that make the chains a dependable choice.
Durham's independent cafes and coffee houses are the real strength of the city's coffee scene, but Starbucks is a reliable, familiar option that plenty of people use, particularly for a quick coffee on the way in or out of the centre.
