About

Calman Café at Durham University offers a convenient spot for students looking to grab a quick breakfast, brunch, or lunch in a casual atmosphere. Serving a variety of coffee and delightful desserts, it's a popular gathering spot for friends and perfect for solo diners needing a break from studying. Although prices might be a bit steep compared to other local cafes, the diverse menu makes it a preferable choice over the library café options. While some past experiences with staff highlight room for improvement, it's an easy-going place to recharge within the bustling student hub of Durham.

There’s no other coffee or other shops around so it’s like the only choice

Expensive coffee but has more option than the one inside the library and less queue
