Reason to be part of Flat White After Hours #15 - How We Got Here...

Patrick and Peter started Flat White Café aged 24 and 22 respectively. After growing up and studying in Durham, the two travelled extensively following their education. After returning they found themselves working in Durham’s very own Gala Theatre & Cinema wondering why our city lacked a high quality independent, barista-led café in the glut of tourist-facing cafes or high street chains.

It was here that the idea for Flat White was born. Building on their barista training in Australia and New Zealand, they honed their craft, saved up a small pot of money and signed their lease for 21a Elvet Bridge, formerly Elvet Pizzeria. They carried out the majority of the work themselves alongside their full time jobs.

In December 2010, Flat White Café opened one snowy Saturday. Locals, tourists and the University populations opened their hearts to Flat White Café and in October 2015, after months of labouring, Flat White Kitchen was opened to provide high quality food and drink to Durham. And now, some nine months on, the two can still be found working behind the coffee machine ensuring that the original dream, to be the best for everyone, remains alive.

Flat White After Hours; Thu - Sat 6.30pm – 9.30pm each week.

Here's to the future...

Just this -

Reason to be part of Flat White After Hours #6 - Independent

From the heart of Durham City, we continue to strive towards bringing you the best alternative to the chains that plague our High Streets. We believe in the personal touch and know that successful businesses can change and transform how we experience and interact with food and drink. Flat White Durham remains proudly independent; we remain a refreshing alternative to large chains, where experiences tailored to each individual are paramount.

Reason to be part of Flat White Durham After Hours - #3 - Wine and Beer

At Flat White, we greatly encourage the sharing of ideas and the creation of experiences, and our evening openings will provide a space to gather and to exchange over specially selected wines and beers. We serve Wylam Brewery ale on tap and we've worked with Eden Fine Wines to handpick a selection of up-and-coming wine producers from across the world to ensure that our wine-list remains the most cutting edge in Durham. From Australian punks to Transylvanian farmers, our wine list encompasses an eclectic mix of producers that you'll struggle to find anywhere else in the North East. All of our team have been expertly trained in wine-tasting, too, so we're well-equipped to explain the delicate differences between each, as well as to make them accessible to everyone. Whether you're well versed in the language of flavour-notes, or just looking for something nice, we'll be on hand to assist.

We can't think of a better way to spend an evening with friends.

Another amazing review; This time from Living North Magazine.

"Sitting pretty toward the top of Saddler Street, this airy, forward-thinking bistro has already established itself as the go-to brunch spot in the city... Flat White Kitchen goes some way to filling the hole which Bistro 21 left in Durham's food scene, and feels like it's settled into the fabric of the city for the long haul."
