Overview

Accessible cafe with friendly staff. Handy car parking if required. 2 entrances both automated. 2 options for seating indoors and a lovely outdoor area too, weather permitting.

Transport & Parking

I live in Barnard Castle so I walked. However there are accessible car parking spaces adjacent to the café entrance near the library. The accessible spaces nearest the café are on a slope so be warned.

Access

There are two entrances. Both will be shown in the photos. One has automated doors at the library and outside space entry. The other entrance is on the main street This has a gentle ramp and push button system. Be warned that the door opens towards you.

Toilets

The accessible toilet is to the right hand side of the lift if entering from the street. It's also a baby change area so can be busy. There are grab rails and it's clean and tidy.

Staff

The staff are friendly and helpful. Many are volunteers as well as paid staff. I find it easier to sit in the gallery end of the cafe as it has more space for my Veloped. The café has wonderful homemade cakes , totally recommended.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

It is my preferred café in Barney. I use it all the time as the gallery end is spacious and exhibits are changed regularly. They are dog friendly too.
