Influence Cafe

“Delicious vegan cake and great coffee.”

Waited 45 minutes on 07/02 for 3 breakfasts and weren't told there was a wait for food. The quality of the produce isn't as good as local competitors. Coffee was lovely.

First time visiting Darlington and my friend highly recommended this place, great options for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans plus the prices are pretty good too! I had a chicken & bacon wrap and it was AMAZING! Friendly staff, cute decor, definitely recommend!

My favourite place to have coffee or lunch when I am in Darlington. The menu has some interesting options that are always very well prepared and presented. They have a good range of proper teas and excellent coffee too. I've just had lunch on my own here which in some eateries is not a great experience but I felt very relaxed and happy eating my gorgeous spinach, bacon and poached eggs on sourdough bread. A couple of very polite young men served me and they made it a great experience all round. Thanks very much.

Came hear for a lunch whilst out in town a little busy when I arrived although there were two tables at the back free which I took one. Staff were nice, I got the pancakes, bacon and maple syrup and also got a lemon cake. The pancakes were good, my only gripe from the visit was that the lemon cake was tiny for the price I paid for it. Being a cake connoisseur I have been to a few cafe and cake shops in town and this was one of the more smaller portion cakes. Otherwise it was a good experience. I also came here as part of certain banks shop small offer.
