Breaking Bread Kitchen & Bakehouse in Bishop Auckland

"The amount of times I've passed this place in Market place,and only found by searching up cafes. Could be better signposted. Very clean. Spot of for customer service and friendly. I got a takeaway bacon & hash brown roll, plenty of bacon, a Cappuccino, which was ok and a red velvet cake which tasted morish. All came just over £12. Better rating then the fifteas tearoom. Next door."

"A varied menu, pleasant and efficient service and welcoming atmosphere. We loved the halloumi wraps we'd ordered - one with chilli sauce and one with garlic mayo. Both were delicious. It was great that the wraps were accompanied by fries and salad, including homemade coleslaw (it was obvious from the taste that it was homemade, but the owner confirmed it to me afterwards). The food was served attractively on a wooden board. We will definitely eat at this popular venue again next time we are visiting the Auckland Project tourist attractions in Bishop Auckland."

"BEST EGGS BENEDICT IN UK. With Dog Friendly Outside Area. Where ever I am if they are on the menu I eat them and these are by far the best! Perfect cooked on top of a spectacular traditional muffin. My awesome dish was matched by my buddies who ate the quiche, a blt and an avocado smash!!!! We shared a gigantic bowl of skinny fries. We agreed in the car back to the digs that it was the best food and service in the North East uk. They also have a bakery and we bought cheese sourdough and more muffins - everyone is looking forward to breakfast. Simply the best!"

"My second time eating here, and both of us really enjoyed the breakfast of Eggs Benedict, and a Full English Breakfast. For the English breakfast, the bacon was of great quality with good thickness, and cooked just enough. The black pudding was very flavoursome and moist but firm, the mushrooms seasoned just enough and the tomato warm and firm, not squishy and tinned. The sausage I really liked as good quality, but my wife not quite to her taste, but I really enjoyed. The hash brown was just the right amount of oil and crispiness and the beans were good quality with a tad of butter to make a little richer and tasty. The sourdough bread was perfect, toasted just right, and with the over easy fried egg yolk made a great dipping. scored a 10/10 from me. The Eggs Benedict was a generous portion, and although not crispy bacon was with ham slices which was not of a "processed" taste and therefore great quality. The eggs were done perfectly, and the béarnaise sauce extremely tasty. The muffins were high quality and toasted perfectly. I tried a little of this, and for my taste, was very smooth and tasty as a hollandaise sauce, but I would have preferred it with a little more acid coming through, as a béarnaise sauce with some white wine vinegar giving it an acidic taste, but still an excellent sauce. The coffee and tea were both of excellent quality, and the service was simply excellent. Well done!"

"Heard good things about this place so had to come and visit. Delightful eggs benedict perfectly poached with too quality ham. Excellent quick friendly service too as lunchtime approached."

"Firstly, the owner is a brilliant guy, lots of time for his customers and has time to talk as well as work hard to make sure everyone is happy. Secondly the sourdough is fabulous. That's all we had as a loaf to takeaway but we will be back for cake which looked delicious. Also has an outdoor seating area at front and back."

"If you’re looking for a great place to fill yer belly & have some quality food at a great price this is the place to be …. First time and definitely be back….. nothing not to like and what a cracking find"

"Feels like a quaint, old-fashioned tearoom. Enjoyed their red & blue french toast for breakfast. Tasty and pretty good value. Quick service from the local, friendly staff."
