Echo 3 Coffee House & Roastery — Restaurant in England

As a first-time customer at Echo 3 Coffee House & Roastery in Darlington, I was impressed by their unique Star Wars-themed ambiance and the welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, guiding me through their selection of hand-roasted coffees. I decided to purchase two bags of their house blend ground coffee. Due to needing it a slightly finer ground, I had to pop back the next day – which wasn’t an issue and was certainly worth the wait.

Upon brewing the house blend, I found the flavour to be intense yet smooth, reflecting the care they put into roasting their beans. It's evident why many consider Echo 3 to have the best coffee in Darlington. Tucked away in Clark’s Yard, it really is a hidden gem.

The loyalty scheme is very good and will keep me coming back for freshly roasted beans, caffinated drinks, something to eat and a friendly chat in a lively and...

Echo 3 is owned by a young couple who saw a gap in the Darlington market after visiting New Zealand, and have created something genuinely unique in a town full of homogeneous chain cafés and tea rooms.

They roast their own beans (a proprietary blend) right there on the counter top behind the till, and the smell is enough to make you want to buy bags of the stuff!

Situated in a quirky area of the town, just off the high street, it is joined by other independent businesses, and the vibe is immaculate.

Also if you're a fan of Star Wars, you're in for a treat :)

Dog friendly, with lovely bakery offerings and the best long black you'll get...
