Popular dog-friendly County Durham café moves location

Sweet Things, in Consett,  is much loved for its fantastic array of cakes, lunches, and breakfasts.  So much so that its owner, Katie Peters, couldn’t fit everyone in on weekends.

Sweet Things’ new, bigger location (Image: Katie Peters) Katie, from Consett, said: “We couldn’t get people seated on a weekend because we were so busy, we needed a bigger location!”

The new premises were discovered whilst Katie was on a walk and came across the available unit with “the perfect location, size and views.”

The dog-friendly café also offers a ‘Doggy Menu’.  The unique touch welcomes four-legged friends with breakfasts, roast dinners with gravy, and even cakes.

Both menus at Sweet Things, for both people and dogs (Image: Katie Peters) Dogs are welcome in the café, both inside and outside, making the “girly, community vibe” of the café even better.

Sweet Things used to be based in Victoria Road but has now moved today (March 28).  The Cafe’s new location is in 4 Regents Court, DH8 5FA.

The new location of the café also features their very own outside space, with some bistro sets and a few wooden picnic tables, too.  

Seating available with a view of the countryside (Image: Katie Peters) The café, which opened earlier today, has already had a very successful start with half of the inside tables being filled in 20 minutes.

Katie, 30, said: “It is so exciting, we have a whole outside patch, too, outside, which will be perfect as the good weather is coming!”
