Jasmine Willis, 17, from Stanley had 14 small black shots of espresso while working in her father's cafe.
The effect was so severe she started laughing and crying for no reason while serving customers who were bewildered by her behaviour.
Her father Gary Willis, who recently opened The Sandwich Bar, just off Chester Road in Stanley, said she should go home to lie down, but things seemed to get worse for Jasmine. At 6.30pm she woke with a fever and could not feel her lips or breathe properly.
She was taken to the University Hospital of North Durham where doctors did tests and confirmed she had overdosed on caffeine.
She was finally allowed to go home at 11pm and has now made a full recovery.
