1897 Coffee Shop in Richmondshire

Popped aquí para un café y pastel de frutas y queso Wensleydale, la comida era buena, pero el servicio era terrible. Había una señora mayor en la caja preparando comida y bebidas, era muy eficiente, pero las chicas más jóvenes eran tan perezosas. La señora tenía una cola de gente para servir, pero había dos chicas llenando las patatas fritas, una salió de la cocina secando un cuchillo para poner en el recipiente de cubiertos. La señora al servir a mi pareja le pidió a una de las chicas que cortara el pastel y ella dijo ¡oh, no creo que pueda cortar eso! En general, una verdadera decepción para nuestras visitas anteriores.

Visited Hawes for the day and came to the wenslydale creamery and popped here into the cafe for lunch. Greeted by a lovely waitress who showed us to a table. My mam was in a wheelchair and she asked if mam would like to stay in her chair and she would remove the current seat or did mam want assistance getting out of her wheelchair and into the seat and they would store her chair till she was ready to leave. Which we thought was so helpful. We ordered and drinks came out fast the coffee was really nice. We didn't wait long for our main meals and they arrived nicely presented ,hot and tasted good. Two of us had the brocolli and apple soup and one had egg ham and chips. We all had carrot cake for dessert and it was lovely and moist and tasted really good. We had a beautiful view from our window too. We would all definitely return

Went to the Wensleydale factory and brought some cheese today loved tasting it all and we enjoy the shop so then thought we would have a drink in the 1897 Coffee Shop in the factory but found out dogs were not welcome in so we sat outside under a small umbrella cold and wet know I always thought Yorkshire was dog friendly place but this place had 2 notices tell us dogs were not welcome in it coffee shop it was a shame as the drinks and scones were very good I think this place needs to look at we’re it is and the changeable weather it has to make a place inside or a shelter for people with dogs I see 2 couples with dogs just leave due to the reason I’m telling you about if rain just walk on to the town dogs welcome everywhere.

We were unaware that the main restaurant was closed (our fault we didn't check), but happy to try the 1897 Cafe. We went on a weekday in September - hardly anywhere to sit and had to wait a while before seated. Table was sticky and the chairs were covered in food spillages and food but our order got taken swiftly. Considering there were at least 6 waiting staff, it took 15 minutes to get our drinks to us and about 25 minutes just to get us some soup (which was missing the Wensleydale cheese offered on the menu). The food was light bites but pretty tasty overall, however wouldn't eat there again as it was noisy, cramped, not great service and dirty tables and chairs. While we were perusing the gift shop, we did hear a number of people saying that they were not waiting in the queue to eat, didn't look very nice overall and that they would go somewhere else to eat.

We ordered a bacon and egg sandwich and a sausage and bacon and egg sandwich. Worst breakfast I have tasted in a long time. Let’s start with the bread, it’s that cheap bread cake that disintegrated when you pick it up and tastes horrendous. Then the bacon tastes like it has been cooked in a charged oven (smells burnt). The egg was so tough it had clearly been left on the grill for a while. The sausages were dry and tasteless. The meal was dry and not enjoyable. And lastly the brown sauce, cheap sauce. So everything about this family holiday breakfast outing was most definitely cheap. I would have rather paid another £10 for decent ingredients. What an absolute shame that they are not tasting their own food. We will not be visiting anytime soon.

We were in early for lunch on a Tuesday and thankfully missed the worst of the queues that form seemingly out the door miles behind us. Service at the counter was 'steady' perhaps in an effort to manage the number of people descending on the place at 12 noon vs kitchen capacity and how many tables they have? Food selection is good and most things on the menu excellent. In one case from our group of five a cheese on toast order was mistake for a toasty, and it was subsequently delivered rather 'well done' which was a shame as burnt toast isn't great. Everyone else's was top notch though. -1 star for the slightly burnt toastie. Will happily visit again and again though.

We stopped here for a light lunch. I had the apple pie with a chunk of wenseleydale and my husband had a cheese selection board. We both enjoyed it and I have to say it was one of the best apple pies I've ever had. We had a decent pot of tea too. Worth a stop.

Had an excellent lunch at this beautiful cafe. Had the Ultimate cheese on toast with Blue Cheese and sautéed mushrooms. Good service as well.

Visiting the creamery, called in here for sausage bap and cheese scone with cappuccinos. Clean spacious cafe with friendly service and decent tasting food at good prices. Tables in garden area looked good for when days gets warmer.

Staff need to go on customer care training if they want customers. Very few customers but felt that they did not want the custom. The staff were too busy chatting behind the till than bother about customers. Food was ok but the cafe has gone down from how it used to be. The menu needs to go back to basics.

Visited on Saturday 15th May 2021 Hawes, North Yorkshire. Day 2 of our break, and a revisit for me and the first visit for my wife, in better weather than when I visited last October. Had a break at a disappointing Wensleydale Creamery Cafe (called 1897 Coffee Shop). Initially being made to complete a marketing card on the pretext of it being linked to COVID Check-in and Trace was absolute BS. Ordered this item from the menu. Cockett’s Wensleydale Fruitcake with a slice of Yorkshire Wensleydale Cheese at £3.50. In our view this wasn't a slice of Wensleydale but tasted like a cheap alternative cheddar. Overall very disappointing.

Lovely food freshly prepared, good choice on the menu and the Wensleydale Ginger cheesecake for perfection, still regretting my decision to share with my husband! Staff very friendly and did not stop, however, service was very slow for the food to arrive. Suspect this was down to the kitchen as the staff on the flor and serving were working flat out.

We called here for a coffee on the way to Aysgill Force. Although there was seating outside (which we had to use as we had the dog) in these times of social distancing it might be an idea to invest in some umbrellas or covering in the rain. Coffee was ok.

I visited the 1897 Coffee Shop as a stop-off on a tour of the Yorkshire Dales. The weather was terrible so I passed on the tour of the Wensleydale Creamery itself and went to the Visitor Centre which was closer. A tip: Visit the cheese shop in the Visitor Centre first, and sample the cheeses on offer. They really whet your appetite for a menu which revolves mainly around cheese. With a limited amount of time available I opted for a cheese scone (cheddar and Red Leicester, which gives the scone a rich, orange colouring) and butter with an additional wedge of Wensleydale and a pot of locally-made chutney. The texture was light and crumbly and the flavour was excellent, especially in combination with the accompaniments. As has been commented on in other reviews, the atmosphere is a little on the "sterile" side and the compensating factor - the view of the Dales - was lost because of a dense misty rain. But in the end, that's peripheral - you're there to eat, and although simple, I found the food really satisfactory, A really good way to spend time if you're visiting the Creamery.

Good value snacks and coffee. Toasted cheese scones were delicious. Black coffee was nice. Gets pretty busy at the weekends.

Inside the Wensleydale Creamery shop area. A very good coffee shop with quality food and beverages. Good place for a drink after the tour of the cheese making area.

Came here for a light lunch with a friend. I had a soup and roll. The soup was vegetarian- roasted squash with cracked pepper. The soup had a skin on it. The bread roll was rock hard and had to be dipped in the soup to be palatable. Soup was tasty in its defence. Friend had cheese on toast with a meagre salad and some chutney in a small bowl. Cheese on toast looked a bit flat but I was assured it tasted good. A hot chocolate and a sparkling water completed our visit. Staff seemed a bit brusque and probably tired by 2pm when we got there. Maybe that’s why it all felt a bit flat!!

Called in for coffee/tea after exploring the shop and tasting the cheese (most of them). It was fairly late in the day and there were still cakes on offer although I doubt it was the full range. Would call again

Decided to call in for a light lunch of soup and a sandwich which proved to be a bit of a mistake as a large bowl of soup came with a big bread roll and a large sandwich so we had a job to eat it all.No complaints about the food as both the soup and sandwich were lovely - just not needed together but that was our fault for being greedy - our eyes bigger than our bellies as saying goes.

The food and drinks here are Ok but somehow the room lacks any atmosphere, it’s all a bit sterile. Some attention to the speed of service would not come amiss, the present ordering system is a bit old fashioned and cumbersome.

Enjoyable food, homemade cakes, plenty of space to sit inside and outside. Wonderful scenery. Variety of drinks and snacks to choose from.

It was a cold and blustery January day when we popped into the creamery for a little shopping and a snack. We both chose the cheese scones and they were huge and very cheesy indeed.

Good place for lunch, the soup was excellent and the cheese scones were apparently the best tasted by those who had them. So no problem at all with the food. The views from the cafe are good as well. However, service was a bit slow and not well organised - a big (6) coffee order seems to stop everything, the food displays are poor (you can't really tell what is and isn't available) and whoever decided that what a cafe with views over the countryside needs is a bit TV with news and subtitles must have been wearing the wrong trousers.

This coffee shop could not cope today with the number of visitors. Tables were not cleared in readiness for the next customers. It was a bank holiday I know but the lack of attention did not give a good impression. Teas and coffees were reasonably priced and of a good quality.

Had our 'in-laws' over from Germany and as part of their visit we went to the Yorkshire Dales and visited this Creamery to see the Cheese Making Demo. A very pleasant morning was had and then we decided to take a snack in the Coffee Shop. The place was very busy but we were dealt within a speedy, accurate and efficient manner by pleasant staff. Two of our party had the Cauliflower and Wensleydale Soup and the other two had Scone with jam and cream and Coffee. Everyone was very satisfied with their food. The soup was thick and plentiful and very tasty and was served with a huge bread bun and Wensleydale butter. The Scones were large but tasty and moist, again served with Wensleydale butter, jam and cream and were delicious. The coffee was a good Americano style, rich, dark and tasty. Looking around everyone else was enjoying their food and drinks as there was a wide selection of cakes and other snacks available. Although I have to say our choices looked the most popular, the soup and the scones. The Coffee Shop was clean, well presented and absolutely packed so if you go be prepared to fight for a table to enjoy your delicious fare.

Visited the cafe recently for coffee, can’t say we will be rushing back. One of the party is dairy free we asked whether they provided any dairy free alternative milks to which the response was no. It’s not an unusual request and have to say most places now offer either soya/almond/oat milk. So unfortunately this member of the party was unable to have any hot drink or food at the cafe.

We hadn't planned to eat here but were hungry so joined the queue. It was very slow moving.

Nice for a quick snack and drinks. Soup was quite nice. Good cake selection. Lots of choice of drinks

Best scones we have had in a long time - both cheese and fruit ones which we shared. Cheerful friendly staff and lovely views from the cafe. 2 Scones and 2 Teas on offer for £6.95

A good selection offered all the time, food and drink wise, reasonably priced, and daily specials. Friendly staff

Although we wanted to visit the cheese factory, we didn't intend to eat here. However we were glad we did.

Enjoyed a lovely scone and jam here. Would have preferred clotted cream rather than whipped but that's a personal choice. My friend enjoyed the moist coffee cake too. We all thought it was a clean, light and good place for afternoon tea.

Ok for a quick snack or drink but nothing more. On our visit, the lady behind the counter has developed a remarkable knack of avoiding actually serving whilst chatting to her colleague. Not a great experience, suspect they rely on a captive audience visiting the creamery.

We enjoyed our visit to the creamery but were not that impressed with the cafe. It has a canteen feel about it and is more expensive than most on the area. It not a bad place but there are much better options locally and then you can visit the Creamery after.

Felt too busy which spoiled the experience for us a bit. Did though think toasted sandwiches, which used different types of wensleydale cheese, were good. Also nice to buy some cheese and do some (free) tasting in the shop.

We visited the Yorkshire market town of Hawes and walked past many cafes and restuarants to get to the Wensleydale Creamery at the top of the hill expecting the quality fare that one would expect from a place with a good reputation for produce. We chose the 1897 Coffee shop as opposed to the restuarant and ordered the soup and sandwich where the soup was listed as carrot and corriander. A simple enough soup to prepare. The sandwich choice was white bun or white bun, no brown alternative. Clearly cost cutting to provide the cheapest sandwich available. The soup was absolutely tastless and withoug seasoning or flavour. The overall expereince was really quite poor and surprising for a venue which has such a good reputation for its cheese. In my view, regardless of what you are serving it should deliver flavour and value for money. Sadly, the 1897 Coffee shop failed miserably here.

Stopped here for lunch after the Wensleydale Cheese Factory tour. Very popular but you can see why. Really good basic food. The cheese and toast was good and the jam served with the scones was exceptional. Would definitely return

Some good deals - tea and scones for 2 people for £6.95. Clean and plenty of seating. Door to outside seating has no handle on outside to get back in though.

Waited about 25 minutes for a Ribblehead Rambler cheese sandwich, it was supposed to have pesto in it, neither my husband or myself could taste this, the description said it was served with salad and coleslaw, this was no more than a garnish, I expected...

Tenía una taza de café con leche y un encantador pedazo de tarta de manzana muy agradable. Café muy limpio y sin personal amable tiempo de espera.

Primero lo positivo - Café era precioso. Si sólo quieres un café yo recomendaría el lugar. Es por eso que le he dado 2 estrellas no 1.

Los cafés estaban calientes y suaves. El Red Leicester y bollo wensleydale parecía increíble pero teníamos no había tiempo de desayuno. Limpias, gran servicio y arte interesante en las paredes. También hay un restaurante en el lugar si quieres una experiencia más formal

Nice cup of tea but cakes were too cold as they were kept in the chiller, as they were not creamed bases there is no need to chill cakes. Disappointing.Friendly helpful staff.

popped in for a quick coffee staff are all helpful, the cheese cake was amazing. lovely views from cafe

We had fruit scone at the cafe and it was delicious with jam, butter and cream. Not much else to the menu.

Great cafe with a good variety of dishes. all at reasonable prices. Would recommend. Very clean and the staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Stopped for a light lunch. We had pea and ham soup with a crusty roll and the same soup but with a ham sandwich. Service was at the counter and the soup and crusty roll was collected there but the soup with sandwich was delivered to the table - much later. Unfortunately the soup was very thin and only tasted of celery. The ham in the sandwich was also thin and did not taste of anything. Service at the counter impersonal with no eye contact or greeting. Disappointing all round.

The friendly cafe at the conclusion of our Wensleydale cheese experience was just the ticket. Simple hot and cold choice menu with an outside eating area if required.

Called in here on the way back from the lakes. Very pleased we did. Lovely, colourful, well presented, cheese themed light lunch. I had the ploughmans. 10/10Three different cheeses on it. Even the cheese on toast looked good. Plenty of choice even if cheese is not your thing. Could easily be persuaded to call in again.

We stopped here for coffee and a slice of something nice after visiting the cheese shop. I had the Wensleydale and ginger cheesecake which was fantastic! It was made with cheese from the creamery and the recipe was available on a recipe card in the cafe which I though was a nice touch. The company coffee was great and service was lovely. Would definitely recommend a stop here, especially as the views are great and the seats were comfortable.

We called in for a coffee but could not resist a piece of cake each too. Just the thing for a lite bite I recommend the cheese cake of course, delicious.

Just had a cup of tea and a piece of cake. The cake was a good size portion, and the tea was yorkshire tea, the wife and mother-in-law both had a latte and a piece of cake, total price £12.25, not a bad price

Located within the Visitor Centre, the café enjoys lovely countryside views and provides the usual selection of snacks. We both enjoyed our scones. There is also seating outside.

There was an imaginative selection of well-priced items, many of course featuring Wensleydale cheese- ploughman's lunch, cheese on toast,, sandwiches. etc Soup portions were extremely generous, and served with a tasty ciabatta roll. A pot of (strong) Yorkshire tea was only £1.50. The cafe was clean and pleasantly furnished. Highly recommended.

It is what it is a self service cafe. Tea and cherry and almond scone ok but expensive for scone £2-45p.H of food brought to your table. Upholstery starting to look grubby needs an uplift.

Visited today for lunch with my husband and toddler, loved the fact that our waitress immediately brought over crayons and paper for my daughter. Kept her occupied while we waited for our deli ploughmans lunch with a cream scone and coffees. My daughter had a gromits lunch bag which was really good value for money. Great service and a lovely place to visit.

Visited for morning coffee and fresh warm cheese scone.The menu is simple and food good quality with a fair price.Icecream is very nice.Views from the cafe beautiful and outdoor tables available.

Called in here when visiting the Wensleydale creamery. Good selection of yummy food (recommend on of the deli boards) ,friendly staff and very clean. Worth a visit.

There were plenty of tables and chairs available when we visited. Iy is self service and the drinks were reasonably priced both hot and cold. I thought that some of the snacks on sale were rather expensive especially £ for a cheese scone, when they make the cheese here. Good toilet facilities and the venue was very clean.

Called in on a rainy spring day. The coffee shop provides good rustic homemade soup and scones and the coffee is made to barista standard. It was packed on the day we were in so there were no spare tables but the helpful staff soon cleared one. Coupled with the shop and the factory tour (if you want it) the Wensleydale Creamery is worth a visit if you are in Hawes

Excellent cheese ploughmans lunch here, one provided with a gluten free roll and butter. There is an excellent range of gluten free food. Nice atmosphere and reasonable value for money. To be honest if you like cheese you could have enough just sampling from the cheese shop.

Stopped here for a drink good cup of coffee, and hot chocolate. Very pleasant clean surroundings. Nice views from side windows. Excellent flapjack

We enjoyed our lunch with lovely views of snow capped hills in the distance.Being 'National Pie Week', I chose the Pork Pie Deli Board which also included a piece of Wensleydale cheese... The pork pie was one of the best I have ever eaten, the meat content was excellent, great tasting and the pastry unbelievable! I wish I had asked who makes them, so I could buy more for eating at home!My wife enjoyed the Wensleydale Cheese Ploughman's Deli Board.The cafe was very busy but the staff soon cleared tables and removed any dropped food from the floor.Overall an enjoyable experience and not overpriced.

When visiting the creamery, we always call in the coffee shop. They serve lovely soups, cheese on toast, pies, cakes etc.Plenty of seating inside and outside in the summer months.

We headed for the creamery last Saturday as several of our party hadn't visited before.On arrival we realised that there wouldn't be enough time for a visit to the creamery so diverted for the coffee shop.There was no sense of welcome or encouragement to what might be available, nor any focus on what might not be available at that moment.Staff were busy with their chit chat and I felt that the customer was something of an inconvenience.While we were having our drinks staff were busy clearing and sweeping up. Of course the sweeping up was needed as the people doing the clearing were wiping directly from table to floor.We hurried to get away...maybe that was what was wanted!!?When we visited the cheese shop there are large signs noting hygiene, and yet staff were wiping cheese bits onto the floor. The nearby brush suggested what was to follow. There was nothing to suggest that the open sampler cheese dishes ever had covers.Rather in despair now I headed to the shop to meet our friends, and had to negotiate the ubiquitous brush that was in use there too.I have had so many excellent visits to Hawes and the Wensleydale creamery in the past that this experience was very disappointing.

You get good fairly cheap food here when it is open no waitress service for ordering but if you have on of the snack cooked meals it is brought to you

Whilst in Hawes, we popped into the Creamery shop and Cafe for a look around and a quick snack. Not being very hungry we went for the cheap and cheerful option of cheese on toast (what else would you try at a cheese factory?) - however, what was brought out to us was the tastiest cheese on toast I've ever eaten! Not only was it tasty, but it was substantial and well presented. It provided a surprisingly and disproportionately pleasant lunch! The cheese shop itself has the full range of Wensleydale Creamery cheeses and you are actively encouraged to try samples of them all whilst there - and there are dozens to try! I defy you to visit and not buy anything! Unless you dislike cheese, I would recommend this as a great place to drop in to if you are in Hawes.

Pleasant enough and just about OK for price. The food was perfectly fine (soup, ploughmans and brownie) and the setting was comfortable and staff friendly.

Arrived just too late for breakfast rolls but had the soup of the day. Never had cream of onion soup before and it was very good.

You get your when ordering/paying at counter then food brought to table. This is fine when not too busy but as in our case meant drinks had cooled by time food arrived. Quite noisy when busy eg when a bus trip arrives.

The snack lunch and coffee we had here was very good. Despite the cafe being busy we did not have to queue for long. The prices are very reasonable and the staff very friendly.

This coffee shop never disappoints. Have eaten here lots of times over the years.Always to a very high standard.

Very good quality of food at a reasonable price. Cheese on toast was excellent, although seemed to confuse staff when I asked if we could have our coffee at the same time as the food so the drinks didn't go cold!.

Pleasant clean décor with picture windows. Plenty of seating available, coffee was good quality and cakes well presented and beautifully baked.

Part of the Wensleydale cheese emporium it is pleasant enough with free seating and a limited menu. I tried the two cheeses on toast which was simply delicious. Served up on a slate with I recall some ? ginger jam or relish it was very good. Imagine that it can get a little busy with perhaps difficulty with seating but fine during our visit.

All the food in the coffee shop was excellent. The only down side was the disorganized counter staff. There does not seem to be any organization.Slow service, having to keep reminding them what you ordered.Very poor considering the quality of food.

Very light and airy with a very large picnic area too.It's a self service cafe and I do recommend finding a table before ordering at busy times. The staff are all very friendly and smartly dressed.Lots to choose from to eat and drink.

Great cheese scones as the title says, clean, airy and lots of food choice it was however painfully slow when waiting for coffee can recommend though we would definitely go again

Average coffee and cakes - massive retail opportunity for cheese and associated stuff - good views from cafe - Hawes is a nice place but don't go to the second hand bookshop - he rudely tries to charge 50p to enter the shop!

The café is really good with views of the hills in to the distance. There is a small area outside to sit with the sheep right next to you in the field .The choice of food is excellent all the items are stocked either from the Creamery or from the local area.Thoughly enjoyable meal recommend highly.

Good snacks (we had tea, coffee, flapjacks, soup, all nicely served and tasty), lots of seating (including lots outside in the sun) and interesting choices of food. nice staff. clean

Bit different from your average coffee shop and we enjoyed the change. Plenty of paring when we arrived and a short walk to the coffee shop. The cakes and scones were lovely and the Wensleydale cheesecake was a hit (just as well given the creamery next door!). In fact the only disappointment we had were the vanilla ice frappe drinks that our children ordered - they were watery and really bland tasting. Its a shame as the coffees that the adults had were excellent. Would definitely pay a return visit.

We have been visiting the Creamery for many years (we visit the area a few times a year) ... we often use Calvert's Restaurant however, off and on, we have been traitors and (for speed) used the 1897 Coffee Shop. The waitress-service Restaurant is a little more expensive than the Coffee Shop but, we feel it has a much better atmosphere than the Coffee Shop. There is one issue we have tried to ignore with the latter, for the sake of our love of the Creamery - but our last visit to the Coffee Shop (mid-September) made our minds up. We can no longer overlook the dirty floor. We have seen the tables wiped over but never the floor attended to. Other establishments manage to clear up after messy customers but it doesn't look as if it happens at the Coffee Shop very often - well, not prior to any visit we have made anyway.There is nothing worse than having to sit at a table, afraid of putting your feet down and making your shoes dirtier than when they came in. That is a strong comment but this is what we have experienced - with hindsight, I should have taken photographs as proof. It doesn't take much for a member of staff to be 'on top of it' and periodically get a broom out - I for one would be quite happy to wait a few seconds for this to be done, before I sat down. It will always be the Calvert's Restaurant for us from now on.

Touring the dales we decided to stop here as there were eighteen of us, very good selection of food and drink, nice cheese tasting section as well. Plenty of parking and things to buy.

We stopped here after a walk. In need of sustenance. I had the cheese on toast Karen the quiche. Both very good. Coffee was excellent to. Stopped by in the shop after and bought cheese.

Great café at Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes, friendly staff, reasonably priced snacks, well worth a visit.

This coffee shop has a lovely selection of cakes and snacks. I love the fruit cake and Wensledale cheese and cup of Yorkshire tea. What could be better on a cold October day, all served by very friendly staff.

Perhaps not surprisingly Wensleydale isn't really a hot spot for coffee shops. It's more of a tea shop area. However this place is great and I can hardly ever resist stopping here when I'm in Hawes. Normally I'd think the creamery (where it is located) is a bit too touristy and 'cheesy'. But this is a nice modern and stylish place with views over the dale and good coffee. Not surprisingly (as the home of Wensleydale cheese) the cheesecake is also some of the best there is. I just wish they'd have a bit more variety in the flavours. They only do ginger. But it is very nice. Definately the place to go in Wensleydale if you're craving a coffee.

Good selection of different quality tea/coffee with decent selection of cakes. the staff were friendly.

Called in for lunch and to meet relatives from Bristol who were travelling north. very clean café in the grounds of and run by the Wensleydale cheese makers (with visitors centre, shop etc.) Large licensed café in which you wait to be seated. They have a menu and a specials board. The food is prepared to order and is of good quality and plentiful. The ploughmans has to be seen to be believed.The prices are good and the service excellent. Everything is spotless and it is a nice relaxing atmosphere in which to dine. we shall certainly return.

Spent a week in Hawes, tried three different spots for my morning fix. Not only the only cafe offering a flat white, was simply the best tasting coffee: strong, bitter, not too long. Great scones too!

Nothing fancy, straightforward cafe food, with the added benefit of top-notch cheese as a base ingredient. The ploughmans was excellent, as was the cheese on toast.

Cafe with good food, ploughmans, cheese on toast, there was a lot of choice, naturally a lot of cheese choice as well. Needs more staff though in busy periods
