The food was fantastic and the staff were really friendly. There was a thirty minute wait for hot food because it was quite busy when we arrived .But our cold food came out quickly so wasn't a problem.Seating inside and out and quite a few crafts and produce you can buy for gifts inside .Well worth a if your in the area!!! cafe with plenty of food choices, family and dog friendly. Cakes and gift shop including more on the second floor. WiFi available. This was a recommendation, and it didn't disappoint. I took my mother and daughter for a snacket and a cuppa. I had been told about the Corned Beef Pie, which I confess I will have to go back for now that I know the portion size!!! So I opted for the cheese scone, which was delicious and so crumbly fresh, with a Earl Grey. My daughter opted for a slice of the most fabulous Blueberry & Lemon cake, of which I had a sample. Breakfasts and lunches were available. Those we saw looked of very quality and generous portions. There was a selection of drinks available too. You could take away or have table service (or both, should the need arise as it did for me with the most amazing Brownie for the following days breakfast). There was ample seating indoors and out to choose from. It was clean and fresh, and the tempting aromas were tantalising. The staff were and helpful, not to mention patience whilst we tried to decide what to have. The facilities were well presented, accessible, and clean. You can also pick up gifts of which there was a fabulous range, greetings cards, daily essentials, treats, fresh bread, and local produce. Perfect if you're staying nearby or passing through and don't want the hassle of finding a larger store or supermarket some miles away. We loved our treat, and I will definitely be going back to sample the pie!!! So I made it back to try the Corned Beef Pie and was not disappointed. I chose a side of sweet potato fries, which were cooked to perfection. That was me literally fed for the day. little spot, not just a local shop for local people although lots of precious things to buy here. Terrific fresh bread. Great chocolate products, lots of great things for the home as well as preserves that I'm very much looking forward to trying out! See pictures for the range of products, also an upstairs clothes shop, great for the wanderers out there. Honestly nothing like this shop for miles around, so worth a if you're in the Melmerby or surrounding area. Great! Purchased the fennel loaf and rye loaf, excellent 👍 we also had the cornedbeef and potato pies absolutely delicious. Another on our way home from Northumberland may 2025,we had lunch,very food again. What a place. I've often thought about stopping here many times on my motorcycle trips but sadly just rode past. I was out with a friend on a ride out this time & decided to stop for a Coffee break. Again, What a place. It's spotlessly clean a great variety of food & some amazing Cakes & Scones. Plenty of tables inside & out. We sat out in the sun at the tables & chairs in the garden area. The Staff were & welcoming on our arrival which always makes a difference & a nice atmosphere. I will definitely be going back for a Coffee & Cake next time I'm out for a ride 🏍️👍 I would definitely recommend going there to anyone passing. I heard about this wonderful little place from a local cumbrian gentlemen. My taught, initially was to have a scone with tea, but unfortunately for me the scones were sold out. I'm not surprised because they really are that from what I hear. Moving on, instead of sulking about having missed the scones, I decided to have a lemon drizzle cake, with a cup of tea, but of course. Chloe, she is a fine lady, who attended to my request and brought my goodies to the table in the conservatory. I took the opportunity to ask if she could kindly take a picture of me having the experience of devouring my cake with my strong builders tea. I feel that Chloe attends to customers with a smile which brightens up ones spirits and makes it easier for one to feel at ease. This is important for me so that I can enjoy the pleasure of having a meal, snacks and drinks in a environment. I rate this little spot a five stars and look forward to go back soon. A quick for breakfast. All food was tasty and well presented. Coffee was very good. We were surprised that Warburtons bread was used for the toast instead of the bread sold in the shop area. We bought some of the delicious cakes and scones to take home too. Recommended. Enjoyed our this morning. A welcome, the place is spotlessly clean. Our food - a bacon sandwich and coffee and cake was really and the staff were attentive and very helpful (I’m gluten intolerant). The boutique upstairs is worth a too. Thank you so much to the kind staff who packed up our food and gave us instructions to a vet when we had an emergency with our dog! She’s all fine now but we were very stressed and they helped us all immensely! The food was delicious and we’ll hopefully again under less dire circumstances Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
