Spot on for customer service. Not many cakes to choose from when I went in. I bought a flapjack and a scone I think was £5.30 There is a step going into the shop.
Great local cafe with excellent staff and a good choice of drinks and food
What a lovely find this cafe was. So quirky with friendly staff and lovely food. My hubby and I were really hungry, on our way to Leyburn for a week's holiday and stopped off in Bedale on our way through. We had jacket potatoes which were huge with loads of filling and a very fresh salad. It wasn't expensive either. Thanks to all the staff
staff were lovely and food was lovely . the scones weren't covered over and there were a lot of flies and wasps and actually put me off my food.. i also didn't think it looked that clean the cafe. need to address bugs and cleanliness.
Lovely little cafe in Bedale marketplace with a courtyard that’s a real sun trap. The home baked scones were delicious and though we didn’t try a sourdough pizza they looked good. Dog friendly and serve doggy ice cream.
