Retreat Coffee, Kitchen & Accommodation

A charming little tea room. The menu has a fairly broad range with quite a few choices for vegans and vegetarians. The menu is clearly labelled for those on a Gluten Free diet. Prices are a little on the steep side, which is what you'd expect for Grassington. The food arrived in good time and we all said how tasty the soup was. The falafel wrap also got a good verdict. The single toilet was clean. There are a few steps inside, but has level access to the main part of the bistro.

Absolutely delicious food, very friendly service and free customer WiFi if you ask for the password at the till, which was handy as we had no reception at all on our phones. Food was prepared fresh so a short wait for food when we were there at a busy lunch time. We especially enjoyed the falafel wrap and soup of the day. One toilet which was popular so had a queue a lot of the time. I would love to give 5 stars overall, if only for the welcome we received, but the prices were definitely steep for the amount of food served. It was all great quality, no doubt using good produce, but the portion in the kids fish goujons and chips was so comically meagre, it even had our 4 year-old commenting on how it wasn't very big for £6.40. Same could be said for the size of the wrap + chips for £10. We'd come back if we're looking for a bit of a treat, but travellers on a budget might want to look elsewhere (though it does seem to be par for the course in Grassington).

This place is marked down on my favourites now. The burger was absolutely incredible, so much attention to detail with the flavours. The loose leaf earl grey was so fragrant and tasty. I wish I had more room for the desserts, next time! Quirky little place, and you can really tell that the owners go above and beyond to make their customers feels welcome. We were asked multiple times how our food was as well, which I always respect and appreciate. 10/10 for everything!

***F&B Big Threes: Food: incredibly sustainably and locally prepared with lots of love and home-owned feeling Service: swift, polite, kind, and attentive, especially in a very touristy area flooded with groups Ambience: charming and home-owned with bride by the blue-eyed caring gentleman who takes pride in the homemade cakes, scones, and meals.... this place is worth the investment in meals and musings; awesome location just off of the square and afternoon sunlight

We’ve been here a few times now and always have a lovely experience. The service is quick and friendly, and although it’s always been busy when we’ve visited, we’ve always managed to get a table. I really recommend the paprika scone and the hummus and falafel wrap! There is also a nice small menu for younger children.
